Nah i would not say that. Its def npt psychosomatic. Trust me. I dont have a victim mindset. Im working full time working out doing all the things and at 5.5 months off i still cant feel emotional highs. I cant feel music. I did on the 23rd after a long hard workout but not since then. Its just not psychosomatic if you absolutely cannot feel substances. Especially if ur doing everything u normally would be doing.

So how do you explain dudes who are fully sexually recovered after multiple injections. Body is incredibly powerful and if you believe you will heal indeed thats what gonna happen. If body can Heal cancer open wounds it can heal this neurotoxic shit easily too

How long have you been off brother?
 
So I had a very good conversation with my stem cell doctor/bio pharmacist. Basically, what we're going to work on is cells regenerating the areas that are damaged in the brain. I also told him i'm contending with lyme disease and high prolactin. I understand that is what its causing the hyporgasmia as well. He said it may take six months to feel some relief, but if we can get the lime under control with the prolactin His thoughts and my thoughts are to regenerate the damage areas.

I was talking about a different procedure they have. So the procedure you're doing the stem cells are injected with a catheter in the vein?
 
Being here only makes you suicidal and depressed. If i see 50+ ppl fully recovered like its nothing why the fuck i spend time here to read all these stories and depress myself. Im in contact with a guy who recovered after 5 years of injections!!!!

Did he ever get tardive dyskinesia though? I’m worried this means I’ll never recover.
 
Can someone give me a rational answer without talking or mentioning pig cops or some medical conspiracy theories. Can the Lyme disease that I have be halting my healing progress? Meaning, I only had one shot of this garbage drug, yet I have horrific symptoms compared to those who have had 5 times as much.I was wondering if that is the case?Any help would be so appreciated.Im thinking if I can get the Lyme treated and attack the prolactin issues with stem cell treatment, I could get some relief and hopefully regenerate areas of my brain.

That is probably a question best suited for a medical doctor. I would think you would be hard pressed to even find a concrete study on the subject, as recovery from both Lyme disease and antipsychotic damage together is a very niche, rare thing.

That said, the brain is a very powerful thing, and it is very likely you will make a full recovery. At least up to the threshold of where the effects of your Lyme disease manifest. Chronic fatigue and stuff might always be an issue. My sister has Lyme disease. It'd difficult for her at times but she has a full life. Fuller than mine, and I'm comparably healthy. She has kids and a family. I don't. Would rather have Lyme disease than bipolar.

Just my thoughts.
 
My anhedonia is fading but whenever I listen to music or pursue things intellectually I start getting a slight tremor all over my body , it must be something with the dopaminergic system but I have no idea how this could be happening .
 
I can feel nicotine I can feel coffee I can enjoy music , it’s tremors and sexual functioning right now. Should I consider leva dopa ?
 
i can listen to music more now, just so scared if they extended my cto or not i followed all the rules imma call the hospital to confirm they never sent me to court just made me sign a paper
 
#RECOVERY UPDATE#

Hello everyone, and happy 2024! As we welcome the new year, I find myself reflecting on this day one year ago when I discontinued my injections after receiving a total of ten. Many of you are familiar with my journey of recovery, some are new here, and others might be in the process of ending their treatment today or tomorrow. I want to share that while the road to recovery is lengthy, it does get better. You can expect to regain about 90% of your previous wellness, although reaching 100% recovery depends on the number of injections you've had. Typically, those who've had fewer injections might fully recover within a year or two.

Today marks the one-year anniversary of my last injection. This experience has been both a blessing and a challenge. The treatment was crucial in stabilizing my condition – I haven't needed hospitalization in one year and eight months. Yet, the side effects were incredibly tough. I endured nights of intense sweating, excessively long periods of sleep, and a constant, overwhelming feeling of doom. The physical symptoms were just as daunting, including tingling sensations, anhedonia, akathisia, and significant sexual dysfunction. But throughout this, I held onto hope.

A year ago, at 27, I refused to accept a diminished quality of life. Despite the emotional blunting and loss of interest in many aspects of life, I found solace in small things, like nicotine vaping. I stayed clear of drugs, especially weed, due to my susceptibility.

Gradually, I reduced my dosage from 100mg monthly, eventually stopping altogether and switching to pills. However, I'm currently not on any antipsychotic medications. One year medication-free, I feel about 90% recovered. It's like rediscovering my former self. Interestingly, the more we recover, the less we frequent forums like this. But I returned to offer hope to those who need it.

The injections helped me immensely, but the side effects made life unbearable at times. Now, looking back, I'm content with my 90% recovery. After enduring ten injections, I feared a lifelong struggle, but recovery is possible, usually within 12 months.

To those still on their journey, remember that these injections can be both a blessing and a curse. They're effective against delusions and psychosis but should ideally be a short-term solution. I wish everyone a steady recovery and hope you'll return to share your success stories. Stay strong, live on, and remember, I'm not a doctor – just someone who's lived through it.
 
I’m ending this year playing music and enjoying my own company in my living room, my four dogs are here too 😊I am reflecting on how far I’ve come in one year. I shed a few tears tonight. I happily danced to music again. I’m grateful that I’ve come through the toughest part of recovering ❤️‍🩹 I feel like I’m rediscovering more and more parts of myself daily. Keep your heads up guys, it gets better, each and every day.
 
I think Invega disconnects apart of us. I think we have to glue ourselves back together. We have to reconnect those parts of us that’s missing, by doing the things we once loved. Rebooting our old selves. Get out of the house! Surround yourself with positive people. Pour love into yourself, by being kind to yourself. Treat yourself to a massage. Take a bubble bath by candle light. Buy some house plants. Walk your pets. Join a yoga class, eventually you’ll realize things are getting better in your life! I am relearning how to create my own happiness. I take myself skating. I’ve joined a group that’s encouraging, it’s turning out to be therapeutic to me. I remember last year I had to force myself to do things again, now I’m looking forward to things again 😊 Have a Happy New Year 🎈
