Recovery from Consummatory Anhedonia? (Looking for success stories)

Hi everyone,
I would like to know if anyone here has managed to partially or fully recover from consummatory anhedonia?
To give you some context, I am currently experiencing:

A total inability to feel any kind of pleasure in the moment (from food, music, social interactions, etc.).

A complete substance blockage, meaning stimulants like caffeine, nicotine, and other substances are severely blunted or have absolutely no effect on me.

Severe emotional blunting (feeling completely numb like a robot).

I am especially interested in hearing from those who recovered naturally. If you have been through this, could you please share:

How long did this state last for you?
How long did it take before you started noticing the very first signs of improvement?

I would like to know if anyone got better partially or recovered fully from consummatory anhedonia?

(Inability to feel any kind of pleasure, substance blockage as caffeine nicotine and other substances blunted or no effect, and emotional blunting) perhaps naturally?

If so, please tell us how long it lasted for you
How long to feel any kind of improvement
Thank you in advance

I really took the med only for 6!!! 6 f**king days
And I’m left with 24/7 akathisia for 6 months already
I can’t sit, all I do is pace pace pace
Wanna crawl out my freaking skin
And I have no emotions, not at all, blocked substances, depersonalisation and numb genitals
What do I f***king do in this situation

So basically I have a problem understanding if my situation (cold turkey Aripiprazole that I been taking for a week) is Nids, or is it considerate PSSD?

Symptoms:

Consummatory anhedonia
Lack of erogenous sensation in genitals
Akathisia
Alogia
Is there any chance I can improve with time?

It's been 5 and a half months off the drug for me

Many people said to me that if u got injured with AP's, it's better chances for recovery than AD's

Is there any chance I can improve with time or its permanent damage? It’s been 5 and a half months for me

I gave up. In addition to it I have severe form of PSSD with anhedonia. Idk what to do anymore. I just pace pace and pace all day in agony

Pls tell me it’s gonna go away…. One more time….

So technically my shit is not working, I have ED and loss of sensation, it’s been going on for 4,5 months now
Is it considered PSSD or its neuroleptic deficit syndrome? Anyone recovered sexual disfunction from AP’s?

what if I have not lost all my emotions, I have negative and positive ones but they are muted, but have substance blockage

What’s my chances of recovering?
4,5 months in after antipsychotic abilify (been on it only for a week)

Please give me some hope, I’m 4,5 months into this.
I have windows and waves pattern where on someday anhedonia feel slightly better, but not fully gone.
Can you heal this type of anhedonia with time?

It’s been 4 months since I took this fucking aripiprazole pills only for a week. I just don’t understand why am I not healing. Please someone tell me that it’s not going to be permanent?

Happened to me after a week course of Aripiprazole. In rebound psychosis after I cold turkied the medication, I started experiencing Alogia and other negative symptoms like anhedonia etc etc.
But this particular symptom is driving me insane. I can’t talk to people like I used to, having poverty of speech and slow talking, pauses in sentences, can’t form a thought even tho I want to say something. Even if i come up with a thought, I can’t say it properly, emotionally and etc.

Please someone is this shit gets better or what

Is there anybody with this symptom? Does it go away? Can’t understand if it from aripiprazole or from psychosis itself.

Almost 4 month in… after only a week of Abilify usage. Almost Every symptom Started immediately when increased dosage from 5 mg to 10 mg, then CT. Is there any hope for me, I can’t find similar stories from adverse reaction except 2 -3 people and they are not recovered yet. Symptoms: anhedonia, pacing, internal feeling of restlessness

I have windows and waves, but it’s not resolved fully while in windows…

Please do you know somebody who healed with similar case?

I’ve been dealing with it for 3 month now from Abilify adverse reaction. I’m off the drug now for 3 months after ct. I took Abilify for 1 week only with dosage 5mg then 10 mg for 1 day. Any recovery stories?

im afraid it’s gonna be permanent… my pacing is almost gone but internal aka is still there, I feel like a rock sitting, feel weird and shuffle when I stand up From place to place.
