So y’all I told my pdoc I think I’m still having negative symptoms and he said that it’s “normal” idk how to feel about that lol. He also told me the last time that I’d be on my haldol shot for life which I don’t believe. But I mean eh… hell whatever right?

Yeah those negative symptoms are killer. Make me want to just lay around.

I laid around a lot when I was depressed. Now I just watch tv, do social media, listen to music… still don’t really do anything productive.

Same, just post on forums all day and listen to music. Takes abit of motivation for me to start lifting my weights/workout or do anything.
I’m holding out for some miracle drug that’ll make me normal again.
I have absolutely no motivation to work out but I need some lol. & I’m just waiting to turn 24 so I can go back to school again.
Is Haldol the only med that works for you?
Its the only thing I’ve ever been on outside of whatever I was on when I was hospitalized which was so much I don’t even remember. & I’m on ativan for anxiety but I really just use it for sleep.

I wonder if some of your negatives are from the Haldol being so sedating for most people. Can you ask to try a less sedating AP?
It’s not really sedating for me. The only effects I have from it is breast enlargement and irregular menstral cycle
Change a doctor and try other meds!

I’m on clozapine and my periods only last for like 2 days a month. I thought it was bc I’m older but idk.

Why’d you say that if you don’t mind me asking?
Because you are with doctor who says:
He didn’t actually say that but he was implying it. Lol I know I won’t be on it for life bc I believe my dad’s insurance stops carrying me once I turn 26
