My emotions haven’t returned since risperidone miss extreme excitement and anxiety
I’m on 4.75mg risperidone and I still have emotions. I still get excited and get sad or emotional easily. The closest problem is lack of interest or pleasure in things, but that is getting a lot better now that I excersise an hour a day. Been on it 3 years and it’s been lousy, but getting better now.
Sarcosine and other supplements really help.

Risperdone and invega are notorious for causing emotional flatness. Never ever felt emotions on either. I started latuda recently and am waiting for the invega to completely get out of my system. I still have yet to feel emotions. But am hopefully that I will.

I’m on Risperdal Consta, Geodon and Seroquel and I have zero emotions. None. That’s a lot better than too much emotion, which is how I was before.

I’m on perphenazine and have very few emotions.
Many if I switch to low dose risperidone and abilify it will get better
At my appointment last year my stepdaughter said I was emotionally flat. The pdoc said that can happen with the medication.
Abilify and Invega both flattened my emotions, the latter to a point where I couldn’t cry.
Now I’m on Latuda and people keep telling me I seem more happy and animated.
AND I’m able to cry and laugh again.

I wonder if I lower to 2,mg risperidone if it will be better. Don’t want to risk restlessness from abilify.
of cours, i had no emotions on drugs, i think that emotions, fealings and imagenatiin are critical for psichotic episodes, so if you dont want to think wierd stuff and hear stuff, they erase your brain and walla! you are normal
when i got free from meds, i crie over somthing, real painfull cry, and than i cried from happiness that i can feel pain.
i truly dont know how do you bare it,
to sleep all the time, to be num
its hell. this is how hell looks
I have normal emotions. Don’t think the APs ever affected them much. Maybe just made me calmer.
I’m a lot less emotional, in a good way. My current meds are pretty good. I’ve had meds that totally wiped out all emotion and I didn’t feel like myself.
What meds are you currently on?

Do you have any symptoms off meds?
Saphris, Rexulti, Topamax and Cymbalta
When I tried lowering my olanzapine my emotions came back but after a while they turned bad.
My Haldol only lowered anger and paranoia. I had flat emotions before I began meds.
