I’am very disappointed by the arrogance of all the doctor i spoke with in these 15 months, they seem to have forgot something: i got injected and not them, but they pretend to know better than me how and for how long these injections affect me, the arrogance man.

If I can i will inject all of them and then act like they did with me. I’am very disappointed from the health industry in general. Hope i heal and i have a healthy life because i don’t want to see a doctor for the rest of my life

Refer back to my last post. According to the half life, at most it can stay in you for about 4.5 months. Assuming you aren’t obese or having some underlying chronic issue that would keep the “medicine” in your body for an extended period of time. If you don’t feel improvements by month 6, you need to consult something

I am much better than when I was on the risperidone, but still have a lot of emotional numbness. I wish I did pills instead of the injections.
 
The good news is, most people said their old hobbies come back after recovery but do the creative hobbies like writing or painting come back?
 
Before risperidone I used to run 50 miles a week, now I have no energy to workout. Hopefully that gets better soon

Congrats on being almost halfway there. When did substances like caffeine/nicotine start working again? Trying to figure out how long it’ll be until my ADHD medication works again

Substances don’t really work properly yet. I haven’t tried those, just alcohol. I don’t use caffeine or nicotine but I tried drinking last weekend and I felt a little bit but not much.
 
Do you know if tinnitus is permanent? And what about altered state of consciousness (being fewerish/blunted/drunk-like/inside a dream), is this also permanent?
