Is it safe for me to use weed and shrooms? My gf is horrible to me and it’s been getting worse with her lately, I need something to cope before I go crazy

Just break up with her or see if there is a way to help her grow and change her behavior, depends on what she did and how bad it is. Women can be abusive too.

You dont want to take shrooms if your in a bad relationship that sounds like a bad trip imo. Just breakup with her its not worth being miserable because of someone

Just be careful with the amounts you smoke. I found weed made me feels better temporarily, some relief, but not for long and tolerance built very fast.
Mushrooms i took 7 months after injections, and had a decent time, not amazing but not awful. I had also taken mushrooms after only 2 months, when I felt suicidal etc, and that was a difficult trip to get through tbh.
Mdma is the thing that helped the most after invega (taken after approx. 10 , months).
It's just that if you have a risk of psychosis, you need moderate and keep track of yourself.

thank you, how was your shroom trip like?
 
Is it true that Invega causes permanent brain damage? If so, will electroconvulsive therapy help reverse this damage?

Unless you get pseudo Parkinson's or tardive dyskinesia then you dont have to worry about permanent damage.

and wtf ECT? Do you know how bad ECT is? Jesus christ i wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy. Stay the fuck away from that shit at all costs
 
I asked about ECT because I read a comment saying that Invega "permanently inactivates" dopaminergic neurons. I asked about ECT because it causes neurons to function normally again in theory.

It doesn't fucking do that. It is a distortion of factual information. Invega is an irreversible antagonist on dopaminergic receptors. Receptors are proteins that receive neurotransmitters. They are constantly being created, degraded, and broken down into their ingredients again to be reused. Most irreversible antagonists aren't a big deal, only worry about certain pesticides. Receptors that are permanently put out of commission get dissolved and replaced. Aspirin is an irreversible antagonist. Stuff like this used to scare me. It's not true.

It's unhelpful to answer people seeking reassurance like this. I hated getting answers like that. Instead you could say you've seen other people recover, but there is a chance it won't.

I really do hope things start improving for you. I was surprised to see xeplionhell come in here feeling nearly recovered after years of this miasma. It can take two years or more. Make sure you're getting enough sleep, that's all you can do.

has anyone here tried a keto diet while recovering? i'm on day 3. i'm just a bit nervous that i won't lose any fat at all because of invega's metabolism effect. i'm feeling pretty normal, seven months off only one injection. also, did anyone recover from their hair falling? i heard that's another side effect and mine does fall out too.

Welp, I found out the lead singer of The Orion Experience is probably a pedophile. I don't believe every alarming internet rumor about internet celebrity indie artists, there have been false alarms before, but there is enough evidence to throw him into the trash. In the past I got defensive about artists I like who did something bad or evil and it was hard to let them go. The slight emotional blunting makes it easier to yeet him from my Spotify library. It's a shame one of the first first new to me albums I loved post invega is tainted. Stuff about him came out when I was too busy feeling lobotomized, or it was shortly before that. I linked them here a few times and I feel bad about it.

I don't want anyone to think I support that band anymore. I get nervous about internet stalkers even though I'm not nearly important enough to stalk and slander. You can be squeaky clean and some random haters can dig up a post on DeviantArt from 2009 and say you're racist or whatever. Even if you defuse a rumor there will always be bottom-feeding drama rats who believed it.
