“Its driving me nuts...to have completely blank mind all the time. Its like my brain is not working anymore after all this medications i had., Zyprexa, loqueen, seroquel, Abilify Maintena, Vraylar. I hate psychiatry...they ruined my life. I was very loving person and talkative and fun but now im just a mess without feelings without thoughts. I loved art and music and nature and animals, but now i cant feel the love, nothing brings me joy i cant feel pleasure...Im in tears everyday its the worst thing that ever happened to me...i dont believe i will get better , im being off medications for 4 months and no improvement 😞”
Cause
Antipsychotics: Xeplion/Invega (paliperidone) injections for 9 months, then Abilify Maintena; she also lists Zyprexa, Loqueen, Seroquel and Vraylar, and says 'these drugs totally damaged my brain'.
Duration
About 4 months off all medications at the Sep 8 and Sep 12 2023 posts, with no improvement; unlogged follow-ups through Sep 24 2023 describe the same state.
Recovery notes
[2023-09-12, post 16gtm6q] No recovery claimed at posting. Taking Mucuna and L-tyrosine without help. Asking for recovery hope. Reply claimed full recovery after 2 Invega Sustenna shots in 2015 (~8–10 months to exercise/MMA; off meds under doctor) — not this OP. No later OP recovery update Enriched from arctic-shift full OP selftext (2026-09-13). OP comments on thread: happy for others who recovered but self-describes as hopeless at that time. | [2023-09-08, post 16d66vo] No recovery claimed at 4 months off. Replies said wait 1–2 years; one said they healed after similar loss then worsened after later injections (not this OP). Nearby 16r5tpy (Invega+Abilify, 4 months off, same blank+numb language) looks like the same person — not logged separately. No later OP recovery update Enriched from arctic-shift full OP selftext (2026-09-13).

    “Is recovery possible? I've been on Xeplion ( Invega ) for 9 months ( while ive been on it i lost my period and got high prolactine. I also get sexual dysfunction and slowly I lost all my emotions :( later they switch on Abilify Maintena because my side effects were unbereable they said Abilify Maintena would be better but It wasn't at all, after i start taking it my period returned and that was all...but side effects were still the same. 🫤 These drugs totally damaged my brain :( I dont feel any emotion, i got blank mind all the time, i got no energy , it feels like im not a human anymore, I also became so stupid. I dont want to be like this forever 🥺 is there any hope for me ??? I feel hopeless...no improvement after being off for 4 months...😫 Im taking Macuna and L-tyrosine but it doesnt help at all. Im really afraid this damage is permanent 🙄 Cant live without love , without joy , without happiness , without excitement for the rest of my life. If you only can, stay away of this awful drugs !!!!!”
    Cause:
    Reddit r/Antipsychiatry first-person OP u/Suzy1323 (addressed as Suzy in a reply): Invega/Xeplion/paliperidone injections then switched to Abilify Maintena. Attributes lost all emotions + blank mind all the time / not a human anymore / became so stupid to the injections; high prolactin and sexual dysfunction on Invega; Abilify Maintena did not fix the cluster. Unused post. Nearby same-person follow-ups 16lz5qi and 16olhlj (blank mind + emotional numbness / no thoughts; Invega 9 mo + Abilify Maintena 4 mo; ~4–8 mo off) treated as same person — not separately logged. Distinct from known 16d66vo poly (Zyprexa/Loqueen/Seroquel/Abilify Maintena/Vraylar) and from Invega drugs.com cluster.
    Duration:
    On Invega then Abilify Maintena; ~4 months fully off at this posting with no improvement; related posts describe ~8 months total in the state / 4 months off
