been off the poison for 2 1/2 years after 18 doses of 234mgs and still cant get drunk or get affected by caffeine but I can love again and life is getting better slowly. maybe I'll get drunk again at the 5 year mark hopefully

you should try calling several physicians and see how much invega is still in your system. that's good though that you can love again man. and the 5 year mark is realistic considering you got 18 234mg shots, which is really fucking hefty, but i'm hoping less.

I feel so tired all I do is lay in bed all day and do nothing. School is starting in around 40 days hopefully by then I’ll have enough energy to do school work.

you honestly might have to just skip out on school if your energy is that bad. people probably aren't going to believe you're incapable though. and 40 days isn't that long so i honestly doubt you'd be better by then but i'm hoping you are. how long have you been off for, man? and how many injections at what mg?

I’m considering starting school in the spring semester. I’m on day 92, so I’ll be around 9 months from Invega sustenna by the time school would start in spring. I had one 234 mg dose.

that would probably be the best thing to do. and then go to summer school or something and spend the summer catching up. i am looking at an invega graph though and it shows that a 234mg shot takes about 48 weeks to get rid of, or 11 months. but you theoretically should be fine if you're young, with a good good metabolism, low fat, drink plenty of water so you can keep pissing out it's remnants if it doesn't just dilute your piss like it does with weed, with a brain that heals quickly or sufficiently. all that and i think you should be good.

well you shouldn't compare yourself to others as you are different. i think the only way you wouldn't recover is if your brain fails to grow new neurons; which would result in depression and other dopaminergic related issues. then it's no longer the medication and something you should get checked out.
and cell death can happen with antipsychotics, along brain shrinkage. if that happens, then i think it'd take the 7-10 years it takes for your all of your cells to be completely replaced to recover. i could be wrong though, but it'd make sense for the cells to be dopamine neurons. it could be other cells.

i really hope that's concise enough for you.

and if you're ever feeling negative from disbelief (like sadness, anger, or fear) try to keep in mind that "Negative attitudes and feelings of helplessness and hopelessness can create chronic stress, which upsets the body's hormone balance, depletes the brain chemicals required for happiness, and damages the immune system. Chronic stress can actually decrease our lifespan."
i know you got some hope, but if you hang on to and keep your mind on things that make you feel negative, you'll detriment your happiness and life. and if the medication is gone, and your recovered, you could still be depressed because of disbelief causing more negative feelings than there is from the invega, and also because of the stress. elevated cortisol will decrease serotonin. you should be capable of feeling things but you could still believe you're not recovered because of the residual sadness from the disbelief and the stress of it. people do recover. at various times. the people taking a really long time (like 5-10 years) should get double checked.

How much would you say you've recovered in terms of %? For instance, are you 80% recovered? 90% recovered? Has your motivation recovered?

I don't know what kind of body type you have (in terms of how much fat you have) and how physically active you are, but depending on those things, I think losing weight might help you recover more quickly and might get more of the drug out of your body. Invega stores in fat, and burning the fat that stores it can cause it to be released into your system. I think the amount of body fat you have can make the drug last longer in your system.

Anyway, it sounds like you're doing well but I hope you fully recover. Don't give up on a full recovery yet. It's been a long time for you but I think you could still recover more.

hey its been over 2 1/2 years and I even smoke cigarettes and get no craving or satisfaction from them. I'm only smoking because I heard there was a chance that it might get the invega out sooner. and I do it out of boredom mostly. but my sex drive is back at 85% and I've been married for a year and this poison isn't stopping me from being happy anymore. I've learned to adapt to the new me but I cant believe that its been 2 1/2years and a double espresso at Starbucks still has no effect and I can drink a 12 pack of beer and my body will be drunk but I will get no satisfaction or a buzzed feeling in my head. its been a long adjustment but I've came to terms with it and life is good

Can you feel pot? This fucking sucks I want to be able to get drunk again

Man that’s fucking crazy. I dip because I’m bored but I get nothing out of it as well. A week ago I was getting buzzed from it but not anymore. I still get that head buzz when I drink though
 
Did anyone one here, feel like a breaking or cutting and there soul leave them when this happened??Hard to explain the feeling
 
I just hope my dopamine returns before I'm an old man of I ever does...:(
I'm prepared to wait years I just can't handle It being life long
 
Today I've decided to lose weight, from 57kg to 50kg. I'll look skinny as fuck but this way I should at least speed up the process of my recovery by little. If now I'm something like 16% of body fat, then cutting it down to about 6% should make a tremendous difference in recovering. I never go out anywhere, no one can see me, so I don't give a damn. After losing my weight, gaining it back shouldn't make anything worse, right? The poison would be already somewhat gone, so there's no way it would come back in any kind of way if I decide to return to something around 60kg then.

I mean, if I get anywhere near 0% BF (which I know is impossible), but if I get to 4% for example, the poison left in my body should be like almost entirely gone, right? lol I know this will speed up my metabolism by a lot, getting the medicine straight to the brain, but I'm suffering so much right now, that it woudln't matter to me anyway.

And btw, if they decide to put someone athletic as hell who has 3% of BF on Invega (or on Maintena, cause it mostly doesn't cause weigh gain), what happens with the medicine, where is it stored? In this tiny amount of this person's fat? Wtf

I don't know. If the person only has 3% body fat, I think a smaller amount of the Invega may be stored in their fat than someone who has a larger amount of body fat.

Based on the things I've read, the amount of body fat someone has can play a role in recovery. I think that exercising and losing weight can speed up the process of recovery. Be careful about getting too low of a body fat percentage though, that could alarm someone, especially if you start looking like a skeleton. It may be good to get down to a lean size that looks normal, and exercise to burn fat and then gain it back. So like, lose one pound of fat and gain one pound of fat, and rinse and repeat. I think if you do it enough, your body will expel the rest of the Invega that's stored in your fat until there's no drug or very little left in your fat.
 
I can't wait to be healed one day.:)
even it takes years I can't wait to feel better I had so much dopamine before inches now I don't have very much.
this whole expjeriwnxe has taught me what life is about
 
I would be surprised if and invega is still even in my system anymore but it still has the receptors blocked anyway .I've improved maybe 15% in the last 2 1/2 years and I'm 6 foot tall 175lbs I'm happy again finally and a few months ago started jogging . I cant feel pot or alcohol or cigarettes or caffeine. but I'm seriously used to it now and life is good. I'm I'm a good marriage and I've been married for a year. I believe my soul is finally coming back into my body after so many years.

I try and focus on the future and the possibility that serotonin and dopamine will return at some point. I've been off the poison 2 1/2 years and I'm just starting to feel it leave my system
