Can someone recommend serious supplements against the anxiety from these cognitive impairements?

Ive tried meditating but it makes my ocd and anxiety worse. Im hesitating to take anxiety meds, im afraid of these side effects. Dont have them but can ask them to the psychiatrist.

Sorry if im mentally retarded or what its is the only place where I can relate to people with same problems.

Also have disturbing dreams since taking antipsychotics

It's D1 that is mostly about cognition. Some D2 activity is probably beneficial, making things seem more novel, but this doesn't really help with critical thinking.

The negative symptoms of schizophrenia are probably due to a lack of dopamine in the neocortex.

The 5-HT2a antagonism (and probably 5-HT2c antagonism) that characterizes atypical (2nd generation) antipsychotics is supposed to effect dopaminergic action in the neocortex. This is supposed to reduce negative symptoms or at least make it more tolerable.

The third generation include these mechanisms. But instead of stopping D2 from activating, they, as partial agonists, create a floor and ceiling of activation, the latter of which is more pronounced in higher dose.

Some people include cognitive symptoms as a third group of symptoms, while others include cognitive impairment in negative symptoms.

Let's keep it to no prices and no recommendations on taking psychoactive substances. Let me know if this happens please. I don't want to play sitter.

Clears things up. You seem pretty knowledgeable on this stuff.

So your telling me There is a chance of recovery.? A hope.? A possibility.?
A sliver of hope?
6 months off 1 shot checking in things have improved slightly but nothing extreme hoping recovery happens!
Had anyone noticed anything at 6 months I would assume it takes 2 years to clear fully clear 1 shot plus another little bit for brain recovery

i've been trying to tell you this, haha. you'll be okay bro. just drink your daily amount of water so you can pee it out at a normal rate, eat 3 meals a day atleast to poop it out at a normal rate, get 20-30 minutes of sunlight a day, take St John's Wort 2-3 times a day, and take Sulbutiamine 1-2 times a day to upregulate the D1 and D2 receptors. very basic things you can do to ensure your recovery man.
 
I've fallen into bondage of pornography again maybe it has to do with my dopamine being blocked idk man I'm ready for it to be over and get my dopamine back thoughts emotions are you.!
 
Sbar25, we all understand your pain. But constantly complaning doesn’t do anything on your healing process. Everyone here is also suffering but no one else is complaining like you. Just calm down, it’s only been 6 months for you and there’s still hope. Some people took much longer to recover.

in bondage? what would that have to do with blocked dopamine? if you're in bondage with porn again then that means your dopamine is somewhat working. it's unhealthy to be in bondage rather than just getting your rocks off, but it's a sign you got alittle bit going.

Quick question. When do you think this thread will be closed? I noticed v2 closed around 300 pages and we're getting close to that. Will there be a v4?

So ive read that brain shrinkage is reversible over time?
Is it true?

i read that too. "quickly reversible changes to brain volumes that does not reflect a permanent loss of neurons."
 
Its funny though some days these withdrawals symptoms are better than some other days. But they in overall still there.
 
Hi guys im feeling way better enjoying music a bit even dancing to it and video games too. im really scared my weed high or getting drunk wont return or be the same im 5 months in now. i was on haldol which is stronger dopamine blocker then invega. After i told my doc it was causing depression they were gonna switch me to invega (how i found this forum) What worries me is that i still felt weed a few months in on haldol but then something just changed and i stopped being able to feel it. I really hope it wasnt something permanent. Other then my favorite thing to do ever being taken away im actually doing okay but if i have to live the rest of my life sober im seriously going to end it all nothing compares to me just having great weed and music. not even coke or heroin which ive done can compare to my love for the kush ive literally even went to Afghanistan when i was 18 to smoke the finest even better then the stuff here in cali
 
I have a plan. Anyone else in the same situation pm me even though the mods can read pm's
 
You know what guys? I'm done. I really am. I'm not gonna act like nothing has happened anymore, I'm gonna fight for my rights. They've misdiagnosed me, they've made me speechless, suffering, dumb, depressed, anxious to the point I can't do anything. This is not some basic stuff that I have to endure and live my life like nothing has happened. They've taken my life away, I'm close to suicide everyday, but I know that killing myself won't solve anything. They will live like they're innocent, no one will care. It's a medical malpractice what they did, I don't know how it's in the States, but in Poland you can go to jail if you've made a serious mistake as a doctor. And you can get a really big compensation for that as a patient. I'm gonna do whatever it takes, so I can make sure they're not gonna get away with that. I'll go to my psychiatrist tomorrow with my mum and we're gonna talk about it. Wish me luck.
