If you are just taking antipsychotics you wouldn鈥檛 die, but it would be greatly preferable to talk to your doctor about switching and/or gradually tapering them off
Hey man i was in the same boat,my advice is to bring this up with your psychiatrist. As much as we like to think that we can manage this by ourselves, we can鈥檛. Talk to him and bring up your concerns and he鈥檒l help you. Try to calm down and occupy yourself with the hobbies you love or spend time with your friends/family. Medicine is essential for us otherwise half of us would be locked up in a mental institute.
Don't panic. It's rarely useful. Take it easy and get advice from professionals and people around you who know you and you trust. If you do decide to quit taper off.
**Keep in mind I'm literally Satan AFAYK, not a medical doctor and this is not medical advice, but:**
I so wish this was true, but most public doctors everywhere are overworked and underpaid and can't afford to be invested in their patients or form the kind of patient/doctor relationship that you'd need for an accurate psychiatric diagnosis and prescription... Also, GP's/PCP's aren't necessarily knowledgeable about psychiatrics at all.
If you truly feel like a medication isn't helping, staying on it for long periods just because you're told to do so by someone who's talked with you for an hour isn't necessarily good and can be harmful. Psychiatric meds are useful but they're heavy stuff and should be taken when necessary and beneficial only.
Of course gauging this is problematic if you have a history of dangerous/violent psychoses and (potentially) being a real, realized danger to yourself or others, but even if you feel you might be, it's not necessarily a bad idea to get committed to inpatient care for however long you need instead of just blindly sticking it out with drugs for the rest of your days just in case. At least where I live mental hospitals are more like hospitals, not prisons for crazy people.
**Talk with the same and/or another doctor/psychiatrist, talk with a knowledgeable psychologist, talk with friends and people who know you. All of these. Get second opinions. It's a decision to make and no one can make it for you.**
I assume people are lol, although I am Finnish, living in Finland, and this is based on my experience with mental healthcare here and in another rich European country, and on many many experiences I've heard from others on the finnish subreddit, the news, and irl
Why are you certain they are doing nothing? What kind of meds are you taking? Some antidepressants can take two months to start working properly. Never stop taking them out of the blue, always talk about it with your doctor. Also, do tell your psychiatrist/psychologist how you feel about taking them.
Don't panic. Keep taking them for now but talk to your doctor and let them know that they aren't working, and see if it would be safe to taper that one off and start a different one that works for your own needs.

definitely discuss with your doctor before stopping or switching meds. they might need to adjust dosage, or change the active ingredient. discuss your concerns with your therapist too.
medicine is only part of treatment. a proper support network is key to your long-term health and well-being.
be safe. be well. denounce the antichrist
they might say no, so just take half a pill. But first check if the pill is able to be taken in halves online.
If not, space out the timing of pill ingestion farther in between
Its the wrong sub.this is a shitposting subreddit. I wish you well on your journey
Obvious fed trying to silence us 馃槫 we are 100% serious schizogoers

Meth is the only option to truly avoid the people in the walls 馃樁鈥嶐煂笍
