I gained alot of weight on invega and abilify. I went from probably about 170lbs (ya i was skinny) to 225lbs of fat. However i lost the weight once went off the abilify and was put on latuda. I went down to about 170 which looking back is to skinny. However loosing the flabby gut has been a challange. I went from about 17lbs to now being 205lbs of mostly muscle. But even with lifting weights and being on testosterone replacement therapy i still have abit of a belly. Not much though mnd you

However disclaimer here i also enjoy my dr.pepper sometimes 5 a day and beer sometimes 12 to 16 at a time about once a week or more unless im drinkibg vodka usually a bottle at a time. So ya big disclaimer there lolil

It only took me about 5 or 6 months to lose all the fat but i didnt start putting on muscle until i started lifting weights when i was maybe a year off the abilify injections. Now im in the best shape of my life

Thanks for sharing. I didn’t have an ounce of belly fat until the injections so I’m trying to gauge how permanent this change in body fat composition is.

Will keep everyone posted on any progress as I return to exercise.

The people that work in psych wards are by and large fucking terrible people from what ive seen. They are also very fucking lazy and act ike they are doing you a favor for something as simple as letting you in the kitchen to get a drink of water at night. The psych ward is literally the worst thing ive been through and that includes my day in jail

I think many of us are not just wanting to recover from the drug they gave us, but also the trauma and anger we have built up against the psychiatrists and mental health workers that did to us. I myself am considering therapy to overcome the anger and hatred i have built up against these people.

Same with me, i was an exceptionally fit athlete before invega, i did not gain too much weight but have gained a considering large amount of fat around the belly. My body heats up toomuch and i cannot exercise, areyou facing the same problem?
 
This time the vyvanse didn't give me any strong euphoria like last time. But I for sure feel a lot better because of it. My mind feels much calmer and I'm not getting stressed over little things, which can be caused by low dopamine activity in the brain.

My brain hurts. Some of my issues is that I have bad memory,I can think and I feel no emotions. I need to feel emotions
 
I wish I was warned about how severe the side effects would be, I regret taking the medication everyday and I never would have taken it otherwise

I have noticed that anything that causes euphoria or happy news tends to ease all the symptoms with invega too. I think whatever chemical is produced during those events could be key to curing from this.

Actually i still had symptoms when i was on morphine and just off the abilify injections. It still took a good 3 months for my sex drie to come back and a full year for other symptoms like short attension span to go away. However i think i would have recovered mmuch quicker had it not been for latuda. I thnk i could have probably have recovered in 6 months or so if not for latuda. I think alot of my short ttension span was actually akathisia caused by latuda. The reason i quit latuda was because i had akathisia resulting in a hospital visit. I got switched to zyprexa and all has been good since

The anhedonia will get beter it did for me






I have no trouble feeling any drug on zyprexa. If i skip a day or 2 i can trip no problem. I feel weed, clonazepam, bromazepam and morphine no problem. In fact im just about to cook a fat shot of morphine right now

I want to know about caffeine specifically. Can you feel that even if you don’t take a break from zyprexa. Missing a dose isn’t an option for me.
