I still get them bad and my anti psychotic doesn’t seem to be helping against them. What meds are usually recommended for intrusive thoughts or is it just one of things no meds can help with ?
No, everyone deals with intrusive thoughts. It is not a characteristic of schizophrenia. In fact a survey was done in a he UK and most common intrusive thought people had was jumping in front of a fast moving train. Others included pushing others in front of cars etc. The survey was conducted on those who did not suffer from any mental illness

Please don’t say supplements lol
By simply understanding that they are only intrusive thoughts. “Events of the mind” and not your own personal thoughts

Neither did mine until my psychiatrist told me that and then I started to learn more about intrusive thoughts. It has taken the power away from them

I am not saying that you should not take your medication, I encourage you to do so. But the solution is not to always take more when you have another issue.

That is the equivalent to saying “I will get better if someone takes medication for me”
