i read that positive symptoms wire the brain wrongly, one pdoc told me this too. When meds fix the positive symptoms negative symptoms can appear as the brain is trying to rewire itself in a healthy way so do meds help with negative symptoms? Also I read in studies online positive symptoms make negative symptoms worse and APs help with that.

i have to admit my negative symptoms got better with time since I got dxd in 2011 but they still suck

Yes, they suck big time.
I wish my negatives would go away.
I don’t think there’s much to do when it comes to negatives. I also read the same things you mention.

Yes, I couldn’t keep my head up when eating dinner. All I could do was sleep and rest. I couldn’t sit or socialize at all. I was in my own world of torment.
I have improved tremendously. Sadly negatives took more time to recover from than positives.

Same for me, I used to sleep all day, almost never talked and I would only respond with minimal words when asked. I could barely keep my head up.

I’ve been sick for ten years, soon to be eleven years. The years from when I got sick feels like they were gone in a blink. I can’t remember anything from I was prodromal, up to the last two years of my life. All I have done is isolate and sleep.
How disabled are you from negs? Do you do anything?

I read somewhere that you have to be careful with taking hyperzine everyday. I don’t remember why exactly?
I have a bottle. I tried it for one day but didn’t notice anything from using it. Perhaps vraylar is blocking it somehow?

It has a long half life maybe take it every other day, I take 800mcg daily. I don’t think the meds block its effects

My memory is bad. I also bought choline but didn’t notice any improvement. I’ll start taking hyperzine and choline for a week to see if I get better.

Makes sense, it sure is a complicated illness. I feel sorry for everyone who has bad negatives, because i know how disabling it is.
Mine is somewhat under control, but i still have days where i spent both night and day in bed bc my body just cannot function. Not mentally, and not physically.
