my head is emptier because of the meds. I am less in a fog like I was it. but the bad side is that I have only negative emotions now… its kinda of hyperealistic view that I have now… I need a sedation from the meds and I dont have it. will it come? did you felt like this- hyperreal? my moms keeps talking to me to activate myself, but sometimes I am paralyzed by fear that’s all…
is it normal to dont feel anything on meds? its been 4 months that I am on them… I would like even feeling vertigos in order to achieve some relief… how was it for you with your ap? did you felt some sedation at the beginning or it took time?
one pdoc of mine was saying that those who doesn’t feel anything on meds are in a worse shape…
yeah a lot of people say meds make them feel like that. what meds are you on
Zyprexa 7,5mg and Depakote. but I dont think its normal to dont feel anything on them… I just went out of bed with them but in my head, I still suffer the same way… they are like candys for me, I am not sure it should be like this…
ive heard zyprexa is usually really sedating
yeah but not for me. maybe I am really too sick still… I dont feel any sedation. its even the opposite- quite real…
why I dont feel anything on my meds? I wanna die… I cant live like that anymore. nothing works on me… I am so tensed now that I amparalyzed by fear in my bed… I just wanna die but I want to be happy in fact, that’s all…
is it normal to feel nothing on meds? I am not sure if its normal… for you all, the meds seem work… I cant activate myself as my mom says no… I cant live with all these anguishes anymore, I cant even answer the phone sometimes by fear… I am so fuckingly alone… its like this since 20 years, its not a life pls…
please, please, tell me that I should feel something on my meds but its too soon… you agree that its not normal to feel nothing on them isn’t it?
I am not even sure being schizophrenic. I am just too anguished, negative and over thinking… I have a mental illness but I am saying tomyself that I should feel something on Zyprexa. no sedation here, nothing… for the moment, its just a candy for me 
maybe ur misdiagnose… or they gave u the wrong type of medication.
when u say paralyzed by fear… what is it that ur afraid of? perhaps u should try psychotherapy… so they can diagnose u with the right personality disorder or other mental disorder if u have one.
i am anguished for my future. nothing changed, I am ill since child I think and nothing changed for 7 years with psychiatry… I dont believe in psychotherapy anymore, ive done it in the past…
@Anna1
I would say try a new med. 4 months is long enough for you to have had some effect from it.
I tried them all mjgh,really… do you think its normal to feel nothing on an ap? even not a sedation?
I know that feeling! It’s terrible! I was so upset when I felt it the first time. Everything seems so Depressing suddenly, despair sets in, and you realize the weight of things that are inevitable and emotions are dampened out like you are experiencing a bad high or had your bell rung. You can’t forget to ground yourself and get back in touch with your emotions, because your feelings are what ground you. I have to remind myself of that a lot when I am having Depression especially.
helpmels, yeah… 
maybe its the path to recovery still, what can I know… I was living a lot in my head without meds, I was derealizated plus having obsessive thoughts. so Zyprexa and my Depakote kind of empty my head. but there is still no good emotion behind that… maybe it will come. I cant stop my meds, I ll get worse…

that has been my problem - docs are trying to figure out what meds they can put me on because I gone through all the ones I can try. Feeling nothing is a side effect of many ap’s but usually some sedation. Have you talked to your doc about it yet?
in fact its worse. I feel fear and anger and envy sometimes a loot… I wish I couldn’t feel anything, it would be a good base for me to activate myself cause my fear and my anger make me wanna sit on my coach only in front of my laptop…
@Anna1 When you feel angry say this, " I did this to myself, no one but me should take responsibility, I made this". Even if you don’t believe it whole heartedly say it. Don’t be a victim of circumstance.

I wanna punch people or walls when I am like this… I am angry right now, yes… I cant think in those moments mindjam… were you at this point like me? why my antipsychotic doesn’t sedate me? its strange or no - we react differently on them isn’t it? in fact, Zyprexa gives me energy instead of taking it… but in my illness, I am on the both sides. on one side, I cant go out of bed. and on the other side- I am not calm either…
I almost never cry anymore. I am in a state of numbness. But I did just read a book called “The Prisoners of Breendonk” about a German Nazi prison in Belgium during the German Nazi occupation of Belgium. When I read about one of the survivors of the camp who committed suicide in 1978, I cried. My eyes welled up with tears. I am afraid of anti-Semitism and I hate Nazism and Fascism. I read books that make me feel and remember. I also use Diazepam for sedation. If you are anxious try to get benzos.
