Tbh I am scared that my cognitive issues are worse than everyone here's, my memory and concentration are so bad that I can't watch TV, I can't read, I can't focus on a conversation (or anything else for that matter) for longer than a few seconds... please, can anyone relate to having extreme brain fog on this level? Or know of anyone / any user who did?

Sorry I am just really scared / disturbed and feeling desperate. This is day 36 for me. I can barely perform simple tasks like making coffee and showering, because it's a sequence of events that I can barely piece together / focus on. I did have ADD and possibly a slow processing speed before the shots. I'm also trying to not catastrophize or psych myself out with the thought "I'm doing the worst out of everybody in this thread (cognitively)", but that's how it feels right now. That's why I'm posting though, because I need to know if other people experience the same thing - I know that other people talk about brain fog, but has it been this severe for anyone else?

Yup that’s the beginning.... most likely it won’t get better for a long time from this point. You will just begin to adjust to the new normal. It sucks but In another month or two you’ll forget how you use to do certain things... and just begin to accept that your a different person from before. Recovery is a bitch... you can dwell on it or just go with the flow up to you.

Thanks for your response. Do you mean to say that you experience/d the same thing? And it hasn't gone away or improved with time?

Wow, I'm really glad to hear that you recovered. I've been keeping you in my prayers for a while now. I know you had to wait a long time, but I'm glad you didn't give up. Thanks for coming back to let us know you recovered.

Thank you so much. It’s been along road.

That’s awesome man. I’m glad to hear you recovered. I’ve read all your posts and I was genuinely concerned about your recovery since it took such a long time. It’s great that you were able to finally pull through. There’s definitely hope for all of us.

Yes thank you so much man. It was really a scary experience.

The sad truth is guys J&I has created a medicine to cure delusions they steal all dopamine and serotonin... for kife .. I think anyone that has recovered probably didn't they are just saying they did.

I'd be careful about making posts like this. There was another user named Malakoff who made posts like this and I believe he was banned for it. I'm starting to think you're a troll.

ihateinvega is right.

Sbar25, i understand you are suffering. But please try not to project your own pessimism onto everybody else. Recover is 100% possible. Did you not just read lifelines post? And the many others? A lot of people are going on with their lives, fully recovered. Maybe you should respect those kind enough to come back and give hope, and listen.

Again, i get that you're suffering. You WILL get better in time. Everyone does.. 100%? Up for debate. But time will heal your wounds i am sure of it.

I have been following this thread for about a year.

It was like that for me during my first 4 months. Couldn't even talk to anybody or stand or sit still in class.

Hello everyone. I hope this message finds you with peace. I just wanted to update you all on where I am today. I feel for the most part I am fully recovered. My thoughts are clear, my emotions are back, I have an appetite and I can get hungry, I can feel happiness and joy, I’ve been sleeping much better this past Saturday I slept 9 hours that’s the longest I’ve slept in a while. The only issue I have is that I still can’t take naps but I can deal with that. I feel the effects of alcohol and marijuana. I’m working full time again and I’m using my degree. I’m honestly grateful, this was the hardest experience I have ever gone through and to be honest even though I’m feeling much better. I still have some trauma bc this was a scary experience. I pray a speedy recovery for anyone that is going through this. Don’t give up. I wanted to everyday. Until eventually the season changed, to God be the Glory. It took me from April 2018 until about January 2020 to start to feel a difference and I’m so thankful to God that I’m still here. So there’s hope, I am an example. Wish you all the best. If you need anything or insight just hit my messages. I’ll hang around for a while so that I can be here for you like the people I know before that we’re here for me.

brother I had the exact same issues to a tea, if people were talking to me they’d be talking to a brick couldn’t take in long sentences plus my memory was awful still is but I’ve recovered just a lil better, plus my cognitive skills are still affected to this day honestly I feel a fourth grader could be smarter than me and I struggle in connect 4 with my little sister, but I’m sure not in the same position I was once in I’m not a zombie no more. I’ve been 3 and a half months off now
 
will I ever get enjoyment out of life ever again. Geee... If I can ever just work on my motorcycle and get enjoyment out of life again I will be so happy.??
I just talked to.a doctor and he basically is saying the same thing. The entire system is in on it. The research has shown that this drug may permanently damaged the receptors.

What research is this? Pubmed has nothing.

Even physically altered receptor protiens do not last forever. Receptors on the surface of neurons are internalized and replaced over time. There are, for instance, drugs that permanently bind opioid receptors, but even they do not produce effects that last forever.

I really hope that is the case. I hope once the medicine is gone, Even if the receptors are destroyed, I hope and pray that my original brain chemistry will return to pre invega.
Who knows thi. Invega is so dirty anything is possible.
"But even they do not produce effects that last forever"
Does that mean when invega is gone even if the receptors are damaged they will replace themselves and regrow new receptors?
 
Ya I'm hoping man I think they are giving way to many drugs too to many people.
If I can recover I will be really happy. I'm worried my "crazy" self is gone forever.
I'm just want to live a life of dopamine again I will forever regret getting diagnosed as schizoeffective
