Maybe so, but losing weight is mostly on us. I don’t think invega wearing off is gonna take all my 50 pounds of weight I’ve gained away

I don’t think so. For me I gained weight so fast it had very little to do with calories. The drug affects metabolism and I think for some people it will take some time for the body to get rid of the fat. Antipsychotics are just crazy drugs.

yeah it disrupts and changes gene expression if you had a fast metabolism before it's most likely slow now

My weight gain was fast too… still a bit shocked how fast I gained weight but hey I’m glad you’re okay, got a bit worried about you when you stopped posting and concerns were raised

Yes 🙌🏼💖 that’s the spirit! I was so relieved when I seen you post again, there was a day where I said under my breath “please come back rawbanana” and my heart was a bit sore thinking the worst. So nice to have you back darl

I think I might start drinking

Be careful with that, have in moderation but don’t go on a downward spiral with it. Just a few over a weekend made me super depressed at some point where I could barely keep my eyes open and was dragging my feet so haven’t had another drink since

Thank you friend it is always so nice to read your posts! Always so thoughtful and kind 🥺❤️
 
Just booked myself in for an acupuncture next week to see if it helps with my stress and anxiety, never in my life thought to try it but am willing to try anything *except those fkn antipsychotics* at this point. I will heal naturally ✨

@YogirisingKundalini I'm proud of you for being a positive contributor to this forum lately lol

I literally have nothing to do each day, and I can't even escape that with sleep cause even that is terrible now, food doesn't taste the same, it is getting nerfed a chemical lobotomy. I really don't think things get better with time at this point anymore. Life is not worth living at all if you can't enjoy any aspect of it.

Your in the worst part. It gets better when you've been off them for a while
 
There are moments where I feel like I might recover but the present is so difficult because life has lost its beauty
