i wish there was an alternative but if you're set on this decision then i can't stop you. i remember your posts from when i was first here in 2024 on my original account but i was forced to delete it during hospitalization. your posts were helpful and thanks for your time here.
Well, at this point assisted suicide is an option that gives me peace but I will wait longer since I am not as tortured.
Brother its called cialis. Works wonders.
Dear Nina, I'm really sorry
It's a delicate matter, but I really hope you can stay with us. All my prayers to you
I have a theory the weight gain is a result of the drug causing slower metabolism. Cant you guys just eat less?
I lost the ability to cry from being on an injection for a year. Was back when I was on a CTO
I'm really sorry you're going through this. Six years without recovery sounds absolutely devastating and tragic. I understand how hopeless it can feel, I had my last Invega injections 17 months ago, and the first 12 months were pure hell. I could barely think straight or remember anything. It was terrifying.
SOme emotions are back, others come and go, and some emotions are still missing. I would say 70% is back.
@Nina2021 are you saying you got better recently?
I Have lost sexual function too. But i can still get erect even though it can never be continous. Libido fluctuates from being dead for most days to being higher one day. Have you lost all function completely?
Thank you for answering. Honestly, hearing that some emotions came back for you — even partially — gives me hope. The fact that they can return gradually, even if inconsistently, is really encouraging to hear.
I just took Adderall and i still don't feel anything 9 months and 12 days, what you think could it mean?Well I was already diagnosed as mentally ill with the ADHD lol, when I was in PHP I just told the program’s psychiatrist I take vyvanse, and he could see my medical records to verify so he filled my script along with the invega shots. I got all of them in my arm. I had been taking vyvanse for over a year before my psychotic episode, and before that I was on adderall for a year so they weren’t really worried about me abusing them, and since I was taking an antipsychotic with it they weren’t concerned about psychosis either.
Months 5-8 I noticed it working only occasionally, my usual signs that it’s working were the physical symptoms like heart rate. My psychiatrist actually raised my dose to 70mg, the largest dose allowed to be prescribed and I still didn’t feel much, so it was lowered back down to 50mg. I was prescribed bupropion 3 months ago as well, I’m not sure if this contributed to me feeling vyvanse again though.
My job doesn’t deal with computers or math at all, it’s all hands on but requires me to focus on one task for over an hour at a time (was really hard for me before without feeling like I was being tortured mentally), and doing multiple things at once while keeping track of the timing of everything (helps me not feel overwhelmed with the amount of things I’m doing).
I’ve always done a lot of research on things though, and even though I may not know how to code, I’m able to do complex things on the computer if I find instructions, learned from playing Minecraft as a child lol.
I’m autistic as well, wasn’t diagnosed until I was an adult and only after my ADHD diagnosis though. I can’t speak for dyslexia since I don’t have it, but I know it’s not curable and you aren’t dumb
The last time he wrote, he mentioned having serious problems with sleep. I hope he's okay..
I’m really sorry that you’ve had to suffer for such a long time. Even reading your post, it’s obvious how exhausting and painful this journey has been for you.
I’m not sure, adderall for me was always more hit or miss than vyvanse since adderall enters your bloodstream in a different way. Are you eating before taking your dose? Something high in protein? Are you sure you’re feeling nothing? Not feeling euphoria doesn’t mean the medicine isn’t working. I feel like for me the ability to feel vyvanse was gradual since it was something I only noticed working over time
