Is there a medication that doesn't "block" emotions as much?

I’m currently on 5mg zyprexa and 1mg riserpdal. And I find that they take away my emotions to a degree.

I’ve heard abilify doesn’t do it as much? Only thing is that when I last tried it I got akathisia, but I got that when I started zyprexa too but it went away (I didn’t try abilify for long, I quit it right away when I got severe akathisia).

I’m kind of desperate for a better medication.

It sucks not being able to laugh or cry (well I laugh some, but not much, can’t cry though).

Maybe I can try abilify again and if I get akathisia I can take something else to take it away (for example beta blockers`?) I can’t live it akathisia though, that’s for sure. (I don’t get akathisia on my current meds)

Amisulpride works well for my negative symptoms as well as psychosis. It doesn’t dull me that much either.
