Tired of seeing everyone around me having a life and even enjoying it. I lost mine since having schizophrenia and it never improved since then, some of my psychiatrists gave up on me transferring me to other psychiatrists because of my negative symptoms.
I drown myself in computer games to escape the fact I have sz and don’t have a life you could try that maybe
I can’t play on my own, I need my online friend to call me to play for 30 min but its been a week he hasn’t called. I don’t want to call him.

I took supplements but its risky. I was desperate perhaps more than you. Don’t need them anymore.
My favorite was sodium benzoate. It still sort of works.
I like ashwaghanda for ED.
I suck even at videogames.
Why don’t you want to call him?
a book my help the power of positive thinking… by norman peale. my help a life time for you.
vitamin b complex will really help you
if you take it right dose and right timing
I don’t feel good about calling him, he has a life and is busy working and hanging out with his friends.
It doesn’t help I take it every morning, supplements are useless in my case, its severe.

That’s already in my vape juice, it doesn’t help. Ashwagandha can cause psychosis just like ginseng.
I can’t focus on reading a book.
one must do things one don’t like in order to change, sorry i don’t like reading. but you can

According to you, everything can cause psychosis. Early on, I thought candy or sugar caused my psychosis. I took the risk because I wanted to get better. I was largely stupid and ignorant and tried everything sometimes all at once. Some of it worked, some of it didn’t.
Like I think you said Welbutrin worked for you, but for me it causes psychosis. It’s not simple like you think it is. There’s like a million side effects from each med but doctors only look at the top or most common ones. There’s risk associated with everything.
It’s not like we live in a bubble or have a compromised immune system…

Where did I say it worked? It only worked to stop my nicotine addiction. I didn’t say everything causes psychosis, I really read that high dose ginseng or ashwagandha can cause psychosis.
Ya, I guess you did not say it worked. I wasn’t sure. I was going off memory.
But I took the recommened dose of ashwaghanda and it increased my ability to have fun by a lot, thus reducing the negative symptoms of ED.
I took large amounts of sodium benzoate to experiment on myself and it worked temporarily.
Since I don’t have bipolar or mania or even hypomania, I just have schizo-affective disorder – depressive type, I experiment on myself. I used to experience zero pleasure and not feel anything. Now I feel enough pleasure.
My biggest thing is executive functioning (planning and doing activities) and sustained motivation.

So Ashwaganha recommended dose didn’t cause you any positive symptoms? Im willing to try it even if I know its placebo…
I can’t take Ashwagandha, I take meds for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes:
