I'm not sure that stimulants work by increasing dopamine...I know they involve several chemicals in the brain and they
probably facilitate dopamine, but they aren't sure.
Secondly, there aren't two things farther in likeness than ADHD and psychosis/schizoaffective disorder. I'd be worried about who your seeing for a doctor on that one if it were me in your shoes.
Anyway, you are right about stimulants and psychosis being a not so great mix.
