Going off Anti-psychotics?

Posted by revv33 on March 10, 2014, at 20:04:07

I would like to try and go off antipsychotics sometime in my life but I had a few questions...

Will I have a higher chance of experiencing a antipsychotic induced psychosis when I stop them if was on them for a long period of time (does the risk go up the longer you are on them?)I know you need to slowly go off them.

Il explain a little bit about my experience with antipsychotics and my psychosis I experienced...

I had my first psychosis episode over a year ago and I didn't hear voices or had hallucinations I only had delusions and during this time I was smoking cannabis I then was hospitalized for 1-2months and was on 2mg risperidone and when taking it I wasn't in psychosis mode anymore but I wasn't taking my antipsychotic everyday I would spit them out whenever I could.

When I got back home from the hospital I wasn't taking them and I was feeling fine and didn't have any delusions but after smoking cannabis again a few days after I went into a psychosis again and had delusions and went back to the hospital where they gave me invega sustenna injections I then started feeling like myself again...

So what I am wondering is could this be a drug induced psychosis? I have been smoking cannabis since the age of 15 I am 24 now and was hospitalized at age 22-23.
