Hey guys, I think I may have pretty much recovered at this point, I can think on both sides of brain, I have motivation and energy again. I seriously thought I would never recover, but it seems I have.

If anyone wants to know how to recover, I think it's diet and exercise, just keep on exercising and eating healthy and your condition will improve. You need your body to get the nutrition it needs to have the energy to restore your brain, just sitting your ass on the couch and waiting for time won't work.

What I was consuming was, alot of milk, bread, avocado, meat. I was going to the sauna and exercising,. Try those things to get better as opposed to just siting on your ass all day. Try 1 step at a time, and I'm sure you guys will see improvements. Trust me, it's a slow process, buy you will improve with time. Good luck to you all! I know how torturous it was, and I remember thinking I would never get better and I did. So I hope you guys will be able to as well. Just remember to stay the fuck away from psychiatrist and psychiatric drugs, those things are poison! Mental to rid of ppl society doesn't like.

Thats great to hear and are encouraging words.

What you are posting about is what I mentioned earlier that we need to be proactive with our health. We need to get off our asses and do shit. Exercise, cook, diet, meditate will all provide what is necessary for full recovery.

Ofcourse, like you also mentioned we need to be patient, it will not happen over night but instead over time.

Thank you Gdvffh

Did you fully recover your sex drive. Are you able to get a natural erection without Manuel stimulation? How long have you been off Invega Sustenna? I have been off for 7 months and no improvement.

Joey2358, what kind of daily routine do you currently have? Would you say you are living a healthy lifestyle?

For your energy levels and erections you could try supplementing your diet until you fully recover from the dreaded Invega.

All The Best

what type of foods are in a ketogenic diet?

Well, its 70% fat, 25% protein, and 5% carbohydrates.

Many of the things that you thought are unhealthy are actually healthy on this diet just because you burn the the fat that you are consuming..

So you can enjoy an ample amount of bacon for example..

eggs are included fatty fish like salmon etc. and meats are included

Avocado's are really fatty as well as some nuts you can enjoy all kinds of vegetables

Mayonaise is good

Tuna

All kinds of things, Butter

Pork

In addition to the possibility of losing weight (I did- even on Invega) this diet makes you feel great and energetic all the time.

What exactly don't you believe, dull?

Here are a few resources that I found helpful when I first started the Ketogenic diet:-

and last but not least, ketogenic diet and psychotropic drugs:

Hope this gets you started and waiting to hear good things from you

ill read into it when i get a chance

Wiil Acetildenafil help with low libido? Anyone tried it?
 
Am at the point where I don't fear death. When I was doing good I feared death. I hope to die and hope to be reincarnated. Same face with a different body and genius mind being a rich guy with everything. I hope that being reincarnated I get to remember this shitty life.
 
It'll be 8 months for me this week, after eating healthy and going for regular walks I'm still severely impaired both cognitively, physically, sexually. No matter what anyone says I'm seriously skeptical about a full recovery from Invega. It's hard to swallow I don't understand how people how some people recover and some people don't. Before this drug I trained in bjj and weightlifting and had regular sex sessions with a 32 inch waist now I'm 36 inch waist going on 230 lbs. The drug has totally killed my metabolism too. All in all I think about falling off a building near where I live everyday. It sucks.

Hey man I really recommend you take it easy, Bjj is great MA but it is a long journey, Keep the regular walks and eating healthy, just need to wait man, you have to believe in recovery read about something called hedonic treadmill, your mind will re adjust to normal state, take vitamins and sweat a lot, stay busy if you cant focus, try coming back to Bjj, I also like it very much, For your low libido check your prolactin level and get cabergoline to treat it from the doctor, it should restore man, as for your cognition it will come back, physically as well, stay positive

best of luck
 
Joey, is there any other way to find you on facebook? I'm not sure how to search with an email
 
Hey.. Whats up everybody.. so yeh its been about 5.5 5.75 months for me so almost 6 months and everything is fine except the sex drive.. I mean it improved a little.. More is coming out and its less runny which is good and I am able to almost every day.. I actually wanna be able to take a break for 2 or 3 days at a time since I have noticed that I get better results when I do that.. so anyway yes 'it' improved a little Id say roughly at around 5 months.. I mean I'm limited right now but I can still use it and it would be fine for some girls but lets just say theres still a long way to go to where i feel satisfied so i feel your guys frustration for sure.. to the people suggesting viagra.. that shit is dangerous.. you can get a medical condition known as a Priapism Meaning you get a 4 hour boner that doesn't go away.. in which case you need to go the hospital and get the blood drained out of your you know what ASAP8o... unfortunately this isn't the worse part.. if your procedure isn't completed within 4-6 hours of the onset of your Priapism you could damage your erectile tissue and have ACTUAL PERMANENT loss of sexual functioning.

I say actual because ours is temporary.. I say this with confidence because I know I have gotten some of it back.. I mean honestly id be a fool or a blind man to not see the improvements that have been made since day 1 170 some odd days later so theres no reason (at least at this early juncture) to believe that I have reached my ceiling as to what I'll get back in that department but like i mentioned earlier we still have a long way to go.. its honestly gonna be at least 15-20 months guys and I'm not even gonna start worrying until its officially been 12 months which is 3rd thursday in April.. Im choosing to look at my progress in 3 and 6 month intervals it really is that long of a process.. because I have talked to people in the field and they all seem to agree that its half life is a year (at least the 234 which i got in february) and then it takes sometime for your brain to achieve homeostasis in which it stabilizes and returns to its previous functioning state.. and even if you take viagra safely and successfully (dont mix any drugs or alcohol while your on it for sure my cousins fiancé's dad smoked pot while On viagra and got a priapism) you still won't be aroused.. thats why our equipment is not properly functioning.. it has nothing to do with physical barriers.. its about arousal and dopamine and seretonin and also prolactin and weight gain if that applies too you... viagra is for old fat 60+ year old guys who's heart rate has slowed down because they're inactive and old and they have no blood flow because they've clogged their arteries with sodium and MAINLY CHOLESTEROL... Viagra is a blood flow medicine so it is VERY DANGEROUS :( dont risk it.. if its been less than 2 or 3 years off this Invega Sustenna Garbage I wouldn't even entertain the idea.. And until I get married and have at least 2 children I will NEVER take that risk.. I would like to be able to reproduce offspring.. and even though I am a shadow of my former self(But I remain optimistic and Im choosing to ignore that voice of pessimism deep inside my head every single day)... I'm still wary of the fact that it could be worse.. a lot worse and that at the end of the day I can still reproduce offspring..

Oh and last thing guys.. another expert in the field said theres NOTHING in the body that it doesn't recycle after 7 years.. I know thats a really long time.. but if your 26-27 like me and you wake up 33-34.. thats honestly not too bad I'll still have 5-10 years left of youth.. fellas.. czech it.. if after 3 or 4 years your in decent shape and your still struggling with this THEN and ONLY then should you look into the endless supply of male enhancement options that exist today.. because there are ones for arousal.. no one would fault us for it and if they did who cares. we all wanna make our girlfriend happy.. anyway stay healthy hydrate exercise limit the dairy and cheese and be very careful around doctors.. Szia boys

Update 13 months 10 months ago I thought I 97% but, looking back at it I was probably only 75% recovered. I just had a window that day. At 13 months I have made it through the deprssion stage. I want to go back to work. It has been a rough road but, I will make it through. I feel the only thing that will heal us is time. As time progresses the light switch will flip back on. Keep possitive and you will recover.

I'm glad to here that you are noticing some improvements. When you say your past the depression stage, do you mean you got ALL your cognitive functions back? Abilities like being able to communicate with others, not feeling anedonia anymore, and having your motivation to exercise and being productive with doing work and hobbies? I am 7 months in and i wake up everyday feeling like i have been hit over the head with a baseball bat and I am suffering from a traumatic brain injury.. who else feels like this? It sucks because I am doing absolutely everything I can to be healthy.. exercise, eating right, talking vitamins and omega 3s the whole nine.. It's really hard to hear that you are dealing with this bullshit drug 13 months later.. I feel soo sad for people who have to go through this because I know how they feel. It's like we are part of some kind evil experiment..

I agree and feel the same way. It does feel like an evil experiment. The last couple weeks I have gained my sense of humor back and I dont feel anedonia anymore. I finally feel joy in life again. I felt the same way as you at 7 months.I did the same thing you have mentioned omega 3 whole nine yards, I think it helps but your not going to come back to reality in to the drug wears off. I am going to get my blood tested this month to see where I am at. The way I feel now I think it is very little but, I do think there is still some left and I will let everyone know how much when the test come back.
 
Yes I can communicate with others. I feel like im back to reality now Yes I can exercise I am playing softball once a week two games and I'm going back to work Tuesday part time.

@dull,
Hey mate. You asked about Ciggies & Viagra. I smoke 30-50 rollies a day. It's putrid & something I've always hated (my old man was a smoker), yet I started when they locked me in hospital & haven't managed to give it away just yet simply because it's something to do. I feel nothing when I smoke. There's a Cigar/Tobacco you can buy - Mapacho (nicotina rustica from memory) - which the shamans and tribal peoples smoke as ceremony. I found some on eBay. It's apparently 30x stronger than usual tobacco, and I was told that it helps restore dopamine levels. .... It's heavy shit, which you will certainly feel. For me, I feel instantly happier - like quenching a thirst I guess. Awesome stuff.

I don't believe a word you say. show me some evidence. i need my dopamine its only like a qtr back i think
