I receive less messages and visions from God and the spirits once my antipsychotic medication kicks in. What does that mean?
The voice you heard was not worth trusting.

I think it clearly means that the messages and visions are neither from a god nor from spirits. It's good to hear that the medication seems to be working out as intended, however. Stay well!

Clearly, antipsychotic medications are of the devil.

Means you might need to find other ways of connecting with God.I receive less messages and visions from God and the spirits once my antipsychotic medication kicks in. What does that mean?
Same thing happened with me when I started taking antipsychotic meds. Made me pretty sad but anything is better than being eaten alive by your own mind.

What? Me worry?

Evidently something is working, or it's not...

What do you think it means? There are many interpretive narratives that could come out of the situation. I couldn't tell you which is the right one (if there is a right one at all).
Does it mean your experiences weren't genuine? I don't know.
Does it mean that the medication interferes with your connection? I don't know.
Honestly, I think the answer to this is less important than the answer to "how am I functioning overall in life right now?" At least in your case, from what I know of your situation.

It means that your meds are working which is great! I'm actually on anti-psychotics myself for hallucinations and paranoia and they work beautifully, glad to hear they're helping you as well.I receive less messages and visions from God and the spirits once my antipsychotic medication kicks in.

It means it is enough to be who you are and not hear voices. Being you is normal and fine. Voices are noisy interference. If God wants your attention God can get it without having to impede your thought processes.

IMO, it means they are limiting your subconscious mind's ability to affect your conscious experience.
Your subconscious mind can cause all kinds of mischief for your conscious experience. Antipsychotic medication either limits the brain's ability to transmit information or limits your emotional response to them.
At first I saw the subconscious mind as the enemy. Causing me to feel things I didn't want to feel. Causing me to do things I'd later regret.
Meditation cases a weird kind of dualism. I could separate myself from the thoughts and feelings I was experiencing. Then I could observe them and start wondering as to their source. Some thoughts were good, pleasant. Other thoughts not so much.
Being able to observe these influences as separate from my conscious awareness allowed me to have more control over which to accept, which to reject. I suspect antipsychotic medication just blocks it all. Limits the ability of the subconscious mind to affect your conscious awareness. This allows your conscious, rational, analytical mind to be in control.
The subconscious mind is not the enemy but neither is it rational or analytical. Your conscious self has to learn to govern all of the feelings, impulses, desires communicated to your conscious awareness, IMO.
Drugs don't do this but they do allow your conscious self to be in control and that's the goal.
It means that more religious people need antipsychotics.I receive less messages and visions from God and the spirits once my antipsychotic medication kicks in. What does that mean?
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'm tempted to make a thread to kick off a discussion about why there are things wrong with that.

I know a guy that reports the same experience but he has also stopped breathing on a few of those occasions. Probably unrelated but some say those meds can actually cause you harm? I don't have to take them so I wouldn't know for sure.
