Maybe it's not that antipsychotics make you ugly (except for gaining weigh and man boobs on Invega), but your confidence and self-esteem gets much lower. I used to find myself handsome, easily talking with girls I didn't even know, was confident and so on. Now, on Abilify Maintena, I'm so anxious I can't even go out and buy food for myself, pimples keep popping up on my face and I used to have it clear and smooth.

i remember that now. it just seemed like it.
but yeah, i don't like your parents. i don't like psychiatrists either. but i feel you on how you're not trying to talk to them and how they don't understand. mine doesn't relate, but i try to let them know that my thoughts and people are the issue and medication doesn't help and i wanna get off and they keep calling the thoughts voices and insist that the medication helps and want me to stay on meds years after i get off commitment. i've brought it up throughout the whole 15 outta 18 months i'm on commitment and it's like they are deaf or something. like if dopamine is really my issue, then i'm one of the 40% that is resistant to AP treatment.
try to get some xanax or something though lol. and then see if that helps with your anxiousness.

I know what you mean. I told my parents and my psychiatrist my side effects and they don’t give a fuck at all

I just thought that a month has 4x7 days=. 28 days, lol. But yeah, I should probably count it by the other way, so 2nd August it'll be 5 months in my case.
I'll divide my days by 30.5, since one month has 30 days, the other 31 and it goes in cycle.

yeah that'll work. it's off by like .04 when dividing 365 by it but whatever.
 
Just to save you guys some money, time and effort St John Wort isnt as effective as we think.

Absorption, metabolism, and excretion of paliperidone, a new monoaminergic antagonist, in humans - PubMed

Absorption, metabolism, and excretion of paliperidone, an atypical antipsychotic, was studied in five healthy male subjects after a single dose of 1 mg of [(14)C]paliperidone oral solution ( approximately 16 microCi/subject). One week after dosing, 88.4 to 93.8% (mean 91.1%) of the administered...

What in those articles made you come to that conclusion?

Also, how do you view the full version of the articles that you linked to?
 
I've been off invega for over 2 and a half years and I still cant get drunk or anything but I'm feeling better like I can feel anger and love again. I have a feeling since I was on 234mg for over a year that I wont return to normal for 8 more years

longest case i've seen that couldn't get drunk or anything. longest i've seen before was like a year. longest actual case i've heard of was like 8 years or something but the guy was on APs for years. but if you can feel love and anger then i think expecting 8 more years would be unnecessary but who really knows. the run with invega is blind.

This is my first day waking up with that feeling of happiness. I haven’t felt this in awhile, but I feel really good, like I used to in highschool. I’m 22 btw. Came off of Invega about a year ago and felt recovered in 6.6 months. No more anxiety. And I also don’t use drugs, alcohol, or marijuana.

Congrats from me aswell. Was anxiety your biggest problem? How about your intelligence, how was it after the shot and how is it now? How many injections were you given and what doses? 6.6 months is a really quick recovery and hopefully age is an important factor in recovering, cause I'm just a year younger than you are, maybe it won't take me so long, we'll see, lol. Did you recover all of a sudden or was it gradual?

Ya I agree if recovery is even possible I think it's going to take 5 or more years to.make a full recovery some people think it's permanent tho like Ross Jason Bohem Lai on Facebook he's been off 5 years no improvement some days I a very that I may be like this for life
