No, but I want to ask my doctor so bad. Some of my psychiatrists are very hesitant to prescribe stimulants for negative symptoms. I guess they are considered “conservative” and sometimes I feel they don’t want to lose their license or not have insurance cover it for me. They say it can worsen my schizophrenia. I guess I remember taking stimulants like adderall and ■■■■ in parallel universes. Why do I remember this ■■■■ lol? I just want to be high functioning and work and be successful. Why are they different/being so difficult in this life? Maybe it’s for a good reason. I don’t want to risk insanity and I want to be safe and healthy. See, I remember taking adderall 2.0 (as I call it) in a parallel universe. I considered it a limitless drug but the side effects were terrible like paranoia. I remember being super smart though and focusing extremely well. Furthermore, the movie was super unrealistic. I hope someday to be cured of this horrible disease. I wish my doctors would give me a chance. I like the fact that adderall/modafinal/strattera can be used to fight cognitive decline, tiredness, weight gain, lack of pleasure, and can be used as an aphrodisiac lol.

I think min-101 and especially iti-007 will be a game changer for some of us. I hope to become a scientist some day. I enjoy learning on my own.

My negative symptoms are pretty bad.
