I'm still kinda scared from my psychotic break like thing that happend to me earlier
It's made me not want to lay down until I absolutely have too
I don't want it to happen again....
I thought the medication was supposed to HELP me not have
break downs and stuff like this?.... If it's not working properly I
will need to be put on a different kind.

So I wouldn't really expect the meds to work 100% of the time they cut down on your hallucinations so that you can function but that's about it. I'm not saying you can't recover completely but part of that is finding ways to recognize and mentally put a stop to what is happening. I'll be honest and say that what you're describing sounds pretty complex and not like what is typically described for psychosis....there are other types of hallucinations...one of the really common ones are those called hypnopompic and hypnogogic which happen as you fall awake or asleep and some people experience something called sleep paralysis where they cannot move but are still conscious. So all these things can happen if you're say lying in bed and start to drift off to sleep even if you aren't actually asleep yet. If I had to guess that's what I would say happened to you and importantly both of these have nothing to do with psychosis or mental health at all.
