Once the meds started to work, how long did it take you to feel better from the trauma of being psychotic?
A couple of years 
About a year and a half… it’ll be two years in October since my last psychotic episode
Honestly, I still haven’t fully recovered from my past psychotic episode and that was 3 years ago
Well that mostly depends on if you won’t stop your meds.
Hmm. . .
Seems Like A Strange Question To Me In All Reality.
Recovering From A Psychotic Episode?.
Well…,
Without Medications There Is No Such Thing As Recovery. (Going Against My Younger Self).
Now, I Have No Say So In Natural Drug’s. Herbs Or Whatever It Is That They Prescribe.
Although I Gotta Mention. If Marijuana Gets Legalized Where I Stay. I Will Be Raising A Suggestion To My Doctor. Although She Doesn’t Seem To Be The Type To Award Such Relaxation.
And SLEEP. Ugh!, The Sleep On Weed Is The Bestest.
N e Hoo.
I’ve Had Numerous Psychotic Episodes. That Slowly Spiraled Out Of Control.
Some Took Month’s. Some Took A Few Quick Weeks.
Short Hospitalization’s. Back On Drug’s. And Me Giving It Another Shot.
And Of Course, Trying To Break The Cycle Without Med’s. Once Again.
Strapped To Bed’s. Choked By Cops. (My Fault Really). I Was Screaming In An Emergency Room. And After The Cop Pushed Me Into A Bed, I Was Once Again Strapped Down.
And Seriously Folks, Those Things Are Annoying To Put It Lightly.
You Can’t Move At All. Except Your Hands And Feet. Which Is A Very Strange Reality To Wake Up In. I Think The Last Bed I Was Strapped Too, I Jus Gave Up And Passed Out.
Woke Up And Was Free Again.
Then Guided To The Facility.
I Feel Like I’m Rambling. . .
I Have Discovered After Many Years Of Anguish And Disagreement. That Medications Are Your Best Bet. The Chaos. Confusion. Hopelessness. 1000’s Of Voices. Seeing Faces Everywhere. Some Happy. Some Sad. Some Angry. Some Questioning. ANNOYING.
Not To Mention The Delusions Upon Society, Civilization, And Mainstream Culture.
And Beer.
Although I Could Never Catch A Buzz.
Ugh!.
I Don’t Understand The Question.

I do not think I have fully recovered from psychosis, because there are some things I still believe to be true. But working on it.
Years initially. I had a poor prognosis and was treatment resistant.
I learned what to tell the doctor what was delusional and what is not. When I told them I was lying they said it was still proof I was sane. I keep my mind as skeptical as possible about supernatural things, but entertain a lot of junk. Today I saw a light moving around my apartment. I live on the third floor, and it’s not the kind of thing you hallucinate. Unless someone was in a tree with something reflecting the sun which was in the opposite direction, then I saw a spirit. I know how crazy it sounds. Am I sane? I am not myself anymore, that’s psychotic!
to feel a bit better it took like 4 months to feel some improvement.
I don’t know how “recovered” I am, but my brain and soul still have scars from each major episode.
It’s taken me years to recover to a point where it’s no longer pure suffering.
Finding the right med made all the difference. Helped me.
