I would sometimes go for years off all antipsychotics before I would have another psychotic episode. I got lulled into being overconfident that I would be fine. Even though I had olanzapine to take prn if I started having symptoms, I wasn't able or willing to admit what was going on when my mental state started to deteriorate and then I went off the deep end. In my 11 year history of bipolar this happened about 5 times.
