when does it kick in?
is it long term psychosis if you stop suddenly or short term?
if stopping/starting goes on for years is it long term damage involving psychosis?

here is the problem: everyone reacts differently. some people have a short psychotic episode( like me ) and others experience acute, chronic psychosis. i wouldn't want to take a chance w/ psychosis ever again when it comes to meds because of what i went through.

what i know too, from my own experience and reading studies is that each time there is a psychotic break, there is a higher probability of having more. it is like a bad pathway is being tramped through the brain with each break. eventually no fresh green grass grows over that path.
