I felt a remission of sz during 1 year. Do you felt a remission period too? How long it lasted?

I’m off hospitalization 3 years now (on medication of course). Lately i feel negative symptoms unfortunily but i still can deal with this.
Curiously, i didn’t think it was possible but in my case i felt truely happy during 9 months…totally remission (as i see it).

After my first psychosis i was in remission for 2 years without AP. But on AD. When i quit the AD i crashed into psychosis.
After i have only had short periods of remission without meds.
Im currently on so little meds it is barely counting as an AP and im not having psychotic symptoms right now. Since december i did have some delusional thoughts, but nothing totally out of control. But i wouldnt exactly say “remission” is the right word, if you read my other topics.

I feel very similar to you.
I had only 2 severe psychotic episodes. After the first episode the Docter decided i didn’t need to take nothing. After 2 years, i had my second episode. I’m on medication since then.
I was awesame but lately i’m experience behaviour changes. So, i thing i need a medication adjustment. I will ask the Docter opinion tomorrow.
What kind of behaviour changes and negatives do you have?
Different changes, it’s difficult to explain but i can try to give you three specific exemples:
•I’m becoming a fragmentary thinker (reading),
•lack of will and lack of pleasure in activities i once enjoyed and
• less talkative
Ps: walking (acatisia) it realives me, that’s not a typical behaviour mine but it’s helping somehow lately…
I understand you struggle with it, i had some of these too because of psychosis and meds. I dont have a solution, but i hope it changes again. It can!

My longest remission lasted five years (without meds) but since I relapsed in 2012 I had to remain on meds ever since because each time I came off meds I got ill.

Never had a remission. Hospital only taught me vacation and they could not help me. So I stay away. Times get hard but they pass. Meds I guess keep stable. It just passes, maybe not that bad.
I’ve been in remission for three years now. It’s great. I’m on Risperdal Consta, Geodon, Seroquel, Celexa, Klonipin, and Trazodone.
