my big thing is vitamins....Orthomolecular. its -lots of pills- , but its vitamins, so the overall cost is reasonable, I think. Orthomolecular was originally called 'mega-vitamin therapy for the Schizophrenias' (note the plural), until Linus Pauling came around and called it 'Orthomolecular psychiatry,' starting in the late 60s, I think.
i do it with an 'atypical' (abilify, in my case) and whatever else I need from the Rx end of things...right now, low/standard dose Prozac. It seems to make it easier for me to take a tranquilizer/antipsychotic and not get EPS, stiffness, depression from the drug, etc. so...maybe a lot of what it does is just reduce toxicity, from 'standard treatment' ? I have no idea. I think it helps, but my set of 'issues' still requires Rx treatment.
