Does anyone else experience this?
I drink coffee but I get zero pleasure or stimulation out of it - previously I used to feel a ‘buzz’ but not anymore
Also drugs like Lorazepam (Ativan) have no effect whatsoever - I swallow the pill but it’s like I swallowed nothing
Caffeine doesn’t do much to me either.
Ativan helps with anxiety when I’ve taken it.
Do you drink coffee and take your pill at regular times every day? It could be tolerance.
its a little less than before due to ap’s but I can still feel it.
a couple glasses of red wine does very little for me anymore, it does relax me a bit though.
the coffee still works, it kept me up till 4am last night
I take my pills at regular time in the morning, but I stopped feeling the effects of caffeine long before I started taking pills
Do you have any ideas as to a schizophrenia mechanism that may be causing this loss of effect
No, it’s probably just tolerance. The pill doesn’t give you tolerance for coffee. Coffee gives you tolerance for coffee and the pill gives you tolerance for the pill. When you take them at the same time every day (which you should) you get increased tolerance. If you stop taking them, or take them at different times, you get withdrawal effects.
Coffee used to give me more of a buzz, but now not as much.
I still drink it though.
I know the feeling. I took a viccodin the other day and had no good feeling from it. It’s like ap’ s ruin any feel good benefit from drugs, so I guess now the only do their job haha
