what about negative symptoms…do u have any idea to improve it…
I have some pretty heavy negative symptoms.
Latuda has helped me get out of that deep rut.
The motivation… I always have to work on…
mostly I sort of loose my focus and energy during big tasks… so I have to find a way to make the steps little and go at something slowly.

I have negative and positive symptoms because my basic med has stopped working for me. About the negatives, you can fight them with an antidepressant, unless it worsens your psychosis like it does to me, or if you are not from America, you can take Amisulpride, it’s an antipsychotic for both negatives and positives.

They don’t do amilsupride in America?
At least at the US I don’t think so.
Positive symptoms are easier to treat than the Negative symptoms.
Certain antipsychotics have activating/antidepressant properties like Abilify or Latuda - they can help the Negative symptoms many times.
Antidepressants and stimulants are sometimes used - but they can worsen the positive symptoms - so its a tricky situation.
A safe bet, would be to exercise - walk everyday and maintain good health through nutrition - this can help

I don’t have either thanks to the meds
Its been almost three months since my last injection of Invega Sustenna and still no voices, although I have more of an propensity to mistake for words for something else. So probably they are slowly coming back. I hope not too bad.
My negative symptoms are improving as I believe these to be partly due to med side effects, or at least Im more spontaneous now, for better or worse,
my meds are really good as well x
With the exception of delusions my positives are well controlled with Geodon so long as I keep my stress levels low but I can’t find anything that works for the negatives.
Honestly I can’t tell the difference.
I get heavy negatives of avolition and lack of motivation.
I find adjusting my attitude and a scheduling activities helps keep me out of the pit of doom. And just appreciating the simple things in life
