Suddenly stopping risperidone and sertraline

I'm 21 and have been on risperidone and sertraline for around a year. My general doctor has suddenly stopped letting me have my meds which I only found out when I went to collect them even though I have always taken them as prescribed. I ran out 3 days ago and, with no prospect of getting them, have already started feeling the withdrawal symptoms.

Does anyone have any experience or advice for this?

it's usually an eco cardiogram and blood test that has been ignored for more than 12 months, if docs stop prescribing meds it's because they need compliance to check heart rate and liver fatty tissue disease. Or they hassle you by not prescribing medicine. It's a bugger I know but GPs have a responsibility to see if you need heath from them or a szchi doc.

what is the reason your GP stopped these? It is not recommended to suddenly stop taking these medications and can cause withdrawal. I would contact your GP again urgently as this is not common practice

no explanation ? Maybe a clerical error
