Ever since I was on the antipsychotics I noticed a lack of interest in the things that once bring me joy. Things like playing computer games, watching movies and netflix.

I was able to enjoy them before my treatment, during my period of psychosis. Is this anhedonia?
Has anyone else experienced the same lack of interest after being treated with antipsychotics?

It sucks because these were things that I used to love to do. Being able to chill and watch netflix and play computer games. But I find myself instead just mindlessly scrolling facebook, or the internet and lying in bed these days.

Not feeling like doing anything.

Paaliperidone is the primary metabolite of risperidone. I was on risperidone for 7 months and found it strongly deflated me of all interest in activities I normally enjoyed. While medication can cause it, it can also be caused by the illness itself too.
