How Long until anti psychotics wear off?

How long will it take for me to become psychotic again?

i haven’t gotten my injection in about two weeks and i feel different without it and i don’t like it, my new clinic hasn’t set up a pdoc appointment yet and won’t until i go through 4 therapy sessions. i just know i have gone without injections for longer before when i was on invega but i was completely psychotic by about month 2 without it

Please call the out of hours help line @Joker. Explain what’s going on. In the meantime start taking your meds again. Please.

It varies.

It all depends on the medication, the severity, how many psychotic episodes and underlying conditions. Your symtoms may not even return or if they do could be milder. You should discuss your concerns with your psychiatrist. Generally, stopping these medication is an indication they (the psychiatrist) believe you will do well without them and is good news - best of luck!
