I'm sad to hear that you have the same problems. My anhedonia was already bad since before the treatment, but taking certain meds on rare occasions would give me a sense of what it feels like to be normal. Now that's gone too :(. **** psychiatry. Most doctors don't mean no harm*, they're clueless, but the system itself is backwards and rotten!*Actually, mine almost killed me when she didn't account for amisulpride's biphasic effects (dopaminergic below 200mg, neuroleptic above). The sudden increase from 200 to 400 triggerd acute FULL BODY dyskinesia. Worst pain in my life, and I could hardly breathe till the hospital staff injected me with an antagonist. That was the last straw for me!
