How to stop psychosis from taking an antidepressant ?
I did not get psychotic but I spent a lot of money which probably comes before psychosis
Is there any safe antidepressants for sz other than SSRIs ?
IDK but my antidepressant isn’t working enough, I’m depressed 
. I take Lexapro and can’t increase it because of the bi polar part of my illness, I would get too high. Speaking of high pot has been legal here for two days and I am not interested.
You need antipsychotics to help with psychosis. Antidepressants aren’t going to do that job although it’s common to use both.
Talk to your doctor.
Looks like hypo/mania. ADs are known to cause this. Maybe mood stabilizer. Best choice is AP.
I take an AD for suspected psychosis-induced anxiety
It helps a lot
Only problem is I don’t know if it’s that or the Clozapine causing the calmness

It’s probably the clozapine. It’s the most sedating AP.
I’m back on Wellbutrin as an AD and feeling better.

You could try buproprion, it’s not an ssri
If you’re trying to address “psychosis” usually you would need an Antipsychotic treatment
Sometimes combined with an SSRI for depression, anxiety etc
I take abilify as AP @AhmShere @keylow @rogueone
Should I add a mood stabilizer ?
I really feel the benefits from the AD but I am weary of the side effects
Problem is my next appointment with my Dr is after 6 months
What should I do now ? Stop or continue taking the AD in spite of the side effects like the “hypo mania” I hope I spell it right

This can make you manic as well. It is better if you see your doc.
