This teacher showed up reaking of alcohol and she’s on ap’s. I kinda feel for her seeking relief from the pain

Just watched the video! Very interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing. So I actually heard her say that she’s on an anxiety medication, but then says Clozapan which makes me wonder if she meant Clonazapan instead.

I think people here are in panic mode. But the fact that alcohol doesn’t get me properly drunk is a huge sign that we are fucked up from this drug. I don’t mean to say that it’s permanent, but it’s a complete mindfuck and takes a toll on the psyche.

I promise to be back here on my 1 year anniversary and report the utter truth about wherher or not I am able to feel properly drunk.

In my opinion, it’s one of the few, if not only way to tell if I am still affected by this drug. Irrefutable proof. No other explanation can possibly explain why I don’t feel alcohol or weed the way I used to.

The way I see it, everything else «might» have another explanation.

It doesn’t matter in the end.

Planet Earth is a practical joke, let’s hope that it’s quarantined.

I understand your sentiment. There is a lot of suffering and injustice in the world, and it can be hard to believe that it is all real. Sometimes it feels like we are living in a cruel joke, and that the whole world is just one big prank.

But there is no scientific evidence to suggest that Planet Earth is a practical joke. The Earth is a complex and dynamic planet with a rich history and diverse ecosystems. It is home to an estimated 8.7 million species of plants and animals, and it is constantly evolving.

The idea that the Earth is a practical joke is more likely a philosophical or religious question. Some people believe that the universe is a simulation, and that the Earth is simply one of many simulations created by a higher power. Others believe that the Earth is a test or a learning experience for humans.

Ultimately, whether or not the Earth is a practical joke is a matter of personal belief. There is no right or wrong answer.

Here are some of the reasons why it is unlikely that Planet Earth is a practical joke:

  • The Earth is incredibly complex and ordered. The laws of physics, chemistry, and biology all work together in a precise and harmonious way. This level of complexity is unlikely to be the result of a prank.
  • The Earth is home to a vast diversity of life. There are millions of species of plants and animals, each with its own unique adaptations. This diversity suggests that the Earth is a place where life can thrive, not a place where it is being mocked.
  • The Earth is constantly evolving. The continents are drifting, the climate is changing, and new species are emerging. This dynamism suggests that the Earth is a real and living place, not a static object that is being manipulated by a prankster.
Of course, it is impossible to say for sure whether or not the Earth is a practical joke. But the evidence suggests that it is more likely to be a real and natural place than a cosmic prank.

I think we will all recover with different timelines and suffer common side effects for the most part.

Agreed, unless someone stops improving at a certain % while not taking any meds, then the chance of recovery gets lower every 6 months. Never seen such case yet.

I studied neurology. Antipsychotics severe the connections you've made you don't get those old connections back, they don't grow back in the same manner as well. This doesn't mean you lose all your connections in all brain parts. Antipsychotics shrink the brain and reduce gray matter, that grey matter doesn't magically grow back. Plasticity means that certain brain parts and connections will take over function and connectional function of other brain parts. After antipsychotics you get a whole different blue print where you start making new connection upon, the original brain /blueprint is gone.

t_xeplionhell can you please tell me what you think about what Alex07 is saying. In my experience, what has happened to me with my writing abilities (intelligence, creativity, imagination, etc.) actually matches what he states. With each new injection, my abilities were taken away until they were completely lost. Now they are either blocked or the connections in the brain are permanently broken.
 
Is it too early to worry about permanent loss of sensitivity in my clitoris and vagina, especially after two months of Prozac? I remember it feeling right again, briefly, before Prozac side effects started. I am off Prozac now. I'm not completely numb, but I am noticeably less sensitive. I'm in month 5.

it's never too early to start worrying about permanent damage. Your clitoris and vagina might as well be playgrounds for experimentation. Explore the depths of insensitivity and let Prozac take you on a wild ride. Who cares about side effects when you're on this no-holds-barred journey? Enjoy the numbness and see where it leads, consequences be damned!
 
I'm going to take my busiprone daily for a week and report back. It might help. If that doesn't work, I'll try ginko.

Edit: Actually busiprone raises prolactin so this might be a bad idea. I'll try it only for a week. I have reason to believe my hormones are correcting, I hope this doesn't fuck things up too much.

reuptake inhibition on D2 can cause anhedonia.

Sometimes but not in my case it improved lots of things for me. Fatigue, depression, anxiety the best part of it is it improved my mood which is bloody awesome. :)

I'm thinking of changing to dex which is a reuptake inhibitor and releaser which might improve things more?

I'd be careful. Dopamingerics might seem to help at first, but they can make things much worse in the longer term, especially if you're diagnosed with a psychotic disorder. Just saying, be careful. We want to see you succeed!
 
To all those grappling with the side effects of Invega, and any other challenges on the road to recovery: remember, the human spirit possesses an extraordinary resilience. It is natural to face moments of doubt and discomfort, especially when navigating the terrain of medication and mental health. Yet, with every sunrise, comes an opportunity for renewal. The body and mind have a profound ability to adapt and heal. Throughout this journey, be gentle with yourself, lean on your support system, and trust that better days lie ahead. Recovery is not a linear process; there will be highs and lows. But every step, no matter how small, is a testament to your strength and courage. You are not alone, and a brighter future awaits.
 
I truly think that invega sustena is like taking an antipsychotic and slowly tapering off since it stays in your system for so long and most of our symptoms are a combo of healing from the break and having the daily hit of the anti psychotic slowly lessen and lessen. It’s absolutely both. Getting passed the first 6-8 months is the most brutal part of it because your brain is healing from the break while also being numbed out by the antipsychotic. Does anyone agree with this explanation ?
 
Anyone know how long to heal after taking risperidone oral pills? Took for 3 months, cross-tapered to Abilify, took 3 weeks then off any antipsychotic for 2.5 months.
