“Switching from Oral Antipsychotics to Cariprazine: Clinical experience has shown that asenapine, quetiapine, and olanzapine should be tapered off slowly over a period of 3-4 weeks, to allow patients to readapt to the withrawal of blocking cholinergic, histaminergic, and alpha 1 receptors. Clozapine should always be tapered off slowly, over a period of 4 weeks or more. “
