Mental Health Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v. 9

I've been on metformin for over two months now and I think it improved my memory and cognitive function a lot! I also think I ovulated so I'll see if I have a period next week. I am still having minor memory lapses though, sometimes the kind that would make me think I'm getting dementia if I was old. But it happens less often. The mild emotional blunting and erogenous numbness both come and go, with the emotional blunting being the most stubborn. I think I'm low in serotonin and dopamine so perhaps I shouldn't fear PSSD treatments so much. I'm definitely doing to try maca root next summer if I'm still having problems, and myo-inositol after that.
 
Friends, my last injections were on August 30, 2023. My sexuality has really improved and so has my energy. Just now I made love to my wife and it was just like before with a large quantity of sperm.

At the moment I'm sleeping a lot, it's been 1 week since I started rhodiola rosea.
 
Rhodiola rosea is an adaptogenic plant that acts on several neurotransmitters to regulate brain activity and improve response to stress. Here's a detailed look at its effects on neurotransmitters:


---

1. Effects on dopamine

Inhibition of degradation: Rhodiola inhibits the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO), which degrades dopamine. This increases dopamine levels in the brain.

Increased motivation: Thanks to optimal dopamine levels, it promotes motivation, pleasure and productivity.

Reduced apathy: Helps combat mental fatigue and indifference, often associated with dopamine deficiency.



---

2. Effects on serotonin

Increased serotonin: Rhodiola works by increasing the availability of serotonin in the brain, which improves mood and reduces symptoms of depression.

Emotional stabilization: It helps balance emotions by modulating serotonin receptors.

Anxiety reduction: Serotonin, reinforced by Rhodiola, plays a key role in reducing stress and anxiety.



---

3. Effects on noradrenalin

Modulation of levels: Rhodiola acts on noradrenalin, improving alertness and attention while preventing excessive overstimulation.

Stress response: It regulates noradrenaline release for better adaptation to stress, reducing the effects of chronic stress.



---

4. Effects on GABA

Indirect regulation: Although Rhodiola does not act directly on GABA (an inhibitory neurotransmitter), its stress-reducing effect may promote better regulation of the nervous system, which relies on a balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters.



---

5. Effects on acetylcholine

Improved memory: Rhodiola appears to enhance cholinergic transmission (linked to acetylcholine), improving memory, learning and mental clarity.



---

6. Effects on glutamate

Reduced excitotoxicity: Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter, and by regulating stress levels, Rhodiola can prevent excess glutamate, which can damage neurons.



---

7. Neuroprotection

Reduces oxidative stress: Rhodiola protects neurons against damage caused by oxidative stress, helping to preserve neurotransmitters.

Prevention of imbalances: It promotes a balance between dopamine, serotonin, noradrenaline and other neurotransmitters for optimal mental health.



---

Summary of its benefits on neurotransmitters:

Conclusion:

Rhodiola rosea acts as a global regulator of the nervous system, balancing several neurotransmitters. It is particularly effective in reducing stress, improving mood, boosting concentration and protecting the brain against the damaging effects of chronic stress.
