Antipsychotics can have a rebound effect, when you stop them psychosis can either return because or mental illness, or because of the rebound effect. There is alot of info written about it if you guys want to google it.
You should both speak with your pdocs, I agree with that. Abruptly stopping meds is tempting but also almost asking for trouble.
Argv, yup I think we all hope there will be a med that makes us happy. But there just is no happy med out there. I think the purpose if the meds is to help us achieve enough stability to function. From there we can work on the issues that are effecting our ability to be happy or content in life. If we go back to being unstable then it's really hard to work on anything besides just getting stable moods.
