Yes: Yes, any stimulant can exacerbate the positive symptoms of schizophrenia and also induce a psychotic like process. Basically any drug that increase dopamine too much in the brain can create a psychotic process whether it's a prescription drug or a street drug. Now every person is different so what amount can cause psychosis in one may not in another.

MEDICATION: It's important to find the correct combination of medications with your Psychiatrist. Medications aren't sufficient since they don't teach you coping mechanisms. Psychotherapy with a Clinical Psychologist can help you find ways to handle stress that will help medications work better. It is appropriate to obtain a second opinion from a Psychiatrist with concerns about meds worsening your condition.
