They all are said to reduce positive symptoms
L-theanine and Lions Mane, no. Tried that. Don’t know about CBD – I won’t touch it in case I get some with THC content. Also, we can’t afford the clinically effective dose of CBD needed for SZ and I say that with both my wife and I being working professionals.

You can trip sack on cbd if you take it in high enough doses. Just be aware of that.

Dubious. This sounds like herbal remedies.
Sticking to my APs.

Broad spectrum cbd oil doesn’t contain thc, you won’t get high if you use that
I don’t see why your dubious when these have all been shown to reduce positive symptoms
Supplements are much weaker vs meds. I highly doubt you can replace them and at high doses supplements too can have nasty side effects.

Aren’t you the poster that asked if Lions Mane Amolyban 3399 could replace antipsychotics? I think you are looking for a magic bullet that doesn’t exist. Try asking your pdoc this question. I’m betting they will say no. No one here can tell you if your symptoms are mild enough to be able to get by with supplements that are likely much less effective than AP’s. We dont know the extent of your disorder. But in all likelihood, the answer is no.

I have used this for anxiety - i need to puff this every 30 minutes. It’s so short acting.
I broke out of the matrix on edibles from a strain that was .05% thc. CBD in high doses WILL make you trip.
yes and as I have said there is the option of broad spectrum cbd oil which contains no thc therefore you won’t have to worry about getting high or tripping if you use cbd this way
Allegedly. Supplements aren’t properly regulated so people don’t always get what they pay for. Might have THC. Might have pesticide.

I doubt it. i tried like 10 droppers of cbd and it didnt do anything. It has 0.3mg of thc per 10mg cbd i think.
I think maybe it works for some? Placebo maybe?
I tried thc drops though and i went to another planet lol. I wouldnt do that again lol
It would send me straight to mental hospital or even jail. Thats how it was for me last time I tried THC weed.

Dude yeah dont ever do it. Huge mistake for me. My computer looked like an xray photo and everything was delayed by 5 seconds or something. I was actually pretty screwy for a few days.
I cracked some ribs and i couldnt get any tylenol 3s at the time cuz covid peeps were clogging up the hospitals and clinics in 2020. So I thought hey ill try weed for pain lol. I think thays when it was. Either that or i was just being dumb 
Nope not doing that again

For me its dangerous for others and for me because whenever I use THC I become even more aggressive than off meds. Last time I smoked THC my parents called the cops and told them I am violent eventhough I was on meds, cops brought me to mental hospital and they stayed with me and the psychiatrist until I took extra meds. Then they let me go after I calmed down.
On that note i dont think cbd works as an anti psychotic or even at all.
I tried L theanine in various doses for anxiety and it didnt do much.
I tried a supplement of lions mane but not when i was psychotic so i have no idea if it did anything beneficial.
The only supplement i take is a sleep aid one, and 5htp which i think helps with sleep too. Could be wishful thinking though.
Sarcosine helps me be more functional for task related things albeit it is transient and i need to re dose it after a few hours.
Yes im very disillusioned with the supplement industry.

I punched holes in my house walls and kicked doors and was pushing my family physically as they tried to calm me down. It was crazy.
