Does anyone here use Promethazine or low-dose antipsychotics, for an anadonia or a restlessness and anxiety that stemmed from the SPD ?

It's been my experience that antipsychotics make anhedonia worse.
I looked up Promethazine and apparently it's an antihistamine. Antihistamines give me fatigue.
For restlessness and anxiety I'm on a low dose of Klonopin, plus marijuana.
Screaming racial epithets at passerbys on the street also helps relieve tension, but that's just me.

Anhedonia ? ... yes... most definitely.
Unrest? ...
Can you elaborate?
Physical or mental restlessness?

I'm on risperidone for bipolar but I can't say it helps for anhedonia. It has reduced the delusions and presence thing so that's something.

I was on some temporarily but they weren't for that. Ugh, I can't remember the name but that's because I'm brain dead today due to allergies. The name started with Rex and I didn't take them long enough to know if they did anything major to help. When the other meds seemed to be helping more, I dropped the antipsychotic.
My anhedonia and anxiety have been nearly annihilated after first getting my mood stabilizers on track to calm my energy level and stop my psychosis, then ADHD meds to help me not feel overwhelmed by too many thoughts while trying to focus.
I'm on 300mg Lamotragine and 20mg Adderall.
