I just have to say it’s amazing to find this forum discussing all the issues and stuff I am wondering about. Especially the negative symptoms like mincing my words and the debilitation of my cognitive skills. To find a whole forum of people talking about this stuff is so validating!
I’ve just started some Amyloban after reading about it on here and I’m just wondering particularly about any experiences people have had with improvement of negative symptoms? I suffer from crippling social anxiety. Has anyone had any improvements with that?
Its supposed to help positive symptoms a bit but never heard of it for negative symptoms. Here they say Sarcosine is good for negative symptoms but it didnt work for me. Mucuna Pruriens extract containing at least 15% L-Dopa helped my negative symptoms but worsened positive symptoms like paranoia and suspiciousness, L-Dopa increases dopamine in all the brain.

It helps me with negatives significantly, to the point that my life has made a pivotal shift… i couldn’t even move. Then I tried it and my body moves!! It was like magic.
But I take lions mane though not the amyloban extract. Personally, it could potentially induce positives symptoms at times… because it raises dopamine levels.
But it could just be me.
Supposedly helps with anxiety too.

Thanks. I’ve been looking at that too. But figure I will try one thing at a time. Might try sarcosine next.

That’s great it’s working well for you.
At this point I think I am keen to give it a proper try as I find the negative symptoms more debilitating than anything!
Hopefully it doesn’t kick off positive symptoms long term. But thanks for the info.
Oh yeah no probs. Sharing my experience

I appreciate it. I have literally never spoken to another person with schizophrenia until I found this forum! And it’s so good to be able to hear what has worked etc honestly.
