The worst case scenario is that you never get back to exactly how you were before. Unfortunately that is the reality for some. The good news is that they are in the minority and you should keep improving with time, hopefully.

I wish this went without saying, but IME it doesn't, you really should stay away from marijuana and all other drugs in the future in case you get worse. Unfortunately there's no way to know who will be the ones who can take drugs recreationally and be fine, and who will develop lifelong MH problems, and who will be in between those two extremes. Best not to gamble, IMO.

Also, as an FYI, remeron/mirtazapine is a tetracyclic antidepressant, not an antipsychotic, which seems an odd choice if you were diagnosed with drug-induced psychosis, unless they thought your issues were more depressive driven, idk?? Anyway, the important thing is that it is helping you.

I hope that you are able to get back to how you were before this experience

You were correct! there's no antipsychotic properties to remeron it said it's primarily used as and antidepressant or add on to and anti psychotic, so I've decided to self medicate I'm taking the seroquel as well as the remeron

I'm kind of pissed off cause from what I read it's best to get medicated as quick as possible an stay on the medication for a good 12months or so, also xmas is around the corner and I'm still feeling like **** obviously it's my fault for all of this but yo be honest it didn't become apparent to me that I had psychosis untill I stopped taking the seroquel weeks ago.. I just suspected I had derealisation or something wasn't untill I came off the seroquel because of sexual reasons that was when my symptoms became worse no surprises there... It's all very confusing cause I know going fold turkey from seroquel in it self can cause psychosis but it's hard to know because I've had one or two other episodes years ago this seroquel might of been tge last layer of support, but in saying all that since my psychosis i made a pretty good recovery an actually came of all psych meds ohh I need a psychiatrist ASAP

Hopefully that all made sense
