Status
Not open for further replies.
So i had work yesterday. First time i went in 2 weeks, was a 6 hour shift. Today i just felt tired all day. Like i didnt exercise or anything. My day at work.was pretty easy too, just lots of standing around. I want to get in better shape so im not tired at work. So ive been going for 90 min walks a day, sauna every other day. And doing 2 sets of dumbells everyday. I didnt do that today though cause im tired. Im thinking of doing a think where as an add on to my regime ill stand for half an hour while watching youtube or whatever in my room. I plan to increase all these things with time.

Right now i have a union job and everything is based on seniority. Now i get called in once or twice a week sincey seniority is kinda low even though ive been there for 2 years and a month now. After 3 more years ill get fulltime. But about in a year and a half ill get part time. I basically need to make myself fit enough so i can handle part time, then be able to handle fulltime. Ive been pretty lazy fhe last year since i was injected every month for a year and all. Now im off i need to tey and get back in shape. Even though i started doing things a bit, i still get really tired for work. I guess it just comes to show how bad shape im in.

Were you working out the other times you came off of antipsychotic shots?

I kind of waited until i recovered and then started living my.life again and working out. This time though ive been on meds for a year. Longest ive been on meds b4 this was 2 months.
 
Is it possible to group up and get this drug banned? What if we end up in a psych ward again and they inject us with this? I personally was given to it at the ward, against my will so I get discharged. I was prescribed it as well, but obviously did not get another shot after discharge.

Problem is there is this antipsychotic and other antipsychotics, and they all cauze problems. However in few years better meds coming out. So its possible this horror story is coming to an end.
 
I mean no, sometimes people are being negative and toxic and it spreads more unnecessary negativity. You don't have to take everything personally. Sometimes posts get deleted because they're so far off base and regular posters can miss some of the worst stuff that's said in a thread because we have to delete it. This thread in particular has that issue, I haven't followed it all that much in the past tbh, but now that it's in tds I probably will keep up with it more.

Just a reminder that since we're in TDS now, it is technically a different forum so everyone that is a regular here should do a read through of the forum guidelines. The most important thing about TDS is that it's a place where we support each other. Not somewhere where we egg each other on, or say whatever comes to mind to try and get the most laughs or reactions. One sec I'll post the guidelines.

Does anyone else feel their brain going numb after eating food? Why is this happening to me?

I used to go in a fog when I ate on Invega…it was really bad…kind of numb and over consumption. I think your trying to activate your reward system but the reward system is simply gone. It still sort of happens on latuda…I kind of just get so sad I stop eating and tell myself it’s not worth over eating. Truth is antipsychotics ruin your reward system and make you go numb.

Yeah, that makes sense. The reward system is not working properly. But sometimes it doesn't happen when I eat, and sometimes it does. I wonder if this is a common side effect that people experience, it's just that no one has talked about this.
 
Xeplion is pure poison. Five months without any injections and weed is still not working. I guess it will take a whole year before weed starts working again.
 
I miss the magical sensation I used to get just from being in nature, and I wont forget how certain songs made me feel inspired.
I hope it all comes back with recovery, I can't stand life being so dull and flat like this.

Remember that we are the real victims here and the guilty ones are still allowed to do what they do.

If they took Dopamine and Serotonin away from my psychiatrist, I bet he wouldn't be able to show up for work anymore.
Dopamine is a gift from god, and they took that away from us. Without dopamine, there's no magical sensations.
Before I got the injections, life used to look like a story with chapters, everything was magical and enjoyable, now its all gone. That's what I miss out the most.

I'm so afraid this wont come back, because this is what is missing the most in my brain.

Please let the magical sensations from life come back. I don't wanna live like this.

I had an injection of Invega, and had similar issues when it came to re-introducing THC into my system. It didn't feel right. It takes time dude... Try to find some things you can appreciate.. Like the fact that you have access to buds and can actually use them! Just one example. I know how it is when it comes to trying to stay positive. In times like these, it is the small victories that count (IMHO)! PM me if you'd like to discuss things more intricately!
