Recovery story


Hey guys, a little update on me, I’m doing good! Can’t really complain to much in fact I don’t complain at all really, it’s rare that I think about invega now a days I just focus on my music and my family and girlfriend which is nice. My life is a lot different then before psychosis, in someways it’s different and in others it’s worst and some ways actually better! I’m on abilify 180 mg and I gotta say if I had to live my life like this for the rest of my life suicide would not be an option like it was on invega. My point is I’m pretty damn content. I get anxiety sometimes when standing in one spot which is the worst side effect of abilify but was way worst on invega. I am also a little numb but it’s not unbearable at all it’s just not as colourful of a life as before meds which is alright because it’s still pretty damn stimulating! I haven’t started work mostly because I’m working on music so much and I feel work would be hard on me.. it’s weird when I’m doing a job I like such as writing, producing, playing music I get so much done but when it comes to cleaning my room I have a hard time haha.. I’ve always kind of been like that but it’s definitely a bit tougher being on abilify doing this kinda stuff opposed to being off I’d imagine. I released my first single the other day and it’s called simple times, it’s on Spotify and by Lobotomyeyes.

If anyone listens I hope you enjoy, I talk a little about my stand on god, money, being numb and maybe having schizophrenia in the song. My main goal in this life is to spread awareness of people like you guys struggling with this illness or medications and if I can help in anyway than I will through what I know best which is music.
Time is a healer people, I was on invega for 7 months and my last shot was trinza so I know your suffering, I will never forget this experience unfortunately but I do believe it made me a much stronger person..
cheers,
-kyle.

Did you ever lose your ability to get high on cannabis and if so did it come back?

Currently taking Invega, and as of my last time I took an edible no. I smoked 3-4 times and took an edible.

The edible disoriented me enough to make me believe I was falling back into psychosis. Additionally although it’s been around 3-4 days since I took it, I still suffer from some acute side effects( feeling discombobulated, lack of awareness of some of the pre-existing invega side effects.)

But yes, I to my knowledge haven’t lost my ability to get high off weed

But cucumbers and oranges have nutrients like vitamin a,b and c. Should I buy multivitamin tablets instead?

Bro don't let people having a chuckle get you down. I'd personally never heard cucumbers to be nutrient dense before that's why I thought It was a funny choice. Bit oranages and vegetables are a good choice my man. I respect that you are trying to make good choices.

I'm not offended. I seriously want to know if I'm doing the right thing. Should I eat vegetables or get mutlivitamin tablets?

Yeah i don't really think it fucking matters. Multivitamins won't help invega poisoning.
 
The longer this drug affects me the worse my digestion has become. I feel so dehydrated and things that used to be easy and feel good now feel so disrupted and heavy
 
I bought an eighth of weed in December and I still have a good amount left and it’s August…

Thinking about smoking it but I am so depressed by not getting the full effects that I just haven’t bothered…

Should I try to smoke today?

It might make you more depressed because you most likely won’t enjoy it like you would when you are normal. For me it makes me over think and my anhedonia worse. Not saying don’t try it just making you aware
