A year ago, I experienced a psychotic episode. It was brief and passed quickly. Even before the psychosis, I was taking 8 mg of Perazine in the morning. After the psychosis, the Perazine dose was increased to 8 mg in the evening, for a total of 16 mg per day. Six weeks after the psychosis, I started feeling depressed. My mood really plummeted. I was started on Brintellix. My mood improved slightly, but I no longer derived joy from things that used to bring me joy. Music and movies had previously given me joy and pleasure, but not after the psychosis.
Could this be a permanent state?
Is this post-psychotic depression? It’s been 13 months since the psychosis—can I ever get my creative self back?
Is Peraz the cause of this, or is it post-psychotic depression?
