How bad is you anhedonia?

On 150mg Paliperidone pm and 10mg aripriprazole daily.

Food, cigarettes and vape just doesn’t hit the same.

I listen to music all day to boost dopamine.

The dopaminergic hypothesis of schizophrenia is total bs and is pseudoscientific.

We all need dopamine to function.

No wonder those with sz smoke so much; to compensate.

Five will get you ten they’re behind most of it.

My negative symptoms disappeared when I switched to clean eating with regular exercise and pumped up the probiotics and prebiotics in my diet. Any time I have a cheat day and eat “normal” food (e.g. processed garbage) the negs come roaring back.

My anhedonia is pretty bad and there is this ongoing joylessness regardless what I do to :slightly_frowning_face: alleviate it.

I don’t have anhedonia.

I feel pleasure with music, books, foods, naps

Yes, anhedonia is an issue for me but I try to manage it.

I used to love all kinds of music but today I don’t find it as pleasurable

This was the first day in some years that I finally found a little bit of pleasure in doing some small things.
