I know a lot of times negative psychotic symptoms are very similar to, or even the same as symptoms of depression. Due to this I am curious as to what effect ADs have on negative symptoms. Is anyone on an AD for this reason? Or has anyone on an AD noticed their negative symptoms have improved?
Some say Ad helps in negative symptoms …!! I am trying them Soon…!!!
I have strong negatives and I’ve been on several ADs. None of them really helped me … next step will be to increase my effexor because in large doses it hits the dopamine receptors too. If that doesn’t work either I will probably give up ADs altogether.
Seroxat has helped me with motivation
no ssri helped me with very strong negatives i have
only wellbutrin give me some energy and vitality and im able to do ■■■■ i have to do
problem?
i dont have to do anything
AD helps well if its correctly suited to your genetic type.
I’m on an AD and it does not help with my depressive symtptoms but I did see a reduction in fatigue after taking Effexor. Way better than I was on Prozac or lexapro. (I was a zombie on those)
May have to talk to my pdoc about upping my dose on Effexor. I’ve really gone downhill in such a short period of time.
