I don't know what do do anymore, I feel like giving up on life already. Once I had reached the point where I regained the ability to nearly sleep normally once again, I began seeing other gradual improvements as well. Despite what I was experiencing I remained hopeful that over the course of time that I'd continue seeing many steady signs of recovery, until I could one day experience life once again the way I could prior. That's how I had felt until just 3 days ago, where for seemingly no explainable reason my sexual side effects had suddenly become very severe, I also feel more lethargic, less energetic, and weaker in comparison to just a week ago. I haven't taken any other meds of that kind since so I can't understand what would cause this to occur all of a sudden. A week prior although I still hadn't fully recovered I had made an immense improvement from where it once was shortly after the injection.

Incase you find this topic sensitive or too detailed you can skip this but I went from being almost sexually normal again to having a completely dead libido, inability to obtain or maintain an erection, feel little to no pleasure from doing it, and have very weak and delayed orgasms where I produce almost no semen now. I've also been experiencing constant testicular pain since. Technically speaking I suppose I could live a life free of masturbation or sex for the rest of my life but that would be extremely miserable and depressing, especially for a once healthy guy with a high libido/high testosterone in his early 20's. I haven't thought about committing suicide since the first 3 or so months when I had severe insomnia but I'm highly considering it again, I don't want to live the rest of my life like this. Suddenly what masamune has been claiming doesn't seem so absurd, I can't understand why I went from gradually recovering to suddenly getting worse overnight despite the discontinuation of such meds.
Yeah, it really isn’t invega. I’ve had a few days where my sexual function returned 100% and disappeared and had ED again. It’s not invega. We are on some shit list and getting targeted with drugs in a covert way. Trust me everyone.

MAN IT IS THE SHOT. STUDY ITS MECHANISM.IT IS THE FUCKING SHOT
It’s not the shot. My libido returned 100% then went away. The shot can’t do that after 11 months.

Hopefully this forum wakes up and stops blaming invega.

How would they be covertly doing this to us though ? You buy your food from the same stores as everyone else no?

Maybe it’s just your brain kind of stuttering as it attempts to make the required changes. I don’t know what else it could be ? Hopefully it passes soon hang on in there …

He is paranoid this is the exact way I was thinking when I was psychotic that I’m special targeted by the government. The truth is nobody cares who you are just another person. Just live your life free of worries there is nobody after you. @masamune1 you need to learn how to relax bro all of this is in your head, you are worrying for nothing.

Paranoid? Dude, I had so many different effects to my brain the last 11 months. I am 100% sure that it is not the shot making me feel this way at this point and I don’t give a shit if you call me paranoid.

You’re right on one thing, no one is really special to get targeted by the government. Believe me, I don’t view it that way.

The government is pretty big on data though, and to me it would be reasonable that we are all test subjects to this new and absurd technology.

I am the last person to be paranoid. In fact, if you think it’s invega sustenna causing all these problems you are very dumb. The clinical effects only last 1 month, and after that, there will still be invega in your blood but it won’t be enough to cause it’s intended effect, which is mild sedation.

I’m not special. I’m just screwed if this doesn’t stop. I’m literally being hurt and abused and there’s no end in sight.

Go ahead with your theory that invega sustenna lasts for a year - doctors will look at you like a fool.

Dude your logic is that they’re posining us through food from the supermarket, get your head straight, seriously. There is no covert way we are being sedated, it’s the shot obviously. Invega causes these kind of side effects. You are paranoid bro, I say this with the most care and respect because I’ve been there. Nobody could convince me otherwise. I hope for your sake that you realize this. Please be wise enough to listen to advice

That’s not my logic. My logic is that I am 100% ruling out that it’s the shot causing all these problems. Do you get me now?

Now, since I’m making a claim that I’m targeted covertly, I wouldn’t be able to know exactly how I am being drugged.

It could be drugs in foods, or it could be a silicon chip that gets ingested which holds different combinations of drugs that are released on schedule. Or it could be something else.

But my logic is that it’s not invega sustenna. So stop trash talking when I am actually being logical.
 
Having my second EMDR therapy today, I’m looking forward to it, the first one went well. Hopefully this will help me move on and heal from trauma I’ve been dealing with especially stuff that came up after getting off Risperdal. Hope everyone has a great day and continues to recover <3
How did it go? I would love to hear an update on your EMDR therapy <3

Afraid not, weed has played a role in both my psychotic episodes and I'm staying off the stuff for life now.
That is really good to hear that you know that weed was your trigger and that you're staying away from it now. Weed is not good for my brain either, I have to stay very far away from THC.

And how do you noticed it during your routine? Do you got any examples? It was like, you got excited to watch some TV show, this kind of stuff?
I've been off antipsychotics 5 weeks. I'm afraid that I'm not improving because my days aren't getting easier. :(
As others have said, 5 weeks is still very early in your recovery. Please give yourself more time to heal and recover, you will begin to get some feelings back. It just takes time <3

I was in a party in a big club, with friends. Took 3/4 MDMA. Then started to feel paranoic as hell, started to think that people behind me was sending me negative energy, lol. Then I got out of the club running and started to feel chased. I thought the show/party was some kind of satanic ritual. Then outside the club I thought everyone was staring at me with devil eyes. Then I entered in some kind of spiritual battle where every person was a demon, started praying. I stayed in the front on my friend's car, sweating alot and completely paranoid. This lasted about 5-6 hours. Then we got to our house and I was thinking they were going to kill me.
I called my brother (was in another city), when I talked to him though cellphone my paranoid vanished and I came back to reality.
Started meds because the experience was really traumatic, was like completely hell for 6 hours straight. Then I was with fear of dark, loud noises, fear of sleeping, fear of staying close to people.. Next week I got two attacks like this but way less intense/severe. Lasted like 15-20 minutes but I kinda know what was happening. Due to that I decided to take risperidone.
This wasn't my first psychosis, I had one in 2015 after taking thermogenic and having sleeping privation (couldn't sleep). Felt paranoid for 1-2 weeks and then had a episode. Took risperidone for 1,5 years but didn't developed anhedonia.

P.S.: I only took oral medication, 3 months risperidone and 3 weeks Abilify, been off 5 weeks. Didn't got injected.
That is good you only took the oral version of risperidone and Abilify, that means they will be out of your system faster than if you were injected with them. But unfortunately, 5 weeks is still early days in your recovery. Please hang in there <3

I’m out enjoying my birthday it’s a nice distraction
HAPPY BIRTHDAY @Kiaf85 !!! :cheer: Sorry I'm a bit late, but happy belated birthday!! I am so glad to hear you got to go out to enjoy yourself. What did you get up to for your birthday?

HE IS NOT DELUSIONAL BRO FOR FUCK SHAKE
HE IS 100% SELLING TRUE FACTS
THIS DRUGS MECHANISM IS FAR BEYOND UNDERSTANDING. WHO THE FUCK GETS INJECTED AND FEELS LIKE SHIT FOR MORE THAN A YEAR OR TWO. FUCK OFF. THIS SHIT IS NEUROTOXIC. I DONT THINK MICROCHIPS WOULD BE AS BAD AS THIS FUCKING POISONUS DRUG MECHANISM. MY BRAIN IS FUCKING FRIED. I CANT EVEN TALK TO PEOPLE NORMALLY. ALL I CAN DO IS LAI ON MY FUCKING BED THINKING IF THIS WILL EVEN HAVE AN END SOMEHOW. FUCKING SHIT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO RECOCER AS WELL AS ALL THE PEOPLE THAT TOOK AN AP SHOT WHENEVER IN THEIR LIFES. WHY TF YOU THINK YOU ARE DIFFERENT?? SERIOUSLY!!? ARE YOU A DISCIPUL OF GOD, JESUS? FUCKK OFF MEN
Please refrain from typing in all caps. It is really off-putting. Any future posts typed in all caps will be deleted.

I feel like I should mention that the book I'm writing is autobiographical and the later chapters will be about invega sustenna. If I can get it published, it might raise some awareness of what we're all going through.
That is fucking awesome of you to be doing that!! I wish you all the best with it. I think it is a really important piece that you are writing, it will be really beneficial to get your story out there for others to read <3

@masamune1 please, no more discussion of being microchipped or being covertly controlled or targeted by the government. You are NOT making sense, as multiple other people in this thread have said, your talk of this is delusional and paranoid. Big red flags for entering or being in psychosis. You really need to see your psychiatrist and talk about this. But please do not post any more about this microchipping or government control malarky. It is nonsense. Consider this a soft-warning. If we see you make any more posts about this nonsense, fear-mongering, delusional ideation, the content will be deleted and you will receive an official warning. PLEASE see your doctor asap. You sound like you are experiencing symptoms of psychosis.

Thank you for your words! Do you know a realistic timeline to my recover? Also, I've been off 6 weeks and 5 days. Just checked again. :(

Do you know if lithium carbonate could be affecting it? I don't know if it affects the dopamine receptors and worsen anhedonia. I started taking it because I felt so depressive due to Abilify withdrawal.
 
How did it go? I would love to hear an update on your EMDR therapy <3

Have you had experience with invega?
 
Your trippin. Invega has destroyed me I know who I was before invega and I don’t know who tf I am now 3 months off with over 250mg still in my blood. The government is targeting you mane
I am starting not to believe the half life theory. It might work for some but it’s not working for me. I’m almost 330 days off so close to my 7th half life and I’m still messed up from invega.
 
If you do your research on Google antipsychotics play a huge role on a neurotransmitters and a lot of different things in the body changing the way we absorb food and nutrients and the way our bodies work ect. I read a long article on the numerous ways they change everything about us. I’ll try to find the research paper and link it. I was surprised at all the damage it actually causes.

I can’t believe how much it fucks you up. Psychiatrists are supposed to be helping people but they’re poisoning them to the point they may never recover. Fuck this world
 
Any of you guys got derealization due antipsychotics? I feel disconnected all the time. Like I had a couple beers and been a little bit dizzy, know? Or high from weed.
Can anyone relate?

I didnt get it from antipsychotics but i used to get it before i went on clonazepam. It's so fucking weird

Please dont feed peoples delusions its litterally the worst thing you can do for them. When i was psychotic i thought the FBI was targeting me. That made no sense at all but i believed it. The government has alot better things to do then spend money and time on targeting people like us

It improved? You take it daily? What dosage?
Sometimes I take it for sleeping (after waking up early - and not being capable to fall back asleep).
I read it is a symptom of anxiety or trauma, your mind kinda numbs itself trying to protect you.
I feel like this for months already, it's so weird. :(
Feels like my reality and surroundings are not the same.

Derealization looks like a wrong terminology. You experience numbness or absence of experience and/or emotion? That isn't derealization.
