its just the haldol that makes me lose MOTIVATION AND DRIVE and causes other things like weight gain and then i feel less optimistic. i felt that way on seroquel too and some other ones
Just a theory, but have you ever considered that your negative symptoms are more noticeable when you're on meds? It's quite possible that while you're actively psychotic you're not going to notice the negative symptoms as much. When the psychosis abates a bit I notice you post more about the negative symptoms because the lack of acute psychosis makes them more apparent.
Thanks for this!
