Hi, I’m back again.
Some psychiatrists say I’m having SZ without positive symptoms, but severe negative symptoms. Others are en doubt if i’m having SZ or something else, so i’m going to be evaluated by a specialist soon.
Anyway I’m having something like depression, fatigue, lack of concentration and now I’m trying modafinil because sometimes it is used for treating negative symptoms. I have only taken it for three days, but feel less depressed and I have a bit more energy.
Sounds interesting, never tried that one in particular. Just milder drugs, supplements and nootropics. But maybe there is a right idea regarding negative symptoms, if it works it works. Would be cool to know down the line how it unfolds. Does it cause positive symptoms or is it just useful effect all in all, just curious I guess.
I will let you know, there is mixed data about treating negative symptoms with Modafinil, but the risk for psychosis should not be that bad. I have not noticed any sideeffects yet, not even anxiety. We really need something to treat negative symptoms.
Well, in not too distant future there could be multiple treatments for negative symptoms, we will see how it goes.
I have negatives from my meds too but I don’t want stimulants because I need the calming effect. It helps me manage my paranoia and anxiety of leaving the house
Modafinil worked for me, but it’s not allowed in the UK
