It seems that negative symptoms are untreatable

So I dropped my Amisulpride after 3 weeks.

In my case it seems that no meds touches my neg. Symptoms.

I’m not moody anymore thanks to a Seroquel XR 300 mg pill. And my psychosis is gone thanks to my injection.

The rest of my illness I must live with.

I started exercising 8 month ago I don’t enjoy that and still feel weak. No gains to my condition from the exercise.

I find that exercise only helps me if I make it gentle and consistent but we are all different.

congratulations that you could drop the amisulpride.

For exercise, the best way to do it long term is to find something you enjoy

It could be dance, doing aerobics, bike, yoga,

Try changing your diet to a Mediterranean diet, try keeping yourself engaged with anything and try taking supplements such as L-theanine, Omega-3 oils with high EPA content and drink green tea during the morning and afternoon.

Maybe check your vitamin levels in your blood.

Keto/lo carb is the only thing to touch them but bed it in. You do 6 months on meds because it takes a while….Exercise is great because keto you burn fat and it’s so good. Not for everyone perhaps but it’s the only thing after 20 years to bite into negatives for me and have me back to a more normal level of function!

My negatives are better than ever

Yeah Amisulpride is meant to be good for negatives. The BNF even prescribes it for such. For me in my time, it helped to some degree.

Sodium benzoate and/or Sarcosine may help a bit, not miraculous or anything. There are some limited studies on those, but it is random if they work.

Some supplements might help. Check out nootropics and maybe try a few.

I am taking certain nootropics , but be careful with those since they might take up certain essential nutrients from your brain and body for their processes.
