Can you please describe what your test process was like? Did you tell your doctor your story? I want to know how it happened
Just told to my doc about my sexual disfunction and that i wanted to check prolactine/hormones/testosterone. It was all in the norm even a little over the norm from testosterone so basically they don’t know how to explain my SD so they told me it is all psychological.. Yeah of curse, all psychological -.-

My sex drive came back 3 months after going off the injections. So ya likely dopamine blockade was the prob

13 months update: Tinnitus very loud came out of nowhere in the right ear, now is extended on the two ear, center, sometimes is only in the left, sometimes is only in the right, sometimes is both, sometimes is center-like, but is always here.

Did you tell them about your misdiagnosis. The fact they gave you antipsychotics for panic attacks?

Yes, my doc was also shocked by that and in the first place belived me and promised me to help me, but after a while a psychiatrist who I had 2 appointment with just write an email to my doc telling that i have negative psychosis and to don’t belive me too much and take distance from me, so basically my doc left me alone telling that i have to go to neurology or psychiatry but him cant do nothing to help me. Basically in the last 2 months I’m trying to reach him but everytime i call him i don’t get any answer..

I go check what sympthoms are caused by negative psychosis and there is nothing linked to the sympthoms that risperdal consta gave me, so basically this psychiatrist was trying to gaslight me and made me look like a psychotic to my doc’s eyes. The problem is my doc belived this psychiatrist

That's horrible. He abandoned you. I wonder how he was going to help you. Was he going to give you drugs or something?

He was in contact with the medical university unit they do research about things that can’t get help from the standard medical system because they are way too complicated to be solved by regular docs. I go there and spoke with the neurology department where they basically told me that the actual medical technology reach level 5/10 but the actual psychiatry cult go touch some zones of the brain that are located in the 7/10 or 8/10 so the medical technology cannot see what is happened to my brain, and because of that they send me to the psychiatry department of the university medical center, i have appointment in 7 days, these psychiatris made lots of research so maybe they know what is going on, idk..
 
You just have to hope your body is powerul enough to fight the toxin over time but it’s not likely that you will ever be your old self again. Not really possible.
