I struggle with this too.
There are usually 3 reasons:
1.) Boredom
2.) Horny
3.) Sexual images on tv/internet

I try to do the following instead:
1.) Work out/gym/exercise
2.) Play video games
3.) Read books
4.) Socialize
5.) Chores/house work

Working out especially helps get rid of horny feelings and boosts dopamine.
I think it's different for men
 
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.

One should be able to live with their voice. If someone does something criminal there is law to fix that. But punishing someone for having voices is unfair if the person has not done anything criminal.
 
Nah I was not I was still pre invega 2 months before but when I was quitting masterbation I had bad withdrawals so I took kratom to ease them so I could still function enough to workout and go hang out with my homies but then my depression got worse from masterbation withdrawal and I started taking like 35 grams of kratom a day which led to psychosis. I’ve always been sucessful with quitting masterbation while sober but whenever I’d smoke weed id get horny and relapse so I quit weed too, my last relapse however was due to seeing a lot of sexual imagines online I thought since I hadn’t masterbated in so long I’d be fine looking at it I was dumb asl.
Wow that's crazy I mean I can believe it though. I've had similar experiences while on several substances at once.

Actually yesterday after eating McDonald's I felt the urge to masterbate. But thank god my cats where in my room because I felt bad to do it in front of them or to kick them out of my room just to do it. So that gave me the strength to keep going fap-free and break the fast food and masterbation cycle. However the mikey d's i did consume made my peripheral neuropathy worse and made my stomach and head hurt. So to break that I have to fight the urge to eat fast food. It's just so easy because I just order it on doordash or uber eats.
 
I really don’t think masterbation and fast food is going to send you into psychosis! Most of the world would be in psychosis if that was the case!
It is if I eat it and masterbate lol its happened numerous times. Just these passed two I had to be hospitalized. that's why I haven't relapsed into psychosis because I've been strong.

Masterbation and fast food alone wouldn’t send you in psychosis I agree but it can definitely send you into depression that’s what led to my drug use and psychosis.

Yes I witnessed this. So I agree with you bro if you proved it 3 or 4 times in a row and now you're recovered because of abstaining from fast food and masterbation then you're probably on to something. For sure
 
So people have actually recovered sexually from invega? I wish I had the urge to masterbate and feel horny lol
Oh yes (well risperidone, rather than it's active metabolite, paliperidone). I was lucky enough to meet a woman with a libido that fixed that (shit, I married her!). Once it also became obvious she loved weed and stimulants, things turned into a modern day, Roman-esque orgy of excess 😁

It's one of the basic human drives. It may flag (esp with age), but is always there to be revived, as long as you haven't had them chopped off!

I’ve recovered it quite a bit 4 months off although it’s not like pre invega
 
You don't end your life for masturbating, you simply try again.
I miss being horny and masturbating, I would be very happy to have it back already!
The thing with me though is my masterbation addiction was a very destructive thing in my life and it’s given me severe depression either way tho ima try quitting and my powering through it
 
Basically my last injection of Invega was November 2021 with a total of 17 shots…then I went on Geodon which basically made me bed ridden from January 2022 to August 2022 slept so much and felt so shitty all the time….then switched to 20mgs of latuda and started to become really active lost weight…and recently just signed up for a gym membership. I’ve been doing 1 hour of cardio and some weights but still fluctuate between 116lbs and 114lbs and can’t get any lower than that! It’s super frustrating! All my friends are hitting personal bests at the gym and getting so ripped and lean and I just stay at this sorta skinny but not quite ripped stage. It’s super annoying! I know it’s the latuda that’s making me hang on to extra weight but for now I have to stay on it. I feel like my overall performance at the gym has gotten better though and I still feel like the side effects of the last two medications Invega and geodon are wearing off. If I eat super clean, barley nothing throughout the day I can get hit 114lbs!
 
You’re so lucky you were able to lose so much weight while still on meds !
I’m struggling to lose even after 9 months off with moderate exercise and dieting. I have like 15 pounds to lose and nothing works.
I don’t know how much longer I have to wait before my metabolism goes back to normal and I start losing weight 😞

Have you managed to lose the weight since you’re off 18 months and working out?
 
Yup...i was 71 kg 1 year ago now im 64-65...also i look kinda good tho...im 34 but i look better than my mid 20s...thats another interesting stuff lol.
 
Even though I've had 4 years worth of those injections total, I seem to have achieved some sort of whole 'nother level or something. <edited out triggering content - SMod> but right now I'm actually doing pretty good..I'm stronger now in all ways than I probably ever have been before actually, and my social skills can be on point right now pretty much whenever I want them to be too, and I also seem to be able to just talk shit right now you can also say too like nobody's business..
