Got my pdoc appointment at the end of the month. I have a problem with negative symptoms, chiefly cognition. Have tried sarcosine but with poor results.
Can anyone recommend any meds. Abilify springs to mind (don’t think we get rexulti here).
ADD meds. Stimulants. Which unfortunately I’ve heard also can exacerbate psychosis. Sigh.
For me Abilify made my concentration about 10x worse than it is currently. My attention span dropped to about 5 minutes. I literally couldn’t even sit through 10 minute YouTube videos.

My attention span is 5 minutes if that. Haven’t even sat through an episode of the simpsons in ages. Have you found anything to help?
Ps I have tried
Sarcosine
Glycine
B vitamins
Cod liver oil
Ginseng
Caffeine
Nicotine
Yeah I went off Abilify, helped tremendously l o l. Don’t think I’d recommend that though. My concentration is poor normally but I found every AP I was on made it far worse. Risperdal affected it the least but still affected it.

I can passively absorb music. Play it constantly. Just got cable (well satellite) but think it is wasted on me as I can’t concentrate.

Ps how is it going man? You well?
I’m doing okay, they’ve been cornholing me as usual so nothing new about it honestly.
Yeah man that sucks. Early start this morning again? How is your girlfriend?
Strattera and donepezil helped me for a bit. Then I tried Provigil which was amazing!

Early morning and she’s out running errands, hopefully she gets the beer like I asked. Trying to keep it a six a day.

Suppose if you only have six in the house it reduces the chance of drinking more than that. Isn’t easy man.

Can you take provigil long term?
I couldn’t. I take it intermittently. I get so tired and anxious in the evening on it, but its amazing during the morning and afternoon.

I’ve lived drinking alot, and it pretty much guarantees I probably won’t live too long. I dunno whether to be happy or trying to get a liver transplant. Tried overdosing on 57000 MG of tylenol from a sams club bottle while being hallucinatorily tortured on the scrotum. I’ve drank for awhile now, I need to calm down and maybe I should take up martial arts and yoga. Who knows who’ll I’ll look like next:
Groundhogged man becomes coffin nail through…???
Wellbutrin and its generics are known to increase concentration.

There are meds for boosting concentration but most of them will worsen your psychosis. You need more dopamine to boost your concentration, but more dopamine also means worsening psychosis.
Antipsychotics decrease dopamine while concentration meds increase it.
