I think he was trying to test whether I actually had schizoaffective or something. Which to me just sounded like playing with my emotions. I don't know. He always tends towards wanting to reduce meds. I don't like it much. He also got me out of a terrible depression though. I wonder if it's time for a new pdoc. I don't know.

My original pdoc took me off all meds too, because I had only had one psychotic episode.....it took me nine months but I started having psychosis again so I went back on abilify. The odds are simply not in your favor.....once you have psychosis once it tends to happen again. I get what your doc is doing....he’s testing the dose so you aren’t maxed out. It’s sounds like you were on high doses of two APs and he want to reduce it. Generally this is a good doc....the bad docs I’ll keep you so drugged up you can’t function.
