yeah she's a whore i hate her so much if she didn't call the cops on me 3 times I would have just calmed down at home with maybe some benzo or even temporary olanzapine and not the 10 forced Invega injections. My life is over partly because of me for smoking weed but definitely because of her for calling police and psychiatrist on a family member 4 times.
Yes I can understand your pov.
If you are prone at all to having psychotic episodes i would recommend keeping not only fast acting antipsychotic like zyprexa on hand but also a benzo. When i had akathisia and also maybe abit of psychosis a few years ago i took morphine, clonazepam and finally zyprexa and calmed right down

I would say I rarely have psychosic episodes . I had 4 psychotic episodes ever. 3 were from thc cartridges at 80% concentrates or above which happened in 2023 and my most recent psychotic episodes few weeks ago from 60 mg of indian parnate which lead to no sleep and psychosis which you have all witnessed.
Im the opposite ive never had drug induced psychosis. I have stayed up for 3 days of amphetamines and shot 2 balls of coke in a night and have never gone psychotic. My psychotic episode was stress and lack of sleep induced i think.
I dunno its weird since i went psychotic most shit doesent bother me anymore. Shit doesent stress me out like before
I'm only 3 weeks off right now and got goosebumps again playing guitar. I really felt the music. The past few days I've been feeling really well not as self absorbed and conversating more and have an overall more positive outlook.
To the people that say this drug blocks your dopamine receptors permanently, it is true they do. But the good news is, is that receptors don't last forever, they regenerate which means recovery is absolutely possible. Though this could take time. In fact your body upregulates dopamine receptors (creates more) due to them being blocked. This could be perhaps why some people can go back into a psychosis when off very fast.
For erectile dysfunction try Blue Rhino 10k at the gas station or order it. It works 200%. Had a gf she was cool with it. Takes about 30 mins to work and lasts for a couple days. (won't make you constantly erect just makes it work like normal but its rock hard when you stimulate it and it will last as long as you need it to) Id see her on the weekends and take it on the way to see her.
Just sucks because you have to pay to have sex now.
There is also hope if full recovery seems not to come. There is a drug called i've been looking into called Welbutrin that treats depression. It isn't an SSRI and doesn't have all the long lasting terrible side effects. Does have side effects starting out though that fades. Gives you energy, motivation, happiness, and increases your sex drive. It is a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. That's how you get the dopamine folks. It's even been used with AP. Look online for the studies.
For the drop in IQ and mental function nootropics and other neurogenesis inducing supplements are what I'm currently researching.
Another tip, if you plan to quit, after your last injection, tell your doctor you want to switch to pill form so you have them if you need them in case you relapse. (hopefully not)
That's all I have for now but hopefully I've provide hope for Anhedonia and Sexual Dysfunction and whatever else.

3 weeks isn't anything I don't think i felt the full effects of the drugs until like a month later. When my world came crashing down around me.
Fuck switching to the pills lol. Never again will this poison enter my body.
3 Weeks OFF the medicine.
Yeah but you need something in case you relapse to keep you from being recommitted and stuck on another mandatory treatment program for a year. If that happens then you just gotta find the right medicine. Or you can try to taper better. But also in case you get the terrible withdrawal sideeffects.
I had to go through 12 monthly. Mine was stress induced. Worst time in my life. I recovered in the hospital but they wouldnt let me leave without agreeing to mandatory outpatient injections for a year. At about 2 - 3 months in thats when I lost my soul seemed like.
Oh ok yeah it does feel like a loss of one's soul. I only had 2 injections thankfully.
Did you recover well?
Ehhhh I've not had any withdrawal symptoms. 3 months. They tried to say I should taper off with pills in hospital i think it's a scare tactic. Becau a r they also said I should have the injections for a year. All terrible medical advice in my opinion.
Well the good thing about injections is they kind of taper off themselves because of the long half life. But did you have long lasting side effects from the drug like anhedonia, erectile dysfunction, etc.?
Yes me and many other here have anhedonia. I haven't jerked off in 4 months. Which is fucking unheard of from me. I have zero sex drive.
Ouch. Hurts to read that my dude.
Wellbutrin is an effective medication. It can increase sex drive and be stimulating other than treating depression, and it's an NDRI, but only technically. It's not like taking methylphenidate or dextroamphetamine. Beyond that we don't know much about how these medications work, so it's very reductive to attribute one's situation to an absence or excess of a neural chemical. It's really just about what works more than the science of it.

I had Wellbutrin for a minute after invega. It made me anxious and I had very bad intrusive thoughts that made me want to die so I stopped.
I'm glad you're getting better fast. It's unsafe to take an SSRI after invega so definitely stay away from that shit!
I think my IQ is back to normal but it took a while. Information feels less meaningful though, it's strange. This aspect was worse than it is now so I still have hope it will go back to normal. Before invega, I would slot in info and I was able to predict things based on pattern recognition, and understand connections. I was better at this than most people, I think it was a gift from my autism. When your brain does that too much and you start making conspiracies and think you can predict the future and it doesn't stop, that's when you need antipsychotics because they do help that. But when you're normal outside of drug induced psychosis, it will fuck you up.
