Yeah, that's a lot, fuck them psychiatrists.

Probably the reason you still can't get high is because you're still on meds, and you got injected 2 months ago.
All antipsychotics prevent you from getting high at one level or another.
That's what their name implies too.
 
Yeah and how long they are going to keep me on CTO again probably will waste an entire year on this stupid shit.
I'm glad i got a low dose of abilify the antidepressant dose is up to 5mg the antipsychotic dose is 10mg...way better than shots even tho its the same chemical injected it fucks you up way more than orals.
1.5 years off invega i still didnt have emotions
time to cut family ties as well theyre also the reason i got stuck in psychiatrg

Did your sexual dysfunction resolved?
 
apsucks said:
No not even at month nine...if i vaped or ate enough i would get sedation and distortion of time but without the high. Even at a year off i couldn't get high. in my honest opinion its better to smoke alot of weed from the 4th month on i truly believe it aided recovery if you smoke enough it also helps against akathesia...the plant is truly medicinal and definitely neuroprotective. I didn't find much help from CBD the THC is what is neuroprotective

Weed does not work for me 😔

May 2022. On no meds

So 7 months off if I calculated right...
Well, like I said, give it more time.
I've read someone who posted on Quora that an antidepressant prevented him to get high on weed and now the ability to get high is back for him.
 
Recovery is Inevitable. I've recovered 99%after about 2 years. I still do suffer from anhedonia. An inability to feel pleasure or motivation from things I used to love or enjoy. I don't do much now. I barely go out. I don't socialize and hate the public. better than staring at walls like I used to, I can feel my emotions now, sleep better and control my eating.I can now smoke my weed in peace but alcohol for some reason, doesn't have the same effect on me as before. I also barely have the desire for anything sexual anymore. That could be cause I'm on another AP now but its way better than a nightmare Invega was. I lost hope after about a year after my first couple shots of Invega.

Why is it back to stage 0, did you start taking any AP's or something?

No, no meds at all.
I seen some improvements 2 - 3 months ago with semen volume.
But now it's back to the same level it was on injections, hard to reach orgasm and barely any semen coming out...

Probably the anhedonia and other problems you're suffering from are from the AP you're still taking.
If you take another AP, then that will prevent full recovery.

Maybe its because you're on another AP thats why you still have anhedonia. I was on Olanzapine 10mg for 3 months when I stopped it I fully recovered in 3-4 weeks everything was back like my former self.

Do you feel restlessness now that your 5 months off?
 
My biggest fear about this whole recovery thing is to forget how I was before being injected.
I refuse to get used to my new self...

No restlessness, but I feel impatient a little.
The impatience improved significantly, like it's almost not there.
However, my biggest problems right now is boredom, it's like I've lost my patience to do the stuff I used to love doing for hours everyday.
My interest in things is lower than before.
Also sexual dysfunction like I've mentioned and more mental problems, like lower creativity and I my emotions are flat...

I dont think you'll forget your formerself, once you see more improvements you'll think to yourself "oh yeah this is how I felt before". And also how many shots did you get injected?

Takes about 5 month for the paliperidone to dissolve away in the brain from what I read, you should see improvements in the coming months.
