Psychosis: The worst problem might be recurrence of your psychotic symptoms. This might not be immediate, but it's a strong risk. Hoping you're talking with your doctor about your plans. Be well.

Antipsychotics: I noticed u r not on antipsychotics, however, if one stops those medications they can have recurrence of psychosis and possibly involuntary movements (withdrawal dyskinesia). Please talk to your doctor first.
