Emotions - kinda but not really - Its really hard to explain. Thoughts - definitely no.
Anhedonia meaning to me is loving/enjoying the same things I used to like before Invega. That's definitely back to normal.
Don't worry about getting revenge on psychologist hes/she is just a grain of sand in the universe. I understand your angry I was too at the time just be kind to yourself.
If you haven't watched my video give it a watch.
Hey Dirtyinvega,
I watched your video, thank you for making it. I am proud of your progress you made in 2 years as much of hell as it's been for some of us. I have to say my experience has been different than yours. For me, my emotions have returned along with most of my abilities. I have been able to work, take tests, and care for others in my time off of Invega.
I believe some people will not heal 100% of the way. I think it depends on how many shots they are on and their healing abilities as a person, the ability for them to bounce back. Some will not be able to rebuild and recover the receptors that have been lost and depleted. Also about the brain being it's own recovery tool, I think it goes for everyone that the placebo effect is very powerful, so is having the mental energy to recover. I do not know why it is you lost your emotions, but from the video you seem to be doing well, your speech is good and you articulate well your thoughts came across clearly.
I don't have any suggestions without being too personal. On Invega, I lost my ex gf, my poor kitty passed away as I was coming off (so I felt numb for it thankfully), I was unable to hold a job, bed bound and hopeless, the worse depression as imaginable like you said, it happens when your on the invega and coming off it, there is no true release from this poison until you are well over 5 months in my understanding.
Your video motivated me to do a video, I hope people will see that there is a chance for recovery. I believe you can't rely on the body to do it all itself though, detox drinks, the right combination of antagonistic drugs, and perhaps what saved me the most was THC, some people on here think I am crazy suggesting that but... here is what I found, after I was already using THC.
