there are other remedies (not antipsychotic drugs) to treat the positive symptoms of schizophrenia? please i need help …
A overall healthy lifestyle and lots of excercise really does help.
I went through a pretty bad breakdown last winter because I stayed inside the whole time only going out to take the garbage out.
I would lift weights and afterwards feel so much better.

Some people have done well with hypnotherapy
Some have done well with ECT
Some have done well with Therapy and supplements.
Personally I know I need my meds… It’s just what my head has decided.
I think one thing all these people had in common was a good support system.

Crappy as the sfx sometimes are, the Da receptor site blockers we call “anti-psychotics” are still the best line of defense against complete psychosis at this time.
The really good, board-certified psychopharmacologists, specialized physicians’ assistants and nurse practitioners who get it that “recommended dose levels” are just that – recommended and not cast in bronze – will work with you to find a dose level that gets the job done as well as possible without grinding you down.
I am living testimony that this can be done, and there are others posting here who are, as well.

For me actually a great focus on putting in 10 servings of fruits and vegs a day can mean the difference between just getting by, and thriving. I make a baby spinach and fruit, blueberry and blackberry. My IQ improves and mixed with oats I have the energy to get out and run. Of course I am no distance or endurance runner, I tend to only run and walk maybe 20 min a day. And that is all it takes to get those hormones in circulation and have a greater sense of well being, for the whole day.
