Lucky you, you can definitely workout, it's a good problem. But for me, barely eating won't give me muscle gains.

ya I was able to get back to the gym gain strength and lift more weight at the end of month 2 but I couldn’t gain any muscle tone probably cause of how invega changes hormones it was better then not being able to lift at all though I started gaining noticeable muscle tone at month 5.
 
Compared to chemical synapses, electrical synapses conduct nerve impulses faster, but, unlike chemical synapses, they lack gain—the signal in the postsynaptic neuron is the same or smaller than that of the originating neuron. This is why brain doesn't use electrical synapses for dopamine/serotonine/adrenaline/and other chemical neurotransmitter based systems.
Chemical synapses are capable of amplifying and modulating the signal by changing the release of neurotransmitters(neurotransmitter chemicals), the number and sensitivity of receptors on the receiving neuron, and other factors. This allows for more complex and precise control over neuronal activity, which can be important for processes such as learning and memory.
.
One reason why electrical synapses lack gain compared to chemical synapses is that they allow for the direct, rapid, and reliable transmission of electrical signals between neurons. However, they do not have the ability to amplify or modulate these signals, which means that they cannot increase the strength or fidelity of the signal in the same way that chemical synapses can.
.
Maybe human brains evolve to start using electrical synapses instead of chemical ones, because of what is happening to people like us, but it would likely result in a more primitive and less refined emotional processing system.

Haven’t been dreaming a ton lately tbh and if I do I forget about them when I was first on paliparadone I would have very intense vivid dreams but they went away.

when I was in my psychosis I thought the psych ward was a place where people got judged either they die and go to heaven or hell, or theyre allowed to leave and go back to earth in my psychotic state I thought I was sent there cause the system caught onto me being a criminal (I’m not a violent criminal but in my delusional state I thought I was cause I thought playing video games meant you were controlling another world and I played lots of shooter games) and they would decide my fate I thought they were trying to send me to hell one of the guards walked up to me and was like “Merek you know were supposed to throw you out the window right” he said it in a calm tone like they wouldn’t do it if I cooperated with them, that shit made me believe my delusions even more it felt like some people there could read my mind I do believe some humans have the ability to read other peoples minds but only a select few some people might think I’m psychotic saying that but there was just too many incidents like for example I thought in my mind I think this guys mad at me cause of something I did and every time I thought of that he’d say out loud “you think I care about that bro” it happened like 10 times, there was also a few times where I had the delusion in my head that I was gonna change the world but it felt so hard to do so I’d think in my head “maybe all this shit isn’t worth it” then these two guys would look at me every time and throw their arms up like they were so disappointed.

This is not surprising as the shrinks and doctors and nurses in the psych ward tend to be very judgmental

As far as I know, you hold on to your directive and present it to the hospital or doctors if you are ever admitted. I gave my mom a copy just in case I am unable to communicate for myself. I'm pretty sure that handing out your directive before anything is happening would be futile and it would probably just get tossed in the garbage.

I was referred to a website call MyDirectives and it is very useful. It is mainly for medical advance directives but you have the option of uploading a PDF of your mental health advance directive. It allows you to choose 1, 2, 3, or however many other people to be able to view and/or print the directive in case you find yourself incapacitated. It's a free service so I don't think there will be a problem posting a link here since no one will profit from it.

That’s not true at all, my doctor told me to put one in place. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Actually three doctors told me to put one in place.

Well it might help for sure but as far as i know it is not legally binding. A good shrink might go by what you suggest though. I think im going to get my shrink to help me draw up one anyway.

The best thing is to get treatment before you get bad enough to be institutionalized. But that's often not possible especially in places like where i live in Canada where there are no shrinks, Not even private ones

I havent gained any real weight from it so far. Well at first i did put on about 5lbs but i lost that by cutting out soda and working out with heavy weights. Sorry you got akathisia from it though that fucking sucks. I got akathisia or td from latuda bad dunno which.

I think if i have to go off zyprexa i might give loxapine a try as it does look promising.
 
I feel like exercise weight lifting, running releases more invega into your system could this be true? I just had a play fight with my nephew and I feel like I just got injected with 1000mg of invega does these activities effect how you feel? If so how does it make you feel?
