Do antipsychotics which lower dopamine levels have the effect of causing all joy and pleasurable feelings to?

0

Before I took the antipsychotics I was able to experience moments of extreme joy, and I had the most wonderful personality. When I started taking the drugs I never felt joy, not only that but I lost feelings sexually and cannot enjoy orgasms. I don’t feel sad though. One thing about the drugs is that when I was on them I never felt lonely, but also I never felt the desire to socialize. Also I lost my entire libido that includes wanting to eat good foods or dance and I really could not experience any kind of feelings of recieving pleasure from anything. None of that mattered because it also made me sleep for 20+ hours a day for several years until they found one that only made me sleep 12+ hours. I am currently not taking anything and I notice that it’s like waking from a coma because I am experiencing developmental states from earlier years that have been lost. I am exercising my brain with some software and biofeedback/meditation to try to recover my brain functioning, but I fear that
