Can antipsychotic affect your ability to daydream

I read somewhere they affect part of your brain that imagines things. I’ve been on alot and never experienced a loss of imagination but was wondering if anyone here has experienced this side effect

oh it’s my experience that I’ve not had a daydream the last 20 years

I used to daydream a lot. Not so much anymore. I try to dwell on reality.

The typical AP’s are extremely unpleasant to me, and they completely destroy my ability to write. I hate them. I’m doing pretty well on Geodon and Seroquel. They get rid of my psychosis, and they allow me to write.

I think it does. I don’t dream since being on meds.

I’ve had the most vivid dreams I’ve ever dreamt while on a med change.

I don’t have the same capacity to lucid dream myself to sleep but I still wake up from having dreamed something.

I think the higher dose you go the worse it gets for not dreaming.
