Unfortunately, at this point they are only negative emotions. I’m just feeling depressed, tired from lack of sleep and worn out on everything.
I honestly would like to just sleep the entire day away today and hope for a better tomorrow. But I cant sleep right now, so whatever.
I really am sorry for the depressing post, but thats how I feel atm.
Anywho, I’m trying to keep in mind that this may be a result of med changes and hope that it will pass and be for the better in the long run.
I honestly feel like withdrawing from the internet as well, but then I’d just be staring at the walls thinking, so…thats no good. 
I think you should go on the same diet as @rogueone. Sorry if I sound a bit preachy.
I can understand not wanting to do anything when depressed, was your anti-depressant reduced (if you were on one)? Hopefully it is just withdrawal.
I dont take an antidepressant. I dont usually get depressed anymore. Antipsychotic was cut in half.
What side effects did your ap give you? Are they reduced now?
I am supposed to try wellbutrin in a few weeks though. Pdoc did not want to reduce antipsychotics and add wellbutrin at the same time because there is a potential of psychosis with both.
I reduced AP primarily because I cant find any joy in most things anymore. So Anhedonic tendencies.
I had the anhedonia on risperidone. I hated it, nearly as bad as having symptoms.
Sorry you have had to deal with that. Yes, not enjoying things is a bad place to be in. I’ve been there before, got part way out, hit a sweet spot for awhile, then found my way into it the little joy zone again. Just trying to find that sweet spot again.
Could definitely be the med change, I cut the perphenazine I was taking in half and had terrible depression from it, i settled down in about a week.
Yeahh it could be the med change… as I know from others stories.
In my own experience I’ve felt way different when I tried vraylar after ablify. I went back to ablify because I was feeling… very unwell. even though as I know these meds are similar.
But ablify dosage change never affected me too much.
I went from 10-30mg ablify, from smallest to largest dosage during long time, but it has very low effect on me.
I’ve been going down on my clozapine cuz of the cardiac effects, went from 300 to 150…I am also experiencing some poor sleep and perseveration of thoughts that I turn over and over in my head. My emotions kind of feel, I guess, “sharp” like on edge or something. I am not having an increase in psychotic symptoms, though, so I’m hoping this will all pass. On the good side, the tachycardia has greatly reduced and I’m not having so many episodes of short breath…I hope your reduction works and you feel better!
