Hey something else- I have found quite a few things that help for schizophrenia, they are just herbal treatments and not a harsh drug. One is saffron, it is just an exotic spice used in Iran, but I tried it and it helps me alot! Another herbal treatment is called Ashwagandha, that also helps, another is Rhodiola Rosea, that has an effect. Also large doses of B vitamins help and they are harmless, only vitamins. I take B6 and B12 every day and that has a strong effect. Also all of the other B vitamins also work, I take B1, B2, and B8 sometimes and they work too. There is also an experimental treatment for schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder called sarcosine, that helps me tremendously, it is nearly miraculous and no side effects, not a thing! Scientists are working on this right now and it is several years out from being available via prescription but it can be ordered on Amazon right now! Most doctors currently do not know about sarcosine. My psychiatrist is a professor in the psychiatry department at the local Penn State medical school and I told her about it and she said she had never heard of it, then she looked into it and said it looked promising!
