I stopped taking meds when I was 17. I'm now 24. I still hear voices occasionally and rarely have visual hallucinations; but I just deal with it. It's not easy because over time I've begun to lose patience with it all and makes me question my own sanity. at most once a week which helps take away my anxiety and keeps me from worrying about the voices for a little while even when still hearing them. I find it refreshes my brain more than taking antipsychotics like Risperidone which I was prescribed. However the substance is quite pricey and highly addictive so I plan on going back to antipsychotics soon.
