In my personal opinion, psychotropic drugs should not be consumed for that long time! The Psychiatrist also should have reduced the dosage with time!
However, I would not advice you to reduce the dosage or change the tablet, without consulting the same psychiatrist. Take her/his suggestion to reduce.
Next Steps
Immediately visit the same Psychiatrist
