Does going off antipsychotics cause psychosis? if it does does that mean i can never go off? i never heard voices before meds? so it's caused by meds.

If you were: diagnosed w/psychosis before antipsychotics,going off them will lead to return of psychosis probably. You don't have to hear voices to be psychotic.
