How long have you been on antipsychotics?

Glad you have a good psychiatrist.

I was thinking about something like that yesterday.
I have a rare siddhi that allows me to see energy and some time during my recovery I was "seeing my brain", the amount of atrophy, and the scale of the damage; I suddenly felt absolutely crushed and helpless. It was recently that I decided to turn things around, quit alcohol and attempt to heal my own brain through things like meditation and energy work.
I've seen results, believe it or not, but staying on top of my healing is something I am fully committed too and it hasn't been easy. I used to believe that good things were just going to come to me. I rarely ever met my goals without having to simply just walk over to them. I've had a lot of things given to me on the proverbial silver platter.

Just reminiscing still about the potential loss of--what I deem was--20% of my brain mass. If I could paint a detailed picture, I'd share it here for others to see. I can still "see" the damage caused by Invega Sustenna, Risperdal Consta, and especially Vraylar. I'm more than hopeful I'll get this fixed. Sure my story is touching, but whenever it reaches the people who read said history... I hope they try and give a shit.

Yeah my parents and my psychiatrist don’t believe or care about anything that I say. Same here. They don’t think I would ever contribute anything to society. They think I hallucinate everything I do,say,hear, and see. But I understand that it’s a spiritual battle and they are all saints. I will win in the end until Christ returns

It's a lot like trying to explain to people that you were shot while wearing a bullet proof vest, is how I feel.

Since you were 15 or 16? I didn’t even know that was legal. Are you in the U.S.? And how old are you now?

Yeah. U.S. citizen. 32 now.
The medication I was on in high school was used to treat both Bipolar disorder and Schizophrenia. When I was about 17 years old I had a bad psychosis. I wound up with paranoid schizophrenia.
Nowadays I'm labeled as being on the low end of the spectrum (schizotypal).
I don't complain much, since on the low end of the spectrum means less meds.

It was Xeplion injection once a month and a visit to a psychiatrist for a short chat.
Now since my psychiatrist switched me to Solian pills instead of the injections (6 months ago), my only duty is to see the psychiatrist once a month.
He counts on me to take my pills, which I don't.
So all I do is see him once a month now without taking the pills I'm supposed to take.
Technically that makes me med free, but according to them I'm not.
It's a little fucked up to do that I know, but I refuse to ingest those chemicals into my body.

Solian pills are known to cause sexual dysfunction. My psychiatrist told me that too.
If I would've taken them, I probably wouldn't be where I'm at now sexually.
I wouldn't post any improvements like I did recently. I would keep having only few drops coming out if you know what I mean haha
I'm glad I'm not taking it, it lowers testosterone, I don't wanna be and feel like a pu**y.

true I don’t think invega should be given under any circumstances unless the person is actually a threat to others and NOTHING else works but if they need to use invega they should start with the lowest dose 39mg, some drugs like seroquel, latuda, and zyprexa can be useful with minimal side effects for schizophrenia, I got my psychosis from not eating I lost 18 pounds in a month and not sleeping for 5 days (kratom/opioid withdrawal) my family has no history of psychosis as long as I keep my health in check ima be good med free, @UnluckyXeplion Had an episode of psychosis from intense anxiety/stress he doesn’t have schizophrenia so after the episode is over he’d be fine med free that’s why It’s not fucked up he isn’t taking his meds psychiatry did him dirty, @Serhat96 how did you end up with psychosis if you don’t mind sharing with us.

Thank you brother.
Yes, I was med free all my life.
I maintained a job, worked out, did nothing wrong to nobody. Anybody can go through an episode of psychosis, it's unfair to label me schizophrenic...
My sexual function I think is about 75% recovered. I basically waiting for my patience and joy from hobbies to come back and I'll be fulfilled more or less.
