Schizophrenia
From DrKoop's partner site on schizophrenia, SchizophreniaConnection.com
The best way to prevent relapses is to continue to take the prescribed medication. Because side effects are one of the most important reasons why people with schizophrenia stop taking their medication, it is very important to find the medication that controls symptoms without causing side effects. Always talk to your doctor about any adjustments in your medications, or your wish to discontinue them References Rakel RE. Textbook of Family Practice. 6th ed.
