It sounds to me like you might need to be on a different cocktail of medications. I, too, experienced psychosis and was put on a variety of medications until being placed on Abilify 4-5 years ago. In addition to this, my Psychiatrist added lamotrigine, another mood stabilizer, and nortryptaline for depression. I have been stable on this cocktail for the past 4-5 years, with only mild depressive episodes occurring periodically, but no psychosis.

I also instituted an exercise regimen that helps keep the depression out of the picture. Maybe you could begin with a walking program, then proceed to something more strenuous like running. This is what worked for me. The point is to institute some lifestyle changes that will help, in conjunction with your meds, to create a better life for you.

Your psychiatrist needs to know that the lithium is not working properly, and that a change is in order. Your input is vital in obtaining the desired result, which is cessation of symptoms like hallucinations and psychosis. Your doctor should respond favorably to your input. If not, find another doctor.

Good luck to you. Keep us posted about your progress.
