Winter Blues/anhedonia/Abilify/Paxil

[TheCanuk]

I’m finding myself extremely bored and not knowing what to do with my time.

This Canadian winter drives me crazy and I never leave the house.

I’ve been on Paxil/Abilify since February 20th. I’m on 40 MG of Paxil and 5 MG of Abilify, daily.

Im finding myself napping a lot out of fatigue but also boredom.

I have been diagnosed with depression, General anxiety and Hypochondria.

Never schizophrenia, but as soon as I told my doc about my paranoia of being murdered, he put me on Abilify.

I don’t have any voices or seeing things, just delusions and paranoia and anhedonia.

Thoughts?

I’m not a doctor but it also could be pyschotic depression. And I think everyone gets bored this time of the year, but you definitely need meds if you’re having delusions and paranoia. That’s how mine all started.

40 MG of Paxil and 5 MG of Abilify, daily.

What have been the most major change since u went on this med combo.
I also take the 5mg abilify and my hunger is thru the roof.

Try vitamin D @TheCanuk it’s sunshine in a bottle I know of a place too

[bluerose]

Here this place I use has 2for 1 vitamin D but it still $34 +tax for 2 bottles. My mom buys me them for me so idk if it’s expensive for 124 vitamin D capsules or not

Since I’ve been on the meds, less paranoia, sleeping more, eating more, anhedonia. It’s still early, hasn’t been a month for either.

I’ve lost a lot of interest in things, but I still like goofing off on the internet so I’m handling winter ok. I’m looking into making a coin, and sculpting the blank so I’ve been filling my time looking into that.

I’ve always liked art, but I lost interest in drawing, I’m just happy I still have any passion for any kind of art still.

Yes, as @John_Raven said, maybe you have Psychotic Depression. Might explain why you’re feeling so listless, and also why you have paranoid ideation. Are you going to see your pdoc soon? I would mention how you’re feeling and see if they have any suggestions for you.
