I've been getting the medicine from my local pharmacy, just not taking it. I don't need a new prescription.
If you haven't been taking it for six months, and haven't been having symptoms either, you may not need it - your doctor should assess.

If you've been having symptoms for the six months you've not been taking it, check with the doctor to make sure restarting is done safely (and that you know what to expect as you go through that process).

I'm specifically thinking about remedication because I've had recurrences. I'm probably just gonna start popping them again. I never told my provider that i stopped taking them, hence why I'm still receiving them.

Recommendations for antipsychotics is usually using it for one year, then trying to seponating it slowly in case of relapse. In the case of relapse, the recommended is to continue using it for five years.
Depends a little on the cause though I guess. If it's illegal drug related the most important thing is to stop taking illegal drugs.

You can't just start again at the dose you had when you quit most likely, most antipsychotics you need to increase gradually. It can be fairly dangerous just starting again with the same dose, though it depends on the type of antipsychotic and the dose you're taking.
For ADHD medications it shouldn't matter that much I guess, you can start and quit them mostly at any time you want. But ADHD medications can exacerbate your psychotic symptoms.

This is bad. Your doctor is trying to help you, but can only do that if you're informing them of what's happening from your side. Please, please talk to your doctor and get a professional opinion based on their expertise, rather than making decisions about starting/stopping/adjusting medication yourself. I have seen too many people go down that path, particularly with medication for mental health conditions, and end up worse off.

For antidepressants too, in which case it's important to gradually increase the dose to avoid side effects (which can even be increased anxiety and suicidality), and where it's also important to consider what medication to use, and what other treatment to do. In general you're far more likely to achieve a good outcome with proper follow-up. I think that in general you can say that antidepressants don't treat your illness, it treats your symptoms, and it's up to you to treat the illness. The medications only make you more able to do so yourself.
