Prolactin is one stubborn sonofabitch. Once raised, in most cases it stays raised and there's nothing you can do to normalize it naturally, par using medications.

In my case the switch to abilify lowered my prolactin from ~1060 to about ~62. After that I was able to get high off weed again. Man I was blown away when I got high, I kept telling my friend that I couldn't believe I was high and that I never thought I'd see the day I was ever able to get high again.

I haven't tried kratom again yet, unfortunately in my country it's easier to score H than it is to buy kratom... 🤷🏽‍♂️

I only really suffer from low appetite, I'm going to have my prolactin levels checked soon. But what if prolactin levels are high but I'm also still able to get high

If your prolactin is high, and you get it sorted out, everything in your life will improve.

How was your appetite pre-invega?

I only ate once a day because I was on meth and weed, sometimes didnt even eat the whole day
 
The weed just made the comedown easier and helped me sleep, didnt really give me the munchies because of the meth, but before the meth, I would only be able to eat if I smoked, because i was just smoking so much over a long period of time, but I would still have a appetite when I smoked

Have you started exercising at all yet since stopping invega?

If you consider walking a exercise then yes, I do a lot of moving around the house and outside, but weightlifting and running no. Before invega I enjoyed doing curls, push ups and bench pressing, but this was before the drugs when I was sober, i can still do push ups and lift heavy things after invega but i haven't tried running, if I had some weight lifting equipment i would use it, I just dont have the drive do sit here and do pushups everyday.

When also when I was on meth I would get these random spikes in motivation and drive and would workout no shit, I lost a lot of weight on meth, I went from 210 to about 150, but I would hit the bench press at like 150 lbs an rack about 245 for about 10 reps also I would randomly fuck outside tweaking and I could throw cinderblocks one handed for about 10 yard over and over and even further with 2 hands. Doing this at 150 pounds. Shit gives you super human strength I swear Also the night before my pyschosis, I thought soemone was watching my in my field so I would grab my pistol and run out there, like no shit I swear I was running a 40 yard dash in 4 seconds like a pro running back

Long story short, I got my first jab in 2015. Then I was in and out of the mental hospital for years, with invega injections jabbed inside me every now and then.

That whole time I couldn’t get high from anything. Weed, coke, fentanyl, kratom, alcohol nothing worked.

Then in 2021(couple of months ago) I got tested for high prolactin and switched to abilify.

Ever since my prolactin got normalized I’ve been able to now get high off weed again. Just like with weed, there’s no rush when first hitting it with either meth or H, but I’m still getting high. I feel good using, absent the rush.

I was reflecting the other day after finishing some goofballs(H and meth)…and I realized I was so high I felt tremendous.

There’s just no RUSH atm, but I think combining St. John’s wort, with cabergoline and exercise will bring it all back

so you been on invega since 2015 .. what a shitty life omg
 
just got off the phone talked to a consult at J&J pharmaceuticals. They told me one 75mg shot takes 6 months to leave the body completely. They also confirmed the higher the dose the longer it will take they also confirmed that 5 or 6 halve lives is the correct number. 150mg doesn't contain 150 mg but contains 234mg so takes probably a long ass time to get rid of.

Employee didn't want to give her name tho probably due to all the angry people that call in.

Thats 18 months for 234mg. But it gets uneffective much faster and tolerance also helps so probably 6-12 months until its not effective at all.
