Do anti depressants(ssri’s) Worsen psychosis for anyone on this site?
That is a significant risk for people with psychosis, but many users here are on both antipsychotics and antidepressants. It’s a matter of risk vs. benefit, and only your doctor can make that decision.

I take lexapro at a pretty high dose. It doesn’t effect my schizophrenia or interact or counter my antipsychotics.

I think it does for people with mania or hypomania. @Wave always talks about this happening to him.

Yeah I’m schizoaffective and wellbutrin caused my psychosis to go INSANE. Although I don’t think wellbutrin is an SSRI? But an anti-depressant nonetheless
