Antipsychotics

Does anyone who takes antipsychotics feel empty? Or at least can they make you feel empty?

I've never experienced this but I know a lot of people feel similar, they affect everyone differently

I have had this affect with medications in the past, but I couldn't narrow it down to which one was causing it. I was on an antidepressant and a mood stabilizer. I only know that when I took lithium it left me feeling empty and numb.

I have only just started on antipsychotic but it is a Depot form x

It makes my stomach feel empty.

I used to feel this way, but that feeling went away over time and I think I was just looking for a reason to get off the medicine. Initially it did make me feel blunted emotionally, not sure if this is the feeling you're referring to....it also made my mind less active. But those things are what the medicine is supposed to do. Eventually I got to some sort of equilibrium and it is not so bad anymore. That said, because parts of my episode were quasi-manic, I do tend to miss the "high" points a bit every so often, probably because I'm so leveled out now.

I have been on AAP's for 6 years now. I've had ups and downs, but have been completely stable since my last dose adjustment. Every once in awhile things seem a bit "boring," but overall it is all for the better I think. I am still able to enjoy life....and have full range of emotions. Everything is just 'normal' now.

the antipsychotic i take is Quetiapine, and i haven't found that as a symptom since i so often feel empty anyway. Quetiapine has helped me so much. it took away all my voices and stabilised my mood. i can't recommend it enough.

I take seroquel and abilify and I feel completely empty.
