Can medication treat negative symptoms of schizophrenia?

Hi there,

A bit about myself - I was diagnosed with first-episode psychosis in 2014 and I've been on antipsychotic medication ever since. Currently, I am still experiencing what my psychiatrist calls negative symptoms of schizophrenia, such as lack of emotions, thoughts and loss of memory (at times). When it comes to medication, I've become more and more skeptical over the past years as the medication I'm on doesn't seem to eradicate these negative symptoms away (but thankfully, it doesn't make it worse either, imo). But I don't want to give up hope - has anyone experienced such negative symptoms before, as I've mentioned, and DID medication help? And if so, what meds were you on? I know it's often a case-by-case basis, and this post of mine is pretty amateur, but I'm curious to find out if negative symptoms can be completely eradicated by medication.

Also, I have asked my psychiatrist about this, too - she says it could be my meds, but I have told her of my "illness timeline" - i.e I was experiencing these negative symptoms BEFORE taking my current meds...so yeah.

Thank you. I hope you have a lovely day!
