Antipsychotics and motivation

My motivation has not been good for a long time but I often wonder whether antipsychotics have exacerbated that lack of motivation.

  • antipsychotics have improved my motivation
  • antipsychotics have had no effect on my motivation
  • antipsychotics have worsened my motivation

Seroquel used to help when I was having a lot of positive symptoms… it would numb me down and stop the racing of the wheel in my brain…

But after a while… the negative symptoms hit… and having the Seroquel on top of it shut me down pretty deep.

The right Ap’s work… Latuda seems stimulating… for me anyway… and the balance between getting the mind to stop racing and the body motivated to move seems to have helped me.

Before schizo my motivation was so high. It’s all in vain now

Haldol turned me into a giant lump of nothing. Geodon and Seroquel leave me about the way I was before I took med’s.
