hey guys, second or third time getting genuinely high on just weed, it works! But it does feel different, I guess the high is probably lacking the dopamine, but it’s still a nice change of pace. And alcohol works, same thing, feels like it’s missing dopamine, but also kinda nice. Wasn’t expecting to feel either, but I still do hope that as I recover the high goes back to regular. Fingers crossed.
 
I find it harder to deal with cold weather since getting the injections, it might be due to hormone imbalance... any thoughts on this?
 
So i watched an episode of dr phil today. In the episode it was talking about a 14 year old kid who does not go to school and just plays videogames 14 hours a day, he also wont shower everyday.

I was watching the episode thinking hes like a videogame addict. But then the mom was naming all the medications hes on and she said he is on latuda. Latuda is an antipsychotic. I think he might be feeling like shit all the time and have no energy cause of the med hes on. No one in the comment section saying anything about him being on antipsychotics.

Here is the episode here

I used to be like sort of a spoiled brat little bitch type of kid too at one point, but yeah the psych drugs probably are just making things worse, and going to mainstream public school can really suck too so I get it as well.
 
Here's a video of comedian Joey Diaz that's kind of funny and motivational, warning: language..heh..

 
I FUCKING HATE having to even take medicine like this in the first place!!!!

Why THE FUCK couldn’t I just remain normal and not fuck up myself to the point where I even got these prescribed. I AM A SHELL of my former self. I hate who I am and want to die. This IS PURE SICKENING seeing how much my life has dropped off. I’ve lost my friends. Life is utterly POINTLESS if I can’t reach my FUCKING MAXIMUM potential. FUCK THIS SHIT! Less than 1% of Americans with this devastating mental illness?!!???? Why THE FUCK CANT THAT BE THE TOP 1% OF INCOME!

This feels like a curse and one I would much be happier dead or in an alternate universe. Fuck this god damn sickening existence. My life was PURE SHIT before the meds AND NOW ITS SCUM!

I don’t deserve to be here and I hope to god I did off.

Same exact shit for me. I’m just hoping if I hold out things will eventually start feeling easier. I don’t even want 100% anymore because I feel like that will never happen. No personality, no emotions, can’t work, I can barely help my grandma with chores around the house and I feel like that’s the least I could do.

Keep going bro, you got this.
 
Weaned down to 39 mg from 156 over the course of a year. Last 39 mg shot was may 24. I’ve been off for 5 months but ended at a low dose so I think it left me faster.

I’m feeling much better. I’m busy and getting things done. My cognitive is much improved. I’m sleeping less but feel rested (I could sleep for 11 hours on INVEGA and never feel rested.) I have sexual interest in my gf again. I have emotions and energy for my relationships.

I would say I’m 90% recovered after 5 months off of the lowest dose.

Every time I went down a dose I felt better and then about 5 months off, I feel back to being myself!

Hang in there guys, it will happen for you too!

5 months? You might be lying to yourself. Or you forgot your baseline brain.

No. I was down to 39 mg for the last 4 months of my treatment. I was already feeling better cognitively and having little bits of energy getting to the lowest dose. Coming off completely has been the biggest change. But I came from a very low dose so it left my system faster. I was already 2 half life’s ahead of someone who was coming off of 156.
