hi. psychosis is not fun. the beginnings of it for me are a lot like you describe, and that's..awful...because you're lucid(ish), but very aware of where you're headed. -shudder-
sorry about the prolactin level increases. some people swear by -carefully- dosed, older tranquilizers. perphenazine and loxapine seem to be popular. amoxapine...its a tricyclic drug for depression that somehow does double duty for psychosis. a shrink once recommended it for me, for yet another episode of psychotic depression.
anyway...try to hang in there. i just mentioned the older drugs because if you need a tranquilizer, it doesn't -have- to be an atypical. some people love the atypicals, others people do better on a low(ish) dose of an older drug.
sorry you're suffering.
