2,5 gr is a lot for a microdose try 250mg and it is not really a drug. Of it wasnt from shrooms I would be so depressed. It really is a miracle. But I am on risperdal I want to know if it works for people on the injection

I took about .2g I didn’t really notice anything. Is it supposed to be that subtle? Maybe I feel more mellow tomorrow

I got my chestpiece tattoo worked on yesterday. I got the first part done when I was about a month into the injection. My tattoo artist said I seem like myself again, and that was amazing to hear.

That's good, I've been considering whether I should get tatoos or not as well but I feel as if I have too much body hair and would need to constantly shave/wax it off otherwise. So for now I just stuck with something else I enjoy the look of which are earrings. It's been over a year since I got them, I usually prefer to wear stud earrings as well. I noticed more and more guys with piercings over time so I eventually said screw it, why not do the same and go along with the trend.

Hows everyone doing physically. Weight and fat percentage wise? I read that as invega leaves your system the fat goes away too. I wish I had positive news to report but I'm only 1.5 months off

According to my body scan done less than 2 weeks prior to Invega conpared to my most recent body scan done last week on Thursday, pretty bad but definitely better. I'm a 6.2 foot guy that used to weigh 193 pounds but shot up all the way to 264 in a stupidly short span of time after Invega. I apparently haven't lost much muscle since so at least my body wasn't completely destroyed, and I've lost at least 20 pounds since which is also a relief.

A low dose of b6 seems to really give me a decent amount of energy. Has anyone ever tried this?

Yes I have too, except that I was taking it in pretty high doses all things considered. For some time I was recieving injections of vitamin b complex before switching to pills, except that I eventually decided to stop after I realized how high the concentrations are. So instead I'm just taking a multivitamin with several forms of vitamin b including b6 at the recommended daily dose, can't say for sure if I'm feeling any benefits from it so far though.

Its hard to believe that happened after 1 loading dose. Dont worry you'll get it back soon as the drug wears off which shouldnt be to much longer

I'm assuming what you're trying to imply is that I shouldn't give in or feel pressured into doing certain things, such as following particular trends simply because those around me are doing the same, in an attempt to feel more accepted or feel a sense of belonging. To be honest with you, I wasn't exactly peer pressured or "forced" to get piercings, it was merely an idea I've had since last year, and I wanted to satisfy my curiosity by doing the same for myself. However, after having made that decision I made the realization that I have the preference of wearing them as opposed to not. The same way that my beard makes me feel more secure and confident about myself is the same manner in which I view piercings, hence why I typically prefer to wear them nowadays, specifically in public settings. Besides, the majority of the time I recieve compliments nowadays it's usually due to either the particular manner in which I style my facial hair, my earrings, or both, only making my desire to continue doing both even greater. My religion generally discourages the concept of body modifications, which would include both tattoos and of course, piercings, as the body is apparently "sacred" and shouldn't be tampered with, as it was created in the image of god, but despite that belief I don't let it affect my personal preferences, it's not as if it's outright banned either. In the end or the day everyone is obviously entitled to their own opinion and can decide for themselves what they desire to do with their own body, and in my case I did exactly that, it's what makes me feel more content about myself.

Yeah, I never would've imagined that just the loading dose itself had the potential of causing so much damage to me but unfortunately it did. I'm at least glad to see that it's possible to burn off antipsychotic-induced fat, even if it may take more effort than before due to the way it alters the metabolism as well as the horomones.

Im not speaking from personal experience however I heard it just melts off as the months go by after discontinuation of the drug. This is due to it being stored in fat cells so as the drug wears out so do the fat cells. And as prolactin lowers you also lose weight as well. Has this not been the case for your 20lb loss?

Yes people do typically claim that drugs like Invega get deposited in the fat cells, and that it's very difficult to loose weight while continously taking such medications. Also yeah my prolactin levels have gradually gone down, it's apparently within a normal range at the moment, so that would also explain why I've been able to shed some fat off recently. I'm still concerned because apparently my testosterone levels are still low despite having seemingly normal prolactin levels so I'm hoping it continues to increase over time, I heard that usually people who are overweight or obese have lower testosterone levels as opposed to those that are a healthy and normal weight, but I believe with continous excercise and certain diets it should improve regardless.

2.5 gram will make you trip, microdose is usually 0.1-0.25 of 0.5 grams

Tattoos show up pretty well through body hair, just so you know! But you have the rest of your life to decide if you want any.

I once tried 2g before few days just to see what happens. I didn't trip, but I had a little better focus, anhedonia was still present.

When I take 1g, I notice no difference.

I think we require a larger than normal dose to feel an effect. But if xeplionhell can’t feel anything, I doubt I will he has been off for two years.

I may give it a try in a few months just gradually increase the dose and see what happens

I’m travelling to Spain tomorrow. I feel excited. Gonna eat some good food, drink some wine, chill at the beach, smoke some cigars and relax. Later I will travel to Morocco where I will smoke some hash as well. The heatwave will cool down in the coming weeks so that’s good

Even with anhedonia you get excited to do this kind of stuff?

I can still enjoy all those things I mentioned. Just not 100% like before but it’s better than staying at home in my apartment where I live in Norway the weather sucks can’t enjoy anything.

So nice that you feel energy to do this kind of stuff! One of my problems is that I keep comparing myself with my old self.
Toughts like "you should be having a great time right now but you can not feel it due to your condition, your brain didn't work properly" keep flooding my head - what makes everything worse.
That's sad because even when I could be having a nice moment I can't feel present...
I think my mindset is kinda fucked up, not only my neurotransmissers. I've been like this for a couple months.

My question is: how do you maintain this positive mindset? You get this kind of tought sometime?

I also saw some of your posts mentioning going out in a night club and this kind of stuff. This is something admirable tbh. Feels like you are allowing yourself to have some great time and to be happy.
This is something that I could be doing more, like pursuing happines with a litte bit more effort, you know?
Trying to not get so envolved with those dark thoughts that keeps consuming me. But it's been hard, feels like I get more drowned as time passes...
