Plus my god giving stimulants to someone with sz would be a firestorm the chemical pathways involved are the exact opposite----amphetamines are known to induce psychosis and that's basically what ADHD meds are. So yeah way to stand your ground and keep it up...

When I was on ritalin a couple of months ago it gave me the scariest hallucinations I've ever had and increased my delusions. It was pretty bad and I'm glad I'm not on it anymore.
