Like, getting back in shape and healthy just makes me feel 100% better. Taking a multivitamin and a vitamin c has me feeling like my old self, along with psych meds ofc.

I too favour vitamins and other supplements. It makes a positive difference how I feel. Antipsychotics deplete many nutritions including vitamins, but also certain amino acids and acetylcholine.

That’s great! Glad to hear it. I think general health can do so much for SZ especially if your severely deficient in say iron or eating zero vegetables and getting no vitamin c etc no sunlight no vitamin d

P6 Testosterone. Cost 150$ but helps very well. Lasts 3 months 2 weeks on 2 2 weeks off repeat
It’s not vitamin. And does that thing even work? Did you check before and after levels?
Vitamin therapy has been proven to be bunk for schizophrenia and related disorders. Yes. It’s not bad if you’ve a poor diet but honestly I take a multivitamin simply because I have a bland diet. It doesn’t replace medication therapy and it certainly doesn’t cure anything related.

It helps . It’s not a vitamin, and it’s not a steroid like some people say testosterone is. It gradually builds your strength , immune system, has ingredients to relieve stress and anxiety as well as to help you sleep after a days work , and burn fat to counteract weight gain from psych meds. I also use to take mens one a day pro edge vitamin which is really good for you too.
Did a doctor tell you to take testosterone? If not, you could be doing more harm than good.
And most vitamins don’t do more than create expensive pee. Some do help, like vitamin d, because it’s in liquid and absorbed by the body better.
Multivitamins in liquid for ate much better than tablets.
You likely are experiencing euphoria from the testosterone and placebo effect from the vitamin.
Well I just take the healthiest testosterone supplement from the vitamin store on and off which typically doesn’t have many side effects. Just with anything, there are some side effects so I take them in moderation just like psych meds. Never take any of the injections they give at doctors those are horrible for you from reports and never even tried them. One day mens pro edge vitamin or testosterone, does tend to help my mental illness more then morning meds , and curb the weight gain from evening meds. Also testosterone doesn’t produce euphoria just energy.
“Another worry is that topping-up testosterone could make men more aggressive. But, research suggests high testosterone levels, in fact, have the opposite effect, producing feelings of euphoria rather than belligerence.”
Testosterone has many side effects and should not be taken unless under a doctor’s care.
But you said supplement. So you are NOT taking testosterone itself, but a booster?

Yes just a booster. Also the medication overloads have made me aggressive more times then simple testosterone boosters. You have to find a balance and take each supplement and medication in moderation. And like I said I would never take the injection doctor perscribed testosterone that’s the worse .

I’ve had medication make me agressive. Topamax was the worst.
Welcome back @RecoveringMoon22 !
I take supplements too and I agree that they help me feel better physically. Maybe mentally too.

I have found fish oil capsules helpful. Take two after dinner. Feel calmer after 30 minutes or so. Sleep seems to be improved as well.
