I wish I didn't have PSSD, I wish it would just go away. I'm erogenously numb again after smoking weed over a span of two weeks. I have faith it will come back, it always does, sometimes better than before the weed crash.

I have been feeling an increase in emotion again lately, back to that 85% in my signature. It doesn't stay constant. I'm sure if I can just 100% quit smoking weed I'll heal up faster. I can feel more stress and anxiety.

I have to find a way to exercise again through the snowy dark months, I really believe exercise helped.

Does anyone know when and how to taper off the 2 injections? Like what time frame to switching to the tablets etc etc

ahnedonia will take over soon.

akathisia stops around 2 months usually but ahnedonia and other mental struggles are real deal later on.

I know it is. it was hell.

I thought if akathisia stops everything would be better.

It's not over...

Anyway, you can talk with people here everyone has been through this.

I promise you guys will make it out on the other side of this. I stayed in my room for 8 months straight when I was first recovering from invega, i started seeing improvements around the 8 months mark. Then I got into gardening and being out in nature more because I could actually enjoy it again. by 12 months I was back to who i once was but in a way reborn with a new perspective and gratitude for the precious life we are given. I’m thankful for the shot happening to me because it woke me up to all the terrible things I once put my body through with drugs like LSD and marijuana. our bodies are not meant to be constantly flooded with substances. We can never reach a true state of happiness with substances. Happiness comes from God and from within and nothing else on earth will satisfy you. I hope and pray the best and most speedy recovery for all of you. Go back and look at my previous posts by clicking on my profile name. You will see the progression of things. God bless you all!

Hey just checking in to see how everyone was holding up during this pandemic. I just want to be an ear and a voice so you all know that recovering is the only option. This medicine is a long lasting injection so dependent on the person, it may take longer or less time. It took me about two years to recover. I feel better than ever. I’m genuinely happy. And I’m making strides towards being a better person everyday. I had a total of 5 injections. Everyone side effects will differ. Stay hold and keep the fight in you. This is not the end for you but a new beginning. God loves you and sees the pain and agony you are enduring. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Ask in prayer and believe. The mind can conceive what it believes. Believe you are getting better day by day. Monitor yourself. Hear the silence. Embrace the pain. I love y’all. Take Kare and be blessed.

Wow man, reading the thread brings back so many memories.

Like I remember how I was so obsessed with this invega and feeling so down and mentally dulled that I couldn’t play my favorite jazz pieces, but man now both my mind and body feel muchh better than pre-invega and I basically compose 5 part arrangments of my favorite jazz pieces for fun now

Did your akathisia stop?
 
Caffine clearly works on me again, but I don't feel that buzz I used to when I drank coffee. Oddly I felt it before I got covid, and lost it a bit. I wonder what would happen if I had an energy drink, those would make me feel a kind of high. I remember drinking them when I was a young teen, it was like kiddie cocaine. It never had the same effect on me as an adult though, but it did feel almost like ADHD medication and I would drink them while I was writing papers, before tests and during finals week.
