Oh, I agree with you that psychostimulants certainly CAN worsen psychosis. I just think that their reputation for doing so is overblown, and often comes from observation of those taking way too much.
10-60mg/day of d-amphetamine is unlikely to precipitate psychosis in someone who's already stabilized, IMHO. That's not to say it won't happen; there are people who have a psychotic break every time they smoke pot, for instance. It's one of those idiosyncratic things with no hard-and-fast rule.
