Looking at when you had your injections you are incredibly early days. I think the stuffed nose etc will go away. Don't get surgery. This is a chemical reaction as you have the meds in your system.

Cause my nose still feels super blocked

Guys I found another thing supporting the method I want to try, it says here in this site that is called the national library of medicine that dopamine agonists can be used to treat the side effects of antipsychotics. I saw it before, It is the official website of the US government
This is the link of the page where i found the information
you guys thought on this? Is there something you like to add on this?

Anyone's thought on this?

I don't know. I've been trying to find them. I found pramipexole in a pharmacy but it has a low affinity level. I'm planning to get some dopamine agonists pescribed to me. The manipulative psychiatrist I visited is refusing to look for them for me. It's annoying.living is hell and I need a solution.

yall mfs complain every single day about the same shit, don't you get tired? so annoying

That’s what this thread is for. We vent.

If you are annoyed why don’t you just leave? No need to be rude when we’re all going through the same thing.

But I get it if I was injected 10 times with no hope of recovery I’d be an asshole too.
 
I'm finding it hard to feel good from trying to remember my good memories. It's like I feel nothing, I also can't remember some things really well. Can someone explain this? Do I have brain damage?

its like listening to a broken record, you say the same shit every day atleast change it up lol. I had more injections than most of you and you don't see me complain multiple times a day 🤣

He is in shock, everyone is just being patient and polite to him.
Its strange because the religious teachings you were supposed to follow, should have shown an example out of you on how to be patient to a desperate soul.
Chill bro, he will get there some time.

unless they trust you with pills it is highly unlikely. Your best bet would be to cooperate with injections so that when the next cto hearing comes they can smoothly let u off or switch u to pills. It took me 8 months but other places its shorter.

My cto ends in september. I will keep complying. I hope it doesnt get extended for another 6 months but I feel like they will. This is my third time recovering from psychosis and my doctor told me I need to be on medication at least 3-4 years.

I was trying to write today and it was so not rewarding or fulfilling at all. It’s torture not being able to channel this feeling into anything. The very concept of coping mechanisms relies on dopamine and without that how do we even cope! It’s beyond fucked up

Do you like video games? The game Portal actually improves cognition, it's a puzzle platformer. It's very funny and has aged well as far as games go.

As far as writing goes, maybe start small and write 200 characters at a time.

Have you tried pills? There has to be a less shitty pill that will help.
 
Invegatorture said:
Do you mean instead of injections? I’m not allowed to they don’t trust me to take them unfortunatly. Or do you mean pills to help with my symptoms?
Click to expand...
Yeah, instead of injections.

That sucks. Well, next time you have psychosis you should try to stand up for yourself and tell them you would prefer pills because injections are dosed too high. There's a new antipsychotic you should try that doesn't work the same way the others do. It works for some, doesn't work out for others, as all psychiatric medications. I forgot what it was called.

Yeah I do but I haven’t been able to play or enjoy video games since this happened… I’ll think about giving Portal a shot

You can click on a users profile and click ignore if you don’t want to see their posts anymore. Hope that helps.

@TonyTonyChopper has it gotten easier for you after being fucked up for so long? Have you started to get used to it? I’m starting to reach a state of acceptance

Yeah it gets easier overtime , I was so uncomfortable on the injections and was suicidal but after I quit it, it slowly started getting more manageable and now it doesn't bother me anymore. Don't get me wrong I still have lots of side effects but I had gotten used to them by now . Anhedonia especially was unbearable at the beginning but now I've learned to accept it.

Yeah I hope it doesn't get extended , they didn't extend mine only because it was my first CTO but if you are on ur 2nd or 3rd CTO then chances are not in your favor. Why don't you ask your family to help you relocate to another city and escape this CTO? Idk what country you are in but if you get a job and move to another city, you can rent a room for cheap and wait out for 1 year while the mental health team leaves you alone . Personally I'd get out of your city , more injections are not worth it and prolong your recovery time.
