I am on medication for having an 8 week long delusional, manic psychotic episode back in Jan 2007. I believed many delusional things including believing I was Jesus even though I've never been religious (or never other than that (if that counts?)).

I take 800 mg of Lithium a night. I used to also be on an anti-psychotic and a sleeping pill... but that was for a much shorter time - like a few months.
