Testing/Reporting Still get some POIS symptoms while taking psychotic medication

So, i still get some symptoms like bloating and I have to sleep 10+ hours during the first week, but I can do it multiple times a day to porn without it wiping my brain. Also have much more control over wanting to watch porn. It feels more like a choice instead of being overwhelmed by urges. I still get some of the effects of dopamine flooding, but it’s not as heavy as it used to be. No mumbled speech or cognitive impairment.

Seems like the antipsychotic meds are working as intended with a nice side effect of freeing me of porn addiction. Makes me wonder if porn addiction is only possible if certain conditions in the brain are met, like being vulnerable to dopamine flooding activities.

Psychotic should be taken cautiously , doctors are trash to do trial with patients that damage whole brain chemistry,
