It does block dopamine receptors, but this is temporary and it doesn't block all of them.
Does your doctor know that you're having tremors and twitches? You might have tardive dyskinesia, you should tell your doctor right away. They can prescribe procyclidine and lower your dose too. If you're feeling restless and need to keep moving, that's akathisia and it's a side effect too. You should tell your doctor because he/she will either need to lower your dose or switch medications.
I'm sorry that you're going through so much. You need to talk to your doctor about all of your side effects.

I wonder if anyone has tried water fasting to heal from invega? I think it's worth a try since your body cleanses and heals it's self when you fast. I used to water fast before I took invega and it was always vary cleansing. I wonder if it would help get the rest of the invega out of my system and heal me. I guess I just need to try it and see for myself

I just had my second shot yesterday and after reading everything people are saying I realized this was what is causing me a lot of side effects, im super scared of what it’s doing to me I have tremors on my body when talking to people, have twitches and my sex drive and boners are so ruined right now . How long before I feel normal again? I heard it blocks dopamine receptors so how can I know if it’s doing more stuff to me? I’m super unexcited for a lot of stuff and all I want to do is lay in bed, but even ruined my sleep because I feel as if I were awake the entire time I try and go to sleep, and actually am awake moving around to the sides during my Time in bed. I have to take viagra to have at least some of the sex back with my girlfriend but still feel as if something is off. It was a 100mg shot i really feel betrayed by my psychiatrist . I was on ketamine and had a unconscious state that my parents noticed so I had to go to rehab, and one of the things they prescribed for me was this evil shit before this and have been treated for “bipolar” disorder ever since. I’m also taking Wellbutrin and lamotrigine for his therapy, I feel as if I want to be in bed all the time. What do you recommend for someone like me ? I’ve been off drugs for one and a half months so far

You are in for a hell of a ride. But dont lose hope and dont rush your recovery with other meds. Take it one day at a time , I stayed at home for more than a year.
 
I did not take the pills because I didn't think I was sick so when I got the invega 117 mg shot it only took a week to be drenched in akatasia. The propanolol helped with that and the lithium I am taking now helps my mood although I do not feel like I can have an enjoyable conversation with new people, I get muscle tension and I just don't feel creative. Maybe a job would help with that.

To make ur akathisia go faster,go to the hospital and let them put u on drip. It happened to me,immediately after I was put on drip it stopped.
 
it has been 24 days since the first and last shot, my life has devolved into hell, there is nothing other than depression
I have no thoughts of my own, I can't feel a thing and I am not interested by anything
I spend my day cycling through stuff that I try to do and fail on each one
this drug has taken everything from me

Why home for over a year? I’m hoping it doesn’t do the same to me, I would like to know when and if the effects wear off or not, specially the sexual ones

I’m in hell on this Invega shot my body won’t lose anymore weight and that’s a big deal for me like a huge deal! I also can’t workout normally at all I don’t have the energy and my body moves slowly and I swear I’ve gotten dumber on this antipsychotic and I can’t go off of it I just feel so fucked up about my life. I lost my husband, house, and entire life to this stupid stuff and just want things to go back to normal. This is so fucked up!

hey why not just stop taking the medication then if your having all these negative affects, are you forced to take it?
 
Does anyone know if your face turns completely back to normal? I gained around 23 pounds on invega and lost 15 of it but my face is still just a little round. It’s way better than it was tho so I’m thankful for that. I’m off of invega trinza for 11 months now and on abilify maintena 180 mg.

I took St. John's Wort for many months almost 3 times a day and it had a huge effect on me in a good way such as having the ability to walk and be active in my home. St john's wort removes invega from the bloodstream a whole lot quicker, no lie. you also sleep better.

i also like taking L-Tyrosine because it removes lot of body aches. it removes stress.

5-htp pills are good for mood balance.

black seed oil is good for everything really.

Lion’s Mane Mushroom Cognition is good for the brain. you think better.

i also take Subi green powder mix for overall energy.

i take a few more supplements but i don't think they have an effect on me .

if i were you, i would start off with St. John's Wort and then move on to L-Tyrosine.

remember, you need like 1 year fully to recover from invega. whatever you do, don't take any APs again.

ps: i do inhale cannabis from time to time but that is because i have body aches and what not. it helps.

I’ve fucked up. I can’t type properly. Walking is different. Everything makes me dizzy. Can’t get an erection anymore.

I took a sleeping tablet and it made me go through with plans of water poisoning. Now I’m brain damaged. This is worse than invega and I thought there was nothing worse. I can’t live like this. I’ve failed my family and myself by doing this to myself.

They won’t let me even do a brain scan because they don’t believe me. I know I’m brain damaged. My mom doesn’t believe me.

There is no escape from this. I’ve made my fate worse than death.

This happened to me where I couldn't walk for 6 months I always thought it was drug induced parkinson's and still do think its that. :(

If I was you go and get some 100mg tablets (thiamine hydrochloride) and test it out and see if it's dry beribei if you improve in symptoms or get any improvements quickly keep on pumping it. :)
