TI do believe being on antipsychotics for 6 months is the same as having 1 session of 1940s surcial style brain lobotomy... does anyone agree with me

totally....3 injections of iInvega was very bad but i took abilify for almost 10 months + 3 injections and this definitely felt like a lobotomy
 
It kinda sucks what kind of age we live in, its only been 60 years and its so early to treat mental disorders, I wonder what treating schizophrenia, bipolar. How they treat it in 1000 years into the future will be they'll probably find a cure for these mental inlness by then... I wish I lived in a more advanced medical age psychology is still new. I wonder how people treated mental ilnesses 500 years ago in the 1500s or even 1000s medival times. I just wished I lived in a more advance medical age thats it...

I’ve been just reading the arguing back and forth between users on this thread ☹️we should be encouraging and uplifting one another smh

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking to myself today after I came back from therapy and hadn't checked/refreshed this thread in several hours. I'd assume the entire purpose of this thread is to provide encouragement and support to others going through similar or even the same experience, not the complete opposite. I've never been one to enjoy starting or involving myself in drama, it's just so unnecessary and seems like nothing but a huge waste of time, when I could instead expend that time and energy into recovery or positive affirmations. I'm starting to realize and understand why people are choosing to leave this thread, I don't blame them at this point.
 
I think everyone should just block whoever is bothering them and just not pay attention. (easier said than done for me)

You should block me if you want to, if I disturb your peace.

Anyway, I'm happy and high on the reggiest weed I ever got from a dispensary. So I guess I'm still a cheap date. Don't worry, your tolerance will go down again.

>>>>>>>>>>>>> 7 Month UPDATE <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<​
So guys it's been 7 months now since Ive stopped the injection, last time I had it was 16/12/2022. It's been a bumpy ride for me but in general I do feel like im recovering, Akathisia is gone upto 80/90%. Anhedonia is still abit here but way better than before I would say about 60% gone for anhedonia. Sexual dysfunction/libido about 70-80% recovered. Still there's improvment left to become my former self (Pre-invega self). Im not doing too bad my weight is healthy about 69kg, 5ft10. My Emotions are back 80% Im able to cry get emotional feel sympathy one of my uncles passed away last week at the age of 84 I felt quite sad about it. RIP to him may he be in a better place now. Long story short I am recovering even after 10 injections. But theres still some side effects that still persist such as orthostatic hypertension, when I standup from a lying position I feel abit dizzy generally goes away when I sit back down or it goes away after 5-10 seconds of standing up but does feel weird as if im going to faint not sure if this is permanent but this is the one of the side effect thats interfering with my daily living. None-the-less, recovery is ongoing I would say give a take another 6-8 months to become my pre-invega self hoping I dont get psychosis by then, or their willl be no point in recovering if Im just going to fall back on the injection and I know most of you guys feel like this too.

I'm one of the few people here who has taken 10 injections most of you guys have taken 1 or 2 injection I understand the severity of 1 injection is equivalent to 10. But I suffered for longer I was on the injection for about nearly 1 year. So if you are worried that you wont get better after 1 or 2 injections, put yourself in my shoes and think for a second if I had 10 injections and I feel good now then why wouldnt you from 1 injection or even better? It's been a long journey for most of us and for those who are new here if you want to recover from the devastating side effects that we werent told about before going on this medication, you need to take it one day at a time and have some patience don't do anything drastic just remember you wont be like this forever eventually you medication wears off you become your old self sooner or later or atleast 90% recover which is good enough to live on. Goodluck all and I wish you all the patience while recovering from emotions, anhedonia, akathisia depression & so on.

Hey would you please dm me?
 
Is there any point trying antidepressants if I’ve only been off invega shots for one month or will they just be blocked by the invega still left in my system? I want to try Effexor… just desperate for something to work

Where did I make a claim? Show me. I only spoke in general terms
apsucks said:
You just said some people don't recover then proceeds to say everyone heals ?
Click to expand...
I was talking about what information (conclusion) you can gather from browsing forums. I do believe everybody recovers, and those who claim that they don’t have issues in their head (like hypocondriacs)
apsucks said:
most people say this drug ruined their lives there are enough reviews and testimonies
Click to expand...
Yes, but it’s not permanent
apsucks said:
Katrinaa made this claim as well because they have some permanent issues or issues that take longer than two years they must be on some med
Click to expand...
Because we have ppl complaining of long term effects without mentioning they are on other drugs. That’s bs
apsucks said:
My only point is that you shouldn't be spreading toxic positivity by downplaying someone elses experience. You can spread postivity without doing it
Click to expand...
I don’t see it as toxic at all. I’m just calling it the way I see it. Not trying to give false hope to anybody. It’s my honest opinion.

Some people suffer hard and I feel for them, some just need to be smacked out of the pity party they’re in and sack up.

Again, just speaking in general, not directed at anybody in particular.

We need to clear the air sometimes because we have opposing views. I’m glad I did because I exposed the mentality of one fraudster pretending to have side effects for many years lying through his teeth. It was the same douchebag that’s been here all along. Why on earth would somebody lie like that? Only to spread fear. Pure evil

Only negativity I read is from people who are currently taking meds and wonder why they still feel like shit.
Click to expand...
Look at me, 2+ years off every med. I still complain and suffer, but I also speak about my improvements and try to motivate people in as much realistic way.
 
This is a forum we are supposed to have discussions even if we don’t agree with one another. That’s what free speech is all about. This way we can expose the truth from nonsense.
 
Baddream said:
Then what is his beef with me about? I was talking about ppl who say they never recover. I understand it takes a long time for many, but some claim permanent
Click to expand...
I already addressed where is the issue in your viewpoint.

If you are thinking pessimistic or optimistic, it doesn't change your reality.

Then wouldn't it be the best choice to be realistic instead?
