Lamdage,

I'm taking both vitamin D3 and the BCM-95 version of curcumin right now for what's probably an anergic depression with difficulty concentrating and excessive sleep, and for me, the two supplements seem like they might be acting in a synergistic manner without clearly worsening my psychotic symptoms. Having said this, I don't know if you'd want to try a combination of vitamin D3 and curcumin. Even though vitamin D3 isn't currently worsening my psychotic symptoms, it seemed to do so when I took it before I was taking Abilify. And curcumin has been reported to have MAOI properties, and considering that you've attributed your psychosis to MAOIs that you've taken in the past, I get the feeling that you might want to avoid curcumin.

But considering that neither curcumin nor vitamin D3 is on the list of supplements that you've tried (although I think I recall you mentioning the D3 previously), I figured that I'd mention them as possibilities. I don't know if any substance affecting the human central nervous system can be said to have a zero-percent chance of inducing or worsening psychotic symptoms, but I do think that some supplements are likely to be riskier than others. As always, looking at a supplement's potential risks as well as the potential benefits is advisable before starting a trial.
