hi all,
(sorry for my english in advance)
I have been taking ritalin for a few years,for ADHD. and A few month ago went to a doctor mainly because i felt depression, anxiety,blunt effect. after a series of tests in the mental hospital he works in, they concoluded that I have a little bit of all the mental problems..and told me that i don't have excaly adhd and he thinks i have little bit of schizophrenia. actually he were not really sure:/
nevertheless he prescribed me Respirdone..told me that the only sideeffect will be sedetion. after a few days i noticed that i can't think ,rememeber, concentrate..and felt practicly like a retard and also felt depressed from it....so I told that to him, and he gave me serqual instead. serqual at first seemmed better but only after few days it also made me depressed and stuipd. both drugs made want to kill my self.
so i sugested solian instead..at very low doses (12.5-25) it was tolarable, it diminshed partly my anxiety, made me realy friendly, talkative, and really mentally stable. but my doctor said i need much more dose. So got up to 100 per day. It took me some time to get used the way of thinking with it, but i learnt how live with this high dose. But even though this solian is making me dumb.
a few month ago i started taking 5-HTP with the solian and ritalin (and zinc),it improved my cognitive abilitys abit , though still my memroy is really impaired. I also take creatine to boost my memory , and it also helps aa bit.
Soon i am going to try taking megadose of glycine, mybe it will help, and also i will try dhea - both showed to help schiphrenia cognitve and negative simptoms in clinical trials
Does anyone had experience this problem with solian? My short term memory and my short term visoul memory completly diminished using it. other antipsychotics f*ck*d my cognitive in other ways.
thanks you all for any help or sugestions
