Hi lybrate-user, amisulpride and aripiprazole both are effective antipsychotic drugs. But aripiprazole is a safer medicine with less side effects as compared to amisulpride. That may be the reason for medicine switch. I hope you got your answer. Take care.

Dear lybrate-user, as I have already answered, schizophrenia needs long term maintenance dose of tablets. Relapses are worse to treat. You have not had any relapse since you were continuously on tablets. Your doctor is reducing the tablets, its dose and to less powerful tablets like aripiprazole. Let your doctor decide how long you will be on 15 mg. Since you don't have much side effect with aripiprazole, why don't you take it till the doctor decides the maintenance dose and tablet.
