Went out for the first time in a while.Met with my old college professor and had lunch.Im pushing myself to get better.I don't want to commit suicide or be away from my children. I am working on every avenue to get better.Im not done with this individual who did this to me either.Working on alternative therapy first and then going forward with legal proceedings.F$ck that piece of shit who did this to me.Im gonna fight tooth and nail to get legal justice.
 
Trying to make plans to go to the art museum/get cafe treats with a friend I haven't seen in a while. Wish me luck!

I might try to play a game today.

Hi everyone I hope to give back hope with one more positive testimony, I was forced to take abilify + tercian for 6 months and Invega for 16 very long months in other words my chances of recovery were more limited given that antisychotics are especially effective in disrupting brain chemistry and psychiatrists think that stripping a person of all their cerebral and emotional capacity cures them... my remission continues, I am 11 months off and I feel love again, music, most emotions, resuming social pleasure, driving my car again and having an intimate relationship with my wife and taking pleasure, my conscience and also clearer, I live again after 3 years of brain death! I just took L-tyrosine and did a little sport, however I think that my remission is still a little partial and that I must still improve, hoping to leave you a testimony of more hope ! courage to all, I know that hope seems far away but it exists 🧠💪💕

yes you are right bro, it was this forum 1 year ago which stopped me from committing suicide and opened my eyes to the fact that I had been gaslighted and that it was indeed invega who had destroyed my cognitive functions and my emotional intelligence, I owe a debt to this forum which is why I would stop by from time to time, we must give hope, we must not let a person commit suicide if they had waited a few months, even weeks more, she would have regained her life, it is one of the worst mental tortures, we always wonder if it is permanent but it is rare, you will become alive again one day because the brain or the the mind even if it lacks resilience and takes time, it has its own homeostasis so even if it does not tell you, it really understands that the chemistry is disturbed and will do everything to improve again the levels and quality of neurotransmitters temporarily destroyed by their drugs , please stay alive to heal 🙏 🫶

did penis shrinkage go away for you brotha?
 
Yeah I was on the verge of crying when I saw the videos coming out of Gaza and I’ve read up extensively on the history (I don’t want to tweet something out of ignorance). I definitely care about what’s going on over there and while my emotions are still blunted I’ve been super irritated and angry about everything from the Hamas sickening acts of terror to the Israelis treatment of the Palestinians. I have seen too many photos of dead children on both sides and am completely outraged by it all. I must be recovering from Invega as I wouldn’t have had the concentration levels required to read and remember and understand multiple news reports and draw my own conclusions.

Another member shared that a lot of people seem to come in here very soon after being injected and are are worried about their sexual dysfunction and/or the ability to feel the effects of substances.

It's interesting because I've accepted those two things as just the acceptable side effects I got from medications I thought were preventing me from experiencing mania, and psychosis.

And frankly if what I had been experiencing was psychosis, and I have an episode after coming off, I'll go back on the meds because the alternative that, to me, is worse

I have been on some form of psychiatric medication since I was 16 years old. I'm 28, almost 29 now. I've been taking antipsychotic meds on and off (mostly on) since I was 22.

Things like Tardive Dyskinesia, do not occur after one dose of any antipsychotic, or at least I haven't heard of that occurring.

To anyone who has only had one or two injections - the sexual dysfunction is normal for almost ALL psychiatric medications, and also so is not being able to fully experience the effects of substances. Both of these side effects, do fairly quickly go away after not a huge period of time. I wouldn't be concerned about that and I'd just stay with it.

For the people who are experiencing TD type symptoms or have had very long exposure to AP medications and have ahedonia, I really suggest doing things like engaging in hobbies that you used to enjoy, even if it's just a little bit every day. I ended up finding out that I really like playing music again, something which I thought was a long gone part of my life. I also do paintings, I play some video games.

I know I still don't get the actual level of dopamine from these activities, I make a lot of jokes about that, but it's certainly better to still do them.

I still have serious mental health issues and can't leave my bedroom sometimes, but I didn't want to stay on the meds I was on any longer if I didn't genuinely need them. If that were the case, and I felt like they were helping, I'd be okay with it.

But even then, I have some meds ill never touch again, so I understand people's aversion to things. But it's like if we had a thread for lithium and all the comments were people complaining of tasting metal, and needing to piss 24/7. Those side are very common, and stop pretty soon after coming off meds.

So does the sexual dysfunction, and the ability to feel things, if you haven't been on the AP meds for very long.

Tardive Dyskinesia is so small side effect compared to others that it's so ignorable, and I would prefer living with TD to the rest of my life over being through other more severe side effects like extreme level of anhedonia, complete absence of good/bad feeling from all senses, experiences, memories, emotion and basically everything along with complete absence of emotion and mood, accompanied by extreme suffering, anguish and debilitating agony translating into physical pain. It's much worse than suffocating, constantly being burned, constantly being hit into nuts, having your bones constantly broken and crushed again and again, all of that at the same time.

Luckily i'm now around 60% recovered, so I don't have to deal with that unimaginable level of hell.
To recover 60%, took me years... still recovering...

Did you take invega sustenna or any strong AP depot injection?

Does anyone know why caffeine is blocked??
I asked my psychiatrist if it was due to dopamine and adrenaline being blocked but she said "caffeine doesnt interact with invega"...
Its so trippy I could have four shots of coffee and NOTHING litterally dont notice it in anyway. Im on day 97. Scary af . Still in complete anhedonia. Some days a little better.. Not really.
Like my situation is bad. Im not working I am so fatigued just draining my savings account had to move in w dad. No energy whatsoever. All the side effects. Im 19 so its not like too big of a deal dont have kids.
I have been on risperidone oral before and could drink coffee and feel it. This was at 2 mg. I was not completely fatigued and anhedonic on risperidone tablets.
So why 97 days after my injection
, where it is supposedly at a low amount in my blood can I not feel coffee??
Makes no sense. Taking 2mg daily risperidone was not nearly as bad as three month AFTER the injection.

Caffeine doesn't interact with invega in blood, but caffeine releases certain chemicals in brain which invega blocks, so they intersect on mechanism of action.
 
I had the other mri done yesterday and the results I am sure are worse.Got a copy of the disc and bringing it to my contact who says they can get me better.I almost took my life this morning.I don't know what is keeping me here.I also dont understand how so many had 5 to 6 times the amount I had, and yet they recovered or at least said they did.I am also getting more and more aggravated with what this doctor did to me.Really aggravated!!! I have no sex drive or feelings whatsoever and it is torture beyond anything anyone could imagine.I am praying everyday that this man gets me better.
