I hate to bring bad news but it will probably not go away until the Invega is out of your system for several months or even a year or more. When I had a few Risperidone injections (not Invega) it took like 6 months for the anhedonia to subside. I only got the shots while I was in the state hospital so when I got out, they switched me to pills. The anhedonia still didn't go away until I moved out of my parents house 6 months after leaving the state hospital and then went med non-compliant and stopped taking the Risperidone pills.
Now I am not suggesting anyone go med non-compliant when it is much safer to taper off meds under the supervision of a psychiatrist. But I know you are under order to take the injections so until the order is lifted, unfortunately you will probably have to live with the anhedonia.
I know you are considering switching to Abilify injections, which may indeed treat you better than Invega. But I am beginning to wonder if regardless of medications, only Long Acting Injectables cause anhedonia and flat affect. When I was on Risperidone pills before the injections, I don't recall having anhedonia. It was only after they began injecting me with it did the anhedonia/flat affect begin.
Please be kind and just general describe how you felt on those meds? meaning not after if you want? O and don't think I have some reservations or whatever, on the c OTC you are very tactile-spectrum writer it can't contribute to my knowledge of neuroleptics and I guess all incl.
So Anhedonia in my mind is if chategorized? reaction to or consequence of the Gaba-B, GHB, dopamine trigging substances
So Paws are felt from: meth, Diacethylmorfij, , Phenibut, GBL, GHB and alikes, cocaine, alcohol, and weed in some?
First thought was 4 of me fighting in mind overw why they give pills like this to everyone like bread??
I witnessed people arround me getting Xeplion or sustaines release antipsych, but I was only taking quetiapine when I was just in abszinence not psychosis and in hospital and 3rd day they gave me quetiapin 200mg, I was like ketamine feealed like this, then: look on cocaine you beats intellectual and physical, Phenibut and speed was the best combination!
I was in full blown mania but dr. was smiling cause I just talked to people and almost with everyone, later tehy told me how the f dou I know all those informations,
I know a lot but on sports, geography, basic medical tehniqes, et cetera, so in an hour I they said it! We learned and how did you connect those things? whattt? things?,
Did you write this down? write whaaaat the f......ck?, was inside saying that and frustrated that they enjoyed that great that neither of alcoholics older an younger if they thought so much how couldn+t they just hint me, but later I got the most accurate expanation nwm.
me from GBL, was released after day3 after mania passed, wit my efffexor, suboxone, xanax 1mg, diazepam, 5mg, quetiapine 2x50mg then increasing I then wrote fucking universe on neuroleptics and friend found me new psychiatrist. ,was funny (how he and she in each other company rather being him there for pills!)
