Hello,
i need some help with my Schizo-Affective disorder.
i am currently in hospital and am on a regimen as follows:
700mg Serouqel
15mg Zyprexa
600mg N-acetylcysteine
750mg Metformin
250mg Lithium Orotate
2g Sarcosine
The lithium did curb my suicidal thoughts. Might it do even more so if i increase the dose? A doctor asked if we could do that.N-acetylcysteine harbored a great improvement for me when i took 1800 mg. I will certainly do that in the future again. Or even take 2400mg.
Metformin doesnt help alot with the weight gain i have. Is the dosage too low?
The doctor wants to try cymbalta after Effexor didnt show much improvement and after Zoloft showed improvement but made me restless.
Does anybody understand this whole glutamate business? I remember when i took Lamictal, i had no psychosis. And i remember N-acetylcysteine help me. Both are Glutamate/Nmda antagonists.But now i read that nmda agonists help Schizophrenia!? That doesnt make sense to me.
What is true? It is said that schizophrenia comes with glutamate hyperfunction, but glutamate is a nmda agonist and they are supposed to help against schizophrenia.
Also id like to know more about minocycline.
Can i combine nmda antagonists and agonists? Or is this b*llsh*t?
I know the brain is alot more complicated. But does someone know whats going on here?Advice greatly appreciated on ANYTHING i can do against negative symptoms, cognitive and depression WITHOUT triggering psychosis.
