> OK, but people currently suffering frank psychosis, typically can't use the internet and have an intelligible conversation with other people.
I was in a complete psychotic break for nine months. I thought people were living in my attic. I was not only able to have "normal" conversations with people but I fooled psych docs and nurses in two psych hospitals as well. I was a very clever psychotic.

> Pardon my memory, but was it you who suffered a psychotic reaction to an MAOI? The reason I ask, is because I suffered a "frank psychotic" reaction to the MAOI parnate, which landed me in the hospital for a few weeks. They put me on Seroquel, but honestly, after the MAOI washed out, I came off the Seroquel with no problem. 2 psychiatrists at the time said this was a reaction to Parnate and that long term use of an antipsychotic *was not warranted*Same here except it was Geodon. I'll never forget the severe anxiety I felt (either from the parnate w/d or the Geodon, not sure).

> MAOI's (like amphetamines) are notorious for causing psychotic reactions. I never (before or since parnate) had any similar reactions.Same. Although I've taken high doses of Ritalin and never came close to being psychotic (that I know of).
Out of desperation, I'm currently trialing Nardil. I'm on 5mg Zyprexa and hoping that will cover me. Fingers crossed.
