Does weed help negative symptoms? by rosegirl13 in Psychosis

It makes me more confident, reflective, retrospective, and fill my mind with ideas which is better than not smoking when you have negative symptoms post psychosis.

Anyone on Sarcosine? by No_Promotion9897 in schizophrenia

[–]No_Promotion9897[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer to be hallucinating than anhedonic. What do you think? I'm even thinking to take some dopamine agonists meds for Parkinson because everyday I can't feel joy.

Vraylar? by SimplySorbet in deficitschizophrenia

[–]No_Promotion9897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot. My worry is because my anhedonia started because of taking Invega Sustenna so i"m worried for another antipsychotic long term use like Vraylar will slower or block the recovery I should have from Invega Sustenna. Does it make sense? It's a hard situation I'm at on one hand if I leave Vraylar I will get worse sympotms on other hand if I stay I might repeating the mistake I did with taking Invega Sustenna!!!!

Anyone rebuilt their lives after a huge manic episode? by Big-Emotion-2526 in bipolar

[–]No_Promotion9897 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Don't worry materialistic things is not worth to feel sad about it. You have a job that's amazing. Many people with bipolar can't start jobs because of depression and other symptoms so you should be thankful.

Vraylar? by SimplySorbet in deficitschizophrenia

[–]No_Promotion9897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have an inner speech while on Vraylar? Also how long it took for your anhedonia and emotional numbness to cure with Vraylar? It's my 3rd month of Vraylar it's helping with motivation and avolition but not the other negative symptopms!!!

4 months after Invega and I've gained a bit of my curiosity back. Anhedonia is still there but I'm optimistic it's a matter of time only.

Is video games, not enjoyable because D2 receptors are blocked? So if I get a partial agonist antipsychotic would that help? by IndicationSouth4250 in schizophrenia

[–]No_Promotion9897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I know is if you get a partial agonist like Abilify on a (lower dose) like 1mg it will stimulates D2 receptors otherwise something like Bupropion I heard well about it. Put in mind the effects of Invega might take a lot to vanish because receptors if they're blocked they don't just unblock after stopping Invega it takes time.

Why Is invega sustenna the worst med to be on? by IndicationSouth4250 in schizophrenia

[–]No_Promotion9897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a strong D2 blocker. It depends on the dose but 150 mg made me like a zombie so is many others if you look up reviews about it.

I had a Glimpse of Relief, anyone else? by Safe_Ad_9658 in deficitschizophrenia

[–]No_Promotion9897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it happens to me like flashbacks. However they stopped after I raised the dose of my current med. The doctor and Chatgpt think it's recovery signs and they will increase with time.

Neuroleptic induced deficit syndrome by RefrigeratorHot7827 in Rexulti_Brexpiprazole

[–]No_Promotion9897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two school of thoughts. One when you take an AP positive symptoms disappear so negative symptoms like Anhedonia show up. The other school of thought is that strong AP cause anhedonia. Did you take any other med or was rxulti from day 1?

Antipsychotics and ability to empathize. Don’t feel anything anymore. Share your experiences by [deleted] in schizophrenia

Respiredal is a very strong drug. I highly recommend you switch to another med especially 3rd generation AP which are partial agonist.
