What if min-101 works, and gets rid of your negative symptoms?

Would that actually be worse? You might still be cognitively impaired, but now have all these desires that maybe you couldn’t do much about. I feel like that sometimes, my hopes and dreams come back, but I’m unable to do anything about them. Would min-001 be like that feeling, but magnified I wonder?

It’s a good one, I would take it. It also improves memory, which is my biggest cognitive deficit.

Let’s hope it comes through.

But not too much hope though, we can’t keep waiting for meds to resolve all our issues.

The Company has submitted results from the core phase of the trial for peer-reviewed publication and presentations and plans to meet with regulatory authorities in the United States and Europe in preparation for Phase 3 testing of MIN-101, which is expected to begin in 2017.

Hopefully it has better success than iti-007…

That’s the risk of getting our hopes up, waiting for the perfect med to land on our laps. Sometimes we need to do a little work ourselves, and not depend on outside forces all the time. I’m sure there will be advances in the future, we just have to be patient.

Yes, I’m still in shock from the iti-007 result. I’ve learned my lesson. :grin:

I don’t have negative symptoms but I have positive ones. That is, if I don’t take my meds. I’m still not sure if I have cognitive symptoms, my cognition is not what it used to be but some of that is from inactivity and taking lamictal. Lamictal does a number on cognitive ability.

I would hang out a lot, pick up some girls and have a girlfriend. I would give hugs to a lot of people and do some voluntary job. I would study English, German, Italian and French. I would travel a lot (Germany, Danmark, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Italy, France, Greece, Portugal, Canada, USA, Chile, Peru, Argentine, Uruguay, etc). I would focus on my career (probably web design).

For me it might help to some extent but I’d still be left with the social deficits.

One thing that I don’t understand yet is that if MIN-101 is just for negative symptoms or is for both negative and positive symptoms.

It’s for both. It’s just one pill for all your needs in theory.

Cmon min-101. Hit the market already !!

I doubt this one will make it past ph III. Its basically Iti-007 without activity at D2 and Iti-007 did not have much efficacy for negative sx at any dose. This will probably have a meh effect at best.

When you read about it it is basically an antipsychotic without D2 activity, so the same mechanism of every atypical, if atypicals haven’t helped you with your negative sx up till now this is the same thing, it is not likely to.

I think atypicals cause the majority of negative symptoms. My lack of motivation and social apathy was not there last year before I started taking Latuda

Its hard to believe anything will get rid of negative symptoms

I’m very optmistic that MIN-101 will work. Maybe even ITI-007 works. It’s just a matter of time and scientific interest to our negative symptoms disappear completely.
