Back then my last dose was in April of 2020. By The third month off I was almost fully recovered. I took two injections.

Fully recovered you mean only with libido right? 3 months is hell of a quick recovery lol, but good for you man, I'm happy for you.
 
Hi guys. I've been doing all right. My last shot of invega was still, as I've said, in January if 2019. I've been doing well, and got my AA in paralegal studies in 2021 and finished my junior year of college in 2022...unfortunately I did have a third psychotic relapse in June of 2022. I was doing a lot of volunteer work and it happened during finals week, as it did in 2020. I'm not sure if my psychotic responses are due to stress coping mechanisms or biological symptoms. I was taken into involuntary hold in the ER for 5 days. They tried to prescribe me Zyprexa, but I was cogent and aware of the date/time etc. During my whole stint - I refused the Zyprexa and they couldn't hold me longer - I left involuntary care without taking any medication. I've been symptom free since then still without medication - it's hard to say that my psychosis this time, although milder than my previous episodes by a long shot - was caused by residual effects from invega since I honestly feel that I haven't felt an effect from invega from over a year now - I'm completely emotionally, physically and sexually capable and experience none of its dampening effects. It's hard to report this story since I know we all want to go on living normal lives without struggling with the effects of invega OR psychosis which is hard enough on its own- nevertheless, the truth must be told. Will continue to update on my life, although residual effects of invega are no longer part of it. Good luck, everyone.
 
Well now I’m back on the antipsychotics. I’m actually taking two now and it’s about as bad or worse than Invega. Idk if I can do this much longer

Ten months and I'm doing much better. I have improved a lot, especially in the last month.
If it continues like this, I will be recovered next year and maybe by the end of this year.

fish oil and intermittent fasting have done wonders it seems.

I'm doing fish oil for 15 months daily, and was doing it before invega for years mostly daily. Which intermittent fasting interval are you doing.
 
It often happens for me to eat between 10 am to 6 pm (two-three meals per day). That is actualy intermittent fasting.

Are you seeing results? Is your libido back? what about emotions and getting moved from music for example?
Click to expand...
No I can't see any results because I am using it since I was pre invega and when I was off invega(off invega - for 15 months). Emotions still 50% what is considered apathia.

Not true, I still see improvements going on and there are people who were in same state like me right now and recovered after few months or at 1.5-2 years off.

So there is a light at the end of the tunnel I guess, maybe its because it takes time to heal or replace the damaged receptors.
Anyway, I wish you a quick and happy recovery!

It takes time to repair deformed receptors, yes. There are other factors too.
