I got terrible akathisia from paliperidone, the side effect went away when I stopped the medication.

With regards to the anhedonia, you need to force yourself to do things you used to enjoy. Eventually you will regain the pleasure in things.

Here are some tips for combating negative feelings toward previously enjoyed activities.
  • Change Your Intention: Shift your goal from seeking immediate enjoyment to simply achieving a more neutral, positive outcome, such as feeling that you have "done something to improve the way I feel".
  • Start Small: Begin with manageable, short bursts of time - such as walking or watching a TV show for only 15 minutes.
  • Reframe the Goal: The focus should be on breaking negative associations, not forcing yourself to instantly love the activity again.
Hope this helps :)
