I've always had a pretty mild case however the negative symptoms really affect me. I moved to Vietnam one year ago and have a wife and newborn son. I am the happiest I have ever been in my life. I just read that prognosis for schizophrenia is more hopeful if you live in a developing country. I had to switch meds because my old med abilify was not available here. I was prescribed Solian (made in France, I don't think it's available in the states.) I tend to be reclusive and withdraw socially. I never go up to people or start conversations. I alway let others approach me first. I live my life in a spirit of faith.

" My pdoc gave me a print out about a supplement for Schizophrenia & Bipolar disorder call N Acetyl Cysteine that helps with depression and negative symptoms. I am not sure you can get it where you are but I order mine online. I always deal with low level depression and I avoid people and am withdrawn and stay at home most of the time. I try not to be though when I am actually out. "

" ive expirianced positive symptoms(hallucination,dis-organized thinking)to to what seems like low level positive symptoms to negative symptoms of depression and social withdrawl and anxiety
amalzahir? i was reading about nutrition and wondering if you knew if N Acetyl cysteine was the same thing? as cysteine (the amino acid)or if you knew what the difference was?? this area of nutrition seems to make alot of sense as far as correcting an underlying imbalance instead of just controlling the symptoms,its new to me i feel hope im trying to get a nutritionist cause i know i definately cant understand all this on my own as far as what supplements to take what amounts exc exc or if supplementation is appropriate for me
i was wondering ,because it may be my next step,did you need to have tests done?? "
