I know I need my APs it helps to lessen the delusions/hallucinations. However back in the day when I started APs originally I was taking them to control BP depression, not for what I take them for now. I slowly progressively got worse in my MI until I had my first psychotic episode then after this it went from taking them to help with depression too I needed them every day to help keep control. I tried to quit taking my meds recently which resulted in where I am now I had the choice of injections or being in the hospital again.
