It still really bothers me that they put everyone on a high dose to start this medication. What's the point of that? How could that even be considered safe when it's recommended that you start every other psych med on the lowest effective dose? Why do they give people these insane doses on invega and other LAIs? Is the lobotomy effect a desired effect??

I had more emotions and enthusiasm this week. I watched a really good cartoon that seems to have jostled some things in my brain.

I'm having halfway descent orgasms again and I'm mostly recovered from the PSSD crash from covid.

I'm also starting to feel better. Not perfect but way better than I did over the summer. I still can't believe this happened to me. It's like you're in a nightmare that you can't figure out how to fix. I'm persisted though i'm going to get better.
 
Joey Marino, who was destroyed by quetiapine has past few days ago. It is monstruous what this poison drugs can do to people. There should definitely be a lawsuit so this monsters don't get away with torture to death. Let's not forget about what they did to Joey.

St Johns Wort, I have a post on my account with the link to one. 60-70% of my anhedonia went away by month 3 so maybe it works.

I read his story last year, it was horrifying what they did to him. I would always think about him from time to time. I know I’ve had issues with being medicated. We’ve all experienced the horror of Invega. I couldn’t imagine going through what Joey what Joey would go through. I couldn’t imagine the torture he’s experienced. I mean day to day moment by moment movement disorders. I’m horrified and saddened that he had to experience this in his lifetime, saddened that all of us have this horror of psychiatry in common. I don’t have tick tok or Instagram but I’ve always wandered about what happened to this man… his story should be told world wide. I just had my daughter look it up and she’s told me that he passed away on Sunday. My God I pray he’s in a better place. I am saddened but thank God he’s out of that body :(

Hey guys please dont be too harsh on my i am telling the truth..
I have had psychotic issues cause of meds they gave me when i had fever..i then got a shot invega sustenna and never lost the side effects from it like anxiety... i am afraid i will end up in a shelter cause i cant take care of myself very well... i have an assistant and because of this invega induced anxiety i cant leave the house by myself... i know some ppl dont believe me cause its been 8 years since i have been in the shots...i am honest it has ruined my life... a lot ppl said to me the anxiety cant come from invega cause it left my System.... i know a guy that suffers from the same anxiety and he has been off for 5 years... permanent damages exist and i am very sad cause of it....

I agree with what you're going through. I don't suffer from anxiety but I have absolutely no sex drive. The only reason why i'm here is because I have four children. My life is torment that I can't be the father that I used to be. I'm also astounded that most people on here don't wanna go after their doctor. It's almost like we accept what they've done to us, and that's it. I'm not done with this Motherfucker. I'm looking into stem cell therapy you should try. It seems to be the only thing they can help us. But if you're in the United States you likely won't find the help because our educational system is for shit
 
Does invega permanently alter your metabolism or am I gaining weight because I have an appetite again and can't stop eating out of boredom?

Edit: After looking up, yeeeep that's it. I used to bored-eat all the time, but never at this frequency because I never had anhedonia and got dopamine from doing things instead of eating. I stopped bored-eating entirely when I was on Straterra and lost a ton of weight. I'm gonna cut this out immediately. I have got to reintroduce activity of some sort.

I went to the art museum tonight, technically yesterday and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I saw art from two of my professors there! I said "That's my teacher!" to someone and I cried because she asked me what I do now and I had to tell her I haven't made anything in almost a year, and I have no career because I was sick with a chronic disease since 2019. I didn't even get into the stuff with my ADHD and abusive parents.

I saw great art that I enjoyed, related to, and felt emotionally impacted or amused by. I'm proud of my little city's art museum. I see the main gallery all the time and they put up brilliant new paintings I had never seen before, and my favorite new piece in there is a large sculpture of a minotaur reading a little book.
