I would not stop them all with Psychosis, been there even with the best care and a long taper it all came back. Only you know what’s best for you...

I think the confusion comes from the duality of your illness...depression and psychosis...in a way they feed into each other, but they have seemingly different needs.

If you trust your pdoc leave this type of decision to them. It’s so much easier than trying to listen to different people with different stories. We’re all different and respond to meds differently so for person A no meds may be a solution but it’s incredibly rare.
