“I have suffered the same amount of emotional numbness like severe andehonia the whole time… I don't even have thoughts in my head it's just blank, when I talk to people I have hardly anything to say, I hate it.”
Cause
r/anhedonia first-person OP u/PsychologyFrequent63 (post 1fous61; crosspost 1fouqco): anhedonia began the day after first antipsychotic injection 400 mg zuclopenthixol (Clopixol); on it ~1 year then switched to aripiprazole/Abilify LAI 400→300 mg (~1 year). Tapering Abilify tablets at posting.
Duration
~2.5 years at Sep 2024 posts (onset day after first zuclopenthixol injection)
Recovery notes
Dose reductions of Abilify (to 5 mg) had not changed emotional numbness/anhedonia or blank mind at posting. Told recovery can take 1–2 years after antipsychotics.
