Did anyone here recover from the 156mg shot of invega sustenna and not the lower 50mg shot doses? I’m just curious if the people that said they recovered are only talking about the 50mg shot doses.

Not necessarily. A lot of people say they can't get high or drunk and that's because of the AP's. If you can start to feel drunk or high again I'd say that means you're recovering
I was getting high 3 months off the injection so idk why some people can and cant.

People have recovered from more than both of those shots. I had two loading doses in total 250mg. How long are you off the invega? And are you taking another AP?

When I smoke, which i still do because i heard it takes the invega out of your brain and back into your bloodstream. I can feel a little bit high but really not much at all. How much did they give you? You're an unusual case, mostly people can't get properly high or drunk. When I drink it's the same as when I smoke, I can feel it but not much at all. But the thing is it still made me sick when I drank too much because I couldn't tell how drunk I was lol
 
I haven't tried drinking but I remembered when I smoked 3 months off it was like the first time I smoked I was just glued to the bed while my body tingling. I only the 2 loading doses. I'm pretty much 90% healed 5 months off. Only thing I'm dealing with is apathy and anhedonia all the other side effects went away. Btw I was only 21 at the time which I think is a key role and also I never been on any AP medication before. Like I can smoke now and get high and it last about a hour.

That guy ions had 100 ap shots and he still gets baked he says
 
Also I think the apathy and anhedonia is from marijuana and not invega so I'm pretty much 100% recovered. I've been doing a lot of research on heavy marijuana use I'm talking about smoking ounces a week like I did which lead to my mania. You can drug induced anhedonia and marijuana from weed and never know that and I had anhedonia before the shot and never know because the only time I really enjoyed thing was when I was high. I would get no pleasure from anything because I perma fried my brain 😃

5 months off and 90% healed is very early so that's good for you. I'm 6 months and I've only had slight improvements. This drug is potent and can be effective even in small amounts. Also everyone reacts differently. But basically I still feel anxious, unable to concentrate, anhedonia and depression. The only thing that has improved for me is that I don't have mind blowing head aches all day, don't really feel suicidal much anymore and I'm not stuck on the couch staring into dead space. Did you ever experience these side effects?

I've never seen it but I've heard you can and smoking an ounce a week I wouldn't be surprised you feel depressed and yes that's weed withdrawel, everything you enjoy on weed seems boring sober you should get over that if you quit weed that's no where near as bad as invega anhedonia. You need to get life satisfaction out of something else like a good job that you enjoy. I'm using weed alot to self medicate but usually I don't smoke during the day or before I go out or while I'm at work

I had depression i was in a very dark place and I was unable to concentrate for the first 4 months. The depression asm unable to concentrate will go away I've read on all the past threads and majority of the people experience that and it does away. The anhedonia will go away to but just dont abuse to drug or use antidepressants because that will induce anhedonia. If your 6 months off and that's all your battling it will pass around the 8-12 month range to be glad about that.

Are you fully healed? I’m off the invega 9 months and I’m taking depakote and haldol now both oral

This is what happens. I can send you a link if you are interested. But over time in long term users and heavy abusers, you can damage your brains reward system where you brain dosent produce as much dopemine as a normal person and which lead to many disorders such as amotivational syndrom, apathy. Anhedonia. Short term memory and cognitive difficulties. So if you just using to medicate then you will be fine and have nothing to worry about.

No not even close to fully healed. The times people usually begin to feel better are 6 months, 8 months, 10 months and by 12 months they have usually 100% recovered unless they'd taken a large amount it could take up to 2 years. Now what are you concerns the anhedonia?
