You could try applying for a Medicare advantage plan. It’s not open enrollment, but a lot of times programs will still let you in. Worked for me.

I’m confused. You have Medicare but not have access to it? I didn’t know that was a thing.

It depends on the person. Some people it happens within weeks, others months. I’ve been constantly the same degree of psychotic on and off the meds I’ve tried, so I haven’t personally experienced a relapse to give you my experience.

The last time I quit taking meds I made it 4 days. On day 5 I was in the hospital. It depends on how bad your symptoms can get.

3 months I went off my meds and relapsed. It’s different for everybody.

It was about a month for me before I started getting uncontrollable racing thoughts again. I went right back on them before things got worse.

I went about a month without meds before my psychosis became overwhelming and landed me in the hospital
