My 21 years old son was prescribed Dextroamphetamine in December 2013.  Earlier he was one monthe on Adderal and about 3 months on Vyvanse.  He developed severe psychosis.  He believed that he had scabies and then scabies turned into nanobots implanted by government.  He was not sleeping or eating or eating for three days.  He was taking baths every two hours using the dish detergent \"to kill the nanobots\".  I believe that he was also using boiling water causing skin damage.  He has been in the hospital since Thursday.  I wonder how long the symptoms will last and if the drug induced psychosis is curable?
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Your sons condition is obsessive compulsive disorder induces psychoses. The medicines given are good, and he should be back to normalcy within 6 months if all the conditions including rehabilitation is taken care of. It also depends on the surrounds of the hospital where he is treated. Chronic condition may be cleared within a week or so but to come back to normalcy takes time. Be patient and act according to the advises of your psychiatrist. Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
