My mood improved dramatically and I felt an increase in energy.
Today I didn’t take my vitamin D (600iu) pill and I noticed no effects (no good mood and no increase in energy)
So. I’m wondering if there’s a synergistic effect between niacin and vitamin D for schizophrenics.
I took another niacin pill and a vitamin D pill about an hour ago and now feel the good effects.
If you like experimenting with supplements then it might be something worth trying.
The max recommended dose of vitamin D is 600iu a day. Combine that with 100mg flush niacin and see what happens.
Please check that there’s no interaction between niacin and your meds on the internet first as niacin can interact with some meds like certain anti depressants.
Everything that boosts dopamine improves negative symptoms and gives energy. But too much causes psychosis. Meds cause negative symptoms by blocking dopamine. When I reduce my ap dose or stop meds I get a big rush of euphoria, energy, motivation, etc
I take 2000UI vit d and a multivitamin with niacin, no benefits. Try Mucuna Pruriens, it really works. I was able to hangout with friends, bike and walk outside for 2hrs, lift weights etc Its the only thing that got me out of bed.
This morning took 5 pills, no psychosis. Last time I took 7 pills at night when ap med blood lvl is low and it caused psychotic symptoms. Now I know my limit is 5 pills at a time.
