For me I haven't been the same since my psychotic break in 2011. I don't know how much of that is the meds tho. I am better since I've become stable on meds, however I'm not nearly as passionate about certain things like I used to be. I also used to be able to read like 4-5 books at the same time. Since the break, I've read about 10. Once again I don't know how much is the meds. Before the psychosis I was only on an AD and a med for sleep.

I don't feel like I've fully recovered. But I am stable. So that's the best I think it will get. No more hypos, but also no more deep dark depressions. It's worth it for me.

I hope you are able to recover. Be gentle with yourself.
