Last week I felt content and almost happy when I saw the sun rise several mornings. I had several occations of feeling content during the week. Not happy or joyful, but content. I hope the anhedonia chains are about to be broken. I want to be free again. It’s been so many years in the gray zone. Not dark, not light. Just dull.

Was this because of a med change or did it just happen?
It just happened. Still on same meds and same dose as 4 years ago.

Which meds are you on?
I still have anhedonia.
Abilify 25 mg and Seroquel 200 mg. I’ve been on this dose for the last 4 years. I never thought it would happen. I’ve had anhedonia since 2010. 7 long years. Long dull years. But I am afraid to hope too much yet. But I felt it. The beauty of sunrise.

I want to share it with you. This is just before sunrise. I felt a small jolt of excitement in this picture. Sun is coming up over the horizon.

Is anhedonia a symptom of schizophrenia or a antipsychotic side effect. I just watched on Wikipedia what this word means and it describes what I’m feeling.

Anhedonia can be either a symptom of schizophrenia (negative symptom) , or in some cases a side effect of antipsychotic medication…sometime even a side effect of antidepressants (ssri, snri)
