Hi Ada
I have just been through a truly horrible time where a med was making my husband psychotic. Within a day of that med being withdrawn the psychosis stopped, although he is still not fully back to himself.He is suffering intense pain from a serious spinal/hip injury and I know that also adds to this.

He was imagining all kinds of things, was very angry and aggressively belligerent, reckless, intense moodswings, and a "persecution complex" etc etc and my hubby is actually a very gentle and rational person


so yes, having recently experienced this personally in our family, I do feel some meds, as well as pain, can really negatively alter a person's psyche
