Sorry, I wasn't suggesting Solian wasn't messing with your memory, just reporting my own experience. I think it does slow me down slightly - my eyes seem to move more slowly and I feel a little drowsy sometimes, but Zyprexa was so much worse.
The benefits you're feeling from Solian are probably due to the dopamine boosting effect, so maybe you could look at substituting it with something else that boosts dopamine, such as Wellbutrin or Ritalin? I'd think they would be less likely to cause cognitive impairment. I don't know about the glycine, but hopefully something like that will work if your condition is mild. Not everyone that has experienced psychosis needs to be on antipsychotics for life, and there are other ways of treating Schizophrenia.
