Just finished up the second date with the girl I went on the first date on. She’s not my favorite nor do I envision a long term relationship with her at all but at least it’s nice to practice conversational skills and get out of the house.

How do you meet girls for dates ? Internet dating or asking out in person

She thicker or skinny? I like em on thicker side as long as they dont look like orks, big butt and boobies.

Lucky if you ever get a response on dating sites
 
Hello everyone. This is my first time here. Sorry if I make mistakes, English is not my native language.

I received three Invega injections, the last one was in November 2025 (156 mg, 117 mg, and 78 mg).

It’s getting a little easier with time, and I’m hoping for a full recovery, like before the injections.

I was given these injections due to a doctor’s mistake. I do not have schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or psychosis. The doctor said this medication would help with anxiety and that I would not be discharged until I received all three injections.

I am improving, but very slowly. The hardest part is muscle rigidity, lack of libido, and shallow sleep.

I hope everyone who suffered from this drug can recover. Don’t give up. I will post updates if there are any changes

Sorry to hear that, we are in the same boat, almost 2 years have passed for me (i’am at 21 months in 5 days) and this shit just don’t get better, i only got tinnitus at 13 months, that was my “reward” for waiting 1 year..

It’s an never ending story, at the beginning you think it may take some weeks, then you reach 1-3 months and nothing happen, so you think it may take around 6-9 months then you wait but nothing improve, you let time pass until you hit the 10-12 months, and nothing happen, nothing change, nothing improve..

At 13 months you wake up one day and your ears start to ringing and never stop since, you start to be scared but people around the forums says it can take 1.5 year to feel better so you keep waiting hitting the 15th month, then you reach the 18th month, but nothing is happening, nothing change, no improvements..

You keep waiting meanwhile you are in pure agony, you hit the 21th month, and nothing has changed, still suffering and in agony, but then you have come so far that you will wait the infamous 2 years mark, the “24 months”, because everybody say that after 2 years they fully heal..

But what if at 24 months just nothing happen? I’am sorry that I can’t help you, and nobody can really help us, if you are lucky you have a family that support you, belive you, and it’s there for you to not fall into desperation, if you are unlucky you are alone in this agony.

No-one can help us, there is no “medicine” that can restore the damage, people keep saying “it gets better just wait”.

So you wait, but it don’t get better…

Blocking dopamine and serotonine cause a disconnection to the frontal lobe, as the effects we have are pretty similar to the old lobotomy, the fact is even months or years after the harm, things just don’t improve, it seems like the lobotomy is permanent, like they disconnected our frontal lobe in a way that the brain cannot anymore connect the part who was chemically amputated.

I start to beliving that people who claim they recovered they never got the injections because i’am not recovering from 2 injections 21 months ago.

Dude i had the injections and recovered. Dont call me a liar please and thank you
 
I recently learned that the brain strives for balance (homeostasis), so I believe recovery is possible, even if it takes time. Everyone’s body is different (especially metabolism), and sometimes it just needs support. After my last injection, I felt very bad, and a psychiatrist advised my mother to arrange IV fluids to support organ function, as well as amantadine, which promotes dopamine production, thereby reducing side effects.

In addition, intramuscular injections of B vitamins (B1, B6, B12), as well as B12 alone, helped me personally. I’ve also read that antipsychotics may affect vitamin levels, reducing their reserves.
Next week, I want to get my prolactin levels checked. I suspect they might be elevated, which is directly affecting my weight and overall well-being (fatigue, decreased libido, and poor sleep)...

What specific 'supportive therapies' (like IV fluids, vitamins, etc.) have helped others here speed up their recovery?

Amantadine actually put me into psychosis following a boxing concussion. Be weary.
 
Feeling better, i can express myself better and my communication skills is better.
I see even when i post on social media i can try to articulate a point a bit better then before.
But still feeling like i was shot in the head, this thing reduce your iq like 30-50 points, i hope i can recover.

Benztropine is awful too. That one makes me extremely angry I cant even tolerate it. Makes your memory that of a person with end stage dementia and horrible horrible dry mouth and eyes and blurred vision.

It's a very strong anticholinergic thats why it sucks so bad. Basically kinda like extra strength benadryl

Thanks for the warning. I'll discuss the amantadine dosage and possible side effects with my doctor next week.

Nice, be prepared most of these doctors are required to do so much when it comes to medicine like this it’ll be guess work off the top of their head. Check for any hesitancy or general statements from your doctor. Doubtful they’ll recognize the potential dangers.
 
I actually had boner from porn , last night I took trazodone for sleep but it didn’t help my sleep but today I could get aroused for first time even though it was muted orgasm , I don’t know if it’s a pill or it’s a good sign I’m recovering sexually , I tested again for testestrone and it was little low, so I hope I have no pssd anymore or and it’s more test problems , I was really losing hope this made me little less agitated , what u guys think

That is a very good sign my man. That means your recovering.

I dont know alot about trazadone except that its both a serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor. One thing i will tell you about this med is watch it if you get a erection that lasts to long. Trazadone can cause priapism and that is why i have never taken it. But in your case it could be helping you so id say keep taking it its worth the risk.

If your test is low enough to get treated then i strongly recommend doing TRT. Im in better shape at 44 then i was at 20 because of it
