I think its absolutely normal to think that you will one day be famous. If you want to do something you have to believe you will attain your goals. I believed that I was actually better than everyone else. I guess it was sort of an extreme snobbishness thinking that I was smarter and better in every aspect of life. I seemed to be above it all when in reality I was very sick and not even performing at half a normal human. However, I considered this to be low on the list of my worst symptoms, because I was living as a recluse and being very withdrawn. At the time I didn't think it was a symptom. I sort of feel like it was almost a coping mechanism to the paranoia and anxiety. My brain and I didn't know what was happening so I just starting assuming that I was better than everyone. Its hard to explain and you might not be able to understand unless you live it. I hope this helps. I don't think that believing you will be famous is what I have described. Good luck at your treatment. I think AP's are good drugs. If one doesn't work keep trying because like I said they are all really drastically different from one another. Also its very important to tell your doctor everything even the most minute details you might think are irrelavent.
