Im wondering if tge reason recovery takes so long is bc the brain forgets the neural process for euphoria and pleasure. Bc lets say you get the highest dose/loading dose. That is one month completely unable to feel pleasure. The brain rewires itself to work without any euphoria or pleasure? So then even when its not in your system your brain is changed? Bc even in my dreams iam anhedonic. Month five i cant even remeber what it was like to be euphoric. And trust me i was extremely euphoric like i know my brain had way too much dopamine. So its not paychosomatic. In one month i am going to try weed again. Ladt time i smoked i was like not conscious and felt completely nothing. But that was 10 days after injection. Maybe i need to rewire my brain with weed so i can feel pleasure again.

bullshit the brain always tries to go to homeostasis dont say shit like that bc it can make ppl commit suicide faster and make me lose hope
 
i been watching a video of a guy smoking weed like 6-7 puffs one after another then coughing his lungs out and falling on the couch not moving high asf and laughing my ass off at it over and over again i hope this is a sign of emotions returning

So they’re upping my lamictal dose to 100mg tomorrow, and my Effexor will be 75mg next week. Praying something cracks through the anhedonia soon, I’m really struggling

i think your damaging your brain more by taking more poisons but parnate is safer than effexor and more effective might give you the ability to smile and laugh and feel slightly less tortured if your gonna take meds take that i heard of people who have severe anhedonia not caused by meds like born with that mental illness so severe they dont smile or laugh and parnate did wonders for them i personally wont take parnate weed helps me alot but you can try parnate since weed gives you higher risk of psychosis as you said, hope it helps.

We need at least a year
 
Im currently 5.5 months since my last injection of invega sustenna. Suffering from severe anhedonia. I currently take and have been taking for 5 months seroquel 200 mg XR. Is it the invega that gives me anhedonia or seroqeul? What are your thoughts??? Please respond as many as you can im desperate:((((((((
 
It's my 8 (or 9?) month anniversary today. I feel like my recovery has been ruined by PSSD, or at least seriously set back. I feel like this is more of a serious and lasting issue than invega ever was.

Do not listen to the people who say invega gave you permanent brain damage from two shots. I tried an SSRI thinking it would help me grow more braincells and new serotonin receptors (LMAO, it actually does the opposite and I'm an idiot).

I still have anhedonia I managed to avoid when I had invega. I have a low level of sexual sensitivity and function that comes and goes, nowhere close to the perfect and extremely reliable function I had before, very far from the always present libido I had before. I have even more severe emotional blunting than invega gave me. My creativity is dead. I'm suffering immensely from a different problem now.

What I do have is my intelligence and ability to communicate. I do have new problems with memory and recall, but that's about it. You will get your intelligence back, it did not make you dumber permanently. That's all the good I have to say.

I'll leave you all with a song again. I think this will be my last post here. I'm so sad I won't recover cleanly or easily. I thought I had the answers, I thought what I was doing was going to help me and I was so, so wrong.

I think this is how a lot of your are feeling, this song is for you. I'm so happy to see other people spring back to life. This song means a lot to me, it was with me when my parents were verbally abusing me and when I was sick from ulcerative colitis. I would dream of running off with my best friend. It made me have hope for the future. It kind of hurts to listen to it now.

Get Off the serequel bro it’s an AP it blocks dopamine … your probably very sensitive to all APs not just invega … get off neuroleptics full stop and you will likely make a full recovery in time
 
God every morning I wake up and I see women and have no attraction to them. I actually feel like i'm gonna throw up when I see them. I just can't believe this is happening to me. I don't know what to do. It's like i'm living in a waking nightmare. This is getting to be not worth it anymore. I gotta find some way to get better there's gotta be something. They just can't make a drug out there that can just ruin you like this and there's no remedy. I just am so baffled that people have had so many more shots than me. And i'm suffering more and they are in recovery. Maybe people are right that the lyme disease I have is coexisting. Something's gotta give. What the hell was in this drug?
 
Today marks 6 months for me. Only improvements are I can feel alcohol now, I get morning wood occassionally from nothing for 11 months but not everyday like before. Recovery is a slow ass process.
