Same here weed worked fine for me on every antipsychotic ive been on. I trip on zyprexa no problem i just have to take a break for a day or 2. Benzos are actually worse for dulling the trip for me then antipsychotics are

Let him say whatever he wants. That’s what we are here for. Invega injections. Unless you’ve had invega you wouldn’t understand.
I’d rather read his real posts about what he’s going through than nonsense about praying to god. Be mindful he’s at the start of his suffering journey where it’s the worst whereas others are not!
He’s in the thick of it unlike some people in here. Let him go.

You would not understand? Hahaha all these injections are shit especially olanzapine. Abilify i agree is the least heavy from all of them but its still shitty and dehumanising to be force injected on ilness you dont have.

And yet no coming off olanzapine thread exists its invega. Hmmmmm. Funny that. Look just be mindful invega is hell. I can't speak for your meds but please understand I am broken and really suffering every day because of this shit. Every second of every day is mental torture. I can't do anything.

I never knew my life would turn out like this. I am so filled with regrets. Unless your suicidal then be careful with what you say. I think about death constantly because I see my future and it's not pretty

That's why i wasnt mean to you. I said more practical will be to believe every story that people do recover and all you need is time. No need to enter the loser mindset. Go to sauna and do long walks it will help akathisia.

I'm about 7 months since my last injection. I had 5 invega injections. I got forced on it after a psychotic episode. At first I was okay, I think I was still manic, but then it hit me really hard. The anhedonia sucks but has gotten a bit better. No longer suicidal. Life is pretty dull. I'm unemployed and stuck at my parents place. 2024 was no doubt the worst year of my life. Hopefully this year is better. Hoping to find work soon.

hose things won't help akathisia. Nothing helps akathisia, its a near constant state of inner restlessness

I recovered everything really t this point. My attention span was the last thing to come back really. The only thing is that the invega and abilify may have fucked up my testosterone levels. But i have also been heavily addicted to opiates in the past so that may have contributed as well.

But it's no big deal anyway i am on testosterone replacement therapy and in the best shape of my life. I can lift alot more now at 42 then i could at 20.

How long was your recovery?

My recovery was in stages really and may have been slowed by latuda which gave me horrible akathisia. My sex drive was the first to come back that took bout 3 months to fully recover that. My attention span however took atleast a year or more to fully come back

So your akathisia went away?

It went away almost as soon as i stopped the Latuda. I would say it was gone within 48 hours of stopping it it went away. I treated it myself in the meantime with clonazepam and morphine. At the time my shrink was on leave and i didnt have a gp so i had to treat it with what i had

You said you need testosterone replacement therapy. You know that with semen retention no porn good food you will feel much healthier then on any outside needles? Stop wasting ur lifeforce to demonic sources like porn and become a man.

Contrary to what they say in some circles that wont raise test levels. There is no "natural way" to raise test levels that much.

As far as being on the test goes i get no side effects from it. I was worried about thinning hair but i use nizoral to prevent that and so far no hair loss.

3 hours until I can sleep my favourite part of every day. Except that it gives no relief the sun rises the next day and the nightmare starts all over again.

I just wish the akathisia would stop but I don't think it will stop for a very long time. I just sit here and ponder how fucked my life is.

Yes it's me writing another pity party post. If you don't like it to fucking bad. What's this forum for if not to vent.

How long ago was your last injection of invega? I would ask your doctor to get switched to a antipsychotic with a low incidence of akathisia. Zyprexa and many older antipsychotics like thorazine dont cause it very often
