Really bad amotivation

Abilify amplified it by like 1000x. I cannot wait to get this med out of my system. Withdrawal effects not as bad since I’ve started tapering. Just some back twitching and mild anxiety so far tonight. Anyways how do others on here cope with utter and complete lack of motivation to do anything? I might as well just sleep all day. I can’t get the energy or drive for even things I really like to do. I hate it. It’s like living life with chains holding you back.

Not anhedonia whoops. Always mix up my terminology. Too many a’s.

Abilify is supposed to be one of the better ones when it comes to motivation, but I too have severe lack of motivation. Mine is quite severe. I survive it by trying to do just one productive thing a day.

I don’t know if it’s schizophrenia or abilify or both that causes it.

You might have the same problem on another antipsychotic.
