Does anyone know of something you can take to relax or get a bit high with schizophrenia that’s safe. Been drinking but to many calories.
Any alternative?

Alcohol is not exactly safe to take with APs.
A lot of people here take benzos, but they are addictive as hell and shouldn’t be mixed with alcohol ever. It is a tricky path to start or rely on them.
Lion’s mane mushroom made me feel high, but some people don’t like them.
NAC might make you feel better about yourself and is said to even help against sz.
The problem is that you are looking to escape your life using a substance and that can create all sorts of problems.
Personally, I meditate. Some people can’t do that as it worsens symptoms. Not for me though. Meditation gets me high.
I recommend air conditioning and weighted blankets thats the best napping money can buy.
Also getting a pet you can handle and take care of, and love. I smother my dog with kisses and she puts up with it, we have a good bond and the walks helped me get more vitamin D then I would otherwise get. I feel a bit more purposeful because the dog needs to be managed and I want to provide for her.
Loving an animal is pretty sweet, if your place allows it, I also recommend birds, birds are less maintenance but they will absolutely love you being home with them if you are on disability I feel like birds are a good middle ground, you still have to clean up after them, but you’re able to give them more care because they don’t require a lot of outside exercise. Bird seed is fairly cheap, and treats are fairly cheap as well. The birds I grew up with will always make me remember their bright eyes and their loving nuzzles.
Melatonin is relaxing its not addictive.
I have 2 supplements that relax me, both have an anxiolytic effect…
l-theanine (You’ll have to experiment with the dosage to see what works, if it works) - I take this when I’ve had too much caffeine and am having some anxiety.
CalmAid (Silexan) - I wrote about it here on the forum and provided some studies to back it up. A lot of people swear by this stuff.

I am going to try Holy Basil.
Beta Alanine might work for you, it might not. 1500mg completely chills me out.
L-theanine should work.
Broccoli sprout extract works for me to a lesset extent.
Benzo’s work but you build a tolerance to them. Once you go down the path of Benzo’s there’s no going back. Benzo withdrawals are horrible and even after you’re past the withdrawals the effects of anxiety lasts for months.
Where do you get Benzo’s from?
Your doctor prescribes them
I asked the same question a while ago, I want happy pills and I thought antidepressants are but ppl said they’re not so idk.
Tea works really well. There’s a million to choose from online. Check it out.
Everyone’s giving me answers that do nothing for me. I’m a very heavy drinker. I won’t feel tea.
Opioids are very relaxing and can even have antipsychotic effects. Taken too frequently, however, they are extremely addictive.
And they are dangerous to combine with alcohol.
