there are a lot of things that can induce, trigger, or bring out schizophrenia I think. I was on anti-depressants for years and they made my schizophrenia worse but almost indistinguishable because i was labeled schizoaffective. My first label prior to drug use was paranoid schizophrenia. I got off the antidepressants and xanax and started smoking weed regularly. It seemed to get rid of the voices and hallucinations. Read somewhere that medical marijuana can re-wire and regulate the neuronal transmission of dopamine. so thats why I started smoking spec. to cure the schizophrenia…
I think I fooled myself though. It may have helped a tiny bit but only when done regularly like taking a medication. Once i stopped I am too sensitive now, and If I smoke it makes my muscles ache and I feel dysphoric I start giggling and am more niave or prone to believing what people tell me.
I used to smoke weed and watch talk shows all the time in like 2014-2015 it was really unhealthy…
