Yeah it sucks, I'm seven months off and I only sometimes feel alittle bit. I drank nice bottle of wine last night and it was a complete waste because I didn't even feel alittle fuzzy.

Besides that I'm feeling pretty good, I can solve puzzles and figure things out well now and I can remember the things I need to. I am mostly functional, but I'm still missing at least half the sensitivity in my clit , hopefully that fixes itself, but I've not had a lot of improvement with that at all,

That and the lack of effect from alcohol are the only two things I'm worried about being permanent at this point.

What does your clit have to do with invega, so silly
 
Does anybody else have difficulty expressing how messed up they feel or wut they are going through, I can’t even tell people about my suffering. Its going to be 3 years in few months, no relief. Everyday is struggle to get through. I can’t do simple tasks like washing face, brushing or showering. Are we stuck in this nightmare for forever, how will things ever improve. Some part of my brain is working fine and some parts are not working which makes living life is pure hell. No one believes me when I tell them I’m unwell cause physically I look fine. My old friends ignore me cause I don’t make sense to them, cause my brain is blank I have no thoughts it’s like I’m in a different zone. I’m only 32, if I’m stuck in this for as long as I live how will I live the next 50 years being all screwed up in the brain cause of invega. I feel alone and I feel like I’m in some sort of afterlife and I feel this will go on for decades.
 
Its been quite awhile since my last post. I was on pills for about a year and had over 24 monthly injections at 117mg. Ive been off invega sustenna for 2 years, 6 months now. I went Into a drug induced psychosis and misdiagnosed with type 2 bipolar, if that even actually exists. I learned everything there is to know about this drug during my first year off it, in the end it’s just given me a way to understand what was going on but in the end it really didn’t matter. I am completely back to normal, better now than I’ve been in my whole life. I still can’t smoke thc, though I can drink a little bit, I know I still have more time left before I can do that since I was on the drug for so long, trust me the body is a powerful thing when it comes to repair, it just takes time. I’d like to share a little information on my experiences. CBD is the only drug that will truly help you, during and after recovery. Make sure it’s high quality, if it’s expensive, it’s good stuff. I also recommend rhodiola extract for fatigue and energy. Get a good amount of physical activity as much as you can handle and avoiding anything the body needs to work even harder in order to recover. Avoid non-organic cigarettes, high processed foods, any chemicals your body will have to be detoxifying on top of repairing your brain, as much as possible. Above all things the key to recovery is time. Avoid adderall, I took 30mg to 60 a day for 4 days and it fried my brain afterwards, uncontrollable eye twitching and unbelievable brain fog, I felt like a meth addict coming down. Because of the mechanism of action in ritilan works differently you can use that instead but sparingly and only as needed but I don’t recommend it. At my 10 month mark my true withdrawals kicked in, if I was somewhat physically active my whole body went numb and I collapsed to the floor and I could barely breathe, and I had horrible brain fog, headaches and some moments of sever agitation, this lasted about 2 weeks. Almost lost my job but the cbd saved it. If you weren’t on it as long as me it shouldnt be that sever but I thought I’d mention it. But do not lose hope, I lived in hell every day, I thought of ways of killing myself everyday while on this poison, but you can return to normal and live life again, just don’t give up. I have tons of energy, my creativity is back, my emotions are back, I am truly alive again.

@jmoore can you still not smoke THC or drink alcohol because you don't feel the effects or because of psychosis risk?

THC used to make me sick on top of not really feeling a high, the high just has never felt right, still doesn’t. I don’t really get a euphoric feeling out of it. I’m not worried about psychosis at this point, I had afew small episodes due to coming off the medication itself, but I broke out of them myself, antipsychotics don’t actually stop psychosis.
 
side effects often escalate existing conditions, unfortunately i have 2 doses of invega untouched and the trashmob dictatorship that issued them is still fooling itself into forming a bone-on, hard work being a nutcracker. you might wanna say lol.
 
Look I'm going to be upfront with you guys right now from a mod perspective. A few individuals are about to ruin this for everyone. The constant bickering and bullying, the alt accounts, the threats of violence ect have to stop. It has to stop now. We as a team are considering closing this thread and not allowing a specific discussion on invega to be hosted here. We don't want to do that though.

Some things have to change. First the bashing of people who report symptom improvement must stop. This needs to be a supportive place. Second the name calling and bickering needs to stop. Especially creating alternate accounts to attack people. We want this to be a place you guys can feel welcome. But we won't allow the chaos to continue and fester.

Consider this a final warning for the thread

This 100%. We're all in the same boat here
 
I would hope this thread isn't closed as it has seemed quite helpful to several people over the past few years.

The few who insist on running others into the ground out of envy can simply be put on ignore :)
 
@cj , please don't let one guy ruin it for everyone.

This thread saved my life when I thought there was no hope.

I think it has done that for others too.

It's really just the one guy, malakoff , who wants to make everyone miserable. Don't let him destroy this valuable resource, there is really no where else on the internet for us to go.

I agree
 
Makaloff is just as scared and is hurting just as bad as anyone of us. I don't blame him. Recovery can take many months even years. Maybe u can never recover. It's been 8 months since I been off the injection and it still lingers and is torturing me everyday. I am misserable, theres no doubt about that. I don't think I'll ever recover! My deppresion is the worst by far.
