With what did it help you?
I could actually do things. I have no motivation to do anything now. My sister is sort of the same way though. And she doesnāt have a diagnosis.
Since being on 10 mg of Haldol for about 2 months, Iāve gotten most of my emotions back. But I do need Cogentin for the side effects

Are you less paranoid without adderall?
Yes. Iām more occupied, do more things so less paranoid. But I heard the voice about the 10 years when I was coming off the adderall. Now Iām tormented. I still sort of donāt know what is true.

I think positive symptoms are worse than negative symptoms.
Have you tried adaptogen herbs like ashwagandha? It helped me to motivate me to do things in the past when i stayed in bed all day. It not only give motivation but energy too. Vitamin D also helped. I was deficient in vitamin D at that time may be its due to vitamin D deficiency. These also have some thing to do with dopamine system. Vitamin D is need to convert tyrosine to dopamine so low vitamin D can give low mood too.
Its not that easy. You need to raise dopamine in specific brain areas without increasing dopamine in others, thats the hard part. But yeah I tried ashwagandha and I am already taking Vit D 2000UI/day, no improvement.
Thyroid function also plays a huge role in executing the urge whether its to exercise, do some work etc. The reason why i say so is because if i miss my thyroid medication just for 1 or 2 days i feel so low, unable to even walk so tired, lethargic and also no mood at all even if i was so active few days back. So its worth to check thyroid status frequently as not optimal function can have complications both physically and mentally.

You have emotions on here. Sometimes you are sad, supportive, angry, laughing. Iāve read that in your words even if you feel flat. Iām probably annoying you already harping on you. Lol I can help you stir up some irritation with me and then youāll laugh.

No I wonāt laugh.
My emotions are much weaker and much less intense than before sz. I just experience very basic emotions like anger.
I feel that my emotions in real life are disconnected and not synchronized with ppl like when I talk to visitors in our house. I just laugh bcz visitors laugh, I have nothing to say, I get tired and sleepy with them so I go to my room and go on this forum. Sometimes if the subject doesnt touch life like technology I can talk but thats just with one out of 10+ visitors, my cousin. After that subject ends I go to my room.
Well I hate crowds in my own home. I donāt really join in conversations. I prefer one on one in a quiet room. I think thatās just a personality thing.
I would. I would deserve it.
I go through times where I feel very flat. I basically tell myself to wait it out. I prefer to feel things but unfortunately it doesnāt always work
I have too many emotionsā¦ have some of mineā¦ take itā¦ sometimes I would rather not feel anything.
