Medication for Schizoid-Avoidant Behaviour

Hey guys, what sort of medications have alleviated any SPD symptoms of yours? (Such as anhedonia).

I have somewhat recently identified as schizoid/avoidant behaviour, as well as pre-existing ADHD-PI which I know understand to be comorbid to negative symptoms such as anhedonia and apathy. I did not recognize these symptoms prior due to alexithymia. My inquiry pertains to an upcoming psychiatric appointment to address my ADHD and negative symptoms.

I have a strong interest in pharmacology and have safely experimented with many supplements and uncontrolled pharmaceuticals, only after much extensive research of course, as well as the three controlled prescription drugs: methylphenidate, dextroamphetamine, and quetiapine. Mind that none of these drugs were used intentionally for a recreational high, both stimulants were used as last attempt study aids in two isolated occasions, and the quetiapine to test if I experience any positive psychotic symptoms (through notice of any alleviated symptoms, please remember I do experience debilitating alexithymia). Accordingly I respond well to stimulants, particularly releasers such as dextroamphetamine, as I found reuptake inhibitors to be very erratic. Elevating one minute, the next dysphoric and agitating, which I perhaps link to a few studies that implicate possible polymorphisms in alleles that encode the dopamine transporters, although I could be like many others and respond poorly to methylphenidate. Regardless, dexedrine made me feel "normal" if I must be cliched. Apart from the huge emotional rebound I felt, I once again enjoyed my previous hobbies and interests, and had a much higher comparative percentile in visuospatial memory and visualization ability.

Not to delve further into jargon but later along the line I decided to import L-Deprenyl into use. Long story short it cured any depression and mildy relieved attention and anhedonic symptoms, but not to a satisfactory extent. I can fairly say at this point that dopaminergics are what I recieve most relief from, and contrastingly I experience worsened hedonic tone from dopamine antagonists.

With all I've previously stated, is there any likelyhood I will be able to persuade my psychiatrist towards an augmentation therapy of: low dose dexedrine as the base for dopamine release to mitigate anhedonia/inattention, memantine for tolerance prevention/neuroprotection/and additional D2 agonism (seeing as low D2 has most implications in S/A behaviour), and amisulpiride to selectively inhibit presynaptic D2/D3 autoreceptors and force upregulation on days off of dex? I have other ideas up in the air I'd like his input on, but this seems to me like a far more selective and suitable treatment as opposed to something with a more crude overall effect in relieving anhedonia like Wellbutrin.

i've never been on any real medication before, unfortunately. it might be best to ask a doctor about this kind of thing but...

i take valerian root for anxiety, and it helps. i haven't been diagnosed as avoidant (just schizoid), but i have a lot of avoidant traits and social anxiety. i've heard that st. john's wort works well too for anxiety. they're both vitamins, so you can get them over the counter.

i'm not sure at all about anhedonia.

and - DON'T LAUGH! - if you need to be social for a while, i suggest eating or drinking something that will make you really hyper. XD lmao... it really helps me to drink an energy drink or coffee or eat candy before i have to be social for a while. like on a long shift at my cashier job, a coffee will make me really perky and active and happy, so it's not hard at all for me to deal with people then. i'm much more social, i actually have energy.

honestly, being sugar hyper is about the only solution i've found for spd symptom relief. then again, my spd doesn't really bother me, only the social anxiety.

hopefully that might help some. so... valerian root and red bull? XD

vitamine x ofc

My behavior therapist first diagnosed me with ADHD, I was prescribed an dextroamphetamine, levo-amphetamine mix (adderall). I'm am also interested in pharmacology and I'm sure I would like the pure dextroamphetamine. Adderall effects on me are rather interesting, I like to think of myself as running on overdrive while under its effects. I am able to perform tasks I would typically find menial. My wpm greatly increase while reading(100 words or so) and I retain knowledge with high accuracy effortlessly. Physically I become dominant as well I'm faster and stronger. I become more social on adderall, but when I crash I'm rigidly more introverted.
I never took it on a daily basis because of significant side effects. I only have school to focus on as of now and although its a challenge; I'm currently without adderall. I'm too lazy to call my doc :p. I tend to think I could be close to a normal functioning member of society while adderall induced. Although its nice to think about I would rather be what I am for now.
