Hello everyone. Have any of you heard of medicine for the negative symptoms? Mainly lack of motivation and adhedonia. Are any of you on medicine for those things and did it help?

I would recommend a dopamine supplement, but it can affect people in different ways.
Med wise: I recommend Wellbutrin. It’s stimulating and is a great way to wake up. It can also help with negatives.

The best meds for negative symptoms are
Abilify,Vraylar and Rexulti.
I’m on abilify and still have negative symptoms but maybe they’d be worse if I was on something else.
There are new meds that might be approved that treat negative symptoms in the next few years. These are
Min-101
Iti-007

Sarcosine is the only med/supplement that is specially designed to help with negatives, it has helped me alot with mine. It is an experimental drug not available from a psychiatrist but you can order it online. I take a product called ProFrontal (sarcosine + N-Acetyl-Cystine). You can order it online from www.profrontal.com .

You would need to try different supplements like those in the vitamins section here in this site. Some people like Sarcosine and some like B-complex and NAC. NAC is an antioxidants that anyone can take it for general health. Nicotine chewing gum or patch is also ok for some people. Don’t forget Omega 3, It is very good for any brain disorders.

A small dose of olanzapine (zyprexa) alongside my amisulpride does wonders for me. even 2,5mg makes a big difference. Without even that small dose I can go all dead and depressed and lie on the floor and stare into space.
