Just got my blood drawn. Going to check my prolactin levels, various Lyme diseases and other blood panels.I am really loosing my patients with this psychiatrist who did this to me.They apparently did this to another person and they are very sick.This cocksucker is a real piece of shit like the other doctors that hurt all of us.I don't understand how they get away with this.I really dont.They should be put in jail for life

You gotta realize what a bunch of screwballs everybody is on here. They think that meth and other drugs are okay 8. When the public who is normal would think this is crazy.

The dopamine receptors are blocked or damaged from antipsychotics and meth might help to clear them out. On another forum somebody said that maybe what was needed was a powerful agonist. Meth is a powerful dopamine agonist and releases alot of dopamine. With proper discipline you can use it as fuel. Heroin if it was pure really isn't that bad for you either. Because of this opiates have been called 'God's own medicine' before. The guitarist of the Rolling Stones Keith Richards used to use coke as fuel. He would use it to come up and to write his songs, then he would take heroin later to come down, and the running joke is that he's still alive.

Honestly I do understand and I deeply fear that to be the case for me as well. I just have to believe and hold on because what else is there.

I did not get injections but had 9 months of pills. I didn’t need them and they made me actively worse.

A friend of mine who works in pharmacy said it’s actively known to be considered unsafe to continue these drugs past 2 weeks. So an injection is truly criminal, not to mention several.

There’s got to be something to hold onto man. Some kind of goal. Are you med free at moment? You’re not taking other APs?

Edit: also @dontGiveUp is 38 and he recovered after 9 injections and it took him almost a year or two to fully recover. He isn’t in his 40s yet but he’s close. There’s still a chance for you.

I’m pretty sure he recovered off 12 injections

Well that’s even better. Praying and hoping for us, guys.

After 4 months I will say I did recover some of my personality, I’ve been able to talk to people, joke around a little bit, and become smart enough to realize the extent of the damage (which before I was oblivious to).

Any amount of recovery is a good sign guys. Keep working out, using your brain—things will get better.

Of course I’m terrified too but we gotta keep up the hope!

Don’t think like this! Please fight this feeling!!! You will get better in time. I can’t promise 100 percent improvement. I can promise improvement! Don’t lose hope.

Sorry to hear what happened to you, i was forced these injections, they gave me choice. im 40, so little older than you and very less chance of recovery. its over for me for sure, i cant live my life like this anymore, esp cant hang on for anther year, having nothing inside , no motivation and no sleep its a nightmare, i cant battle anymore.

How many injections did you have? I had 4 injections, its been ten months since my last injection and no improvements. its sucks, just thinking of my exit

Instead of thinking of your exit focus on something else. I am close to 40. I have improved. I believe that you will improve too. I had to get out of my own head and live life again. Instead of laying around thinking about leaving this life, I’m choosing to live this life. Nourish your self now. Take long walks. Talk to a friend when you’re feeling down. Adopt or spend time with your pets. Find ways to get throughout your day. I hope that I can encourage you guys to keep going.
 
I got my blood work back.They didn't explain things but they said my prolactin was 8.6 and my vitamin b was 286.Dont know what it means

An agonist isn't what you need. You need a substance with a higher affinity for the receptor site than the existing blocker. There isn't anything on the market as you would need to engineer that molecule. An agonist will still be hindered by the lack of receptor sites, i believe you'll just have a blocked uptake of dopamine.

These drugs do more than just receptor blockage but there's no actual map of the full issues. Time off of any substance and trying to naturally recover is really the best option I've seen in those dealing with this... anyone i knew who took the drug part ended up back in care facilities. Be very careful, but it's your life.

I got 6 injections and I could not recover because I stopped sleeping and need more antipsychotics to sleep. My last injection was the 13th December 2021.
 
I am so grateful that i've made it this far and can spend at least one more Xmas with my children. I've lost so many friends from Invega this year. So many good people who have been victimized and lost at the hands of butcher doctors. I never valued life until I got injected with this. I don't know how much longer I can last but at least i'm here for today. I wish you all a merry christmas and please stay safe. I wish you all the best and please keep fighting.

is it a sign that most receptors arent blocked if thc 5 months off decent medium dose made me mildly euphoric ( used to be intense ) and made me laugh at everything, music sounded fire, i was feeling attracted to some girls and was very excited to go outside and try to talk to one, wanted to bike, video game was amazing, had a comfy nap, etc it made me feel 10x better, is this a good sign and does it mean most of my receptors arent blocked anymore, i have around the lowest dose of pill form still in my system so the injection is still in my system and my prolactin is still very high and low testosterone
 
I might have to stop smoking. Makes me feel like shit and realize that there’s something wrong with me. I just feel like shit. We all do it’s what this invega has done to all of us but keep hope and get closer with Jesus Christ. Follow him. My memory and everything is bad and it puts me in a phycosis. My whole body shakes and I’m extremely twitchy. It’s so uncomfortable. And it’s worse when I think about it. Off weed I’m a lot better and calmer. It felt like my body was fine and now it’s all twisting and uncomfortable. Like it did when I was first on the medication. But I need to pray to Jesus Christ because that’s when times get better.

Here is the catch tho; sometimes people do not survive cancer. Or stuff. I consider it most likely, that while you are probably not completely mistaken, there is also a huge luck-factor. We don't really know enough of these drugs to make hasty conclusions.

I made stupid quote but the conversation was TL;DR about why some people claim they get better and some claim they don't.
 
Coming up on 3 months tomorrow and it feels like the next months are going to be easier than these previous three. The first month was unbearable pain from knife like chest pain that was lucky to go away after 2 weeks of constant pain every day. My anhedonia at this point was a small window of consciousness that felt like I was put inside of a dark box with the top slightly open so I could peer out into reality. Chest sensations happened at month 1 1/2 where it was disabling but not as bad as the knife chest pains but still bad enough for me to complain every day. Up until this point I have noticed that my anhedonia is better from month 1 and could still be improving on a linear path but I'm still not sure about that and it could be a coincidence but it definitely has improved since month 1. I still have the chest sensations but at a less interfering rate that lets me live life some days. I'm interested to see where I'm at at the 6 month mark and if I see more noticeable changes. My eyes still look weird when I look into the mirror.
