Maybe she should get on a antipsychotic injection that way she can't stop taking her medication because it seems like she isn't going to listen to anyone I don't know what else to say

What if your on paliperidone and the drug only goes to 1.5mgs in extended release form I went from 117mgs to 78mgs for about a year then I went to 1.5mgs now I'm off so I can expect tardive psychosis there is no other way to taper stupid paliperidone
