Is that how you would define it? Genuinely curious. I was and am working. Restlessness disappeared fast. They switched me to another ap at a lower dose and it worked.

Lots of work and school took up my time, so it's hard to say, not more than a few months. None of it's magic really. It takes a lot of agency. Again a lot of the work takes place in the background. Even having a hobby helps. I was busy all the time mostly. I was also around people a lot, which really helps also. Sooner or later if you can still try then you'll reach your goals. The only way you can't is thinking you can't and making it impossible.

I understand you, but everyone is different. A lot of people want to work or study fields that need high cognition like tech, that need high processing abilities. From what I see and read, this poison cause brain damage and shrink the frontal lobe, so I cannot believe the same like you.

I am almost 12 months in bed with severe anhedonia. I cant study or do hobbies when I have zero dopamine. I try do what I can and sometimes meet friends, but its not that simple for everyone.

When people say they recovered but they take unemployment money and stay in bed all day, I have doubts if they really recovered 100%. They might have extra brain damage they don't even know about.

Yeah we are all unique. Very much so. Agreed.

Can you link your source(s) about it shrinking the brain? I'm wondering about the research on that. I know that the illness it's supposed to treat can shrink the brain, from what I've read more than antipsychotic treatment. Not to judge though.

I'm trying to appreciate what you're going through. If you had zero dopamine then you couldn't function at all. It's a lot harder than it sounds, I know. I don't know exactly what you're going through, but I went through my own version of it and was able to come back from it, so if I could do it then anyone can. That's just my belief.

Recent studies from recent years (such as long-term neuroimaging follow-up studies published in JAMA Psychiatry and Molecular Psychiatry) indicate that prolonged use of antipsychotic medications, especially at high doses, may be associated with a slight reduction in brain volume (primarily in gray matter).
Key Sources and Literature
Below are evidence-based sources from the medical literature for further reading:
Longitudinal & Imaging Studies (JAMA Psychiatry / Archives of General Psychiatry):
Ho et al. (2011) – "Progressive Brain Volume Changes During the Early Course of Schizophrenia" (published in Archives of General Psychiatry). A long-term follow-up study showing a correlation between cumulative antipsychotic dose and changes in gray and white matter volume.
Meta-Analyses & Review Studies (Molecular Psychiatry / Schizophrenia Bulletin):
Radua et al. (2015) – "Voxel-based meta-analysis of grey matter changes in first-episode schizophrenia" (published in Schizophrenia Bulletin). Examines brain volume changes in first-episode psychosis patients compared to the effect of treatment.
Fusar-Poli et al. (2013) – "Progressive brain changes in schizophrenia: a meta-analysis of structural MRI studies" (published in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews). Analyzes structural brain change progression and evaluates medication effect versus disease effect.

He know AP’s shrink the brain, cause severe mental and physical effects and it cause functional brain damage, his job as a moderator inside this thread is to keep people respecting rules and maybe also keep them alive by giving some hope.

As you can see every moderator here is still on AP’s or heavy street drugs, there are very few people who din’t had psychosis but got injected anyways, as far as i remember right me, matthew and someone else who i can’t remember the name due to the severe cognitive fog/deficit due to the injections.

I was at your place at 13 months, it was september of 2025, i joined this thread and they keept telling me “you will recover, it take times, stay busy, we alll heal in different timelines”.

You have post neuroleptic syndrome or NIDS (Neuroleptic Induced Deficit Syndrome), actually NIDS only refer to cognitive issue but the reality is that NIDS have impact on almost everything, someone can only have cognitive deficits, someone else can have cognitive deficits with vision issues with tinnitus with no strenght to even brush his how teeth and a complete loss of basic function..

NIDS it’s a sweet way to call the brain damage, because saying “functional brain damage due to AP’s injections” don’t sound good at all.

Everyone Who have persistent sympthoms 2-3 months after the injections has the NIDS, not every NIDS is the same, some are softer, other are harder and more complex.
 
I've been healed on every level but the physical. My emotions are all back. My connection to everything & everyone I love is back. I'm enjoying the heck out of baths again. Food is great again. Drinks are great again. My love of music is back!!! Thank God!!! And most importantly, my hope & faith is fully restored! Praise the Lord!!!

The Most-High Spirit of LOVE performed a MIRACLE!!! Receive & Believe!!! If I could heal, anybody can heal. I was six feet under & then some, buried beneath the wreckage of two jabs of Invega Sustenna, highly suicidal for 18+ months, even having bought a helium tank, plastic tube, oven bags & duct tape to asphyxiate myself. I was done, Ya' all!!! My life was over!!!

Jesus, Yeshua Mashiach, Wonderful, Counselor or whatever Name above all names you want to use, pulled me from the flames, found me in the deepest, darkest abyss of HELL & decided it was time for me to get back home & back to the business of His Way, Truth & Life!

Anyway, I'll stop yapping. If you're turned off by Jesus' name, please understand, He is not the person that He is portrayed to be by organized religion! Whether purposely or not, they got Him all wrong!!! Church is a business. Jesus ain't about that sh*t! He's about patience & kindness, mercy & grace, forgiveness & love-love-love!!! He's a gentle-man, gentle as a lamb, Ya' all.

Take another peek, see for yourself... JC wants to HEAL you too!!!

Ciao & Shalom, my friends. It's ALL looking up from this point forward!!! Amen & a Hallelujah too!!! Sincerely & truly, your Friend & a fellow Psych Drug Sufferer/Warrior,
🔥
Daniel David Lattarulo

Dude, you're SO Full of Sh*t!!! God bless you, but you need to quit all your demonic spirit, weakening NONSENSE! Stop ALL your hatin' on people, places & things & maybe your LIFE will improve!!! Truly, Bro, I care, so get yourself right with The Most-High Spirit, receive Her LOVE from ABOVE & you'll realize you've been hangin' with The Most-Low Spirit for far too long, probably since birth. Sound Good? Anyway, Ciao & Shalom, my man, sincerely, 🔥 Dan ~ P.S. Where are you from & what's your real name? Are you courageous enough to open up & come clean? Later Gator, 🤪 Me
