Negative symptoms

Anyone here not got negative symptoms or has recovered from them? If so, which did you have if you have recovered?

Personally, my APs have not really helped with my negative symptoms. I am on Olanzapine and Abilify right now. I became too manic and self destructive on Latuda, but it did help with my really low motivation.

i had depression, lack of motivation, lethargy, and I’ve recovered from them all about 90%. what it took was changing my risperdal consta depot to invega sustenna, and changing my wellbutrin from 100mg to 200mg. I also take benztropine as a safety measure.

i absolutely have to have my wellbutrin. I will fight tooth and nail with life if i dont have it.

I have recovered after reducing the abilify dosage from 20mg to 5mg (then later up to 10mg again). My alogia and avolition got better. Anhedonia is harder to improve, tho. One has to improve one’s artistic side tremendously (play an instrument, sing, draw or paint, cook etc).

No. I am due to see my psychiatrist in 2 weeks regarding something to possibly do about this but I don’t know if it’s depression. If anything can be done I’ll let you know but it’s terrible.
