Has anyone started gym and building muscle hows your energy levels and recovery from building muscle and gainz?
My energy levels are good but not great at the gym. It is harder to motivate myself to go. My workouts aren’t as intense as when I worked out pre-invega. Working out also hasn’t helped me recover. I feel the same as I did 2 months ago. It does put me in a better mood though.
 
I miss weed and shrooms. Coke every once in a while. That stinks you still can’t feel substances.
I think these will be the last things to recover to be honest. Do you think it’s related to the anhedonia? Like when we are no longer anhedonic, only then will we be able to feel substances? I have an underlying fear that I will never feel substances the way I used to. Have never done shrooms, or coke before invega. I miss being euphoric on weed but I prefer hash it’s a milder buzz. Only smoke once in a blue moon

I miss the euphoric feeling of weed as well. I think not being able to feel substances has to do with the receptors in the brain being blocked. All the drugs I mentioned earlier increase dopamine. So it would make sense that most of the drugs are blocked since the receptors in the brain are being blocked. Once the receptors clear of invega, I think we’ll be able to feel substances again.
 
Like my friend said, if you can’t feel substances how could you possibly feel emotions, they go through the same pathways.

How has Invega been treating you guys lately ?
I have a routine and schedule, I try to stick to my daily tasks and be productive. Weekends suck when there’s no more partying. I try to do other things like go to the beach. Football season is over, now I need new hobbies. At least I’m losing weight and exercise regularly that’s gotten better
 
I dont get it ya'll complaning about not feeling drugs, missing drugs do you want to go back on Invega or something? Cant you just stay away from illegal substances, theyre illegal for a reason...

I think they’re fine in moderation. My psychosis wasn’t drug induced. I need something to unwind now and then. I wish I was as strong as you.
 
Anybody made vacation plans for the summer? I’ll be travelling Spain and Morocco. Should be nice to do some sightseeing and sampling the cuisine. I can still enjoy the taste of wine even though it doesn’t make me tipsy

I’m going to Spain,the Canary Islands, and Bermuda a little later this year. I hope I’ll be able to enjoy it

My psych prescribed me zhyprexa pills to take with me. He says they kick in fast in case I take a turn for the worse. I doubt I will need them. My psychosis gets worse when I’m isolated with my thoughts. I’m better around people, but definitely need some alone time to unwind and process stimuli. I’m kind of introvert in that way. But I go looney if I have too much alone time

Shit I’ve been alone for almost 4 years now. It’s really no problem for me. At this point. I like being alone. I don’t really care for the isolation part though but I guess that’s a part of it

It’s not healthy to be alone long term. Psychological problems skyrocketed during the pandemic. Lack of sunshine and social contact gets me very depressed. So glad it is summer
