I didn't find psych meds had any sort of good or useful effect on me. I tried SSRIs for a while (2 different ones) about 20 years ago and they made me feel extremely disoriented and killed my libido. When I went off them I got brain zaps that felt like I was having a mini seizure.
But, I'm not diagnosed with schizophrenia or psychosis. Maybe your needs are different. Most of my problems went away (slowly) with self-administered exposure therapy. In other words, forcing myself to do the things that made me uncomfortable, every day, over and over again, until I could handle them.
