Can you change docs? I had one doctor who offered me a lower dose of Adderall after a weird psychotic episode. That was an older doc, though; younger docs seem to see paranoia and think "high dose atypicals, NOW AND FOREVER!" Or maybe that's just my take on it.
Plus, lots of shrinks don't care about your level of functioning once psychosis is involved. They really just care about making sure you're "adequately treated" for the psychosis, which usually means hefty doses of some sort of antipsychotic, no matter what problems that may cause you.
I can't imagine that any studies would sway this doc. I could be wrong, though.
