HI.....
Thank you for posting your query.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
You are not supposed to discontinue this drug all of a sudden.
Once the normal serum level of prolactin has been reached, a steady state for minimum of 6 months has to be maintained. Only then you can discontinue the drug. Otherwise prolactin level keeps on increasing .
Hope i have answered your query.
Take care. Bye
