It’s too hard for me to quit vaping I can’t do it
Quit smoking tobacco just over two weeks ago. Will resume cannabis soon when I’m home. And ciders here and there.
Does cannabis work for you? It makes me super paranoid

Bro why dont you stop cannabis entirely and maybe get your meds lowered instead of going off them.

Impossible; I’m perfect. 
My social media is my vice. It was set to delete the 17th but something in me got it back so May 30th I’ll quit.
No symptoms on cannabis and I put my voices to sleep. Thc binds to endocannabinoid receptors in the pineal gland, and my third eye burns.
I’m tryna escape reality via third eye meditation.
Voices if they are annoying I put to sleep. No delusions atm, not since I was in psychosis in March/April.
Because meds don’t actually work for me. I can hear voices at the same intensity on or off meds, and I only get rid of my voices (Goddesses) by putting them to sleep.

The meds probably do something for some symptons. Going off paliperidone will make you a psychotic mess. Thats one of the reasons its used.
I can cope off meds. I only relapse due to stress; external factors; environmental; social, economic, and psychological things at play. I don’t relapse due to non medication compliance, and big pharma has an agenda and incentive to push these toxic meds onto us so they can generate huge profits…at our expense.
Neuroleptics are neurological dampeners/suppressants. They are used to make patients more manageable.
They are not a cure for the disease.
Solving trauma is a fix.
Edit: most of the patients I see in hospital, relapsed whilst they took meds in the community. Obviously life must be stressing them out. Poor socioeconomics. And psychological trauma.

All that is second to the fact that you will have withdrawal effects and rebound psychosis when stopping paliperidone and you will be force medicated again.
I’ve come off Paliperidone numerous times; dopamine super-sensitivity may be there, but there is never immediate relapse. Relapse usually occurs after several months to a year.
I’m naturally not delusional, except what may be considered a delusion: my hardset beliefs about the nature of reality and Goddesses in Prime Reality. These beliefs affect nobody though, and it does not impact my human life.

Yes it may not be immediate. Just the same as far as they are concerned you have no choice to be off meds, and you think you do. They are going to keep putting you on it. Best strategy is get into a position where you are taking a very minimal dose under your own consent.

Minimal dose would be a dream. But no meds is the objective. And keeping a mood diary and crisis plan to prevent relapse once and for all.

To get in control over your own medicating you have to show adherance then get on pills. Being on depot is the highest level of control they have to outpatients. Move towards taking back control and controlling your own dose.
