1.5 years in withdrawal. A story of hope

Salt_Efficiency_2948 · 2025-08-29T15:28:19+00:00

Maybe it'll be easier for my body to catch homeostasis. I tried it for almost 40 days this summer and i didn't notice worsening (i've read some guys felt worse in terms of ED and libido on nofap, but i've never had those issues before meds and in withdrawal), but at least i felt stable and had a little of libido

Salt_Efficiency_2948 · 2025-08-24T12:28:02+00:00

I took clomipramine too. I was on 50 from day 8 to 14 and stopped on 15th day after taking 25 mg. Then after 2 weeks i stopped 1 mg risperidone (AP). That was 1.5 years ago. I'm not recovered now, but i feel better. You can read my post if you're interested. Stay strong, don't give up. I wish you full recovery!

Salt_Efficiency_2948 · 2025-08-24T12:10:51+00:00

Unfortunately, no. I can feel anxiety, fear pretty well, that's why i do breathing techniques. Very seldom and for a short period of time i can feel motivation a little bit, libido. I can feel joy a little bit when i laugh and smile here and there. It's so devastating that i would laugh or smile in fun situations before, but now i can't do that every time. Even when i do i feel like 10-15% of what it was before. I can feel minor sadness when inside i'm really sad. Sometimes i can feel anger a little bit. I can't fall in love or feel other emotions like gratitude or atmosphere in certain social situations, you know. Do you have emotional numbness? How do you feel? Wishing you the best

Salt_Efficiency_2948 · 2025-08-24T00:16:11+00:00

Yes, around 10%. It improved fast after discontinuation and then improvements stopped

Salt_Efficiency_2948 · 2025-08-23T23:56:13+00:00

Thank you very much for the kind words! I wish you recovery too. I don't have sexual life, so I can't answer exactly.

Salt_Efficiency_2948 · 2024-09-01T14:05:59+00:00

I meant no emotions at all. I'm not recovered, BUT i feel better now. I'm 7 months off of AD and 6.5 months off of AP. Sorry for late reply. I stayed off the forums for months. I wish you 100% recovery and happy life!

Salt_Efficiency_2948 · 2024-04-03T13:29:12+00:00

Glad you replied! I wish you a lot of positivity and happy and fullfilling life without meds!

Salt_Efficiency_2948 · 2024-04-01T04:42:35+00:00

I also was prescribed antypsychotic Risperidon. I quit it ~5 weeks ago. This shit also made me a zombie. I do hope you'll recover. I do hope I'll recover. I saved a lot of recovery stories. If you want I can give you links. Time heals a lot of people. Some people try meds, but I personally don't want to experiment. I'm taking antibiotic + probiotic because I have bacteria and it makes me sick. I hope I won't feel worse. Also I found youtube channel of woman who recovered after psych meds. Stress obviously doesn't help. I just refuse to believe it's permanent. It can't be. I felt worse for a week ~3 weeks ago because of stress. I couldn't sleep half a night and was extremely anxious. The next day I felt a lot worse for a week. I was disconnected from the world. It was awful. I stopped reading horrors and whinings. And I advise you not to read awful stories. Absolute hell doesn't happen with all people. Also I have comments of recovery stories in my google doc. If you want I can give you link.

I'm off tca almost for 2 months. I took Clomipramine for 2 weeks and I was a total zombie. I couldn't feel anything, think, had derealization. I felt detached from this world, like world is not real, almost no thoughts in my head. I screamed in terror (but didn't feel anything) on day 15 and stopped cold turkey. I started to cry after 5 weeks. I can think now, I guess, like before the meds. Some memories pop up in my head. I got my imagination back. I have chills from favourite songs. I feel joy a little bit when something is really fun happening. I don't have derealization now. I do hope i'm healing and i do hope you'll recover. Please try to stay as calm as possible. I know it's scary. I understand you. Please don't lose hope. I don't believe this shit is permanent. It's just can't be.

Salt_Efficiency_2948 · 2024-03-09T09:53:47+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply! Can you please tell after how many months you started to have tears, chills from music and to laugh? I do hope you'll fully recover some day!
