My first supposed full blown 'psychotic episode' was about 2-3 years ago and I've had more in between. I've only been diagnosed for about a year though but my psych said it started before but wasn't picked up. They're telling me I need to take them for at least 3 years to get me through uni, but I have a history of non-compliance. I'm glad youv managed so long without a relapse I hope it keeps up for you and you never have to deal with one again

Edit: might be two years I've been diagnosed sz actually, my concept of time isn't great
