Oh believe me psychosis is very real I took 34 grams of kratom per day and quit cold turkey cause of that I didn’t sleep for 5 days and went into psychosis I’ll try to recall my psychosis the best possible but it’s very foggy since I barely slept for 3 weeks, I remember I was super paranoid thinking the cartels, police, and doctors were tryna kill me, I thought that I was multiple people and people I’d see on tv were me from the future, I thought that everything I did in grand theft auto I did in real life. There’s more too it but it’s very foggy.

Crazy shit you went through. I still think it is wrong to call it psychosis because you give them power if you do. <edited out misinformation - SMod> I just wish true healing and medicine for humanity and that would be psychedelics spelled out

Not really trying to argue about this, but yeah psychosis is real. People can do all sorts of wild things because of delusional thinking. Psychosis is just the universal term for this behavior.

If psychosis isn't "real", then what do you call that?

I am not trying to argue either but I would call psychosis for being astray?

Well if we're both not trying to argue lol that's fine I will just disagree that a psychotic episode is more intense than simply being astray, and in many cases requires intervention, medical or otherwise, to prevent harm to the individual or others.

There are other methods to prevent harm. Imprisoning is just wrong. Everything has to be voluntary in my opinion
 
I miss hearing a good song in repeat in my head. I used to hear all kind of songs in my head when growing up as a teenager into my early youth. That has been long gone ever since psychiatry. Maybe when I am healed I will catch a good song in my head again and be able to smoke weed again
 
I’m 5 months & 6 days off, but I feel worse than ever. Cognitively I’m a LITTLE better, but physically it’s like every cell in my body is screaming. My back and neck hurt so bad I can barely stand to move, my skins uncomfortable, my muscles ache, nose runs constantly, & my hands shake and go numb and tingly. I’m gonna guess it’s the withdrawal getting worse because the majority of the Invega is out of my system, but who knows. I feel worse than I did even during full blown IV fentanyl & methadone withdrawal.

Also, very heavily considering quitting THC. When I smoke now, I almost always get this feeling I’m about to have a panic attack, or that I’m losing my mind (even though my thoughts are pretty normal, I just think “I feel weird, is this it? Am I losing my mind?”) & when high my mind goes to dark places & I ruminate about everything that could go wrong with me & my family. Could be from the weed being “less blocked” and more intense, but I dunno.

Honestly I never had issues of muscle aches or head pressure like others report.
My main problems are infertility, inability to think deep thoughts or come to deep conclusions, boredom and lack of patience to activities I used to love...
I guess everyone is different when it comes to side effects, but most suffer from similar things.
I'm 4 months and 17 days off and only recently my patience have improved a little, so it's less boring for me now.
Lets see where it goes in a month from now.

Wishing you the best.

Btw, do you get high or euphoria from weed?

I’ve got the same issues with the problems thinking, boredom & lack of patience!

But yeah, I get pretty high from weed, but it makes my mind really cloudy, & I don’t get euphoria.

I'm not surprised that euphoria isn't there, the spiritual connection to everything is lost, if you know what I'm sayin'.

That lack of patience is a pretty nasty one, I feel like I wanna do something, but once I sit down and do it, I lose my patience for it entirely. Only recently it got better, but still a long way to go.

While I agree that simply imprisoning someone in mental crisis is wrong, assuming a person experiencing a psychotic episode will just sit back and voluntarily check into a hospital or even just pop a pill is also kind of a far-fetched idea.

I know when I was deep in psychosis, I didn't think any of my thinking was out of place because what I was thinking was my reality or at least my perception of reality. Since I didn't know or think I was psychotic, why would I take meds? Why would I even go to see a psychiatrist or check in to inpatient treatment? Do you catch what I'm saying?

Like @deficiT said, sometimes an intervention of some sort is necessary to persuade an individual that no, they are not being followed by CIA or that cameras and microphones are installed all over the place. But when you thinks it's real, voluntary is sometimes a tall order. Like I said, outright imprisonment is wrong but sometimes creative solutions are needed that don't involve imprisonment of course.
 
Anyone have any ideas how invega even causes sexual dysfunction like low semen volume? Like how does a drug like invega and risperidone even do something like that?

Libido problems from dopamine antagonism make sense but low semen volume doesn't even make sense how it happens. And no it's not prolactin, my and other's prolactin is normal and they still have this problem.

If we can figure out how invega does things like this then maybe we can find a cure.

If weed is making you feel bad, then yes, you should probably stop smoking it. If it's not serving you any good purpose, why persist using it?

This is so unfair! Weed works on you but not on me. But you should quit weed if it does not serve you
