Whats its Ldopa content? 15%?
You mean brain damage? Idk if sz is brain damage honestly.
@anon67051439 Interesting, I got the same product, and it has done nothing for me. Are you sure it wasn’t placebo. Cause I’m questioning the purity of this product. Unless my brain is just broken.

Yeah, it claims 15%
No way. It worked everytime I took it. Maybe your dopamine is higher than mine. I took up to 7 pills at once, I started hearing voices so it wasnt placebo definitively.
There are 99% Ldopa on ebay, maybe try that.
Hmmm… Idk, I have a feeling my brain receptors are broken or something. Last time I tried smoking weed I didn’t even seem to get high, (although I was being very cautious)

Eh, I’ll just try and see if I can be prescribed Adderall or something like that.

That’s great that L-Dopa is working for you and helped with the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. I think nerve damage or tissue damage does happen over time with some people. It depends on the cause of it which is still unknown for most people I suspect mine is related to another condition I have that causes neuropathy. The condition I have is separate to the schizophrenia but could be linked–its like muscular dystrophy its rare and untreatable other than through physical therapies.
Neuropathy = nerve damage
My neuropathy has been getting worse. Anyways, I ordered some vitamins but I will look into the L-dopa in the future.

Idk but for me Abilify was best for my negative symptoms. Maybe not all negative symptoms have the same cause.
If you want something for nerve damage, I would look into lion’s mane. Amyloban in particular because it is a standardized extract while the others on the market are just filler. But apparently it is supposed to heal nerve damage.

@anon67051439 This article has a very easy-to-comprehend explanation of how schizophrenia affects the brain and possible links to its cause.

I want to get an MRI, cause right now it feels like I’m shooting in the dark. I personally feel like there has to be something else wrong with my brain on top of schizophrenia.

Yea they say one cause is marijuana. I regret smoking it before sz.

Ok, just took some more l-dopa, will see soon if it does anything. Maybe slight mood elevation? Could be placebo though.
Yea Adderall or Ritalin are a good idea especially since you said you have no positive symptoms off meds.

Ldopa 15% is like a very mild version of Adderall or Ritalin.
