I only speak French but I can understand some things in Arabic but I would like to go to Canada but I have a wife and two children but I have a friend who works in Canada
 
I conceived my son in perfect health but I conceived my daughter this year while I was weaning off haldol my sperm was water I hope she will be healthy 😒

chatgpt ruined my day today bruh. It told me that if Invega blocks dopamine receptors the brain compensates by making more dopamine receptors which makes sense but here is what it also said. Once the Invega leaves ur brain and unclogs from the dopamine receptors you will naturally have more dopamine receptors than actual available dopamine which creates anhedonia and other symptoms. The brain can't naturally fill in these extra receptors and it doesn't create more dopamine than it has the capacity to which is why anhedonia persists for a long time until these extra receptors are destroyed. Guess we're having anhedonia for years at this point.

Taking a dopamine agonist (something like Pramipexole, i know it can be prescribed for bipolar and unipolar depression, just not sure how easy it is to get prescribed) can cause the down regulation of dopamine receptors and maybe taking something like a dopamine reuptake inhibitor would help with anhedonia. There's also a few natural supplements and foods that increase dopamine production, and I think there are some natural over the counter dopamine agonist. Regardless of this, the down regulation of dopamine receptors ought to happen naturally as well, over a period of time.

interesting. Yeah I don't think i can get pramipexole from my doctor, he is very hesitant to give anything except for ssris and wellbutrin. I asked for parnate which is an MAOI and he straight up said no because MAOI's are too old and not used anymore so i doubt he will give me a parkinsons medication since I clearly dont have parkinsons. I guess all I can do is wait for the downregulation of my receptors and the unblocking of receptors.

If you start learning english you can learn enough to be conversational in a year. I also spoke arabic and my native language when I came to Canada 14 years ago and learned enough in just 1-2 years. Congratulations on your son and newborn daughter, inshallah she is healthy and has no problems. I think she will be okay because one of my moms cousin used to be on schizophrenia medication and has healthy children except that he was on these medications for many decades.

Yeah I doubt my doc would give it to me either. Just started using chatgpt, never thought to until you mentioned it..

found this on the potential effect on receptors from using Dopa Mucuna supplement.
Effect on Receptor Sensitivity: Long-term use of high doses of L-DOPA can lead to receptor desensitization or down-regulation, similar to the effects seen with other treatments that increase neurotransmitter levels.
 
How did I feel normal 7 months after 5 invega shots but i feel horrible still 7.5 months off a 10mg haldol injection + like 20 pills? This is so scary. Lord please save me again.
 
What do yall think stimulants like adderall do to dopamine receptors that are recovering from a blockade? Last time it seemed to help me this time I'm scared it hurt me

stimulants fry dopamine receptors cuz you will have to keep upping your dosage until you get to the max dosage and life will not feel great unless you get more and more stimulants. Someone on reddit developed anhedonia after years of adderal usage and he went all the way to 200 mg and couldnt get higher dose so he fried his dopamine receptors for a long time.

Oh yeah, does it fry dopamine receptors and even St. John's wort?

And what about coffee and cigarettes, it's a natural stimulant. I started taking St. John's wort, it's been 3 days, should I stop it?

That's why my ADHD is so bad. :/ I think it's almost back to baseline though, still worse than before.
 
Keep pushing through the days everyone I was completely fucked for 2 years 18 months with no meds … however just when I thought my life was over I miraculously healed , I mean , I did go insane again and had to be taken to psych ward after stabbing myself in the throat ! But I’m now able to laugh , food tastes nice and masterbating gives pleasure !!!! So sex will too …. I can now laugh eat and wank !! Much better than before life is now livable and I actually want to go out sometimes !!!!! Peace and love and any questions welcome !!!

Did you fully regain your libido and your emotions etc. hunger thirst
 
I feel caffeine a lot more! I had coffee just because I like how it goes with bagels and goat cheese and I didn't expect the boost I'm feeling now!

I got really mad at AI "art" and I suddenly started a digital painting. I was really disheartened by it, but I realized anything I make will be more interesting and unique than anything a machine can do because of my unique perspective as an individual. It cannot deliberately evoke emotion. It can't make choices. Art is more than just an image, it's about the concept. It is communication.

I feel sad that I might be one of the last people who is skilled in the same way. Generative AI will deskill people. Deskilling always happens when a technology comes along to replace something artisans did. Western calligraphers are rare and have been on decline since the printing press, for example. At the same time, I think people will always draw no matter what because it's just something humans do. We won't stop singing just because AI voices can sing too. I also think people will always want real art. But deskilling is inevitable.
