How does risperdal help you?

Does it effect your memory or cognition?

Risperdal+Sarcosine both increase Glutamate receptors function (NMDA etc). So they both theoretically improve negative symptoms. Glutamate is the stimulatory neurotransmitter of the brain. I will try them in a month when I see my psychiatrist.

So your adding risperdal to latuda?

No, switching from Latuda to Risperdal+Sarcosine.

Why The switch?

Negative symptoms. I can’t get rid of them with any other med.

Oh. Well I hope it helps

@LovelyCreature, thought insertion is when you perceive, (not hear), the thoughts of other people around you.

@LovelyCreature, yes it does. Adversely. Thought insertion is a form of psychosis. And every time a person has an episode of psychosis, their memory and cognition is adversely affected a little more.

Oh wow i had no idea. Ive been having intermittent psychosis for a year now. So theres hope i will get better once im stable on risperdone?

How did the switch go?

Negative symptoms are the same. Positive symptoms better. Made me sleepy so I started drinking coffee and black tea all day.

Thought insertion is when you can sense other people’s thoughts. Like telepathy. And it is not a good experience either. More like pure torture in fact.
