I think I have an scientific explanation as to what happened to us and why we have the anhedonia, apathy, lack of emotion and lack of being able feel pleasure situation.
So from my understanding these drugs bind to our receptors and prevent dopamine from being released. Our brain is rejecting this drug and is opposing thr blockade. As a result the brain is trying to release dopamine even though none is being released. It keeps trying to release dopamine because it's supposed to. Eventually the receptors simply clip out and die out from trying to release too much dopamine. It's possible some of us will never be the same again, because the receptors have died. If you do revert. It means the receptors didn't die and it just needed time to normalize. However I unfortunately think I'm one of the ones who had dead receptors. When I was on the drug I would be getting panic attacks no reasons, like I wasn't panicky. That was a result I believe now from my brain being in distress from the drug. Any of u guys were getting panic attacks/anxiety on it?
If you read online about schizophrenia, it talks about negative symptoms of lack of empathy lack of emotion etc, however this is all a result of dopamine. I'm pretty sure the negative symptoms of schizophrenia are not a result of the illness, but a result of the antipsychotic drugs.
When ppl take a ton of cocaine, they blow out there receptors from releasing top much dopamine, and as a result they experience these negative symptoms that we are experiencing.
It's possible schizophrenia can result on negative symptoms. But that does not really make any sense to me from a scientific point of view and I do believe it's the antipsychotics. When you ask a psychiatrist aboutit. They just say it's part of the illness, but they don't explain why it is happening. No scientific reasoning or anything is given, it's just a cop out
