Thank you for your reply im really hoping this is the case and im glad to hear we have a similar experience with the shots, how are you feeling with the numbness is it easing?
Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it. So it’s normal just to feel empty and aimless all day i don’t remember it being this bad the first time I could feel like nicotine and stress the first time. But this time i don’t feel a single thing not even anxiety
What was your dosage again?
There's stuff you can try before TRT like yohimbine. Invega likely didn't permanently tank your hormone levels.
Dude, Yayoi Kusama is on antipsychotics and lives in a mental hospital and she's one of the greatest living contemporary artists, but she's on them because she needs to be because she happens to have schizophrenia. I think you misunderstood the law, like, perhaps they can't be forced onto them like we can. She's still making art at 97 by the way, so I bet they take good care of her as one of the GOATs of abstract art and installation art. It would be a shame if she was a drooling zombie, and she isn't. Too much of this medication can ruin lives, but it can also save people in the right hands. I hope her health isn't due to her prestige, everyone should be treated with the same care, and listened to. I have no doubt her feedback has been listened to, since she remains creative and when I saw her in a documentary, she didn't have a tremor either.
How are you feeling? How long has it been
It is easing for me, but very gradually. I’m not back to normal yet, but I can feel that the numbness isn’t as complete as before. Some emotions are starting to come through again, even if they’re still weak and inconsistent
Thats good news! Have you been off the injection long? I can’t imagine what that feels like right now, im sticking to almost keeping away from anything dopamine related as I’ve read it downregulates receptors but right now im just in a chemical straight jacket, I think it was 150/100/100 on the xeplion injections, last one in march but my psychosis was very short this time (I think they put me on this medication because I pissed them off asking to leave early by having this arranged meeting but they drugged me before I went in so I couldn’t talk I kept falling asleep as they said I was really aggressive but I don’t have an aggressive bone in my body so it felt harsh more like a punishment)
It’s been almost 6 months since my last injection (156 mg, 117 mg, and 78 mg). I also relate to that “chemical straight jacket” feeling — it’s a really accurate way to describe it. From what I’ve seen and experienced, things can start to shift slowly over time, even if it feels very static at first. 1.5 months is still quite early, especially after injections
Yes, it's normal to feel this way at 4 months. Your brain is still healing, and lack of motivation is one of the hardest symptoms. You're not lazy. You're not broken. You're recovering
I think antipsychotics dull the mind, although i dont know if it is permanent. My cognition, creativity, big picture thinking, and memory are not the same as before injections.
