I was diagnosed with schizoaffective three years ago,which is a less severe form of schizophrenia. I was on antipsychotics for maybe a year and a half, and they helped with the symptoms, but I wasn't a fan of the way they made me feel - sluggish, out of it, and generally kind of incompetent. I ended up weaning myself off of them and now I don't take anything for it. Dealing with symptoms then becomes more difficult, but depending on how intense the hallucinations, delusions, or paranoia is, your brain can be trained not so much to ignore it but to accept it as happening in the moment. The trick is not to let it affect you. You kinda just have to be aware of what's going on but not fall victim to it. Most of my hallucinations are auditory and it helps to assert in my mind or out loud sometimes that whoever is speaking to me is the irrational one, so why would I listen to them? It's different for everyone, so I'm not going to pretend I know exactly what will work for you, but that's just something I've found to be useful in dealing with symptoms.
