Decades of research have investigated the possible treatment of the symptoms of schizophrenia with several of the B vitamins. When taken with acetazolamide, more usually prescribed for glaucoma or epilepsy this vitamin may improve a variety of symptoms of schizophrenia. This may be a new way to deal with this horrible illness.

Key Takeaways:

• B vitamins can significantly reduce symptoms of schizophrenia more than standard treatments alone.
• Treatment for schizophrenia currently is based around the administration of antipsychotic drugs.
• 80% of patients relapse within five years from treatments with antipsychotic drugs. Treatment through B vitamins may offer a good alternative.

“A review of worldwide studies has found that add-on treatment with high-dose b-vitamins — including B6, B8 and B12 — can significantly reduce symptoms of schizophrenia more than standard treatments alone.”
