Though i take a daily dose of antipsychotic medication, the balance between a tolerable dose in terms of side effects and the symptoms i still deal with every day is still a bit off.
On any given day I am relativly sane…but Ill possibly be struck with sudden feelings of paranoia… Strange, dark.. Depressing thoughts, and the occasional hallucination or strange delusional moment… If i had a higher dose of my antipsychotic it might help.. But at higher doses i would be seepier, and the muscles in my jaw would lock up, its not worth it..
As far as complimentary medicine goes, I have been very impressed with the results ive had using 3 grams of nicotinic acid to get less freaky vibes in the day… The hot flush side effect is rather unsettling at first, but ive been getting used to it. It becomes kind of fun to ‘charge up’ to start the dag with more energy.. And compared to some of the things other meds have done to me its nothing…
I read an amazing book called ‘healing schizophrenia where the benifits of vitamin B3 as a teatment for schizophrenic disorders were very well documented.
So for now im still on my matenince dose of my antipsychotic ‘solian’ (amisulpride).. 200mg a day, complemented by 12 tablets of B3 taken in 3 doses.
Only change i forsee is to replace the solian with something ive been researching called Serdolect, or dropping the ‘meds’ alltogether and just trying exercise, fish oil, good food, and the nicotinic acid (B3) which honestly seems to help more than any med Ive ever been put on.
Why the effecf of the most natural ‘medicine’ ive managed to find ends up resembling roger ramjets ‘proton pill’ is beyond me.
