You may need to it’s but not a requirement or a guarantee. If something isn’t working or a symptom is getting worse or is new or whatever you will probably need to change something. But, if all is fine, the meds are doing their job

I've found that I've had to over time, but only because they stopped working properly. But I feel like after you find what works for you, stick to it until you can't. Don't give up until you have to.

In my experience I feel like once you find the one, you know. At the start of my illness I has sampled through probably 7 or 8 antipsychotics, typical and atypical, I did a stint on two at a time including clozapine, and once I found zyprexa I haven’t learned back. I’ve been positive symptom free for 4+ years now and haven’t seen any diminishing effects from it. I’m sure for some people bodies get used to meds, but for me I think I’ve found the one
