Depends on how you define psychosis.
I've experienced amphetamine psychosis before. That's easy, just do a bunch of stimulants and don't go to bed for 3-4 days.
In terms of schitzophrenia like things, when I was very young and hit puberty, I developed a huge number of delusional and possibly schitzophrenic beliefs/ideas/ways of thinking. I was going through a lot of stress at the time, picked on quite heavily in school, poor home life, no friends, and I was going through puberty, so it's entirely possible that I would have just grown out of it naturally.
Instead I ended up taking seroquel for about 7 years. That completely ended my experience with psychosis. It's possible it would have ended on its own as I grew up, or its possible it may have gotten worse had I not gone on such a strong antipsychotic for so long at such a crucial developmental period in my life.

Asante said: I'm always a bit psychotic, its inherent part of my personality. I don't "lose it" though, psychosis and I are in harmony unless I take too much drugs in too short a time span.
Mild psychosis has become useful to me just like hypomania had become useful to Robin Williams.
I like the way you say your psychosis and you are in harmony, and of course unless you take too much drugs in too short time span. When you did do that did you feeling like you were pushing your brain a bit? like how you work out to gain muscle by pushing a bit? I am just curious. Whenever I take something and feel tired, it's like a red flag to me, like I'm pushing it too much too fast, by taking it too often. Then I'll be weary and be like I gotta slow down, I can't risk another psychosis.Then I'll be trying to feel my way around to find my limits, know my body better, then try to push the boundaries a little bit. Haha, I'm not too sure what the goal is here but I always have a feeling like I gotta explore more and report back what's useful, like as soon as possible as much as possible. It's just that I take this very seriously. It's life to me. Like was it you that said "these chemicals are me. funny thing?"
I just had a really good journey last night, and my mind is filled with things to share with somebody and I don't have anyone I can talk to. It's really lonely.
Btw, whenever you're in hyperspace, Do you feel like there is like a kind of etiquette of how to behave for those who go in those realms? It's like if you can reach those realms by either one mean or another you should be expected to know how to behave? Is there anything like first rule about fight club is you don't talk about fight club? or none like that? I know it might sound like nonsenses but that how I felt

I've had psychosis a whole bunch of times and been in mental hospitals more times then I can count. The first time it was labeled 'drug induced psychosis' - Prednisone and Weed. For me it's pretty much always been strong persecutory delusions usually coupled with aural hallucinations. (hearing voices - for me they seemed to be coming through my ears not just 'in my head')
It usually cleared up within three weeks to a month but usually like I said I ended up in a mental institution closely monitored on a whole cornucopia of drugs. I've been diagnosed with a bunch of things in succession, currently "scizoaffective disorder." I'm on an anti-psychotic. No episodes since getting on the most recent one.
I agree that there is nothing good in psychosis.

I have experienced drug/sleep depravation induced psychosis once.
The hallucinations were the most realistic I have ever seen, and I could feel everything too - angels, fairies and lots of other wizard/magical type stuff.
At one point I was hallucinating that all these tiny little fairies were nesting in the threads of the carpet in my bedroom - My boyfriend was still in bed at this point and I remember telling him "Don't step of the fairies when you get out of bed"
The angels gave me angel hands and wings and helped to clean up our back yard.
