Why did the negative symptoms do this, sure it wasn’t the drugs? They cause a lot of problems

You really should switch meds.

You can blame the meds for the weight gain

The only drug I did was weed and that doesnt make you ugly and have all these problems.
I stopped weed 2 years ago.
I think a med switch might help. What aps have you tried already?

Maybe see if you can try Ziprasidone or Clozapine? I was also on a med called clupixol before.

Also there’s another med called Paliperidone. It’s the metabolite of risperidone. Very similar, but it could make a difference. Idk if Paliperidone comes in tablets though. Only ever seen the depot.

There is no meds for negative symptoms. I am willing to try Vraylar but its not available here. My Dr refuses to change my meds, I told him many times. Him and my parents say that I am the best now they have seen since having psychosis on Risperdal 4mg. I am still not happy.
Sounds like you could do with some ass kicking stimulants at the beginning of each day
Doctors should be prescribing coffee and cigarettes to people with sz.
Instead in the mental hospital they fill the jars with decaf as they’re so ■■■■scared with what I sz person can do with a will driven by these chemicals

Oh, I thought your negatives were from the meds, not from the illness.
I think scientists are researching psychedelics and how they can rewire the brain. I think ptsd patients were given shrooms in a trial. There is hope.

IDK, my pdoc and everybody here are very serious about not taking hallucinogens (if you suffer from sz). I wish I could take those drugs again…
I don’t mean recreationally. Only if scientists find a way to create new drugs to cure sz or depression.

This is horrible. MDMA breaks down the blood-brain barrier. Please don’t suggest recreational drugs to “fix” mental illness.

Read the above reply ^^
There aren’t any scientists here who are going to facilitate that.
More likely to be some derpsteins who think “hey, MDMA fixes schizophrenia! I’m going to do all of that.”
