Is it normal to get psychosis from most drugs but not have schizophrenia?

Might be a good idea to NOT DO ANYMORE DRUGS.

Hi I'm also diagnosed with psychosis and I too have done LSD and smoked WAY TOO much weed, I think it's the drugs to be honest, but I stopped smoking weed for 3 months and got even worse, when I was at my worst I thought my best friend was sneaking in my house at night and injecting/drugging myself and my mum and my girlfriend to rape them, scary right? I actually thought that was happening, for real. I stayed up at night with a knife multiple times waiting to pounce on him. It was all in my head. I take 10mg olanzapine now and the delusional paranoid thoughts are gone, it's like my brain has gone quiet and the only voice I hear is when I talk out loud... It could be that we actually have schizophrenia and it was triggered by the drug use, or it was caused by it. That was back when I was 17/18.

Just keep taking the meds they give you, and ignore all the thoughts that say dont take it because: it'll make you less smarter, dampen your brain etc. (my own paranoia about it), you need to wait a few months for it to take effect and then trust me you'll feel like normal again.

I love food again (for some reason I couldn't enjoy eating, I hated it), my crippling anxiety has gone away, I no longer get irrational thoughts... I stopped taking the meds for a month and it all started coming back.

Basically, yeah the drugs probably fucked your head up, but the schizophrenia could have already been there it just triggered it early or something.

Do you also get thoughts like you think you can read other peoples minds or predict the future? Or hear something on the tv/radio that relates exactly to your life and has a special meaning? That's psychosis/schizophrenia.

The voices I hear sound very distant and quiet, I can barely make out what theyre saying... Over the past few years (I'm 21 now) I've noticed its getting more powerful, sometimes the meds don't work (higher dose needed maybe) and I'll walk past someone and their words will turn into something my paranoid mind thinks up, shit like that, but I'll actually hear it for real and be tempted to ask them did they really just say that...

Look just take the meds and it'll prevent you ever going full psycho and losing complete touch with reality, because if you don't you'll start thinking too much and look at your hands and just the idea of being alive and that the world exists will freak you out... Coming to think of it, I think I do need to ask my doc to increase the dose.....

P.S. I also have asperges high functioning (a form of autism) believe it or not

Dont do it anymore. Those types of drugs always make me feel paranoid.

Hearing voices while sober means that you have some flavor of schizo(schizoaffective perhaps), and schizoaffective can sometimes morph into full blown schizophrenia.
