I always worry that the meds are doing some kind of damage and killing me silently by organ damage or some other way

A year tends to be the maximum period before relapse....and getting back on the meds is the only way out unfortunately.....normally they want you to be stable at least six months with no psychosis before trying to go off at all....it’s like there is an active psychosis being suppressed during that period whereas you could be in remission after that.....personally I’d wait before trying again..

If you want to avoid hospital....

If you’re getting yearly bloodwork then you should know they’re not.....if you’re not getting bloodwork then you should be.

I didn't realize that 6 month thing. It hasn't been that long since I last had symptoms so maybe it's not the best idea I guess

Yeah I mean the six month thing is for people with first episode Psychosis technically....they really don’t want you off once you’re diagnosed but some people do come off later but only once stable for extended periods.

Yes we are. It's like this every year. Especially people who live with parents or they dont live alone. I live with fiance, so I will not be on, on Christmas day and most likely not on the eve of it either. Due to having to visit 3 houses AND open each others presents.
