What drug combo would you have to take if you have symptoms of psychosis (disorganized thinking, paranoia for instance) , but also have been dx with ADHD. It seems like anti-psychotics would cancel out the stimulants. Or am I wrong?

People tend to think that if you take an ADHD med with an antipsychotic that the meds would cancel out each other, but that is not the case.

You can take a stimulant medication in the morning in combination with an antipsychotic.

Of course different combos work for different people.

I wish you luck with your treatment,
