Open original source ↗
“I’ve been reduced to just a pair of eyes and a mouth with no inner monologue … I have no emotions, no bodily sensations—no hunger, thirst, tiredness, goosebumps, nothing. … This all started after one month on duloxetine, and things got much worse after 7 days on clomipramine and risperidone. … Like I’ve become an empty, hollow observer.”
Cause
r/anhedonia first-person OP u/Holiday-Permit-4582 (post 1k1piyb): after 1 month duloxetine then worsened after 7 days clomipramine + risperidone → no inner monologue + no emotions / no bodily sensations / hollow observer. Unused SNRI+TCA+risperidone BOTH (≠ known fluoxetine/sertraline/olanzapine-primary). Non-Invega.
Duration
~45 days continuous at 17 Apr 2025 post since med sequence
Recovery notes
