I think I'm in my late stage of recovery.. I still have psychotic episodes some hours daily. I notice that in my right front brain, prefontal cortex (where thoughts are created) needs a little bit help. Ever since of having schizophrenia I notice in that part of my brain "my brainwaves(?)" are the weakest.

Anyone a recommendation that improves the functions of the prefrontal cortex?

Btw. I'm in day 1 of Minocycline, may be placebo effect but that part of my brain already feels "lighter".

Hmm cant help you with that. Afaik NAC increases mglu1 which in turn increases endocannabinoids.
If you are sensitive to cannabis or sulbutiamin(because kainate also increases endocanabinoids) then should or could this be the reason.

Its just a tough, since i dont know it

 

I noticed another weird supplement reaction, days when I take Fish Oil my symptoms increase (thought disorders, paranoia), when I don't take it, the following day I improve again (like 90-100% stable again).

 

Never thought Fish Oil could be bad for anyone (especially for schizo symptoms), any idea why Flex? 

 

 

btw. for whom is interested, can't give an update about Minocycline yet. Seems to do something, what exactly I'll find out when I up the dose from 50mg to 100-200mg.

Memory relies on astrocytes, the brain's lesser known cells

 

The supportive cells are vital in cognitive function

 

When you're expecting something -- like the meal you've ordered at a restaurant -- or when something captures your interest, unique electrical rhythms sweep through your brain. These waves are called gamma oscillations and they reflect a symphony of cells -- both excitatory and inhibitory -- playing together in an orchestrated way. Though their role has been debated, gamma waves have been associated with higher-level brain function, and disturbances in the patterns have been tied to schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, autism, epilepsy and other disorders.

I might have been on to something all along and this may explain why I benefit so much from Clonazepam.
