I'm a 34M and 8 months ago i got hospitalized for what seemed like a weed induced psychosis, i was hearing repetitive voices and got really paranoid thinking people could read my mind and were conspiring against me, i thought there were people trying to bring me down because of my success. I would also smoke weed since i woke up until i went to sleep. I got prescribed first with 6mg risperidone, then 2 months later got it down to 4.5mg and 1 month later i asked to change to aripiprazole (abilify) so i got 10mg abilify and 3mg risperidone. The side effects were terrible and i felt horribly bad. That was in december 2025, now by mid march i decided to cut it down cause the side effects were debastating and went down to 1.5mg risperidone then 2 weeks later i felt confident and got it down to 0mg risperidone and 10mg abilify its been 4 weeks now that ive been without risperidone and 2 weeks with 5mg abilify and im feeling alot better and the psychotic symptoms havent returned. So im feeling good right now i dont have paranoia anymore and the voices have disappeared or atleast i dont hear them most of the time only at some moments i think i hear something but could be my imagination. I have stayed away from weed even though the carvings are killing me but i know ill get the psychosis back if i smoke again. So as of right now today i got down to 2.5mg aripiprazole and im also taking the goddamn 0.5mg klonopin i couldnt quit yet. But all in all the paranoia got away and the voices too so im feeling alot better but i wish i never got hospitalized and hooked up with klonopin. Just looking for someone who experienced this before and how was it after they quit the meds.

When i started i was on 1mg clonazepam and took that for 2 months now 6 months later im at 0.5mg and im wanting to get rid of it for good. My plan is to taper using liquid drops (0.5mg is 7 drops) so ill remove 1 drop every week or every 2 weeks. What do you think about it? Right now im sleeping decently some days and some days i sleep bad but its the best sleep ive got in 6 months.
