My orgasms feel really good again. Sensation is slowly returning to my genitals. I feel more and more like myself every day. I still feel off, but I can live this way.

A lot of people say they're heald then come back after long time and say they're still healing

I wonder if there’s a difference between people who are recovering from mania in the meds and those who take it for other reasons? Can anyone shed any light on this? Mines coming from mania which is why I was given them and I still cant feel any dopamine or emotions/ anxiety or adrenaline etc.. is everyone coming down from mania or other kinds of psychosis? Cheers

Yeah I’m coming off of mania and psychosis and I can’t feel much anxiety . It’s definitely muffled . And this is coming from a person who used to be stressed and anxious constantly
 
How many people here have issues with attention span . I have recovered my ability to enjoy things but it’s damn hard to still watch or do something for long besides listening to music . I know @paranoid android talked about this . Was wondering if other people have issues with attention span as well

I can watch tv but my attention span to things is definitely affected, I don’t feel like I can get invested in any films or tv shows, it’s like I just watch the pictures on the screen
 
You guys ever get a CAT scan or an MRI sca to see if the brain is fine? I did, they told me my brain is perfectly find even though I feel horrible. Whats up with that?

The doctors are told by the government everything is fine when your on antipsychotics.

These psychistrist are no doctors. There mutilating us.

MRI and CAT scans don’t check receptors as they are microscopic parts of the brain and body which means they can’t check for damage in that area, receptors usually recycle meaning the go back to homeostasis eventually it’s just a matter of time, I’m day 50 and don’t feel different but hopefully I will by day 90 man

I had an MRI after invega and they told me there is nothing wrong with my brain - no damage. Even though I felt disabled.

I don't think they show receptors so it's pretty useless.

It took me 7 months after 2 invega injections to have any noticeable improvement in anhedonia. So if you feel the same at day 90 don't get discouraged, recovering from this drug and feeling normal again takes a looonnggg time.

Thats good to hear man! Not the mentally slow pet but you’re getting there! How’s your motivation coming on?

My motivation is a lot better now than it was while on the injections. I easily keep good hygeine - washing and brushing my teeth. I enjoy looking round shops. I go out with my family and keep busy.

Yep, recovery is very possible.

My attention span was the last thing to come back. Granted i could also be undiagnosed ADHD so ya. My attention span is still kinda fucked but it always was. Ritalin and dexedrine greatly help that. Ritalin is a fantastic drug when used sparirgly. Much less side effects then amphetamines imo
 
I think I'm not going to heal back, i would be lucky to get 60/70 precent of my brain back. I'm already one year and half a month and i still feel 70 precent lobotomized, it seem I'm on the far end of healing, compared to this fourm though in reddit people say it take 2-3 years to heal.
I have 11.5 months to heal if I don't the chance i never heal increase substancly.

You really think it's likely they heald in few months?
I think it's more likely to they're used to living with antipsychotic, and considered Antipsychotic life normal.
Also i think there normal life is sitting in bed watching Netflix, not working a stressful job with hard deadline.
If we were to check logic based metrics I don't think they would be able to make higher then minimum wage or work in a professional job after such a short period.
But I don't know they could have genetic mutation that somehow let them heal faster, but its very unlikely.

I spoke with a woman who had the same amount of shots as you and it wasn’t until 14 months that she suddenly had everything come back, ive recovered from pills before and thats how it was for me last time, just one day everything suddenly switched back on it was like heaven but this is the first time I’ve been on shots so it might just be gradual man, it’s frustrating everyday seeming like the exact same day on repeat, I get it im in the same boat but one day it might just switch, it could be a couple of weeks or a couple months from now it’s really is random

Yeah i hope i will also heal by month 14.
It's really horrible I can't even put it into words. Last 2 years I'm just stuck at living hell looking at death everyday and saying to myself just one more day.

Thats all you need mate, honestly it’s a fucked situation it really is and I get it.. I spend all day jut watching tik toks trying to waste all my time because I have no ideas in my head and no motivation or ability to enjoy anything.. it literally is a waiting room with no windows and just saying ‘il get through today’ is all you can do.. man there was nothing I could do the first time and that scared the shit out of me.. you literally just have to wait and try make your situation as comfortable as it can possibly be, we’re all in this shit show together my guy.. it’s fucked but a year, maybe 2 from now all of us on this platform will be back to our normal lives and thats what im hoping for
