Yes, im not doing that Ketamine my pdoc sais NO! it will make me worse, the only thing that really got me into a remission for a while is minocycline after 3 full days! but nasty dangerous side effects from the mino.
I tried Glycine powder too with bad side effects too and didnt help at all had to quit that

Simvastatine? worth a shot or not?
Simvistatin is cholestrol medication. I take because my AP (seroquel,) raises my cholestrol. It doesn’t help with anything else.

What dose?
Sounds promising. Some people are probably going to respond and others not though, like anything else.
The 6 RCTs included in the analysis represented 339 participants (169 in treatment group versus 170 in placebo group). A test for overall effect demonstrated that the PANSS positive scale and negative scale significantly reduced in participants receiving compliant with statins. Our meta-analyses first clarified that adjunctive therapy with statins could improve psychiatric symptoms, either negative symptoms or positive symptoms.

there are no where exact dosages to be found to take?
You need your doctor for this. It did say “high dose” and with antipsychotics of “high P-gp affinity.”
Also it indicated that improvement came over long term use, not just a few weeks.
This one says 40 mg.

What Does that mean, im on Saphris 15 mg right now… im having some symptoms for a week now the doctor let me up my dosage I hope it goes away
I don’t know - presumably your doctor will know.
Googling it, the chemistry is over my head. But it looks like quetiapine and risperidone have a high affinity. I did not see saphris, but that doesn’t mean the data isn’t available, I just couldn’t say with a quick google search.
