Health News - Hormone Could Ease Symptoms of Psychosis and Overeating

So this is really intersting this hormone called amylin which already exists in synthetic form as a diabetes treatment may block some sz symptoms. They were only using rats so they couldn't ask if they were hallucinating but used prepulse inhibition instead(startle response). Anyway it's involved in the food reward system so it has weight control properties and might be a good supplement for anyone on one of the obesity promoting APs....however it's still prescription and is apparently only used once you are already on insulin. Still this may apply to a subset of people with sz so I'm posting it here...
