A member asked:
Many cogent journals have recently reported minocycline as possibly effective in schizophrenia. what is your opinion regarding this novel approach?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Serendipity: From my reading, minocycline has been found empirically to help many schizophrenics with their negative symptoms -- the apathy and withdrawal that are often so painful for themselves and those who love them. Ask the treating psychiatrist whether this is worth a try.
