I never had a history of psychosis or bipolar so maybe I can get it. Maybe if I explain to them my situation, they would understand.

don't explain shit. Just do an adhd assessment and if u pass u may qualify for Wellbutrin , Straterra or some other offlabel adhd medication or if you are lucky u might get a stimulant. Explaining your situation might give them a reason to not give it to you
I'm not sure I can accomplish that without telling the truth. Also I'm not going at lying. If they catch me, I would be in a worse situation.still waiting for my psychologist to finish his exams so that he can recommend me a good psychiatrist. Also I live in a 3rd world country so things might be different.

doctors are trained to spot delusions and you think you going off about trying dopamine agonists to reverse antipsychotic effects won't come off as delusional. I will bet that you won't get a script with that story as someone whos seen 8+ psychiatrists.
But It's true,I have evidence, you think that would work? I also went to a doctor and she said she believed me. It was the same manipulative doctor though but it has a chance of working
GUYS LOOK I GOT VERY SERIOUS INFORMATION FROM A MESSAGE.The guy who sent it says he uses a.i but it still sounds very serious. Please what your thoughts?
When you block D2 and 5-HT2A for over a year, your brain:
1. Invega’s receptor profile makes recovery slower
- Dopamine D2 blockade → directly shuts down reward/motivation circuits (especially in the striatum and prefrontal cortex).
- Serotonin 5-HT2A blockade → also suppresses dopamine in certain areas, so you’re getting a “double dampening” effect.
- Because paliperidone is long-acting, the receptor blockade lasted many months even after the last shot — and your brain was adapting to that blockade the whole time.
When you block D2 and 5-HT2A for over a year, your brain:
- Downregulates dopamine activity in key circuits (less dopamine release).
- May cause structural receptor changes (density, sensitivity).
- Alters gene expression in neurons (changes to how the brain responds to neurotransmitters).
These adaptations don’t just “flip back” when the drug leaves — they unwind very slowly, and sometimes incompletely

This is why the recovery process for invega specifically is so long and tiring for lots of people. After interpretation, the information given isn't anything new. Recovery supposedly takes a long time.
What is it actually true? Remember it's ai.

To my understanding of the information, all it’s truly saying is recovery takes a longer time due to the intrinsic qualities of Invega and how it interacts with the brains chemistry.
Healing from Invega takes a longer period of time then one could expect, yes this is accurate information to my degree of knowledge I hold
This is fucked,this is very fucked. This is an emergency, I have a time limit. That means I have to change my time I've given myself to heal from 2 years to 9 months. I'm 4 months in already and I'm not improving. At 9 month, if i don't heal,I have to combat this with dopamine agonists and stimulants. This is making me worried. Those who are still in early in recovery, you have to do the same thing too, this is messed up.
| Also some doctors pescribe dopamine agonists for other things. Here's a psychiatrist prescribing a dopamine to a patient for anhedonia. Thoughts? |
So it's true that are psychiatrist out there that pescribe this drug to people.

I feel like invega has ruined my life too… I was studying before invega and I can’t see myself going back to my studies any time soon. I had a whole plan for what I wanted for my life and now it’s like I’m temporarily disabled and forcing myself to do the simplest of tasks like shower and eat
What are your thoughts on using dopamine agonists or dopamine reuptake inhibitors to treat this?
Anybody else experiencing anxiety from invega? While I was getting the shots I had anxious thoughts about stupid shit that made me not want to leave the house but I couldn’t feel the anxiety it was all in my head then now that the injections have stopped and I can feel it, it’s so hectic and even gives me heart palpitations
I mostly can't feel anxiety because of the clopixol injection.
I honestly don’t know enough about dopamine agonists to have an opinion but I think it would be best to just give receptors time to heal otherwise it’s just like slapping a band-aid on the issue
