In reply to need advice on a drug induced psychosis by you, posted by Jeroen on January 5, 2008, at 9:31:03
I don't have an answer, but I'm curious.
How long did you take Lamictal and at what dose?
How long have you been off the Lamictal?
What does your psychosis feel like?
You say you've quit your antipsychotic. Are you refering to Seroquel? And were you on the same dosage of Seroquel you have been on for years when you tried your Seroquel?I have had my experiences with drugs making me worse (ECT fixed the really bad ones twice, not that you need to do that). I actually have the opposite reaction to these two drugs. I have been on both at different times and together, and figured out that for me it was the Seroquel that was making me worse, more agitation & anxiety rather than calming. Antipsychotics seem to make me psychotic. Funny how the reactions are all so unique.
I would guess the answer depends on how long you have been off Lamictal (if your body will adjust with time). Definitely call your dr. Maybe Zyprexa or a benzo may help.
