I was taking a supplement called NAC that helped, it kept me awake more though made it kinda hard to sleep. I might try it again, I took it while coming off abilify and my positive symptoms came back hard, Idk if it was the NAC or the lack of abilify
My negatives get bad, but I take a fake it til you make it approach to them. It’s not easy, and only sort of works, but it does help.
Hi om cbt refers to cognitive behaviour therapy.its also known as client centered therapy like talk therapy…
U can ask ur therapist to give u one session of cbt…try once
I dont have a therapist. only a psychiatrist…

My Negative symptoms are unbearable.
Nothing gives me pleasure and I’m spending the majority of time on the couch.
Really getting tired.
I’m thinking that my meds contribute to me living this way.
I want to ask my psychiatrist to lower my Depakote dose a bit more.
I am not functioning
