Some people are saying that antidepressants won’t work or will prolong recovery. Does anyone agree/disagree with this? I’m only a month off invega but was thinking of trying out Effexor

I wouldnt recommend taking anti depressants if you have bipolar only from my perpective. Here's what chat GBT said

"It is not advisable to take antidepressants if you suffer from bipolar disorder without the supervision of a healthcare professional. This is because antidepressants can trigger a manic episode in people with bipolar disorder. A manic episode is a period of abnormally elevated or irritable mood, along with an increase in energy and activity. It can lead to risky or destructive behaviors."
 
Hey guys pls respond to this if it applies to you, Has anyone tried antidepressants post-invega? And did they help?
 
Worship music caused me to break down crying today although I couldn’t feel the emotion intensely within my ♥️ the word and emotions of the person singing caused me to cry intensely.. I’m hoping that’s a sign of my emotions returning.. next month marks 1 year for me..how can we still cry and not connect completely emotionally. I don’t understand how that’s even possible

I think so. It helped a little bit but wasn’t a cure all. I don’t really remember too much about what it helped with but it supposedly was to help with anxiety, mood, and motivation like a combination of those three things. Kind of like a slightly improved feeling is the best way to describe it from what I can remember. Yeah I think short term it helped but long term it didn’t help.

How did you come out of the mania? Did you end up psychosis or did they put you on more meds? Did you have to taper off the Effexor after that? Sorry for all the questions
 
Im almost 3 months off of trinza which is how long its supposed to last and dont feel to bad. My emotions are still blunted and Im not very active. showering feels like a chore. My hair is thinning. But other than that Im good. If I was fit again or at least just skinny Id be happy with my life. The only thing I want is for my body to be fit. Everything else is tolerable. I feel thats possibly a reason for everyone elses suffering to. If you look good you feel good as many would say.

What antipsychotics have you tried? I dont get any actual side effects from zyprexa. Well i might ned a higher dose of a psychedelic to trip but thats about it. It even stops some of the morphine itch i get.

I wouldnt take invega or abilify again though fuck them. They shuld only be used when literally nothing else works. I would just take thorazine if i got that bad as ive had that before and its actually good when mixed with morphine.

I came out of mania by being put on meds.
I had to taper the Effexor for one day and then was taken off it.
No problem :)

Why were you put on trinza?

I’m glad you’re coping with this so well.

Don’t worry about the pounds, they will inevitably come off and you’ll be fit again. My apetite is back to normal, I don’t feel like eating all the time anymore no cravings for sugar either. I’m back to exercising, but still can’t do high volume. I can run if I push myself, energy drinks help even if it’s just placebo because I don’t feel caffeine yet.

Anybody (men) having sex on a regular basis? How is your sensitivity, libido, arousal, orgasm, stamina, etc? I’m afraid of commitment now because I don’t think I can deliver the goods on a regular basis. Invega is more of a castration than lobotomy in my view.

Only problems I have left are libido and substances. At least libido can be resolved with cialis/viagra for the time being. But if it doesn’t resolve I’ll be devastated. Might have to consider trt after this. I’m going to do nofap first and hope for the best.

It's both
 
I did a cognitive asessment test for a job I applied for, went well. I’m in the next round. The numbers wasn’t anything complicated, but the word associations and shapes stuff was challenging.

If I get this job I’m moving out of town to finish my cpa.
