Hello, this is my story so far. I've been taking injections since May 2021, first Xeplion for 5 injections, 2 loading doses and 3 more. It was a total hell. After switching to Abilify 400mg plus 10mg pill for 15 days, it took me a few months to improve and regain some of my sexual function, acatisia, and a bit of concentration over the passing months. Then I continued to suffer until June 2022 when my dosage was lowered to 300mg (Abilify). After 2-3 months, I noticed a bit more improvement, more enjoyment, feeling more relaxed, having more ideas, and improvement in speech. Despite these improvements, I still suffered quite a lot until early June 2023 when it was lowered to 200mg. It took me a few months to notice improvement, and I started feeling much better compared to the previous year. I saw a lot of improvement in concentration, speech, greater enjoyment while watching football and UFC matches, as well as feeling more relaxed and having better sleep. Time began to pass by faster. I joined the gym to go a few days a week and started reading some books that entertained and helped me. I stayed at 200mg until October when it was lowered to 150mg, and in 2024, I've noticed more improvements. Currently, I feel about 80% better. I can do many more things, and I have good and bad days like everyone else, but the bad days are nothing like they were a year or two ago. I'm also spacing out the doses instead of every 28 days; now it's every 36 days, and the next one will be about 45 days apart, until I take one last dose and stop completely. I don't take anything else anymore, not even sleeping pills. You have to trust in recovery; I still have a way to go, but I see it getting closer, and I believe it's possible to reach 100%. Keep hope alive.
