#recoveryupdate

January 6th makes 3 months since I got this shot. I’m doing a lot better than I was the first month. I’m the beginning the following was my current state.
• no sex drive/libido
• couldn’t ejaculate/get hard
• physically exhausted 24/7
• couldn’t hit the gym and workout like I used to
• no motivation
• brain swelling/ couldn’t think straight
• lack of pleasure in things like can’t even listen to music.
• suicidal 24/7
• weight gain
•numb genitals/no sensation
• can’t feel coffee
• suppressed emotions

Since then I have been recovering slowly but surely
I am no longer suicidal, I can now ejaculate like normal, my libido is a little bit there as I can get it up now. The brain swelling is gone and I can start to think straight again (still not 100%) I now am no longer physically fatigued all the time and have been hitting the gym lifting weights 3-4 times a week and throwing in cardio throughout the week, i now have a bit of motivation to hit the gym but that comes and goes, I enjoy playing video games with friends. Genital sensation is coming back but still super numb. Still can’t feel coffee but I can feel alcohol. My emotions are still dulled but I can cry just not as emotional as I used to be. Music still sounds dull as well. I also work full time.

Overall I think it will take me a year to recover judging by it being almost three months now. I am now going on a diet to lose the 10lbs I have gained and will be trying to get in better shape as I train to become a firefighter. I will update at 6 months, 9 months and a year and will be praying for all of you. If any of you are interested in playing video games, need someone to talk to don’t be afraid to reach out and add me on discord @Moonrider_103 also I can feel a bit of a high after working out and sauna (endorphins) but it’s very slight.

your recovering well man, same man i can feel nicotine shrooms and weed idk about alcohol havent tried and cant feel caffeine nicotine gives me headrush but i quit its not as pleasurable as before shrooms gives me slight euphoria but wont be doing it again because the trip started off horribly, weed made me feel 10x better with mild euphoria used to be intense but i think this is good for having 7-8 ng/ml of poison in my blood which is equal to the lowest dose in pill form hopefully ill feel alot better when its 0 in my system

That’s great to hear! My friend who works in healthcare said same thing. I’m glad you’ve been doing well since on paxlovid. I had Covid for the first time this year too.

I read that you’re an illustrator and you’re working on getting your creativity back. I’m a professional writer and journalist and I need my writing back. Was wondering how you’d say your recovery is going with tour imagination and talent.

I had 9 months of pills for reference. Regret not spitting them out every day.

I can figure out how to draw things by looking at them again, I remember how to draw now. I still struggle with coming up with ideas and picturing things. When I say "I'm getting imagination back" I'm saying it's there, but it's like 15% of what it was. I don't think I've been left with absolutely nothing through all of this, but everything I had going has been worn down. I have emotions, but it's so faint. I enjoy things, but barely.

I deeply regret taking Prozac and I constantly think about what would've happened if I had stopped and asked questions in the PSSD subreddit. I wish I had known about busiprone as a medication, I would've picked that. I'm sure I would be mostly normal by now if I didn't take it.

I hardly ever respond here nowadays, mainly because I've recovered sufficiently and try to avoid getting involved in anything that reminds me of the extremely difficult situation I had to go through with Invega over a year ago now, which is probably why many people seem to come and go over time. It's unfortunate that we lost at least 2 users that I know of during the time I've been here, being Merek and Nurse Ratched, but hopefully they're in a much better situation now if there is such thing as an afterlife. I could also re-write an extensive explanation for newer users here about how I felt and how I currently feel, but I'm already content with my lengthy explanation that I gave here back in October so I'll leave it as is. Long story short, I went from feeling the way most people here did, and after unbearable amounts of suffering for months on end, everything eventually came back, everything that makes life enjoyable and worth living, I felt so incredibly happy and relieved that I could finally continue living an enjoyable quality of life again.

Unfortunately, this entire experience ended up destroying my relationship and reputation with the majority of my family since they would never believe me or understand, but I'm glad I at least had support here from those that truly understood as they had gone through the exact same issue that I did. I also wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, or holidays in general, and if you felt too ill to enjoy this year, hopefully the next will be better. Because I know I sure as hell am going to put fourth every bit of effort I can next year by going to the gym, with work, and with going to college. I refused to allow some measly little injection destroy me and prevent me from reaching my goals. I will do everything I possibly can to re-build and re-gain everything that was once taken from me because of antipsychotics, and I refuse to ever allow this to happen to me ever again, and if I can prevent others from having to suffer like I or we did, that's even better!

(Incase anyone happens to remember, I made a promise in the past mentioning that I'd make a recovery story video exactly a year off of the injection, but I ultimately decided that I'd like to wait until early next year if all goes well until I can afford proper recording equipment, I wouldn't want to upload a YouTube video that looks and sounds as if I recorded it with a toaster oven or something!) 😂

Very happy you recovered sufficiently and came back to be a good story for people that are still struggling. Merry Christmas! Hope it was a good one

no you shouldnt have taken any meds meds are poison!

That's too simplistic of a view. While I can appreciate that something like Invega and other APs have given a lot of people issues, especially being put on them involuntarily, all meds aren't "poison". Some people benefit from meds, some people can't function without them, and they work for them without side effects. Declaring all meds are poison paints with too broad a brush and is overly reductive.
 
Well guys i dk uts poison leaving the sistem, but i think my depression has lessend. I can feel glummer of happy nes sometimes and get optimistic
 
I spoke to this man a couple months ago. He's in new york. Very very bright. He said that what was done to me is absolutely horrific. It just gets me more and more pissed off at the psychiatrist. I am fuming with them. Beyond fumming at this point
 
So of my 2 contacts for treatment. I decided to scratch off the guy from mexico. Very defensive and seems unsure of himself. He keeps telling me he has to consult with other people. That's not a good sign. Decided to move forward with my other contact. Five times more expensive but they really understand what's going on. I was hoping to save some money and go to Mexico, but my health and life is not worth it
 
God loves you, He just asks that you turn to Him Humbly… He promises to meet you there❤️. No medicine, Self-loathing, Demons, or Anything can separate you from His Love… Please Open your heart to Him my friend.. His Love captured me, even when I didn’t want it. NO THING can deny The LORD what His heart desires.. And he desires You, and wants to give you peace and comfort AND MORE. God Bless🙏
 
I know I'm pretty transient in this forum but I wanted to give y'all an update. I'm 16 months off and I feel like myself again. 100%. I might think about invega once or twice a month.

It does get better. For those recovering, I highly recommend vaping nicotine. Yes, it's swapping an addiction (body's addiction to APs and subsequent withdrawals) with another addiction, but as long as you have a steady supply of nicotine which is easy to get, you will be fine. It is a miracle drug for both reducing or entirely removing psychotic symptoms and withdrawal symptoms (which often go hand in hand.) I only started vaping a month or so ago but I believe it would have been much easier if I had started earlier. Nicotine has many benefits including staving off Alzheimer's.

Everyone gets their life back at their own pace, all at the right point in time. That's what I believe, at least. It does get better.

John 16:21-22 NKJV
A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. [22] Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.

Stay safe, and hang in there, folks. It gets better. Much love to all of you. I will try to remember to log in or check my email for updates if y'all have any questions for me. DMs are open as well. Peace.
 
Im in contact with a guy from Canada his name is Mark he was forced invega sustenna for 5 years under mental health act on an ilness he didnt had. He is living fully normal life. Looking handsome ripped and happy. He told me i have nothing to worry about after 3 injections. He said the it took him one year to recover and the long fasting and healthy diet was crucial in recovery. Thats why religions mention fasting as it heals the whole body (neurogenesis and detoxification). Im 5 months off and each day i feel better and better. All my side effects stem from ptsd i had from dehumanising forced drugging and hospitalization. Peace with yall.
 
Once i recover mentally from all this hell i plan to make the biggest antipsychiatry case in the whole Poland to hear about the rosenhan experiment they did on me. They misdiagnosed my cptsd/anxiety disorder as paranoid schizophrenia and forced 3 long acting injections on me. If it would happen in Usa or Canada or other western countries i would be under mental health act/cto and forced on years of antipsychotics injections on ilness i dont have. In Poland here cto does not exist. Its insane world and psychiatry is murderous. Believe me or not but im gonna go big with it. Praying for yall! ♥️

I would not be able to recover and heal naturally from my ctpsd through somatic experience/polyvagal theory and empathetic therapist because i would be too drugged to release trauma and no one would believe me i dont have schizophrenia while being under neuroleptics that lobotomised me. Imma do Mahatma Gandhi on them i promise.
