Lisdexamfetamine is being tested by its marketer on people with schizophrenia. Preliminary findings have already been collected. Source.
The subject pool actually includes only people with predominantly negative symptoms of schizophrenia (epidemiological studies say this is 20-30% of all schizophrenics).
I hate it when the government website doesn't include references for a trial. This is the first I hear of a serious effort to market amphetamine for schizophrenia. Needless to say,
Thanks.

- I'd be very interested in a list of references on this, if anyone has access to one.
- Any accounts by people diagnosed with schizophrenia who have taken amphetamine chronically to help them with their negative symptoms would also be interesting.
Thanks.
