How to know if i need to take antipsychotics forever?

Depends on psychiati: the answer to this is not one that you can know with certainty. However, I would trust the psychiatrist who prescribed the meds. He can give you more of an objective answer that you. If we get better after taking medication X and then want to stop. I always ask my patients why do you think u have gotten better? b/c of the med u take and u don't want ur disease to regress after making progress
