Hello Doctor, My Son Has Been Taking Sertraline 50 Mg

Hello Doctor,
My son has been taking Sertraline 50 mg in the morning and Olanzapine 10 mg every night for 6 yrs.
Dosage was reduced to 25 mg / 5 mg respectively in the past year.
He seems OK with the reduced dosage.
Is it advisable at all to try gradually weaning him off the medication altogether?
Thank you for your advice.
