Wow ok so you guys really regained cognitive functioning from the very few first months.

Why don’t we talk more about how the drug is still active in your blood and activating itself daily for 126 days? Most people feel the same way and complain the same way when they are taking anti psychotics after x amount of time.
 
Like why does no one talk about the fact that the moment you take the shot it’s like getting a dose of the anti psychotic for a minimum of 126 days. I feel like that should be a known fact in the beginning because almost all the symptoms we talk about are post psychosis and antipsychotic symptoms.

We were in the hospital for a reason

Why were you put on trinza?

I’m glad you’re coping with this so well.

Don’t worry about the pounds, they will inevitably come off and you’ll be fit again. My apetite is back to normal, I don’t feel like eating all the time anymore no cravings for sugar either. I’m back to exercising, but still can’t do high volume. I can run if I push myself, energy drinks help even if it’s just placebo because I don’t feel caffeine yet.

I was on court order to be on meds. In the end they told me to get a shot of trinza to get off of the community treatment order.

Thank you I like your positive outlook on the matter as well. Keep it up man.

I certainly hope so. I'll probably get back in the gym by next year.

I’m doing a blood test next week to find out what concentration I have left in my blood. I’ll keep you posted.

I think we will feel the effects even after we’re clean. That’s where a positive mindset is necessary in order to prosper. We can’t give into negative thinking, we’ll slow ourselves down. We have got to make progress. No matter how hard it is.

Start by reading a book. 20 minutes a day. Then 30. Keep increasing until an hour reading each day. Make it a habit. Watch lectures, webinars, podcasts.

We need to exercise our brains to concentrate on «boring» stuff, stop playing videogames every day it only makes you slower if you play too much. It messes up your pleasure system being overstimulated. Play chess if anything. Study it on youtube at least. Better brainfood.

You have a point. I think we need to acknowledge that we are not mentally stable, even if it’s a drug induced psychosis. There will be new issues after we heal from invega. What can we do differently? Something needs to change. I know for damn sure I never want to be put back on this shot!

I don’t really understand what you mean by the 126 days effect. Are you under the impression that we are fully healed after the drug is out of the system? Do you think what we suffer from now is psychosis related?

I go for an hour 2-3x a week to maintain strength. One hour sessions of compound exercises. Cardio once or twice per week.

Good luck.

Only problems I have left are libido and substances. At least libido can be resolved with cialis/viagra for the time being. But if it doesn’t resolve I’ll be devastated. Might have to consider trt after this. I’m going to do nofap first and hope for the best.

Hey not sure if you saw but I sent you a dm

No just that the website shows the after the loading dose on average the shot is activated one day one and then slowly tapered from then with an average of 126 days being the amount of time before the anti psychotic stops hitting your system as if you are taking it orally every single day.

It’s very potent even in small doses. And God knows how long after it’s out. The fact that people can drink a bottle of whisky and not feel drunk even after months says something. I think we have a long road ahead to full recovery. We even need to prepare ourselves that some things may never be the same. I hate to say it, but I’m worried. Then again, many people report that they have healed 100%, I’m too early in recovery to make any conclusions. But it’s tough going to sleep every night with this on my mind.

What month are you on ?
 
Sorry guys I had a really shitty day. Basically found out that my «friend» is a backstabbing sob
 
Oh how I remember the constant day by day assessment of my emotions. How naive. I feel like this thread was created by artificial intelligence just to keep my obsession fed. To make me hopeless because everyone complains about the same. In hindsight, this medication is not powerful at all. It’s regulated. I would take getting this shot at home over a court order to be institutionalised every fucking day.

This simulation of reality is a god damn mess.
 


This teacher showed up reaking of alcohol and she’s on ap’s. I kinda feel for her seeking relief from the pain

I think people here are in panic mode. But the fact that alcohol doesn’t get me properly drunk is a huge sign that we are fucked up from this drug. I don’t mean to say that it’s permanent, but it’s a complete mindfuck and takes a toll on the psyche.

I promise to be back here on my 1 year anniversary and report the utter truth about wherher or not I am able to feel properly drunk.

In my opinion, it’s one of the few, if not only way to tell if I am still affected by this drug. Irrefutable proof. No other explanation can possibly explain why I don’t feel alcohol or weed the way I used to.

The way I see it, everything else «might» have another explanation.

Honestly that and sexual health as well, but you’ve healed that to a certain extent so I guess it’s hard to tell but in the beginning it’s obvious.
