Loosing interest I things is one significant indicate of depression, and yes, you can get depressed while on antidepressants.

I myself have lost interest in just about everything I enjoy. The only thing I look forward to anymore is sleep and I need pills to accomplish that most nights. I am forcing myself to participate in activities I used to enjoy as the more I succumb to this urge to withdraw, the stronger it becomes. It's hard and I sometimes do withdraw instead, but I have found from time to time I find myself enjoying activities I used to enjoy after forcing myself to partake.

I wonder though if this is really your present in issue. It sounds as if your real concern is this unk,nown possibility of a schizophrenia diagnosis looming over your head. Schizophrenia is incredibly difficult to live with, I can only imagine, but in many cases people can be stabilized on medications. Perhaps researching this further could do you some good.

I have a problem with vomiting, often from stress although it often comes out of the blue. I avoided the doctor like the plague as I was sure I would be diagnosed with stomach cancer. Eventually I realized I was dying of stomach cancer whether it not I was treated and life was getting more and more difficult as my time hovered over a toilet bowl was increasing. I finally saw my doctor who diagnosed me with acid reflux and depression/ anxiety. I have been given meds and now only vomit when under extreme stress.

Perhaps your schizophrenia is not unlike my stomach cancer. Or perhaps you're right and there is a treatment available that could drastically improve your quality of life.
