Hey guys are pills better than the injection? I was on them for 10 months against my better judgment. Am I more likely to recover from the pills if I never got an injection?

I have all the same symptoms everyone is talking about.

Pills generally leave your system quicker and has less severse effects that be treatment or side effects, but injection I belive is way more effective in treating with. In contrast while pills are generally have fewer side effects and dipose from your blood stream faster, they do still have side effects as of any anti psychotic medication.
 
Okay everyone I had a wonderful and incredible phone call with my therapuetic contact. He spent over an hour and a 1/2 with me explaining all the situations with what's going on with all of us. Hit everything right on the head. Basically saying that our cortisol levels are so high Compensating for our dopamine receptors being damaged. That's why we don't sleep well ,essentially not regulating mylen in our pineal gland. He Mentioned fore brain drainage that is basically like a vericous vain in our head leaking fluid causing excessive numbness and weakness in our limbs. There was a whole host of other stuff that is too extensive to go through but he knocked it out of the park.

I would love to talk to someone like that to explain in more detail with what’s going on so I don’t have to be my own scientist and guess and try to come up with theories

Is there just no way to know? I wanna get back to work. I wanna write and draw again. My intelligence is so severely affected. My professors were encouraging me to get a PhD and now I can’t even use my brain. I honestly don’t know what to do. I was careful about being on these and refused before (only took mood stabilizers) and that preserved my intelligence through episodes but this last one fucked me up so bad. The episode itself was bad but the “recovery” was torture. I was so messed up by the meds they forced me on I couldn’t fight for no antipsychotics like I usually do.

Later in the year I found out I am perfectly stable on other natural treatments (backed by science). I’ve never even had a hallucination, not even on hallucinogenic drugs. These APs messed me up. I can’t believe how this happened to me even though I previously knew about antipsychotic damage and refused to take them.

Now my brain might be permanently unable to think at all? I might never be able to live my dreams, ever? Just because I relapsed on lithium and they said I needed an additional antipsychotic to be stable? It wasn’t even true. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’ve been off all psychiatric medication (except for methylphenidate) for 1 month (Trileptal), APs for 4. I thought I was going to be able to get back to normal once I shed the APs pretty quickly. Even though I knew they could cause permanent damage, I didn’t know that could happen so quickly.

I was forced on them for 8 months and I immediately tapered off after 1-2, but I swear I could’ve fought harder to not take them. That’s what is killing me. Why didn’t I fight this harder. I know from experience if you put your foot down and speak rationally oftentimes they comply.

I guess I gave up before I ever needed to.

Warn your friends and family guys. Today I woke up with motivation and no brains or skill to do anything. What a waste of life and talent. Everyone thought I was going to write books and now I have a bunch of incomplete writing and research that will never be published.
 
What is the normal timeline for sexual recovery in terms of mitre for lessened orgasms ? Coming up on 7 months here guys

He said at least in my case that mine are damaged or could be suppressed. He is a biochemist who worked extensively with MS patients and people who have been damaged by SSRI or other drugs. He said it will not be an instant fix but you will gradually get better.

I don't want to expose myself to youtube. There's so many legal consequences. I've had enough problems in the last couple of months. One of them is with the doctor that fucked me up. At this point right now I can't worry about everybody else and a therapy for them. I have to go forward with this and see if I can get better. I'm praying to God I will go back to my old self and say what the hell happened.

Just got done with my contact. He sent me a screenshot of people with the same issues as us that have recovered from his therapy. Fully regaining sexual function. I'm meeting with him this morning by skype. I'll let you all know how it went.

Was it just sexual function or did people also mention other improvements?

I’m so sad for you, you’re suffering even more than I am and that’s really saying something. Can I just say I know stories of people who couldn’t even talk because of antipsychotic damage who have made full recoveries… I have hope for you too but I can fully understand you just wanting it to be over with the amount of suffering you’re going through 😭 I’ve thought of you and prayed for you a few times. Even though I’ve lost faith in god.

I’ll inbox you the discord link to some recovery stories
 
This is dumb question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway. Has anybody actually spoke to medical experts on want to do to get better? I feel like a lot of people are upset and complain,but they never offer resources.
