You get High off thc?
Yes, but I'm less sensitive to it right now. Sensitivity is increasing. I continued to smoke it after I was injected, which was probably risky, but it may have been worth it. I don't recommend it because it apparently could have a life threatening interaction. I never felt that I was in any danger, however, it mostly helped me feel a little normal.

I can't feel edibles right now and I'm guessing it's because invega messes with liver enzymes.
 
Forgot to mention, I had a blood test done on Friday to check my testosterone, prolactin and invega levels. I'll let you all know once I get the results.
 
Hello there! i've recieved 5 injections of Invega sustenna and 1 Trinza ,my last shot was 5 months ago and i feel awful already and i was wondering how long does it take to see the improvement?
Expect to feel like crap for many many months. Sorry this happened to you
 
What symptoms are you experiencing at the moment ?
it's hard to express the unpleasant feelings i guess it's chronic boredom which is called anhedonia. i had severe akathesia and insomnia but those symptoms eased up,got better recenly.

That sounds difficult mate , I have anhedonia too but I wouldn’t describe what I feel as boredom it’s more than just boredom it’s like I’ve had a lobotomy constant dull ache in my brain and lack of ability to feel anything at all , just feel brain dead , I’m 7 months off and no improvements yet … hope you see some improvements soon hang in there

Yea.My biggest fear of the symptoms is getting a headache later on,have you had that issue?
 
Tell any shrink you are feeling symptoms 5months off a single injection and they’ll call you delusional
Yup sounds about right to me, when I was barely injected and began experiencing side effects for the first time people claimed that I'd only have to endure them for a month, then supposedly afterwards it would be gone from my system by then, along with all of the side effects it caused. Obviously that wasn't the case, and I ended up feeling like absolute garbage for months, in which case most people started to believe I was delusional or making up bs. Like just because they were given a false understanding of the duration of Invega, and had never taken the injection for themselves doesn't mean that they have to keep constantly denying that what I'm experiencing is actually true like fuck off.

Hey could you let me know if you end up noticing cognitive improvements while talking lion's mane? I was considering it primarily to help with learning and memorization since my ability to do so is horrible at the moment, so I was highly considering it as well. Especially since I'd like to try return to college the beginning of next year.
Don't bother with lions mane. Placebo. Supplements are not regulated and there's a lot of shady companies that mislabel their products with false or misleading information. These supplements can contain inaccurate dosages and ingredients not listed on the label. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog... rigorously,what's actually in the supplement..

You just need a reliable supplement that uses the fruiting body of the mushroom, not the mycelium. I'm using the LifeCycle extract, but I might try a good quality powder because that might be 10 dollars cheaper.
 
For sure. I'm recovering faster than some people, although aspects were slowed down by new pharmaceuticals I took. I credit that to being an emotional, sensitive person to start out with and my history of occasional psilocybin and moderate THC/CBD use. I'm almost four months out.

Updates:
I'm going to talk to my doctor about the possibility of misdiagnosis and discontinuing anything other than guanfacine. My second episode could have been caused by combining Prozac and weed and post-traumatic stress from taking invega. Straterra might cause bad reactions in some people without having bipolar disorder. I found out busiprone might dull responses to drugs I like and natural serotonin/dopamine, so I'm only going to use it for anxiety attacks. A psychiatrist I saw when I went to the crisis center wanted me to take it daily for my OCD, but I don't think I will. Being able to respond to my only available pain relief (stage 1 NAFLD, trying to reverse it) is important to me, and I plan on using psilocybin to heal my brain next year. CBD helps my OCD a lot so I'll just keep doing that.

I GOT A MUSIC SHIVER FROM THE MUSICAL EPISODE OF STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS! I was frustrated because I was like "I should be feeling more/be more excited about this right now" but the last musical number gave me a little ASMR response! ^_^ I've also watched the Lower Decks crossover three times, it makes me happy. SNW gave me something to look forward to and I'm sad this season is already almost over. This season was full of treats and I can't wait to see what the season finale has in store.
You used psilocybin after being injected with invega? How did it go?

No, I had some just under a year before. It was nice, I had some slight visuals but it was a positive emotional experience. All of the trips I've had were low dose, but I still got mental health benefits from them that lasted a long time.
