Open original source ↗“I can also say you may need to change to a different antipsychotic such as seroquil or abilify because on almost all antipsychotic medication used here in this country ( and I went through practically the entire relevant possible options on the list ) except these two I experience severe blankness . I cannot think or have blocked thoughts . I can 't feel anything , not lying . It is the worst experience .”
- Cause
- Anthropocene: first-person reply on Mental Health America Inspire thread. Attributes severe blankness / blocked thoughts + can't-feel-anything to almost all antipsychotics tried in their country except Seroquel (quetiapine) and Abilify (aripiprazole). Also describes anxiety-linked morning blankness that clears after taking Urbanol (clobazam) 10 mg when due.
- Duration
- AP on-drug durations not quantified; recurrent severe blank/no-feel on most APs tried; Urbanol-related morning blankness resolves when dose taken as prescribed
- Recovery notes
- Says Seroquel/Abilify do not produce the severe blank/no-feel cluster for them (unlike other APs tried). Anxiety morning blankness clears after Urbanol. No full off-psychotropics recovery story.
