safe to take antipsychotics if you need them

i have took aripripazole or ablify 15mg for years now for severe paranoia that i have, i don't want to take it, but it does help, i was prescribed it from a psychiatrist about 7 years ago.

but i just want reassurance that i will be alright, that it won't do me any physical harm taking it long term into the future?

does anyone else take an antipsychotic? will i be ok?

They are more beneficial for you than not having them. The temptation among those taking antipsychotics is incredibly strong not to take them. Physically, if you're not having trouble now, you shouldn't later. But do make sure all your levels are checked at least once a year if not more frequently.
