Is antipsychotics can made you schizophren ? cos the first time that i taken abilify it was for a trouble of delirium and two years after i cold tukey my abilify and i experienced a psychosis and now i’m paranoid schizophren.
But i know that abilify help me, but i want lower dose for avoid sides effects or stop it if i able to stop it !.
One time i decreased slowly my abilify in 2019 with 5 mg to 2.5 mg by days in liquid solution in 5 months and after i decreased too fasly to 1.5 mg in just on week (2.5 to 1.5 mg) and i experienced a psychosis.
What do you think of it ? do you think that abilify made me schizophren and that i can stop it a day in a future ?

Bonsoir @frenchman .Quitting cold turkey is a bad idea. You need a psychiatrist to monitor how you are doing as well.

I don’t think that antipsychotics can make you Schizophrenic worse. But if an antipsychotic doesn’t agree with you I believe your symptoms can worsen. At least that’s what I experience with mixing 3 antipsychotics. After getting rid of the culprit antipsychotic I felt much better.

I am not aware of any cases where someone was made schizophrenic by their medications. I know a lot of cases where medications made schizophrenics into functioning members of society again, however.
