Glad to hear you’re ok.
My theory is it was nicotine withdrawal at a stressful time but pdoc says its the med change
Nicotine can actually cause symptoms. How long have you been smoking?
About 15 years on gum now

I chew like five gums a day
Been smoking one a day for like a week now but clean from cigs for two days.
Marijuana does but never heard that nicotine causes psychosis. I have been vaping nicotine for years and never had any psychosis. I had psychosis before while on Abilify. Abilify is a weak antipsychotic, just a partial not full dopamine antagonist.
You Dr is right, its the med change. Same thing happened to me.
That’s what doc explained pity didn’t work as loved ability others rwise

How long did you take to recover when they putb you back on old meds?
A couple of weeks.
I am on Risperdal now. Before Abilify I was on Latuda. I tried Olanzapine when my illness started 9 years ago.
That’s my experience but doc says a week so I’m hoping
