From your experience,
Do you feel that,
Negative symptoms or depression improve or worsen or remain the same over time so far?
For me,
It slightly accumulated in intensity last time round. That was within a 1.5 year time span.
It’s a tough thing. My depression is big and my negatives are shite. I lived through both.
For the depression I take a boat load of effexor. 300mgs which is on the high side! For my negatives I’ve started exercising. It really does make a difference.
They both feed each other so it’s important to sort it all out!

I used to be really down and full of negatives.
I found a med that works great. I wish I had never spent those few years in a rut when I could have changed that.
It took three years and 6 med changes to get there, but I made it.
Medication makes a massive difference. Don’t settle for the wrong ones.
My negatives fluctuate same as the positives not necessarily at the same time.
That’s what I’ve been questioning lately. I’m on abilify what I like about it is that it has low anticholinergic properties unlike the other aps. And the problem with newer aps is I’m concerned they have not been used by many long term so scared about that.
I guess I may need to research on it all again n double ckeck if there’s some other ap I could try.
I wish you luck with it. My family say now I am on Amisulpride I am a completely different person.
It’s actually quite scary how much these drugs impact you.

Thankyou it’s nice to hear that you are feeling differently on amisulphride.
I really will consider a med change
But just gonna be very prudent about it like pros n cons
You can blame the illness for everything but some of us are just lazy without negatives or depression and nothing can change that, at least not from my knowledge

I need to talk to a pdoc about this because I am confused as well. I think the answers are not good.
I tell Phil I’m lazy, all the time, since it never used to be this way
if I have a really productive day, I’m quite proud of myself.
How can you tell some of us are lazy without negatives or depression.
