I was on all sorts of medications before I quit,

But the last one was Seroquel.

Now I’m on abilify and very happy with it.

Yeah i take my meds now, lowest dose of abilify. 10mg usually does it for me, gets rid of the voices and weird hallucinations. Was on 30mg for awhile and i started acting strange again.

I was on meds at 17 years old. Then I quit meds until I was 21. 4 years unmedicated I was screwed up for the whole 4 years

When I was younger I could go 1 year without meds. Then 8 months. Then 5 months. Then I’m on em for good I can’t stop them more than a month now then I really start slipping. And I’ve never stopped them all just 2 of them. And last time i felt uncomfortable after 12 hours missed dose and I took my meds again.

I went 4 years when I was late 20s but now if I miss a day it screws up my sleep and I am not good the next day.

I recently stopped taking the medications for four days and had a severe psychotic episode that required two weeks of hospitalization. So yeah, not planning on doing that again.

A few weeks in hospital, they decided to inject me with something after refusing Meds.

Stopping Meds can be schizo mimetic, so for me I feel better taking my one tablet each night.
