What is preexisting psychosis?
Preexisting psychosis means that the psychosis was already present before another factor became involved in altering the person's mental health status. It is hard to comment directly without more information, but here is an example. A person might have psychosis already as a late teenager. He might then go on and use drugs and this makes the psychosis worse. The mental health worker might say something like "The young person appears to have had a preexisting psychosis that has been exacerbated by substance use". It would most typically be stated in this way when the mental health worker provides an opinion about whether the psychotic symptoms came first (and in their own right), or whether they emerged as a result of something else. This is important when making a correct diagnosis, as it can distinguish between (for example) schizophrenia versus substance-induced psychotic disorder.

Do Risperdal and Adderall work together for a person diagnosed with schizophrenia?
Adderall has the potential to increase symptoms of delusions and psychosis, usually when abused. Risperdal acts as a direct antagonist of dopamine receptors which is the site of action for Adderal. It can be prescribed with an anti-psychotic to minimize any danger of side-effects. You and your doctor will decide if the risks outweigh the benefits. It is actually a very commonly prescribed combination of drugs(though I'm not sure for what illness), and is helpful if the person is suffering from negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Although there are some correlations between dopamine receptors and schizophrenia, it is not an absolute and each person may respond differently.
