https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulant_psychosisBecause you can't read I'll spell it out again
1. There are multiple types of dopamine receptors and antipsychotics block selectively, usually it's D2 I think.
2. There are multiple types of stimulants such as dopaminergics, noradrenergics, xanthines, serotonergics, histamines, combinations of the aforementioned etc.
3. Even among classes of stimulants there's huge differences, there's a reason there's a million different fucking SSRIs that work differently, usually due to binding affinity variations, and this is only one type of antidepressant
>>11970946They don't make people psychotic, anyone can have a psychotic episode from abuse and it can instigate psychosis in those who have underlying conditions/already had an episode
>>11970959Due to relatively severe ptsd I trialed a bunch of antipsychotics and even 200mg seroquel was fatiguing the shit out of me (the others did too) so I really do get why people don't like these, especially when schizos take up to like 800mg. Been exploring a million other venues to get the nonstop hyperarousal/vigilance under control
Anyway so the idea with bipolar is it manifests around the mid 20s (usually) following extreme stress over long periods, especially during formative years, genetics are also a big component. Anxiety levels along with frequency and severity of positive symptoms may be a decent predictor (I'm talking out of my ass at this point) of progression but you're going to be a lot fucking worse off just ignoring it, getting a psychiatrist willing to try different things is your best bet
The thing is cognitive decline implies a permanent long term thing such as anticholinergics resulting in dementia with very long term use, not just brainfog during the duration of the med
