Was your psychosis drug induced?

I tried out marijuana about the same time that my life went upside down but I am skeptical that the marijuana caused any schizophrenia.

Are you me???

Totally the same experience.

My second psychosis was… but by Antidepressants.

Probably not the best thing to ask me…
I’m going to go with no. Saying yes would probably have profound ramifications on my grip on reality. So, no. You are you and I am me. Not to suggest you aren’t a pleasant person. :wink: We have most likely just had similar people around us through a time where others may have been more beneficial.

I wish it was drug induced. That way I would get a lot better and may not need meds if I stop the drugs. Reality is I had symptoms at 16y.o., long before even having alcohol at 18y.o. and marijuana at 21 y.o., I only had marijuana a couple of times in my life and it was after 21y.o., after I had sz symptoms but one thing for sure marijuana made my sz symptoms worse temporarily for a day. But I see it can last longer if you smoke it a lot everyday.

The only drugs I did in my life were alcohol and marijuana but in small amounts both. Marijuana is legal here.

I don’t think so. I started having symptoms before I began smoking pot and that’s the only drug that I’ve done that would really cause this kind of thing. I’ve never touched psychedelics or stimulants aside from my prescription. I have no interest in them because I have enough of a bad trip on my own brain chemicals except calling it a trip would imply there’s an end to it. No luck there.

I had psychosis before I ever started doing drugs. So I know that wasn’t the root cause.

But I do believe that the drugs exasperated the symptoms. They take a toll.

Stimulants made it possible for me to stay up longer, and this led to sleep deficits, which after some time resulted in psychosis.
