Does withdrawal from antipsychotics cause schizophrenia? i started to hear many voices several months after stopping psych meds.

Antipsychotic withdr: It is not the withdrawal from the medication itself that triggers the schizophrenic episode. It is the disease itself flaring up. When people with schizophrenia stop their medication about 10% of them will relapse every month.

Recurrence : With an established diagnosis of schizophrenia stopping psych meds will increase risk of recurrence of symptoms possibly including hearing voices.
