Telling people to take meth/benzos to "reset" their dopamine system or to microdose acid to calm down is totally cool on this forum but don't suggest for a guy that feels like he's relapsing & already has abilify to take it

Please don't be combative towards my comment about seeking doctor's advice when deciding to take a different antipsychotic, or in a different form. I don't even know how one would obtain antipsychotics without a script from a doctor anyway so my point about needing to seek medical advice still stands. In this guy's particular instance, I personally didn't even comment on him taking or not taking the abilify pills he already has...
Additionally, telling people to take meth, benzos, acid or any other illicit substances is absolutely NOT COOL in this thread and I have made that abundantly clear on so many occasions that I feel like I sound like a broken record sometimes. So please do not insinuate that we let those comments slide.

This thread has a particularly high volume of traffic at the moment and us mods/senior mods are doing our absolute best to keep things on track. May I take this opportunity to remind you all that if you see a post that you are not comfortable with or you think needs to be reviewed by staff, please REPORT it and we will assess it.

Ya Ik it sucks, like I used to be a very outgoing social guy always happy to meet people I had a great sense of humor and could always make everyone laugh, now I just feel socially akward and don’t even know what to say cause of the brain fog. I almost forgot who I was before the injections as it’s damaged my long term memory but I’m glad now I can remember my former self atleast.

I thought I was alone in this situation, only recently did I become more social and outgoing, actively trying to make friends. Hell, I was secretly even hoping I'd find a gf in college after my relationship in high school failed, not to be that kind of person but with a height of 6'1, my sense of humor, being relatively fit, and ability to grow thick, even facial hair at the time I thought my chances would be pretty high but then THIS happened. Now I feel as if I'm constantly being judged or observed at all times, especially at my rapid weight gain and now somewhat noticeable manboobs. I'm also too focused on how crappy I feel to even attempt to make any type of joke, the majority of the time I have a conversation with someone I inevitably end up talking about what occurred to me, maintaining a serious tone the whole time. Initially it was so severe that I went from being talkative to literally only having the ability to say yes or no for the most part, as if my mind was constantly blank. I know I shouldn't but I keep constantly replaying the days where I was most content in life, hoping that those days eventually return sooner or later. Only the people that knew me prior were aware of how different I was mentally and physically.

There’s always a chance your body, face, personality, and overall sense of attractiveness will return, it sounds like you have it really bad you’re gonna have to work hard to lose all the weight you’ve gained, I’m 7.5 months off the injections and the only things about my appearance that are different now is that my hair is slightly thinner although barely noticeable and I don’t have a six pack anymore although now it’s starting too creep back in, I’ve completely lost the belly I gained from invega, I got most of my muscle tone back I used to be very ripped before the injections and now I am again about 90% of what I was before, my arms are ripped, chest is toned very well, shredded back, and toned legs, physically I’m doing pretty well, as for my personality I’m still a shell of the person I was before but I’m slowly picking up the pieces and regaining the personality I once had which not to be that guy but I had a god tier personality pre injections, I could make anyone laugh with all types of humor, I could also start very interesting conversations with people I barely knew.

what about meth addiction
 
Is latuda similar to Invega Sustenna? Paliperidone, lurasidone they’re both in the “done” family…I’m just wondering if anyone knows if they’re similar?

From what I’ve seen/read latuda isn’t as potent as invega or a few other strong APS, but it can still fuck you up pretty bad, if you have time check this out, everyone is calling this kid a low life degenerate who only cares about himself but he’s on latuda 40mgs if I remember correctly (the kids like 14 so it’s much more potent for him), nobody’s talking about that in the comments but I think that’s why he is the way he is, If you don’t have time to check it out long story short he barely goes to school showers once a week or less, and plays video games all day doing nothing.

Yeah it has to be, my motivation is so low on only 10mgs my depression is an all time high, higher than Invega Sustenna!

That might have to do with anti psychotic withdrawal I got hit with a major wave of depression 4 months off the injections when my dose tapered to a very low one, I can imagine it’s much worse for you since you’ve taken APS long term, this could be a sign your brain is rewiring it’s self though.

Did your depression cause extreme fatigue? That’s what I feel I’m going through as well where it makes me feel extremely exhausted after waking up and several hours after… tends to get better as the day goes on though.
