Yeah, again antipsychotics lower dopamine levels as opposed to Wellbutrin raising them. So antipsychotics might have the opposite effect of relaxing a person. In fact, when they first came out in the 50s, antipsychotics were considered tranquilizers. About your mom and visions of god, being a schizophrenic I am all to familiar with those feelings. It happened to me while I was driving that I would just drive without direction and let God tell me the way to go. I would burn stop signs, not wear a seatbelt, and follow people around. Miraculously, one day I was in this crazy mode and I was actually "guided" to my therapists office. A firetruck signaled the way to me. Yes, while I was psychotic I was convinced there was a special relationship between me and god. But now I don't believe in god, because if he exists he f***ed me over. So why worship something that caused you pain? It seems equivalent to worshipping the devil, the way I see it, and I certainly would never do that. But I don't want to anger you faithful believers out there, I have nothing against belief in God, except when it denies some of the truths of science, like that we evolved from Apes.
