That is very interesting as schizophrenia is linked with nicotine use and ADHD. The vast majority of schizophrenics smoke at some time in their lives, many citing that it helps with symptoms though the research is inconclusive. Schizophrenia and ADHD have high comorbidity rates. Not to mention that psychosis can be a symptom of Parkinson's. Ah, that wiley dopamine!

Do you still experience delusions and hearing voices while on anti-psychotics?

I do still experience symptoms on medication.

Does the medication lessen the symptoms?
