I don't feel euphoria from weed right now, it almost caused another psychotic episode last time I tried to smoke. I was feeling some of the relaxing effects until now. I hope I can actually enjoy it again some day.

I also couldn't play the roleplaying game with my friends, probably because I was in another manic episode and I couldn't track anything going on or come up with anything to say. I got really upset.

I got my lion's mane supplement yesterday and I think it helped me sleep.

My sex drive is improving again after I quit Prozac. I'm on buspirone for anxiety and it helps.

They tried putting me on abilify and zyprexia, but I'm afraid of the brain damage those also cause. I think my worsening psychotic symptoms might be due to the invega. I never had a severe psychotic episode before this. I almost left the psychotic episode naturally, and then I got worse in the hospital.

Was your sex drive ever 0

I would've said that it sounds like a great idea but the thought of intentionally causing more brain damage ontop of all the damage that was already done doesn't seem particularly safe. Assuming that only the memories of getting injected with Invega are forgotten, I'd most likely find out sooner or later why I suddenly don't feel the way I used to. For example, I'd wonder why I was on this site in the first place, then read about everything I typed and realize why I feel that way. Or someone would eventually bring it up since basically everyone that has known me before/after Invega is already aware of what occurred to me, and they'd probably be like, "hey how are you feeling after this much time off of Invega"?

It removed her memory of suffering after being injected, but she says it also decreased her present suffering.

Yeah. It was so alien to me too because I was always horny. I don't feel sexually attracted to most people (I feel sexual attraction to a person I'm close to and I had to build that attraction), but I sure did loved to masturbate. I'll let everyone know if it comes back 100% or not since I'm comfortable talking about this sort of thing and not everyone is. Busiprone is supposed to help, it's also used to treat PSSD.

I can orgasm again, but I pee every time and it's not satisfying. It seems that I have lost some pelvic muscle control.

The texture of my genitals changed, but they're going back to normal now. I was scared there was tissue damage.

You would not value your progress as you would when you could remember it.

It can also be used as a fuel for going forward, when you see how much you have been through along with how you have improved.

How long did it take to come back to the current state? Did you also have numbness in your genitals

Yes, I did. It's been over four months, not quite five. I got set back because I tried an SSRI. It's a little better than before the setback.

Does anyone feel like they are operating at lower frequencies or subpar human or lack of spiritual life?
 
Guys I am still on vacation. With company now. I can definitely feel hash and alcohol. Maybe it’s the combo. I don’t urge you to try this at home. I’m just saying because some of you are worried. It comes back for sure. Still not 100% euphoria, but I feel it for sure. Could barely type this

Feeling a bit down about the injection today, but in a poetic way so I guess that might be a good sign. Kind of feels like I could sing the blues about it all.

I love this post! I truly believe only 1 dose of injectable is needed to suffer from the effects for your entire lifetime…
Doctors just don’t know it because they haven’t tried…

If this is not true, let’s debate! I am opened to it. I would like to see how do you support your statements against what I just said (1 dose=Forever).

I don't think 1 injection is going to give you brain damage...

Hows your weight loss going? How much was your heaviest and whats it at now?

Hey man my weight loss is going good, I'm currently 68.6kg my ultimate goal is 65kg. I've lost 7.6kg in 2 months with diet and exercise, Ive stopped the injection nearly 7 months ago, my heaviest while on the injection was 82kg i 2022, march. I did exercise and diet for 3 months until 2022 aug, I lost 12kg. then I regained 6kg in 10 months, then now I lost 7.6kg in 2 months so, Its been a little roller coaster but its not easy maintaining below 70kg for my height. But I tend to eat healthier now low calorie food like fruits, tuna sand and boiled chicken with veggies. I stopped going gym 3 weeks ago lost abit of motivation but Ill start again hopefully in a couple months or so to reach my goal of 65kg.
