Vitamin Pregnenolone - New Treatment for Schizophrenia - anyone trying it?

There is No miracle drug

Is is possible to talk with your doctor and try out a lower dose of Prenenolone - and see if it helps at a lower dose without any negative symptoms?

Is there a site online that will ship to canada?

Thank you for the info.

Everything is on a early state of research… However Pregnenlone the word I have trouble spelling, I swear but don’t burn me at the stake by it, stuff works, for me at 700mg. Researched off of livestrong.com.

Let us know how it goes for you.

How is pregnenolone working for everyone?
I figured out that it accumulates in your system so you need less and less every month. I went from 50 mg per day to 2-5 mg per day, more than 5 mg gives me a headache.
Also I learned that you do not want to take more than 10 mg long term and not every day either.
I do a micro scoop, 2 mg, every other day. I can’t learn or function without it.

I was taking pregnenolone for 2-3 weeks at 50 mg. I was getting chest pain and feeling overstimulated so I stopped it. I didn’t notice any improvement.

Pregnenolone might have reduced my derealization by 90-95%, but I don’t know because I took l theanine at the same time. If my derealization gets worse I’ll have to go back on it, despite the chest pain. I rather die than experience derealization again. Imagine everything looking like play station 1 or 2 graphics and thinking everything is an illusion, including space, because you cannot perceive anything real outside your head. I rather die with some sanity than live a miserable existence. I can’t wait for a cure 20-30 years down the line.

What medication are you on, that sounds bizzare.

Risperdal, cymbalta, and trazodone.

You definitely need to let your doc know that it’s not working out. Or maybe you’ll get lucky and l-theanine helps.

But having a heart attack isn’t a solution. Talking to your doc might be. I’d switch meds if that’s the way you feel.

I’ve just started pregnenolone yesterday. Will post here or maybe spawn a new thread, if it works for me.

No, only pregnenolone. I don’t think l-theanine is good for me, because I have no positive symptoms.

How did it go? Did it help?

I took Pregnenolone 50 mg/day for 8 weeks, then 100 mg/day for another week. Overall, I think my symptoms have improved slightly, but nowhere near enough.
I stopped taking it 4 days ago, to see if there’s a difference (aka worsening of my symptoms) but so far nothing is changed.

That’s not the definition of a vitamin. A vitamin is a nutrient that you have to ingest in order to survive. So iron, b12, D, copper, etc are vitamins. Your body makes pregnenolone so you do not need to get it from your food, and it is therefore not a vitamin. Most OTC supplements are not vitamins either because you don’t need them in order to survive.

I just took it about a half hour ago. I just tested it out reading. My reading comprehension was pretty good. It’s the most I’ve comprehended in a while. I will update in probably a week.
