I’m stating the obvious, look at the definition of bullying. Stop commenting on my posts. @paliperidonevictim2005 you’re not the hero lol it’s exhausting reading the same long posts about her genitalia every third post. It’s demoralizing when I read ppl stories about minuet friggen symptoms that with time off the drug will obviously correct itself. We don’t need an in depth descriptions every five minutes about her flaps and folds honestly be a little discrete have some class. I don’t know of anyone who hasn’t recovered from sexual dysfunction except one person, he was male. And that shouldn’t be your main focus. Your main focus should be if you’re able to live a successful and happy life. Go to school, job, travel, workout, social events ect. Not masterbate and get off in ten mins twice a day. Like it’s ridiculous

I just have to say that I’ve never seen these stories of people that “never recover”… I’ve definitely seen a lot of people suffering intensely below the 1 year mark and sometimes the two year but rarely the 3 or above years point. I’ve seen many recovery stories and have contacted over 30 people so far privately about their recovery journeys with invega and a lot of people have made a full recovery. But I have to say I’m only 3 months in and it doesn’t make this hell any easier. I can’t think, feel emotions or pleasure barely at all and I think about suicide more than I can help. Sending love to everyone going through this right now and thank you so much for the recovered ones who have been sticking around here to give us hope, it means everything to us.
 
@HelpMeInvega This is not the "Old Man Yells at Cloud" forum.

Not to mention, if your idea of happiness is "working" and "making money," I'm pretty sure nobody should be taking life advice from you.
 
Lol first off I’m not a man, second off I’m not old, third off you missed the mark! Life’s about a plethora of things. Lol but good try
 
They need to ban psychiatric drugs. We're long past the "chemical imbalance" talk, these drugs are just lobotomies in a pill and should never be used by anyone.
i don't know some people get bad auditory hallucinations and can't really deal with life with out these drugs. they are definitely meant for some people. hearing the non stop shit that schizophrenia can be really doesn't suit some people and i've heard some people get blatantly bad and sickening annoying shit for voices so if they need meds to stop that i see no problem with it. maybe there is ways to do like spiritual exorcisms or something that i don't know of, but some people can't live with that shit. no disrespect to people that need meds imo... i don't think they should force people to take meds though. maybe more counseling about why i was confused could've helped me a little quicker, but mostly not... maybe even the fear of being forced to take more meds makes me more sane as well as my psychiatrists have let myself ween off of them. like i'm afraid to loose my mind (which might be fun) but i don't want to end up in the hospital and forced to take meds. : /

she/he is tired of the crippling sexual dysfunction just like us

are you on invega because you are actually experiencing schizophrenia like auditory hallucinations or even visual hallucinations or are you just generally acting what people consider crazy and that's why they drugged you? sorry if you've already discussed this. there is a lot going on in these thread. i'm unfamiliar with who is who.

i'm curious if you've had experience with negative schizophrenia and then had help from the drugs to make your voices more appealing to you? i've read a lot of people's encounters with schizophrenia and a lot of times the drugs you are talking about don't always work to help the voices or have negative effects... maybe it's different for people that are more brave to take the drug and hope for good effects. i'm not saying those drugs don't help some. also they might help more people if they are legal... i think some people might actually have a super natural curse where bad spirits high jack parts of their brain and make the people uncontrollably hear bad stuff. these people may be interested in turning that part of their brain off. i think some people can totally possibly have good experiences with schizophrenia i mostly do and i take a lot of different drugs. i just assume i have been conditioned to be a certain way or maybe even am blessed by good spirits... i wouldn't wish to totally take away psychmeds though from all the different types of encounters people have that i've read about.

You’re absolutely right, during my misdiagnosis I talked to many ppl on antipsychotics and although these drugs come with crippling side effects especially Invega Sustenna long acting injection…being tormented by voices 24/7 is terrifying ….there is no street drug that could possibly get rid of these and that’s completely terrifying! Some ppl swear by these drugs because they have been tortured by an altered reality and sexually abused by tactile hallucinations and voices and visual hallucinations and lack of sleep ect. It takes a very ignorant disrespectful person to say treat people with street drugs. You have to realize the calibre of ppl you’re talking to. 50% of the homeless population are usually self medicating with street drugs to fight mental illness and they are the scary ppl who chase you downtown ect! It’s the uneducated who would say something so stupid!

freaky stuff... i'd stay away from your experimental thoughts on ketamine cannabis and psychedelics when talking to the people that are trying to give you meds. lol i guess you are entitled to your opinion, but if you've never had schizophrenia you really have no say... just make sure you stay on the right path and you should be able to stay off meds and live a happy life and not have to post in a thread like this eventually. ... i've taken other psych meds, none of them sound as bad as invega. i don't know what to think about it other than to just take all of your opinion on it as truth. i mostly just lurk this thread.
 
How old are you? Talking about star-trek and worrying about masterbating and being horny. Focus on getting your brain back and a job and making money! And building a life for yourself! Not masterbating and friggen Star Trek! My god!
I tried to get my life together, almost had it, and then I had a psychotic episode from my ADHD medication. Now I have PSSD with emotional/cognitive issues that impacted my creativity and way of thinking, which was important for what I have a degree in. I wanted to be an illustrator. Excuse me.

I recently got PSSD from taking Prozac. I was recovering sexually just fine before I went on an SSRI because invega made my OCD unbearable and I was hurting my friendships. Prozac also made my anhedonia and emotional flattening much worse and I think I ruined my recovery from invega. I will probably kill myself in two years if there are no signs of recovery, I'm a worthless person and you're correct in your assessment that I'm a loser. All I have are people who love me.

I do talk about it a lot and I'm sorry. Frankly, I'm comfortable doing so and I think people should be more chill and explicit when talking about sex stuff with other adults. I'm a very sex-positive person.

ive done dxm cough syrup, weed, lsd, alcohol, xanax, adderall like meds, kratom, sleeping pills and some others im probably forgetting to get high off of weed being the most often i would smoke 7-10 times a day everyday for months, psychedelics like mushrooms are shown to successfully treat MANY things like depression, addiction, etc
 
Street drugs can really wreak havoc on people prone to psychotic disorders. Even just eating weed edibles (yes, even the indica ones) played a part in both my psychotic episodes.

The key here is fighting for people's right to advocate for themselves and get on the best regimen for their personal wants and needs. For some people, that's no medication, while others prefer to be on it. It helps that a lot of schizophrenic people aren't laid out on the massive doses most of us got in the ER.

Your posts can be a lot, but you're going through a lot. This is your safe space to talk about it, and you don't need to apologize or feel worthless just because some cantankerous grump whines about it.

Thank you. For me, as a demisexual, sex was like a "whatever" to me, but now I see just how important it was to me. It kills me that I might never get any of it back. I was perfectly sexually healthy, even talented, and I lost it all. Other than my personality and being a solid 7/10, being a good lay was all I had going for me and I only got to have sex once. It's not fair. I feel like I'll never find a partner now.

It's not just sexual stuff either. I can't enjoy anything like I used to and my disassociation is so bad. I constantly feel like I'm dreaming. I feel horrible most of the time, I have very little hope for the future now. Sure people recover just fine from invega most of the time, but I can't see PSSD recovery that clearly. It's so uncertain and I'm scared and depressed. I feel like I'll never be myself again. I'm washed out, a shell of myself. I used to be so, so alive and passionate about everything.

Sometimes I wonder if I had just waited, my OCD would've gone back to being manageable. But I was scared I was going to fuck up my friendship. We're doing okay now since my OCD turned away from weather or not they still liked me and to my health issues and the old shit it was always focused on.

All I meant was shift your focus…sexual side effects in females usually subside…sometimes it takes 15 months. Don’t be surprised if it comes in waves.

I have PSSD now probably. There is no guarantee I'll get better.

It's hard to "shift my focus" when something that was always there for me is just gone. I need people to understand I had a very high libido, it was almost ever-present and there's just a hole now. I wasn't horny for people all the time, it was almost a sensory response. My sexuality was a source of confidence and joy and it's just fucking gone.
