On a side note i was thinking about making a video on how to recover from antipsychotics. Mostly to help ppl by giving.them all the information we have in an organized way.

But also as a way to give a big fuck you to psychiatrist and the pharmaceutical companies. If they saw us in are state they would claim "its your mentsl illness" while in reality its these drugs fucking us up and i want the word to get out there
 
Hey guys, just going through the old threads looking for hope, figured I'd try to explain how I'm feeling for comparison purposes. I got 2 shots. My last shot was at the beginning of August. So just about 5 months since my last shot. I currently have no goals, no passions, no emotional connection to anything, i feel alone. I can't find hardly anything to take up my time. I wake up in the morning and can hardly get out of bed since I have nothing to do and nothing going through my brain. My mind is blank most of the time. I have nothing to add to conversation. I can hardly make a joke ever. I'm basically feeling like I'm going to end up homeless. I can hardly stand just existing. I can't believe this is me who feels like this. I feel like I have no soul, like I'm not there for myself. I'm hardly interacting with my environment. With no interests, nothing to say, nothing to do, it feels like I don't exist. Are there recovery stories from this feeling? Or are other people recovering from things that I didn't describe. When I hear about recovery stories I almost lose my breath. I just hope to feel alive again. Whenever I go for a walk I just feel like "why am i doing this? Where am i even going?" Like i can't escape this endless dread. Please anyone. Holding on to hope, but it's hard. I'm sure you know.

This is the blatant anti science stance of psychiatry, 'yeah, science says that lack of dopamine causes apathy, anhedonia, boredom, loss of function and severe depression but us blocking upto 90% of your dopmamine could not possibly have any effect on your wellbeing.

I believe invega does more than blocking serotonin and dopamine. They are also blocking other receptors and affecting metabolism, mood etc

Antipsychotics cause major dysfunction throughout the brain and body, this book offers some good scientific information and history of antipsychotics. They cannot be classified as medication. Psychiatrists and psych nurses routinely deny science.

That's very interesting to hear. I have currently been on invega since May before that risperidone. Isen't risperidone the sister to invega. I am planning to switch to abilify in jan, I have taken around 8 shots of invega. The recent one I took 2 weeks ago, I am told that it can take up to 6 months to get invega out of my system. How much faster can St Worth can it out of my system.

It has been five months for me off Invega Sustenna and I still don't feel the effect of Adderall. Before Invega (and on risperidone), I felt a tremendous effect from Adderall. It is like the Invega has peramntly antagonized my dopamine receptors .

did you recover back to prior self? did you feel brain dead while on it?
 
Once Im able to fully recover I will never take for granted living a “normal“ life again. 90% of this year has been spent in my bedroom. Feels like I’m rotting away. I’m holding onto the hope that we will recover and be able to lead a normal life again. With a thriving social life and work life. Fuck invega.

I’m at 10 months off of one invega shot (234mg). it just feels like my brain has been reconstructed but not in a good way. It feels like parts of my brain are missing. I’m not social at all, feel really dumbed down, struggle to access memories I once had Etc.

This song always seems to help me a little. Especially the "it's gonna leave you alone" part. Hope it helps a little.

Yeah i recovered from that fe¹eling twice. Back in 2015 from risperidone pills and in 2018 from abilify injection. On 3rd rodeo now. I prob had same symptoms you got, feel dumb, lay in bed, hard time to shower, hard to converse, hard to process, lack of energy.

Anyways, risperidone was my worse experience. I recovered by forcing myself to try things even though you dont want to. I would strongly recommend doing things like reading a book, exercising, and eating healthy. Also try conversing with someone in real life or on the phone. Its not easy to recover. Its like you have to retrain yourself to be how you used to be.
