it’s getting less worse and less worse, as days progress the drug is tapering out of our bodies and the dosage in our blood is become smaller and smaller as times goes by. I’m now on month 3 and I’m getting better each and each month. Idk how much I’m recovered and I could give a less a shit about full recovery. I’m just waiting for things to get better and better. But eventually we’ll only be getting like 0.25 or less each day and that’s like 6 months in. Personally I don’t feel like that’s that effective.

Yeeah bro I had the same problems (i thought I was the only one having that problem here lol) they are almost gone.I used to smell paliperidone in everything .Everything I taste tasted like paliperidone or had some weird taste or smell .coke,sprite,fanta,chocolate,meat,bread, u name it . I swear if u try to eat boiled egg ,u will almost vomit but now everything is coming back thank God.I ate meat today and it taste a little bit like there was paliperidone in it.I haven't eat bread in like 5-6 months,I just tore a little piece of bread and it taste like bread but not really.Tomorrow I will boil an egg and taste how its like and update u guys.Chocolate taste normal now.Cappucino doesn't taste that great but ill wait for a lol bit of months to see.Ill also try to taste coke and sprite too.Also fried egg taste like I there paliperidone in it .I was afraid that my taste won't come back and now I still even do but I know everything is getting better

Physical side effects stopped but my sleep was worse lol and I was all the time drained and tired , Day was my night and night was my day lol .I was still suicidal and empty. Things started to change at july(month 6),my self worth started coming back and I felt like talking more.And I started sleeping normal again.
Ngl I really felt a little bit of joy because I actually saw a big change at once unexpectedly and thats how it's going to happen to you guys.Everything will seem slow and one day u realise,this is gone,that is gone and u will be surprised
But it also depends on how much injections u took.The more more u take the longer it takes to get out of your system
 
The psychiatric doctors don't know shit .7 months ago.I remember I explained to her how the injection works and she told me that it doesn't block dopamine and serotonin.And she told me that it takes 2 months for it to leave my body.These doctors are big liars
.I even told her that I dont feel like doing shit .Am unmotivated.She told me that everyone feels like that sometimes.What a B*TCH!!!.Let me inject into your body and see whether u will like it or not.I didnt say anything .In fact I haven't gone to checkup for the last 3-4 months.She doesn't know her fucking job.😤
I'm glad I'm getting better.No need to go there again.They probably thought I was stupid to take the pill version of the injection Smh .It's still in my desk drawer.🖕🖕🖕🖕☣️ 💊 ☣️

Hello people
I am here to ask
I got total of 4 invega injections
I am 13 month off the injections
Still suffering from sexual dysfunction including erectile dysfunction numb penis less semen volume
I don’t know what is the mechanism that this injections affect sexual function !
I had my prolactin high at the beginning but it’s improved to normal after few months
All my hormones are normal but this sexual problems are never improving
I don’t know , I am starting to think that these are permanent
Anyone have another opinion ?

Anexiety stopped at month 5?
 
2.5 month off. Anexiety comes strong and goes. Next wave kicked in and anhedonia worsened (not bad as wave at 1 month off, that was extreme). It seems like I'm experiencing strong waves every 30 days and than they subside in 1-2 weeks. I lost 1kg out of 5kg gained (69kg now, skinny, almost can see abs).
 
I'm three and a half months off and I'm struggling with insomnia. I thought it was getting better, but it's not really yet. On the nights that I do sleep a normal amount, I feel much better the next day, but so many nights, I toss and turn all night and I don't know how much sleep I get, but I don't think it's very much. And the sleep deprivation makes me feel low in energy and I try to go back to bed during the day, but I still can't sleep. I wonder how long this is going to last?
Bouts of insomnia were normal for me pre-Invega (sometimes, whole nights without sleep), but I would always be able to recover my sleep within a few days. Not so atm.
On a positive note, I'm really enjoying listening to music now. I'm also finding it easier to clean and I'm starting to goal set for my future. I want to start running again, but I don't know if I have the motivation for it yet. Will let you all know how it goes. I've also lost a little bit of weight without really trying (I gained 20 pounds on Invega).
