Open original source ↗
When I was on risperidone I kind of felt the same… I felt like a plant, nothing more. I completely stopped being a human being anymore… I could not think properly anymore at all and I could not recognize any of the emotions that I experienced… It was more this feeling of simply being alive and staying alive but with no clue as to what to do, let alone why… But luckily, after quitting the medication, this feeling was gone in basically no-time. If I remember correctly, it was only a matter of days at max.
Cause
Risperidone (on-drug ~years earlier); same cluster also at higher-dose aripiprazole. First-person reply endorsing OP.
Duration
Onset over weeks on risperidone; after quitting, gone in basically no-time (days at max per self-report)
Recovery notes
Credits stopping the medication. Same plant/no-think/no-emotion state on higher-dose aripiprazole; resolved quickly after quit. Advises OP should be good after cessation.
