Negative symptoms showing up again?

I’ve noticed that my negative symptoms seem to have been reappearing lately, like within the past month or so. I wonder why that is. They are still nowhere near the severity they used to be at, but I’m noticing things like it being very hard to get dressed so often I just stay home to study and stuff now, not really being interested in my hobbies or being able to focus on them. I am not depressed.

I wonder if this is due to how terrible my sleep has been lately? Either that or the seroquel is what brought it on. Often I’ve noticed APs bring out those symptoms and tend to make them worse, however I have been off seroquel for a couple weeks now at least I think. Maybe it is just due to regular sleep deprivation then. It’s upsetting regardless.

It could be the sleep deprivation or the seroquel.

When I was on seroquel I really struggled with negative symptoms,

And it took weeks of being off of it to return to normal.

Or, it could be the sleep thing,

You’ve really got a lot going on.

Hope you get some good and regain some interest soon!

I can’t speak on seroquel, never been on it myself.

But I think irregular sleep patterns could possibly have something to do with it.

I know for myself if I don’t sleep on regular patterns I can feel fairly bad/unmotivated.

Its prolly mild depression possibly related to sleep deprivation. Negative symptoms are a chronic condition that dont fluctuate, thats not the nature of the neurocircuitry. Sure, meds zonk u out some too.

Get some sleep
