Coffee rush feels like a burst of energy where your senses become amplified. That’s why people drink it in the morning to wake up and get busy. I like to have an americano with a shot of espresso in the mornings before I start my day. The warm feeling of coffee in the winter is great. I drink red bull these days because of the heat but it’s not so good on the stomach

Hey man! How it's going with your trip?
I always had coffee just because of the taste, never got this rush I think. At least never noticed. Maybe because I drink with (lot of) milk. XD

Before I started taking risperidone after my psychosis I wasn't anhedonic and with all those well known symptoms. Everything started after.
So the common factor is antipsychotics. That's a relief so, just need patiently waiting for brain recovery.
It’s like I was extremely talkative and in a supercharged mode with everything, my mood was really good also

Yes everything we're experiencing is definitely caused by antipsychotics, without a doubt. I'm probably one of the only people here that was given Invega for god knows what reason, since I've never experienced psychosis nor am I schizophrenic, implying that it was completely used off-label. Immediately afterwards I began experiencing an overwhelming amount of side effects, like anhedonia, akathisia, sexual issues, insomnia, light-headedness, etc. Before this I was completely healthy and was very motivated with school, work, and going to the gym, didn't feel the constant urge to move, had a high libido and fully functional genitals, could sleep perfectly fine, and didn't feel like fainting whenever I'd get up too quickly. And all it took was a single injection which is just unbelievably ridiculous.

I wish that logic applied to me but sadly it doesn't. It's been about 7 1/2 months since the injection, so right in between the span of time you said, and I still have slight erectile dysfunction along with reduced semen volume. It's certainly improved a ton compared to where it was first coming off of Invega, but is definitely still not where it was pre-Invega. I was planning on seeing a urologist soon though, since I wanted to make sure it didn't cause any physical and irreversible damage.

I seriously like my current primary care doctor. She's literally the only doctor I've spoken to that genuinely believes that Invega is the cause of all my side effects. Every other doctor I've spoken to, especially psychiatrists just think I'm delusional and say "the injection only lasts a months so it's already out of your system". Because apparently they're all deceived and misinformed about the reality of these kind of meds. She also sticks to more natural/herbal remedies, and explains what each one is for along with their intended uses/possible effects. For some reason I get the feeling that she may not stick around for long, every time I come across someone that's actually passionate about their job they leave for some reason, leaving just the shitty, careless people like the psychiatrist that perscribed me Invega for who knows what reason, with no explanation or warning of any kind prior at all.

I wish there were more people like you who have recovered and who occasionally come to the forum and write a sentence of support, because it's amazing how positive effect it can have.

Coffee shouldn’t give you a high all day long.

I'm 2 years and 27 days off, around half recovered, still far from 100% and don't want to live.
We do not share the same viewpoints on psychosis, since I consider it to be fully a responsibility of the person to whom it happens, since it's psychological(=mental and not physical) and mind of the person wasn't organized to be logical therefore it happened.
Internal states (like having negative or positive experience) should not be able to influence your mental process, if they do, it means you are unstable and comparable to some unstable metal in the periodic table, lol.

What side effects are you experiencing 2 years off?

Even more proof it’s not invega.
I’m telling you all that we’re all targeted and have poisons stored within our bodies for timed release. Go and check previous threads where someone talks about TIs who get poisoned or get V2K’d. I believe the poster was named “masterp “ or something.
It’s not the shot, I promise.

As a person who has been a member of this forum for two years, have you witnessed many recoveries? Are there many who have recovered after 3 years?

It would be good if there is a separate page on this forum where people who have recovered can register and write the time of recovery. Just a few clicks for information and support for those who are now living in hell. So that you get the exact data of how the Xeplion recovery statistics look like.
It doesn’t matter because it’s not the shot.
Your experiences will be different than everyone since you’re targeted by a group of people and you’re at their mercy. I don’t care if you don’t believe me.

Been depressive all week long. Don't know what is happening, guys.
Even when I was on antipsychotic wasn't that hard to get off the bed and do daily tasks.
Don't know anymore if it's due antipsychotic withdrawal/effect. I feel like my reward system still don't working, I see no point of doing anything.
Maybe I developed depression with all my situation? Or it's just effects of months taking antipsychotics? Could be all anhedonia related?
My head is a mess. All I want is to get back to normal state but as time passes it feels more impossible. I keep thinking this all day long, life shouldn't be like this. It used to be great.
Wish I could travel back in time.
It's been 156 days since my psychotic episode and 51 days since stopped APs.
Didn't know it was going to last this longer.

Guys, I really admire your desire to recover but this is it. We have been poisoned by psychiatrists but moreover by Pharmaceutical companies. I havent seen a single positive recovery post/video on youtube/reddit from any form or brand of antipsychotic injection. Those are facts. NOT A SINGLE ONE. And if you seen one, you need to know they are not recovered but at least they survived, which is indeed to much for me personally. I really don’t understand how any human being is able to handle this for much longer than a year or so. We are all destined to be like this for the rest of our poor lifes. There is no way out. Chemical lobotomies are real. Lobotomies were real. ECTs are real. Maybe GOD is real but, people dying from injustice is also a reality, and I think we need to face that in order to live in reality. Just needed to vent again. I no longer no how to hang in there. Everyday feels like the last one I want to experience this suffering but the next day is always the same. I would like to see recovery stories were people showed their pretty faces and gave some hope. But as you can see, those are not spread or shared, why? Well, I think the only possible answer is because no one really recovers as I said before. And I know all of us want to feel like pre-injection somehow and sometime in the future. In my case, theres no reason to stay alive in such pain. Such torture. Not able to feel substances. Not able to share love. To feel plenty. Is a shame guys. It really is. I am desperate for a change and I would always say we came here to change the world, but it seems like maybe this time the world is the one that has changed us.
I am really sorry guys. I know all of us had such good life before. I really do. I see it in your posts. You are all such good people. But we all have in common the same shit. I wish people that said in past threads that are recovered would make a video like Kaatrina did in order to determine if 100% recovery is possible. But, u know, Kaatrinas video is just another example of a fucking survivor, a gladiator, a human being suffering each day in order to experience life. For me, that is not worth it. Wbu? Do you think is worth living like this?
