#RecoveryUpdate

Hey everyone!

I hope you're all doing fantastic. I know it's been a while since my last update, but I'm excited to share some positive news about my recovery journey. It's been a remarkable 10 months since my last injection, and I'm feeling more and more like myself each day. My sexual dysfunction has completely resolved, which is a huge relief.

I haven't experienced psychosis since stopping the injections, and my anhedonia has drastically decreased - I'm 95% there! This newfound energy and excitement for life has been incredible. I'm back to enjoying my hobbies, like gaming for hours, which I couldn't focus on before.

Yes, anxiety pops up now and then, but it's manageable. And those dizzy spells when standing up? They're almost gone. There's still the occasional eye roll or bug out, but I'm hopeful that this side effect will fade with time.

I'm grateful to report that I didn't develop tardive dyskinesia from the injections, and each day, I feel a bit more clear-headed as the paliperidone leaves my system. I've come to believe that a year of treatment might just be enough to help me reset and stabilize, without the need for further antipsychotics.

Right now, I'm not on any medication, and surprisingly, I'm doing quite well. I'm more sociable, and my emotions, which were quite turbulent before, have balanced out nicely.

I wanted to share this with you all to spread some hope and positivity. Recovery is a journey with its ups and downs, but every step forward is a victory. Stay strong, and never lose hope in your own journey. We're in this together!

Warm wishes to everyone on their path to healing.

Thanks for sharing with us, Serhat. How bad were your symptoms in the beginning? Did you have total loss of emotions and anhedonia?

Did you have symptoms of tardive dyskinesia? If so what were they because I think I might have it from just 2 loading doses.

what helped you recover?
 
Can anybody here help me sort out weather or not taking pregnenolone will help my hormonal imbalance? I'm low in all sex hormones, the only thing that's normal is testosterone but it's high (physically female, agender), AMH and FSH.

Edit: Found out it probably won't do anything. :/

Well, I'm done with the dicking around from my so called health expert from India who was going to help me.What an asshole, bullshitter. Gave me such hope with what looked like a solid plan to recovery. Tells me he is going to send over paper work from his so called staff with the itinerary and has been ignoring my emails and inboxes.What a dirtbag, scam artist.Well, on to finding something else. Gotta keep hope or else I'm done.There is nothing more I can do.

Im so sorry, that’s so fucked up. I was really hoping something would come from that guy, I can’t believe they would prey on someone suffering that badly. Are you 100% sure it’s a scam?

Typical third world scumbag. Just like this doctor who fucked me up. I'm not done with that doctor though. The amount of stress, turmoil and ruination that this person put me and my family through they're gonna pay dearly.Ive already filed grievances against them, next is a major law suit.That will get me the justice I need. On a decent note, my hand tremors have slowed down. They are there but not as pronounced.

He's arguing with me now, telling me how great he is. I personally think he's full of shit. I think his pride is hurt and he got himself in a situation he can't get out of. I told him to be honest with me and stop leading me on. I used to run a successful business.I never pulled this bullshit with people.

I told him the severity of what this drug does.That this is not some joke I am playing with .That the suicide rate from this drug is 97%.I actually emailed a bunch of doctors from Yale University yesterday and hoping they will get me somewhere.Im not giving up.

No way is it that high. Also you have to factor in that many people on invega where also in the psych ward and that does raise the risk of suicide. Shows how well locking people up against their will like criminals works
 
at this fucking point the little improvement i thought i had doesn't even count, doubt it means anything, i am laying on my couch fucking staring at the ceiling right now, 5 months off no improvement i don't know how much longer i can take this torture before my demise, other people here have significant improvement at 5 months off even 3-4 months off and here i am 5 months off no improvement!

Are you currently on any other antipsychotics or meds in general? Also id suggest getting your testosterone levels checked because if they are low that alone can cause anhedonia

I started getting better at about the 3 month mark but it took over a year for me to fully recover from that fucking poison. My attention span was the last thing to come back

I couldnt get it up for 3 months when i came off abilify. My sex drive was the first thing that came back though so i think you are recovering. Things like my attention span took the longest to come back. Was a full year before i could read a book again.

Just have patience you will be ok
 
My sister told me her DHEA was 328 and mine is 331 and that level just means no ovulation. I'm trying to chill but my TSH falling freaks me out. My testosterone going up is probably good but my body was using estrogen before.
