It's a illness a psychologist student gets in their senior year, I think.

Daizy,
I'm by no means an expert, but I think psychosis just refers to a psychotic state which can be brought on by a lot of different mental illnesses. Have you seen a psychiatrist? That would be the best bet to find out what is going on with you. From there, he/she would know how to treat what you are going through the best.
Hope this helps,
Krysti

I think it can be a side effect of depression. I agree with Krysti it can manifest in alot of ways. Delusions, hallucinations, out of touch with reality. They usually treat it with antipsychotics.

It just means a psychotic state, that's all. Yup, antipsychotics will work, but you're probably just curious over reading a side-effect, eh? Well, psychosis as a side-effect is rare for any med, and will remain rare unless the patient does something like add painkillers, take high doses, alcohol, sleep deprivation, and a whole cocktail of scary things like that to push the limits. Well, at least I know what the "paranoia" side-effect means on the hydrocodone side-effect listing... geez, never mix alcohol and pot with that stuff. Voices bad.

> Thank you everyone! Psychosis NO, PARANOIA Yes.
Been there with the cocktail of drugs, AD's and alcohol in the system, that always makes for an eventful night.>

Takes time, lots. Often is an over reaction to something, like a bad time for example. Can produce halucinations, erational thinking, etc. It made me sit in my room and stay away from people. Untill I got on medications, which I unfortuanatly still take. Curently I am trying to get off them, atleast I was untill my performance went down. Anyways. If you have more questions let me know.
