You should also be advised taking high doses of fish oil everyday is being studied in predormal (early stage) schizophrenia, and it's being assessed to determine whether it helps to prevent sub-threshold psychosis like what you are experiencing from becoming schizophrenia, which usually will occur within 1-2 years.So take an antipsychotic and high doses of EPA fish oil (3x what it reccomended). Ideally, Invegga Sustenna.
I had sub-threshold psychosis, but took high doses of amphetamine, which looking back likely delayed my symptoms from appearing for 3 years, which is unheard of- it's usually 1-2 years... but if I took an antipsychotic, I would have likely never gotten it at all.

After a few life cycles, I finally had gotten them out, but I thought perhaps I had myasis because I had little bumps all over my body and I am terrified of bugs.

One... even though I have pined for something to "normalize" me without waiting weeks before, when I finally have it, I am concerned. What is the "real" me? Was I just born with hypodopaminergic genes, or what?
