Do you feel 100% recovered? Do you feel just as sensitive to dopamine and serotonin as you did pre invega?

Yes, I am 100% recovered. The brain is powerful However due to unrelated trauma and alcoholism I currently don’t feel back to that. Don’t let beliefs cause a shrinking of your consciousness if that’s possible

Yes I would definitely like to know, I'm currently taking multiple different vitamins/supplements but knowing what others take for recovery would definitely be useful.

I had four high dose like 200mg+ injections. I did lsd straight after the injection which made it worse and I wasn’t psychotic properly at the time which caused an even more of an adverse reaction. I am 2.75 years off. At 2 years I felt that new born euphoria of like holy wow I am back

No it was quite gradual in general though if something great happened it would increase psychological nice state-ness, from about 12 months to 18 months was the most consistent improvements, the thing that helped me was to focus on things like reading jiddu krishnamurti and Adyashanti and others things that made me feel good. I wanted to feel better, and I think that helped the most

This anhedonia is killing me

Whenever I feel like that, I go for a power walk or a jog. I find that when I come home after, I’m tired and I feel more able to relax, enjoying a soft drink and watching the news or some tv.

Energy build up is bad for anhedonia and you need to release some of that energy. Even though the drug makes me lazy, I never regret exercise because it helps with mood, kills time, burns calories and these days also get some vitamin d.

You keep saying you have to deal with the under lying issue but the under lying issues probably are a disease that need to be medicated so your posts make zero sense to me. They actually aggravate me to read. Doctors lose patience with ppl when they’re in psychosis and throw Invega Sustenna at them when they could’ve just tried different pills. Not everyone needs to be medicated or has an underlying disease! Just because you suffered from paranoia and all these weird thoughts doesn’t mean other did. Usually paranoid thoughts and things is schizophrenia and you can’t “fix” the root of the problem…it’s literally a brain disease and your brain malfunctions there’s no amount of talk therapy that’s going to get rid of those thoughts from attacking your brain or delusions coming on. Same with bi polar psychosis. Or schizoaffective. So you always talk about “fixing” the problem is sorta delusional thinking.

I have no clue why you got put on this drug, but I assume there was a reason. I agree that pills are enough in most cases and that injections should be a last resort.

I do have an underlying issue that I hope to deal with naturally, I don’t believe medication should necissariily be used long term.

I would think people on this forum have some experience with delusions and instead of only whining about how bad we feel on invega, why not also discuss how to stay healthy in the long run? I for one want to make sure this is the last time I get medicated.

Kaatrina has gone a long way since she had those injections, but I hardly believe she has got ridden of all of that issues, If there was a dopamine receptors test, she will probably got it negative. Having kids and been pregnant is a really good reason to hang in there!!

I have kids but my ex housband is taking care of them becouse i cant. You cant fake dopamine

How are you feeling guys? Anyone better?
 
So far for me everyday is the same.. No motivation for anything. Keep searcing for hope from the rest of the crew..

I noticed these past couple days I’ve started regaining motivation again. Like this morning instead of just staying in bed feeling groggy and sluggish like I have been for several months during recovery I got up washed my face brushed my teeth put makeup on had a glass of water and ready to start my day. Not too long before this I would be not even wanting to get up and start my day. I think recovery is real I also think it being summer and sunny is helping a lot

My sense of recovery is not her sense of recovery, thats it!

Yeah recovery or however much you recover is definitely going to be different for everyone. Like all of our starting points are different anyways. And like even if you lost something that will never return again that doesn’t necessarily mean you haven’t recovered. We all have starting point where we start out from and can only move up from there .

Who is/was bedridden? How long does it takes?
Click to expand...
For me the first couple months are always the hardest of feeling like you are bedridden. This time around it’s gotten better for me month 4 but I usually try and force myself to get out of bed. I strongly believe though it will get better if you try to at least slowly increase things like making small goals and work from there and keep a log in a journal to track progress such as things like working out and taking walks.
