Yeah broThats amazing so you recovered almost fully from 9 injections?

Yeah broThats amazing so you recovered almost fully from 9 injections?
I thought the old me was gone too but now I feel like I'm slowly floating up to the surface. I got injected with the loading doses AND got PSSD. I'm starting to be that old caring, passionate creative person I once was.3 Month update:
I just can’t see a way out from this. I wake up with nothing to do everyday. I dread getting out of bed. The energy and motivation to do anything is just not there. I used to always find ways to keep myself busy before all this, now everything is just boring or pointless or both.
I just don’t understand how people can go through seemingly worse things like prison and still come out happy, where you’re stuck in a tiny cage with cellmates and a toilet in the room. If anything should kill your will to live it would be something like that.
On a positive note I can fully enjoy music now. Some fears and anxieties have settled down. It’s very hard not to be pessimistic when the injections and my time in the psych ward are what’s on my mind all day.
All I can hope for now is that I can get my energy back. With that I could try finding work or studying something. That would at least distract my mind somewhat.
I believe the old me is fully gone - I’ll never be that person again.
I got like 14 injections , last one 15 months ago .. not recovered at allHow many Clopixol injections did you get?
Are you still on them? did you recover?
Yup most recover. That's why reading these tragic stories might be bad for us. Read only recovery onesI thought the old me was gone too but now I feel like I'm slowly floating up to the surface.

It's really good that you can enjoy music fully so soon. I still can't, but every time I listen to music I notice my musical anhedonia has decreased.
I hope the next thread contains more links to recovery stories. There needs to be a big disclaimer at the beginning stating that most people recover from these injections and they recover from being overmedicated in general. I talked to lots of people first hand and I got secondhand stuff from my therapists and friends. So many more people recover from antipsychotics than not. It also should be known that it takes 1 or sometimes 2 years to make a recovery from this shit.
Oh no, did you recover anything at all?I got like 14 injections , last one 15 months ago .. not recovered at all
We should read realistic stories, so recovery and not recovery stories.Yup most recover. That's why reading these tragic stories might be bad for us. Read only recovery ones
You are still taking clozapine? You have to be off neuroleptics to recover from neuroleptics.We should read realistic stories, so recovery and not recovery stories.
Reading only recovery stories made me think I was going to heal and that never happened.
Yes, I am still on 200mg of Clozapine. But I know a guy who recovered from Paliperidone while still being on Abilify shots. I hope they reduce me Clozapine this week but I am scared of not sleeping anymore because that was the biggest Paliperidona damage in my case and the reason I am not off meds.You are still taking clozapine?

Same here, I was doing OK for a little while. Now brain is acting up again. Hopefully it doesn't t last to long.Scared that the brain burn has increased but not sure if I'm only imagining that because of other uncomfortable symptoms. We will see.
I can’t enjoy anything. Literally. Walking? No. Music? No. Video games? No. Reading? No. My brain doesn’t have the capacity to stay engaged /find pleasure or relief in anything. I just sit in bed and vegetate uncomfortably because I’m unable to do anything. I am beyond hopeless. Someone help! What do I do?3 Month update:

I probably wouldn't have PSSD if I didn't get so scared and try to fix things forcefully. Recovery from that is deeply uncertain, but I'm doing well for someone 7 months out in that.Yup most recover. That's why reading these tragic stories might be bad for us. Read only recovery ones
