It is taking me over two years. But I'm glad I waited two years. It is defiantly better to wait this long, even for a partial recovery, than to kill yourself. I can still get high, I'm having orgasms and living my life again even if I feel a little washed out, a little sun bleached.

I’m still going too, my close friend said she noticed I’m getting better, despite me still having blank mind and currently being on the medicine my body is continually making adjustments

After around the 3-4 week mark with no risperidone it becomes agonizing and unbearable and I take around 0.4-1m to sooth and be able to sleep. Sometimes I have to take upwards to 4-5mg if i'm in a manic state.

I wish there was a way to come off the drugs completely and live a normal life. i've tried everything, hundreds on nootropics, but I keep getting to the point where I have to take the risperidone

Invega is a bad medication for a lot of people who get stuck with it. Lots of people find a med that works for them after invega. I think starting something new under a year after the shot can be bad for your recovery however.

What are your auditory hallucinations about? And did you end up recovering yourself fully? I read some of your earlier message history.

I was doing fine, recovering mostly but still not satisfied. Tinkering with nootropics trying to find the magic cure. That's when I suffered month long marijuana induced psycosis and had to get put on the atp's for good even though I hated them. I mostly look risperidone, but also came off and on abilify and geodon
 
Document here, the next document is on the correlation between being able to get high and recovery

I don't understand how some people claim to heal in such different or fewer months since the drugs interacts in the brain the same way for everyone. Regardless of how much Dopamine or Serotonin once has it creates a blockade.
 
Having lots of suicidal ideation today, tough day. Invega really steals your humanity away for months at a time and the only recourse for recuperation is time
 
i’m on my 6th shot and honestly i feel like most of the side effects that made me want to kms kind of wore off. i still have akethsia and total sexual dysfunction. that’s what’s im most worried about. i literally can’t get up or bust nuts anymore😔. has anybody fixed the erectile dysfunction?
 
Went for a morning walk today and it helped lift my mood enough to sort some washing out, do a bit of cleaning and make a list of things to do. Laying back in bed now but am gonna get back up soon to make something to eat. What’s everyone else doing with their time?

How long are you off injections and how many did you have?

I’m currently pacing in the garden listening to music. The usual.

5 injections all up, last injection on May 7th so starting to approach 4 months off. I think the last 2 were lowered down to 75mg. I’m gonna ask the case worker about exact doses when I see him next.

Atleast you can enjoy music I guess, what you listening to?
 
Yeah I enjoy music a little bit. This is a song i’ve been listening to a lot.

Its good a walk can lift your mood, small sign of progress. I bet it wouldn’t have a few months ago just off injections.

Sorry if my memory is incorrect but didn’t you say you were going out for dinner with your friends? If you did how did it go?

Yeah I did last night it was okay. Kind of a short dinner. I wasn’t really able to be present cause I was just thinking about the shot

I understand, when I go out (rarely) I can’t help but think I may not recover and also can’t be present in the moment with this inner restlessness. After a meal out I always wanna leave straight away cos I can’t stay still. These drugs ruin even the simplest of pleasures.
