Does the effects fade over time.
Please share your experiences.

It doesn’t help with negative symptoms. It helps with positive symptoms, sleep , and anxiety.

I take only 300mg a day now. Previously I was taking 1200mg a day which is the maximum allowed per day.

The anti-anxiety effects fade over time.

What should I take for my negative symptoms. I feel unemotional and I can’t remember the last time I laughed.
I can’t live like this anymore. Please tell me what should I try.

Abilify or Vraylar are supposed to be the best antipsychotics for negative symptoms.

What antipsychotic are you on ?

I am currently on clozapine and abilify 5mg.
Earlier I was on 20mg abilify but still no emotions.

Negative symptoms are very difficult to treat.

L theanine increases dopamine so how is it helpful in positive symptoms?

So I have to live my life like this?

I don’t know. The research shows that it is.

There’s new meds in the pipeline that treat negative symptoms but they’re years away. But at least there’s hope.

I was feeling really flat and lifeless and full of anxiety then I started taking an anti-depressant it helped me. I have more of a range of emotions now. I take Duloxetine 120 mg.

You can try sarcosine which is supposed to treat negative. Although aps are known to make negatives worse, I think your lack of emotion is caused by aps
