WebMd reports on a study done on Panax Ginseng that showed improvement of “negative symptoms” of schizophrenia.
I often think that negative symptoms are caused by the neuroleptics. In any case, this may be of help to someone.
It’s refreshing that a site that is so heavily supportive of Big Pharma is writing about alternative treatments.

my son takes zyprexa, propranolol, xanax and recently started paxil. He has a really hard time with the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Is ginsing ok to take with these meds? He always wanted to take ginsing and did when he was younger. He said it helped.
Mary,
I’m sorry I don’t know enough about using ginseng in with schizophrenia…I put the article there just for information.
I suggest you do additional research and/or ask your son’s psychiatrist if he feels it would be safe.
