If you believe the people who pop back into the thread and say they recovered after a year or two, sure.

If you ignore them or think they're lying, you probably won't feel better even after the medication leaves your system.
 
Lion's mane definitely nerfed my sex drive on top of everything else, can I get an F in chat?

My skin is less sensitive too and I had really sensitive skin before all this.

Here's to hoping I get it all back. Fucking hell.

Is there a correlation between pssd and what we are going through ?

I’ve been watching pssd research videos on YouTube and the people suffering and telling their story has some of the same symptoms with Anhedonia.. I believe it’s similar and we’ll benefit by studying their research too

My therapist at the time told a psych that I was going through psychosis when I wasnt. From there like 10 cops showed up fully armed and tackled me to the ground. Kept me in there squad car for 6 hours cuffed. Then After I was taken into the hospital where they kept saying Im a danger to society and myself. Dont even know where they got that from. Most likely the therapist making a bunch of bullshit up and reporting it. Thats when they put me on community treatment order and got injected with invega. Well in the end they told my family all the same things that had been reported and my fam wanted me to get injected as well before coming home.

What Im trying to say is therapists have traumatized me. Dont know if all of them are like that though but damn.

Absolutely terrible.
 
I would like to mention something. I made account especially to say this. In 2016 i got ptsd and i felt no pleasure from sexuality due to derealization and depersonalization and im 100% if i was i taking invega back then i would blame it on it instead of how badly dissociated derealizated and depersonalidated we can be. If so many recover and so many not i believe it can be the huge issue. Btw im from poland and they forcefully injected me with olanzapine 3 x 300 mg x 2 week in involuntary stay in hospital and they would put me on cto if it was legal here im sure but fortunately it isnt. I just need to recover from these 3 w
2 weekly injections. Anyone been on zyphadera? Its been 3 weeks and i feel less zombie but i believe many of my side effects stem from trauma i got there.
 
I would like to mention also that at that time i couldnt get high on weed where before i was getting these ultra blissfull sessions but later i didnt feel it like previosly after i got derealization and depersonalization. I wasnt taking any antipsychotics or any psych drugs at that time at all. It was all mental so many of us may have underlying issues and we mistake it with drugs side effects. Maybe thats why some people say they recover and some not. Overall best thing i reccomend for mental health is somatic experience and emdr. Some of our psychosis may stem from trauma but these dumb $ ridden doctors put us on antipsychotics instead give us validation and love. Love yall. Hope yall will feel good soon ❤️😘

Some of it is mental. Some of it is because of the drug as well. It can be difficult to tell the difference sometimes. How would someone even know if anhedonia is over if they are depressed all the time. But the fact that somebody can drink an entire bottle of vodka and not feel drunk, is irrefutable proof that the drug is still affecting you imo

Can we get a list of people who have healed with screen shots of their last post. I think that would help a lot.

Me and serhat have asked the mods if we can get permission to start a new thread with all the recovery stories compiled.

Not good man. I got my injections 4.5 months ago and all thats improved is my sleep and got some energy back so i can walk. Still majorly fucked up in so many different ways. I hope you’ve been improving, I haven’t been reading much bluelight recently.

This article scared the shit out of me. It says sexual side effects may not subside.

I’m scared I’ve reached a plateau and this is as good as it gets.

Fuck man everytime I relax and feel better I find some shit to worry about. Story of my life
 
Good news is that particular ap is notorious for sexual side effects. Invega is reversible in that aspect from what I can gather
