After psychosis lack of pleasure and emotionless

Hey Narshe, are things okay. I was just wondering since I've been on invega for 5 months now and I've pretty much lost my articulation, so I can't write like I used to with ease. I hope you're better now and hope to hear from you soon

Without pleasure there is no life. You are just a robot then.

Hey guys, 24, on xeplion for a year now, because I heard voices and can't feel a god damn thing. I can barely laugh, I can barely sh*t, I don't hear music anymore much in the same way I used too, I don't feel pleased while and after masturbating, complete apathy and depression with thoughts of suicide becoming more common.

I used to be full of life man. My voices were never as bad as this.

From what I hear on this forum, it is the medication. And I'm getting off of it. I will tell you how it was, but I expect anything is better than killing myself.

I feel the same. A year ago I was diagnosed with psychosis and was put on antipsychotic medication called Zyprexa. I took it for about a year. Now I am sober for about a month, but still feel empty and emotionless.

Same for me, I had a psychotic episode and was put on respiridone and now I'm switching over to ability. Have any of you fully recovered from this lack of pleasure?

I wouldn't take redpiridol, it takes away your life, I attempted suicide on it. Abilify is way better except it makes you gain weight easier but at least you can orgasm and feel somewhat normal. I've been off meds for 5 months now after being on them for almost two years. I can dance again and feel somewhat happy but I don't feel turned on for anyone or sensual st all still. My passion isn't the same. I hope it gets better

For Narshe81: I had a monthly depot of Xeplion just once in June 2017, I had your problems but my situation become slightly better with Akineton, 2 or 4 mg a day. Hope this can help...

How are you these days? Any improvement?

Hello there, would really like to hear if you are any better these days?

Hi, I experienced marijuana psychosis and I was put on risperdal for 7 month. During this time I felt emotionless and general dsyphoria. Two month ago I stopped medication and I am beginning to feel pleasure, energy and interest. Hold in there once you stop medication slowing, but surely your normal self will come back trust me. Best regards.

I don't think invega is a good drug, its made me emotionless too, I was diagnosed paranoid schizophrenia. I wish I would have never taken this drug, had I known it caused all these side effects I wouldn't have.

I'm fine guys, still on meds. Still emotionless but eventually I adapted. I quit smoking weed 7+ months ago. From what I experienced with this whole ordeal is, weed really f**ks with your emotion as well. I've been on and off of weed for a while now and once during a period of a 4 month abstinence, I actually felt emotion again! I could enjoy music again finally + my voices left! I smoked again for a spiritual reason, and all that emotion? Straight down the drain. + my voices came back. And it's been an even longer period this time that I've been quit and I still have yet for them to return. So my advice to everyone smoking weed still, is just to get off of it. You can look up all the side effects of quitting weed, there's even a sub reddit dedicated to it on r/leaves that shows proof of all the problems weed brings in a daily basis. So yea that's all for the update. I'm fine and I hope everyone else is too! Bless you all :)

That is the wrong attitude there.You need to change it.I suffered from Psychosis this year in March and was on heavy ass medicine.I stopped taking medicine in august and now in October I can find quite an improvement in my emotions and Im back to the just kidding kinda guy I was.I can joke around and laugh with people but trust me it was only coz I didn't even touch the bud or any drug during my recovery phase.So I think its all in the mind.The more positive you are the better and quicker youre gonna recover.I know how the thoughts drag you back into the blackhole that youre terrified of but say f**k that sh*t and move on.Join the gym,get a guitar,go dancing, do whatever made you happy and try to keep yourself busy and the most important thing.Stop thinking and start doing.I hope youre a lot better now.Peace :)

Dilli, bro trust me I completely emphasize with you coz I know we being vulnerable to the bud are very attracted to it albeit of whatsoever sh*t we are going on but trust me my Psychosis went away after 6 months of medication only when I stayed fully sober during my recovery time.Just stay away from all kinds of drugs and even cigerattes when you are recovering.Get off the meds then you can smoke the cigerattes and drink beer occasionally and your emotions will come back.Let me be honest with you, The bud aint for us.We are vulnerably to it.Just like some people are allergic to some foods our brain is allegric to marijuana so why not give it up?You know where y=our psychosis or schizo will lead us to anyway right.Death.not just bad for us but for our loved ones.So do what you used to love.What was your passion before you had psychosis except weed :P.Do it.If you had a passion for something go for it.Be it music,gymming,anything go for it.Try to find meaning in your life,stay positive,say no to friends who want you to take a drag and live your life.Comeon bro antipsychotics lower your sex drive.You don't wanna do that,There are a ton of beautiful ladies out there and you are surely a handsome yound man.Comeon don't f**k it up.f**k the weed instead.It aint for us.Just like some real hotass girl who we are in love with but I she aint meant for us.Think of it like that and move on.Youll be the person you were.Sorry for such a long freaking message but I cant help but relate with you.Peace :)
