Question about Nuplazid

My husband has been on Nuplazid for 4 months. At first I thought it was helping, but recently the delusions have returned. Dr added Seroquel to be taken at night to help him sleep. He was waking around 2:30 AM with a lot of anxiety - the Seroquel has helped him sleep through the night. I am wondering if the Nuplazid could be making him worse since the side affects mention hallucinations and confusion. I am considering stopping the Nuplazid to see what would happen (Dr. has given me permission), but I am afraid he could get worse (though I am not sure how much worse he could get). Has anyone stopped this drug after taking it for a while?

@cmk1952, such hard decisions to make, whether to continue or stop Nuplazid. I believe @ruthannw faced a similar situation and ultimately treatment for Nuplazid was stopped.

CMK, has your husband tried taking a break from the medication? Did you notice any change?
