Have you tried DHEA? It's been paired a few times against in head-to-head comparisons, with similar benefit reported for negative symptoms.
Is your thinking better with it? Are you scoring higher in Lumosity.com games, perhaps? I did with DHEA, but had to stop, as it was causing me to clench my teeth, and I have a bad night guard I need to replace before I take it again.
I'm not sure if I have negative symptoms- it might just be a dependency of dexedrine, as they (avolition, anhedonia, low energy) all go away when I take dexedrine.
I'm going to take CDP Choline and glycine. Glycine's been discussed on medscape with great results by psychiatrists for negative symptoms, and my psychiatrist says it's good, but wants me to tell him before I take it...
CDP Choline was used with great success as an adjunct to galantamine in schizophrenia-- increased cognitive performance was seen, which is not seen in trials of galantamine alone for schizophrenia.

> I've been using pregnenolone 50mg for negative symptoms. It does help with energy and I sleep much better at night. Can't really tell if it helps with negative symptoms, but I also take 375mcg of B12 and a Centrum multivitamin with it in the afternoon, and the combination of the three has seen an improved mood, and like I said I sleep better, more restful sleep. I think I just hit on this combination by chance and it seems to work. A little caution that taking pregnenolone alone might cause some irritability, which is why I take the B12 and multivitamin with it. The irritability factor is cancelled out somewhat. At least, that's been my experience so far.
