that was your mistake, you were volunteered to the psych ward because you couldn't do something else like counseling.
don't make the same mistake.

so, basically, you are not forced to take this drug.

Are you able to feel emotions? That’s one of the main symptoms for me, emotional blunting.

I don’t know, i only feel desperation, sometimes anger, frustration, are these emotions? But with all respect for you honestly at this Moment emotions are my last problem since my sympthoms are these:


Sleep
• Superficial, non-restorative sleep, with continuous awakenings.
• Impossible to sleep past 6AM.
• Unable to fall asleep during the day.
• Unable to feel tiredness.

⸻

Cognition
• Memory problems.
• Problem-solving difficulties.
• Concentration problems.
• Trouble completing one or more tasks without forgetting.

⸻

Perception
• Altered integration/perception of time (biological clock)
• Normal state of consciousness altered (sensation of being “high”/“feverish and dazed”).
• Absence of emotions.
• Blunted perception compared to normal.

(Diagram: before risperdal → balanced perception of past, present, future; after risperdal → narrowed perception, reduced presence in the present.)

⸻

Sexuality
• Loss of sexual desire, drastic drop in libido.
• Almost complete absence of erections (flaccid, nearly nonexistent).
• Almost complete absence of orgasms (very rare, incomplete).

⸻

Physical sensations
• Very frequent headaches.
• Strange sensations in the head.
• Muscular tension/rigidity.
• Total loss of appetite, partial hunger.
• No response to stimuli such as nicotine/caffeine.
•Tinnitus came out after 13 months

I don’t even care about emotion rn this is my last issue to think about, but i’am sorry you don’t feel them anymore, and idk How to help you or give you advices, idk even How to help myself.. These idiots Who did this to us should give us some real answers btw

I have a lot of the same symptoms - same cognitive issues, and muted hunger cues too. ADHD medication doesn’t work on me anymore, same with caffeine. I wonder how long it takes to feel substances again.

What’s different is I have a lot of fatigue and oversleep, opposite of you. Low motivation is one of the hardest symptoms to deal with since I can’t motivate to do even simple tasks.

Lack of emotions is the hardest for me because it’s really sad that I can’t feel love anymore, not even toward my baby. I love my baby intellectually, but don’t actually feel the emotion. Same with other positive emotions like joy, excitement, etc. I can’t even feel pleasure from eating ice cream.

Sorry for what they did to you.. hope one day someone start a genocide against psychiatryst and persecute them and lock them into their own facility and give them these injections too. It should be a solution for a big problem of the human kind
 
I’am just really afraid about they permanently damaged my brain because it’s not normal to have the effects of 2 injections after 15 months of discontinuation.. I feel that deep inside me that the damage is permanent, and i’am supposed to fall asleep but how i can if I think about that?

Someone should be relaxed when he go to sleep and not have to worry about his life being over, this so wrong.

I’m sorry you’ve had to suffer for 15 months, I’d feel the same way if I were in your shoes. I’m only at 4 months and think it’s permanent for me too. Time will heal though, it takes 2-3 years for some.

It's pretty weird that you think a whole group of people are evil. I've heard people say similar things about white people just because some of us are extremely racist, but we know it isn't true, we are not inherently evil just because of things our ancestors did or white privilege or whatever.

I don't think your psychiatrist did it to ruin your life, he did it in self interest.
Click to expand...
The whole group isnt evil. I repeatedly saw a pattern of evil, especially noticed a culture where every opportunity to destroy a life is availed, the psychiatrist was very shady, sinister, kept changing his story, before getting the injection ge said smiling " you have a great future". He knew what the drug would do to me, it was intentional.
There is evil in all races and i am very forgiving of most humans but some people are a level of evil that is unforgiveable.

In a few days it’ll be 5 months since my last shot, I’ve definitely improved and other people can see as well. I’m mostly worried that it’ll be a while until I can feel the effects of weed again though, I miss it a lot even though I don’t need to get high. I was still able to get high after my loading doses but it went away after a while which is what led me to do more research into invega as I thought it was a tolerance thing at first

What were your doses and number of injections?
 
I’ve spent the day reading multiple versions of this forum and it seems that recovery is seems that recovery is the rule and not the exception. The hard part and bitter pill to swallow is that it takes time, perhaps around six months before there is a breakthrough of any kind. It’s a waiting game and one that is pernicious in that it consumes you, well it has consumed me. In the meantime during this hell period of waiting, most of us suffer from anhedonia- and because of this we are unable to enjoy our previous hobbies and adequately distract ourselves. This makes waiting that much more torturous. We can only hope as time goes on, we can slowly begin to enjoy our recreational activities again. From what I’ve gathered it’s going to be a wait of around 6-12 months before the average person sees any improvement and in the meantime we can support each other on these forums.

@raw banana I was wondering if your recent positive experience is still current. You are sitting at that point where one can expect early signs of recovery.
 
90 mins ago I took 10mg of ritalin. I feel stimulated, not a magic pill but definitely feel something from it. A warm feeling over my body. This could be placebo but i feel a bit better nonetheless. Mixed with caffeine. Enjoying music more than normal. I was going to avoid meds but I thought fuck it.
 
Also trying my best to quit cigs. It will only aid recovery. I've cut back to 3 or less the last few days and today I'm going to try not have any. Using nicotine patches.
