How many months off are you now?The last shot I had was back in 2013 and I'm still not recovered. Anhedonia is still the same as ever. The only thing gotten better is the inner torment which has been replaced by constant feeling of uneasiness and discomfort. Constant dysphoria, the complete opposite of weed high if I can explain it. I still can't get high or drunk off anything and cigarettes still has no taste/feeling. This is hell. It's been almost 5 years and I'm still a wreck from 12 of those injections. I fucking hate invega sustenna and psychiatry.Excercise, diet, mediatation, supplements, I've tried them all.Will anyone just hurry up and start a class action lawsuit so I can join in.Right now I am:- unable to feel any type of pleasure or comfort - anhedonia- emotionally less complex than a fucking potato- no sex drive at all - forgot the last time I felt 'sleepy' or 'hungry'- no motivation to do shit- vocab shrunk, feeling like I lost at least 40 IQ points- memory problem and can't concentrate to do anything meaningful- constantly feeling bored and we're talking extremely unnatural level of boredom- constant inner dysphoria, like the opposite of weed high all the time- no substances, foods, drugs, etc can make me feel anything... the list goes on but fuck it

I had 3 injections and I am off for 3 months. And you scare me with your years like that.

Feels like its possible for me to last way longer than 8 months
 
Would any noticeable difference be experienced for someone going from 150 to 100mg of invega sustenna ?

Thank you.

P.s really hope so
 
Hello everyone I hope you all are doing well! I am still struggling with anhedonia and I'm bothered by not being able to enjoy alcohol. In 2 weeks I will have been off the shot for 8 months. I'm hoping for some drastic improvement but I'm not getting my hopes up. The fast I did didn't seem to help. Keep us updated everyone and thanks for listening to me.
 
Hello Fellow Poisoned Souls. Its week 30 for me. Does any one else pace back and fourth all the time. Any one else fell like a fog driving them crazy in front of the brain? My symptoms are anhedonia Depression I just fell uncomfortable on this shot. I hope Its gone by month 10 or atleast im able to enjoy video games like I used to. I also went from 190-265 so far on invega.
Also Should I take wellbutrin vraylar docter prescirbed or will it slow recovery down. I was taking it for a month but couldnt fell nothing. sorry for bad grammer IQ was low before invega lol. Copperdome looks like where at the same state race you to see who gets better faster. my last shot was 9-29-16

Months 1 through 2 were HELL. Month 3 was bearable. Month 4 was when a lot of my more negative feelings and emotions started to return and I would have windows of normalcy on certain days. Around the beginning of month 5 is when I started to notice huge improvements. Then one day around the end of month 5 I woke up and realized I hadn't felt anhedonia in days, was pulsing with energy, and I felt social. I realized I'd been having conversations without stuttering or being at a loss for words. Today I'm actually thankful for my experience. It put a lot of things in perspective and helped to bring about great positive changes in my life.

How many shots you took and how is your sexual dysfunction?

Hi, I've been following this thread since 2014. I'm in the same situation as you (except I took Zyprexa as opposed to Invega). Have you tried a stimulant like Dexedrine or Concerta? The reason I ask is because I take Concerta, and I've noticed a modest but significant reduction in my anhedonia. It doesn't give me a rush like before, but it makes my life bearable. Maybe a stimulant would help you.

No more sexual dysfunction. I had 2 shots at 234mg. I wasn't court ordered so I rejected the third shot. I remember after the first shot telling my nurse practitioner that for some reason I was thinking about death a lot and everything was starting to feel bland and meaningless. She shrugged it off.

I had 3 but dont know exactly the dosage. I am starting to think hope exists up untill 2 shots only

My last shot was 9/27/16. I hope we both recovery quickly and fully. I have a had a couple of decent days recently I hope recovery is a lot closer for both of us. I really hope it is alot closer to 8 months than 10 or more. Really there are only a few people who claim to have never recovered after years. I think that could be due to several things. They all seem to have had many shots. Also it is possible that schizophrenia does exist within them and causes on going problems. Perhaps they are older and don't have as much neuroplasticity. I don't think we have anything to worry about. I am going to CDL school right now, if it takes longer for me to recover it shouldn't bother me as much. I won't have time to sit around and worry about it and my days will be filled with long hours. I hope everyone else is doing well and it has been good to hear from you all.
 
3 years later...

Well it's been almost 3 years since my invega sustenna shot. I can say i'm almost recovered(i still burp quite a bit). I'm currently on olanzapine(anti-psychaotic) and zoloft(anti-depressant). However, I've made an appointment with the same psychiatric facility that injected me. I plan on getting at least two more invega sustenna shots.

Why would I? Because I believe it would be more of a permanent solution as opposed to taking olanzapine. I look back and think how much it sucked but really, it was good for me.

I think "recovering" is just returning us to our initial stage, and then what? We are crazy again.
 
One thing that really pissed me off then and still pisses me off now is the fact that from what I've read, almost every doctors people have seen have lied to them saying that invega sustenna is a new drug, that it has no side effects, better than old a-typical antipsychotics, and only stays in your body for a month. All fucking lies. I've read so many posts where people suffering from invega sustenna started taking the injection because the doctor told them a similar story. Isn't there anything we can do about this? It's been 5 years almost for me and I still am suffering from this. My life has been destroyed. Isn't there a class action lawsuit for this? This is all fucked and I fucking hate the world we live in.

They make a killing with this med too I have read that it's something like $2000 a shot for this med. No wonder almost every docs I've ran into kept pushing to prescribe this med. Become one of their life long customers, eh.


Fuck everything.
 
This thread is definitely something else. The people range from people that weren't even effected by Invega to people who claim to have never healed. 90% of everyone heals... no offence to anyone but people who claim to have never healed could possibly actually have a mental problem... or too old for their brain to heal itself. I hope you all are doing well and I appreciate all of you. I am not healed but I am feeling better than I have in 7 months.
 
Just bought st jonhs wort online. I dont live in the US, so not easy to find

I hope it works and i will overdose on that crap

What about caffeine pills? It speeds up metabolism and reduce weight. Has anyone tried? I think they could help. Will be using them too
