I was off all meds for 9 months then started becoming psychotic again....luckily I was able to restart meds before it became too bad. I looked at the literature for psychosis as I had only one episode before and wasn’t considered bipolar yet....a huge percent relapse within a year(at least 80%)it isn’t right away. My pdoc tapered me off meds mostly to see if I had had a single episode of psychosis and would be ok or if I had something more wrong. I mean why stay on antipsychotic forever if it’s a one off thing right? My new pdoc is much more conservative and feels messing with the meds can make them stop working all together....her specialty is bipolar where the previous pdoc had a psychosis specialty.
