I

im Recovered bro, it takes around 8 months to start seeing improvement. Sometimes even sooner than that. I’m almost 1.5 years off from the shot and I’m fully back to myself. Been back to myself for half a year now. I had one 234mg shot. I feel smarter, happier, stronger, and more fulfilled than before I even got the shot. You can and will get through this.

Maybe this will be like a superhero super power when I do re enter the world, cause I am going to completely fuck it up when I do get back to my old position and re awaken

Hey everyone I am 2 and a half months off the shot and currently enrolled in school. I have a wife and a new born. Last week after talking to my pdoc I decided to start Wellbutrin and I regret it. I only took it for 4 days. I quit talking it because I developed ED. Ever since I quit taking it my depression has came back with a vengeance. All I want to do is look up how long this is going to last. I can't do my school work. Other symptoms are insomnia (I forget my thoughts all the time while I try to go to sleep.) Anxiety. But the worst of all is the depression on steroids. Does anyone know how long this new depression will last given that I only took Wellbutrin for 4 days? Thanks I'm advance for the insight.

Try a tricyclic antidepressant. Oldschool and apparently interact with everything (although in reality this is just a result of them being well-established in the medical field and thus extensively researched in regards to interactions), but they get the job done.

I have had no problems drinking, smoking weed and taking benzos while on a TCA, also it gave me no sexual side effects while just a week on Cymbalta made my dick stop working.
 
Hi, I used to read these forums to give me hope while I was coming off abilify injections, there was one man who had 10 injections of invega and was almost recovered after a year and another who had 7 injections and completely recovered. I recovered after 7 months but unfortunately I had another psychotic episode due to psychological reasons now I have to go through another 6 months coming off Olanzapine injection, I know you guys think nothing is worse than invega and I agree as I've had the pills, but still I'm going through all the same side effects that antipsychotics cause due to blocking dopamine and serotonin receptors. Nothing interests me, I don't want to do anything, I don't want to socialise with people as I don't feel myself. I can't keep fit, everything is dull etc etc etc. It's just a waiting game until the drug is out of my system which will probably be 7 months. All up I will be affected by antipsychotics for 1 1/2 years. Its terrible but you do get back to your previous self, in the meantime I'm in limbo.
 
Invega causes worse physical side effects tho olanzapine isnt that bad in genera.
 
The blunted emotions really suck man jezus hopefully i recover them after stopping
 
"Rather than positive effects, antipsychotics may have adverse effects on cognition. First-generation antipsychotics have been shown to impair procedural learning and memory, especially at high doses [7, 8]." This is another reason why I'd like to get off of antipsychotics. I'll be at work and then I'll just not have the long term memory to remember, at a later date, the things I was taught. I have to repeat the process rather than remembering after the first time. It's gotten worse after switching to risperdal. Thinking about switching to a new med until I have the right to refuse it again. Just gonna do some thorough research on some this time around rather than letting the doctors choose. If there's nothing I like, then I'm throwing my meds away after this blood test.
