I been feeling unsatisfiably bored

I didn’t feel bored off meds…like for a decade i never felt bored. Lately ive been feeling it. Idk if its normal and the med is fixing something or if its cause my dopamine is being blocked and disinterest is making me bored. Anyone relate?

I think boring is good. Then you are somewhat sane!

You need a little boredom I’ve noticed. Too much leads to anhedonia (lack of pleasure from life).

You can have too much excitement as well, leading to psychosis.

Just gotta balance boredom out with excitement.

Very true! Your on to something there.

I feel very little pleasure from most things. It can be very frustrating.
Currently coming up with a plan with my pdoc and case manager to reduce meds. As we think that its partly med based and not so much the negative symptoms of sz.

Does the lack of pleasure come across as boredom? I think it does for me. It’s hard to tell the difference.

Ever since I started invega I’ve been bored all the time. I can’t think of things to do and once I do I don’t enjoy them that much. So I think this is a thing.

I get bored a lot on these Fuc-king meds
Usually when I’m really bored I’ll make a cup of coffee or take a nap

When I’m bored, I just watch youtube videos that I don’t enjoy. And then lately I’ve been scrolling this forum. But there are never topics that peak my interest (or rarely). I just want to see a post that says someone has found a cure to negative symptoms.
