Thank you i appreciate it 
I found that perseverance is the only thing that has helped. Caffeine can help too. That’s about it for me. I study at university at the moment and it seems to do the trick for the most part (so it is possible)

That’s interesting. I drank powerade once and it helped me for about 2 minutes but never again

I don’t have any great suggestions except exercise and a little caffeine
Hopefully someone can help you more than I can

I find stimulants help, like caffeine and nicotine.
U could try Wellbutrin.
Ask your pdoc.

I see people recommend Wellbutrin all the time on this forum? But Wellbutrin can cause psychosis, I would stay away.
Have you considered abilify or vraylar?
My doctor put me on Risperdal

I’ve had serequol, abilify, zeldox, zyprexa (working now). And solian….its hit and miss but if you have a professor to check might make the findings a bit quicker!

My worst cognitive symptom is my memory, I keep forgetting everything, and I mean everything. I have reminders for myself on my cellphone. And I keep a journal to scribble everything down, mostly my symptoms, and I post sticky notes around the house for myself to remind me what I was planning to cook or to remember to pick up my daughter from school.
I think isolation can lead to cognitive symptoms too. I am isolated and I think that I have some cognitive symptoms.
Welcome,
I also had an increase in psychosis with Wellbutrin but everyone is different. Isolation definitely has a detrimental effect. Without coffee and nicotine (which I would like to get away from but logically does help), I would not be coherent.
My pdoc put me on wellbutrin but it didn’t do anything for me

Even with an increase in dosage ?
It’s a psychostimulant, it’s pretty powerful 
Truthfully it’s the only antidepressants that helped me the rest caused me to go insane or give me massive panic attacks
Antidepressant induced mania and psychosis are a major problem from my experience

Interesting for me personally on prozac I felt high as a kite and didn’t know I had schizoaffective disorder bipolar type it made me impulsive and I was acting bizarre
Studies seem to say different things every time there are soooo many contradictory studies one says one thing another one says another

Definitely for me- executive functioning. Especially when it comes to organising and planning. I don’t do well when it comes to multistep tasks and prioritising. Sense of direction has been another one. Although it hasn’t affected in recent years due to mobility issues.
You get the best of me here. That’s a very different me from the one that needs quite a lot of support to maintain an acceptable level of independent living.
