Yes this happened while I was on the medication and shortly after coming off. I would get 3-4 hours of sleep even though I would lay down with my eyes closed for 8-12 hours because I kept waking up. But that too shall pass for you
Yeah I say you stay off of all that even if it's not drug induced psychosis it will help anyone prone to schizophrenia to stay off of all of that. I've heard of people who actually heard voices just stayed clean from everything and workout and they're living a decent life.
It took 9 months until my erections returned and then I could find women attractive again. It was the last thing to come back to me, after the brain fog and emotional numbness had gone first. I say the emotional numbness was the worst, worser than the labido/sexual dysfunction problem. But know its like I have woken up from a bad dream, so happy that this crap is out of my body more or less. Things do get back to normal, it just takes time.
For me sexual dysfunction went away partially (about 65-70%) at 4 months off I can get an erection again and I’m sorta interested in sex but it’s not like pre invega unfortunately I broke my nofap streak of 6 months recently which sucks cause I was hooked on porn heavily and the shit was like cocaine to me I was so disappointed after the relapse I wanted to take my life but I’ve made up my mind I’m not going too. If I made it through the first month of invega hell I can deal with the withdrawals which have always been hell for me that plus invega it’s gonna be a bitch.
Have you recovered fully yet? Did you also have less semen?
This is very good information, and thank you for sharing your very valuable experiences with us. It is very important to note that
It's great to hear your progress, keep updating us. I hope you continue to improve. Exercise counts for a lot!! Keep it up!
Hearing voices while you are awake and lucid that are not real, is not considered "normal" or healthy. And if the voices are telling the person unhelpful or dangerous things, that is considered a mental illness.
From what I have read in these threads over the years, from other people's personal experiences, your sexual function should return with time. I know it's frustrating now, but please try to be patient and have faith that you will recover your sexual function. You're only 5 months off, it may take a few more months for things to begin to return to normal (from what I have read on here).
I have read of other people experiencing this, yes. I don't know the exact reason behind it. What is the extent of your hair thinning? Do you have a genetic link in your family of pattern baldness that could also be contributing? (are you a man or woman?)
It's good to hear that a lot has changed during your time off the site, I hope you have come back with a fresh outlook in this thread.
Honestly I had a healing window about 2 months ago where it was quite easy to cum and the semen volume increased (Still not as it was before the injections).
I must warn you caffeine triggers psychosis and panic attacks on people of this thread.
I know this feeling. I used to be so thirsty for alcohol especially during the holidays. I could swim across a sea for a 24 pack of coronas. Who am I kidding. I'd probably do it for a 12 pack of Budweiser. That's how thirsty I used to be. But i had to learn the hard way that it was only messing me up. And terribly bad at that. And I learned a saying in a rehab I was in. "A chronic user will only quit until something very impactful happens. Or until he is dead" and this is very true in my case. You dont want to know what comes with being lost into addiction. You probably won't make it back. So stay strong and recist the urges and you will prosper by making the choice of being sober.
My bad I guess I assumed because everyone is talking about taking substances when their life and livelihood are on the line. So I thought you were battling some demons in that way. I guess anyone battling those demons I mentioned should take my word for it. Stay sober. And yes I understand, I felt like that as well. Going to thanksgiving dinner and seeing family members enjoy a glass of wine or alcohol while I'm just there. Just alive.
