All those years of stimulant treatment could cause one to be more psychotic in the long term.

Ritalin (concerta) does make me have a very very mellow mood like an antipsychotic does. It's a common side effect.
Is it possible for ADHD med withdrawal (not sure which med because I was only a kid at the time) to cause psychosis? Because I started my prodromal phase (pre-psychosis) around the time that I came off my ADHD meds.

The thing is that the lithium did nothing to help with concentration. I'm not sure if that's because I have ADHD or because of the schizophrenia (disorganization and all that)...
