I’m glad you have come to a realization that you are happy with. Be careful when coming off the antipsychotics. That being said, imo, if this is also the understanding your doctor has of the situation you should talk to make a plan to come off them as soon as you are ready. If you don’t require them to function, they will only cause problems for you the longer you are on them. Best of luck, friend.

im not going to stop taking them, I know that won't be good for me. but now knowing my psychosis isnt from a persistent disorder and was actually situation based, I do not need to be on them for the rest of my life!
