Substance-induced psychosis

I’m hoping I got MpD or something aka DID instead. Like two splits as far as I can tell. Everything feels split off before 2011. Even when I go back to my time loop I wake up or I feel like I wake up and start remembering in 2013. Reality was always funky and I could tell it was being messed with by aliens since I was a kid and even way back trillions of lifetimes ago. I’m one of the few alive that notice these things.

If I had my consciousness and was reborn back to 1989 as 0 years old, I could change my life and all the little quantum events would add up and life would be either totally different or totally non-existent.

I guess 1-2 cups or in moderation of coffee would do the trick. Yes. In therapy, they recommend healthier foods like apples for energy.

I wonder if stimulants like ADHD meds would help my negative symptoms. Did you try them?

Adderall drove me psychotic at a low dose. Wrong time, wrong place sort of thing. Poor choice on psychiatrist part. I was waiting years for it and asked her for it and she agreed and then gave it to me at the height of my psychosis at 2015. Then she reneigned on that decesion because I got sick. I have memory gaps around the 10 mg of Adderall she gave me while in inpatient. She said she did, but it’s all funky and blurry. Wasted my time and patience and made me miserable.

My current psych doc gave me Straterra and said I can only have adderall if I do a ADHD test from a specialist and I turned it down because of my caffeine addiction. So no adderall here. I don’t really want it but it might help me because I might have the inattentive type.

How was it? Did it help?

It was weak. Didn’t really like it. It helped for a week or two. That’s it.

Yea Adderrall is the strongest. Do you think it can cause psychosis if someone is stable and taking antipsychotics?

It’s possible. They don’t recommend it at all here. It’s something you have to ask your doctor. If you sincerely have ADHD it might help.

i didnt really smoke weed, tried it a few times. i dont think it had an effect on if I would get psychosis. although it did make me psychotic the few times a tried it.

I think drug use could speed up the rate at when you would get the illness though.

My brother used to take Adderral from his friends’s prescription to stay awake and study better. It helped him, he got his accounting degree and was working for the government. Now he works for a big company.

Ya, it doesn’t help for sure.

@anon67051439: did you have a breakdown? It felt like my pot smoking led to a tremendous :firecracker: it was all very synchronistic. Based on what I’ve experienced, you would’ve developed sz regardless if you used pot or not, only thing is you wouldn’t have suffered as much as you did.

Yes and it probably caused earlier onset schizophrenia.

34

Were you normal before your onset? I was in college but isolated. I became dependent on marihuana and the predisposition finally came to a head.

I had many friends, my voices started right when I started smoking weed at 18 y.o.
