I went off meds for 2 yrs before but after a few months I got psychotic. Should I try again? How can I know if I am cured?

For me I can’t go off meds even if I think I’m doing well. I become psychotic very quickly and I don’t know I’ve become psychotic until I get sectioned and on meds again.

Can’t stop you. It’s your choice.

But I say no. Its a bad idea.

Ask your pdoc what the chances of you coming off successfully after multiple psychotic episodes is…

There’s no cure. There is only managing the condition well, which you can’t do if you keep arsing around with your meds without medical supervision. You’re just going to make yourself sicker.
