Sounds good. Not sure what your case looks like, but can't you switch to an alternative med before that other one comes out?
You've got the right idea. Fasting is sometimes used in sanitoriums to not just treat mental illness, but actually cure it. There's a book called the mucusless diet and the professor who wrote it claims he's cured many ailments in people.
Have you lost any weight?
Wow! Eight pounds in one week that’s pretty impressive.I lost about 8 pounds last week through keto, but I feel like that’s not much. So I’m doing a water fast to lose weight and heal my mind. Hopefully it works
Is rexulti an antipsychotic? Are you able to feel happy. Do you hsve emotions and cognitive ability? I lost all those things cause of the flupenexiol that i am on. Im having a bit of a hard time accepting i have to do this for another 2 years. Its so hard lol
I'm probably not selling it very well, but Rexulti is a new one and it's really quite benign. It helps regulate my delusions and yet I have noticed no downsides from it. My emotions and cognitive abilties are great. Had them tested.
that sounds pretty good, i was thinking of trying to switch to seroquel but if that dosnt work maybe ill try rexulti, thanks for the heads up. most of the time when you hear ppl on antipsychotics they just feel like shit on them, your one of the rare people who actually feel great while taking antipsychotic drugs. there are so many out there so maybe there is one that would work great on me. i just need to convince my psychiatrist to switch me to pills instead of injection, im on a CTO so i dont know how likely she is to do it. I hate being on a CTO, they want to limit me to the drugs that have injections and there arnt that many of them out there, most of the injections are first gen antipsychotics so its a bit rough.

8lb in one week us arguably too much too quickly and is often just lost water-weight/fluid retention rather than any proper loss of mass. But the keto diet is great for weight loss if you can adhere to it.
I hope that it get approved & works for you. It seems hopeful that it only blocks two specific receptors instead of everything. Wishing you the best.
It dosnt even block those 2 receptors it agonizes them. Meaning it activates them. So its 2-3 more years of hell until this new drug gets approved in canada.
Dont you think it was the weed that caused the psychosis not the fasting. Weed is what gave me psychosis. I was smoking a gram a day everyday in the summmer of 2015 with a buddy of mine then i started hearing voices. I thought i was being watched all the time that my phone was communicating with me. It was bad. I really regret smoking weed back then. It sucks that hearing voices is a pernament thing but what can you do. I wish it didnt pernamently result in me hearing voices because i had a bright future ahead of me. I was working out everyday. Eating healthy. Studying the rest of the time and smoking weed everyday. Man how i regret i was smoking weed. If i could go back in time i would have never touched the stuff cause i didnt know it could cause hearing voices into ppl and then you end up on shitty drugs. Its hard to remenber but i have to remember that i feel like shit cause of the meds im on and not because of psychosis and weed. These meds sre worse then the disease. I could live with hearing voices i really can. But living while feeling like shit from meds is aomething that is very hard to do. Im just waiting and hoping this new medication coming out will be good for not making us feel like shit. Im still young so if this new medication can help it can make life still worthwhile living.
I can't stop ruminating over past mistakes also, it seems nearly my whole life is mostly regrets now, this has happened because antipsychotics cause you to become stagnant in life so because they stopped my life I've ended up constantly thinking of the past, I'd rather be full of life again and move on.
It’s scary to think that a select group of so called “professionals” sit around in a room and together create and decide laws that dictate what can or can’t happen to people who display mental health concerns. These mental health professionals, most of them are biased and brainwashed by the pharmaceutical industry. When you go and have a session with the psychiatrist for example, in my experience it’s very cookie cutter scenario. They already have an agenda in mind when it comes to treating their patients. Most of the questions they ask you about how you are doing are not genuine. It’s just a formality they use while in their minds they think they have you figured out. We the patients, have very little control over the outcome in regards to choosing “treatment options”. For example, I was put onto the Invega Sustenna injection because my perception of my reality did not fit inside the box of what the medical system has deemed acceptable to their version of reality. This is dangerous because essentially if you don’t fit into their predetermined set of what constitutes normalcy, your categorized into having some sort of mental health condition. In my opinion what could really help the way most cases are handled is if the medical professionals adopted spirituality and science together to form a more thorough understanding of what they call mental illness. Another example if you tell the doctor you are in contact with spirit guides and they give you guidance in certain areas of your life and that guidance is healing helpful and positive and has allowed you to make positive life changes well then you are just classified as schizophrenic or under a drug induced psychosis. Not every case is the same though, but I was tested for schizophrenia and it came back negative but they still didn’t understand my belief system so I was forced to take medication.
I too was wondering this same question. At first around 3 months off the shot, walking was very difficult. I could barely walk to the gym. At 6 months walking improved, was easier to do, but still heavy feeling in muscles and body. At 9 months walking got even better, still heavy feeling in body and muscles, pulling the rowing machine was very challenging. Now at 12 months, I can feel strength slowly starting to return to my muscles and can walk up to 2 hours comfortably. I can also lift weights and notice the weak feeling isn’t as pronounced as it was. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I know the struggle of going through this stage and wondering if it will ever improve. I had 7 injections total.
did you have psychosis and is that why you got put on antipsychotics?
