Negative symptoms of schizophrenia

Hello all. Is anyone here on amisulpride for negative symptoms? I just started 50 mg amisulpride. My main negative symptoms are avolition and alogia and they are quite severe.

Hi @Lolita welcome to the forum.

Hi there, welcome. Sorry you are struggling with those symptoms.

I do not suffer from alogia, but avolition is a main symptom for me now (maybe the main symptom). It is mixed with low energy because of some physical trouble, so I don’t really know what is what. @everhopeful just posted research about negatives. I’m researching how to treat them…should I find something that works for me, I will let you know. I’m not on meds for it…I am curious whether amisulpride works.

I am very scared of all pharmaceuticals, because I tend to respond badly to them. But low dose amisulpride is something that does interest me. Also because avolition disables me quite a bit, practically and socially and in my care for my kid.

I really hope it works for you, and am interested to hear if it does.

Welcome to the forum! Glad you found us

I don’t take that, but I’m interested in trying it.

A few tips on things that confuse newbies:

Cake day is the anniversary date of when you joined.

The 1515 or other numbers at the end of peoples posts are because there’s a 15 character minimum to post. So people put 15s after until they get to the minimum characters to post.

To tag someone, put the @ followed by the name.

Here are the moderators if you need them:

@daydreamer but before the medication did you have avolition and alogia ? Did they disappear completely after amisulpride?

I was on a different med before called rispiredone and i was very blunted and it caused me to be slow with avolition. i was quiter as well bc my mind was wiped most of the time.

What i have are primary negative symptoms and not negative symptoms caused by medication. Lets hope it works :slight_smile: . But maybe I have to try with a higher dose than 50mg

sounds like side effects.
