Been strolling this page since February. Mind as well post now. When I first got my 2 initial injections I was fine. Completely normal . But then I get two more. And it fucked me up. Here were my symptoms . No energy, adonheia, no motivation, muscle twitching , couldn’t get erect,weight gain, heavy fatigue and no personality. Most of which have subsided. Today I am much better and am about 80-85 percent recovered. My last shot was near the end of January early February. Don’t give up people.. hope fully I’ll be recovered fully by the end of the year . This will probably be my last post until I’m fully recovered . If anybody has questions dm me I’ll try me best to answer. I’m barley on this website anymore it was honestly just too depressing . There is hope!

Did you manage to lose the weight?
 
I found out I'm more sensitive to cold temperature than last winter when I wasn't injected.
Probably due to hormone imbalance caused by Xeplion.

Ok,

Ok, I’ll stop vilifying you. I was just in a bad mood. I’ll be real - you are much more understanding than many people in my real life when I talk about the injection.

You kind of did anger me a while back making comparisons between Invega and being homeless, but I will stop assuming that you are downplaying our suffering from here on.

No worries man, thank you for this <3

Sorry about the Invega/homeless thing, it was sort of a way to contextualize things based on my own experiences and I had no idea it would cause such a stir.

Some of us here are moderators but all mods are also volunteers. So we have nothing tangible to gain by doing what we do other than the warm fuzzies of trying to help people.

Do you guys know what it would be like to be manic while fucked up from Invega? Is it possible to even go manic while so anhedonic and dysphoric?

I went into a 'psychosis' that lasted like a several month period while I was working at the tech support call center several years ago. I would straight up fuck off and just walk out of work in the middle of the shift sometimes and not really say too much. It was really bad at times. I've driven a car in a state of psychosis you can say before and I don't really know or remember how I didn't crash or something. It's not quite as bad as I thought though, my brain is made of iron. But I've posted more positive stuff on here than before lately and I'm going to tell you that the reason is because I'm that guy..but the other real reason is freakin drugs..Do you want to be 10 feet tall and bulletproof and have the power to attain world domination?..Do you wanna become a sexual tyrannosaurus? (maybe)..Hey I'm not telling you to do it, I'm just telling you to use some common sense..

Hey guys, do you think that being on olanzapine injection for about 8 months makes recovering from invega quite a bit slower? Thank you
 
I guess that it could always be worse, I guess that I'm not homeless while having had the four years worth of injections, and I have a car, or that I'm not paralyzed while having had all those injections, that would truly probably be hell on Earth..Only probably the baddest motherfucker on Earth would ever make it for a long time like that..but maybe I'm similar to that guy, my confidence right now is sky fucken high because of absolute irreverance and knowledge in the back of my mind that a spiritual reality exists, and nobody ever really dies..
 
I still have head pressure that comes and goes. I don’t want to deal with this shit for another year. I can’t believe what’s happening to me…

Thanks, I just don’t understand because all the doctors want me and say I need to be on these meds, but my body and brain hates them. Idk who to even listen to anymore. AP’s for drug induced psychosis / schizoaffective are said to be needed forever but I’ve never need anything for forever, and these medications ruin my fucking life to the max. My woman says to not take any more meds but I don’t know what the fuck do to.

I can relate to this as well. After my initial psychosis I was just given pills probably for a few months. They were mild and I felt quite normal. I didn’t realize the seriousness of the situation and smoked weed again. This time psychosis hit me harder and when I went to the hospital again they gave me Invega shots and said I would have to take them for two years. After three shots I felt horrible and suicidal and didn’t want to take any more. Fortunately my parents supported this and so I went off them cold turkey. It’s been a year since then and thankfully I’ve not had any signs of psychosis although those shots took their toll and I’m still recovering. So my advice to you is to listen to yourself since yours is also drug induced. If you experience psychosis again you can get a small dose to help you get past that phase. @Kaatrina has done this, so she may be able to help you. Good luck!
 
My commitment finally ended yesterday!!! Been on it since April 2nd 2019. I'll be switching the antipsychotics for lithium. Hopefully I have a better time on those.
 
Has anyone here recovered their sexual function fully? How long did it take since last injection?
