This is insanity. Stay strong guys. I love you all. Feels like getting beaten over the head with a stick for 12 months plus LMAO. I feel for anyone else who is going through this.

Not that I recommend it, but dxm once a month or so has been helping me.:) I just need that physical sensation of relief and that serotonin boost every once in a while. It works for me. Js. Everyone is different tho.

I also thank God that I can feel comfortable saying this kind of stuff here - and that God (aka love - see 1 John 4:8) has seen me through.

I'm still having a hard time processing that whole merek situation. May he rest in peace. :(

Keep holding on guys. Even thru the shit invega puts u thru seek true love and u will find it. ❤️

How do you know that Merek died? Has that been confirmed?

Well you have to start somewhere and it’s true practice does help even if you disagree. I know you say you have nothing in your brain but surely you do as it’s evident you can formulate sentences pretty well. I don’t want to argue with you of your capabilities, only you can decide for yourself. Just the act of smiling and listening is good social skills to have you don’t necessarily have to always be talking. I’m sure this will come. You’re at a certain point now and you want to be at something else right now that’s not going to happen over night and how you reach that point is through work; just like in the case of building muscles. And your brain is a muscle so the more you use it and practice the more it will grow. We all have to start somewhere and progress from there.

That's all true, but if invega is blocking your capabilities it doesn't matter any amount of practice you do, the brain won't process it. There's no need to rush these things, as long as he isn't purposefully isolating himself he will find the natural desires to socialize coming back around 12-18 months, he doesn't have to force anything or embarrass himself when social malfunction is beyond his control

Did you also have issues like us with socialising?
 
Why does it take so long for us to recover? Is it the half life? Or the damage done that needs repairing? Or a combination of both? 12 months of anhedonia and not being able to speak to people sounds horrible

The anhedonia is worst IMO. Although I just experience it as normal boredom, I find it hard to stay focused and struggle to find relief. Best thing to do is exercise, but there’s a limit on how often. The lethargy is real

I believe sweating will help detox the drug from the system faster. And drinking lots of water. I don’t know if its true, but it feels like it. Even just sweating under the sun
 
In May 2021 I left the hospital with 2 invega injections, then they gave me 100, 75 and 50 mg, then they changed me to 400mg abilify. I've been on abilify for almost 2 years, first 400 then 300 and now on 200mg I'm still bad but things have improved enormously, keep hoping I don't think this is permanent and I'm still taking the poison. I am counting on that when I quit, which will be in these next few months, I will recover 100% over time. It is a very slow process, you have to have a lot of patience and always be positive, although I know how difficult it is since I have experienced almost all the negative effects of these medications like many of you, such as akathisia, sexual dysfunction, anhedonia, lack of emotions, loss of talk and some other things.

You know there is also lot of electrical synapses in a human brain.

You can not repair a computer software with disabling parts of your CPU. This is why you can not fix a delusion with tampering with any kind of synapses but rather you can only disable partion of the "CPU"/brain so it is physically not able to operate certain "software"/delusion, but this does not remove the cause of delusion/"impaired software" and it will return when parts of that "CPU"/brain become operative again, unless if it gets forgotten and not used anymore but core issue is still present, just burried deep down, "impaired software" that is not being active/used. Humans extremely underestimate brain and act like monkeys trying to fix a CPU with only using a chisel.

Chemical synapses are analog and they make memories valuable and more accessable, when you remove meaning from memories they are much harder to be accessed, so that is how invega causes memory fog.

Did you know that many neurotransmitters have affinity to different types of receptors that aren't their "original targets", noradrenaline has high affinity to dopamine receptors.

Yes, I know how the brain works. But thank you for mansplaining neurochemistry to me :)
I still disagree with your theory but we don't have to agree.

Well there you go, one of your doctors said that yes you will heal. And they are correct. That is a good thing, right? <3

No it has NOT been confirmed, but he has not logged back on for 1 month now after saying he was going to commit suicide.
No one knows his real name or where he lives so we can't search for obituaries or anything like that. He could still be in a psych ward or just not logging on to Bluelight though. We may never know what has happened.

I just want to advise everyone of the dangers of prolonged sun exposure, please apply SPF50+ sunscreen if you're going to sunbake. The UV rays from the sun can and will cause skin cancers, particularly if you live closer to the poles of the Earth where the holes in the ozone layer are e.g. Australia, Southern Africa, the southern South American countries, then up north, Alaska, Scandinavian countries, Russia etc. I'm not saying don't go out and get sweaty in the sun! Just please be safe and apply SPF50+ sunscreen <3

Still waiting for him to tell me his case, but 10 years seems average for me tbh. I would rather 10 years than forever

Judging from everyone's experiences in all 7 versions of this thread, 10 years is NOT the average time for recovery. It is very unfortunate that that particular individual felt that his recovery time was 10 years, but I would say that is rare. He is correct in saying that there is no defined time for recovery, everyone's recovery time is different. But just going by everything I have seen and read in these threads. In my opinion, and I hope that others may agree, the average recovery time is far less than 10 years. More like 1-2 years.
 
Everyone is saying my anxiety is coming from seroquel it is Not true it is from invega . I havent recovered inb8 years zopiclone helped to calm me Down. Is anyone else in meds

You just hit me hard with that “felt that his recovery” because thats all, you can feel that you are recovered in 1 year but I am not talking about feeling recovered, I need a complete recover, an objective one, I dont wanna be able to walk, I want to run like I was able before. I dont want akathisia nor ED, I want everything fucking back!!

He alao explains really well its functioning
 
The therapeutic potential of R-ALA Cyclodextrin in neurodegenerative disorders might be due to its ability to reduce oxidative stress and protect against mitochondrial dysfunction.

R-ALA is a natural nootropic that has been found to have increased levels of acetylcholine, serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and norepinephrine.

It also possesses antioxidant properties that might be related to its protective action on the mitochondria.
