Nah.Keep It Real wrote:None of them have been psychotic. When I had a psychiatrist it was said to me that I might be able to come off the antipsychotics after a number of years, IIRC, so what I'm doing is compatible with professional thought. It is a well known fact that some schizophrenics make a full recovery, and to be honest I'm convinced that the negative symptoms of schizophrenia (lack of motivation, apathy etc) are more a result of the neuro-inhibitory antipsychotics than the underlying schizophrenia per say, so getting off the flupentixol could really improve my life.

As in "I'm not paranoid now, this time they really are out to get me"
I have had some experience of losing perspective, and always it seemed correct at the time, only long afterwards did I realise how distorted it was.
I can only suggest staying in regular contact with people you trust, and making it a habit to count their perspective on your behaviour as more reliable than your own, as well as taking a loss of that habit as a significant enough development to make seeking help fairly urgent.
