semen retention helps a lot with invega, ejaculating increases prolactin by a huge amount I was on semen retention the first 4 months of invega and it helped a ton, I ended up relapsing on masterbation a few weeks ago and felt like total garbage I’m 5 days off masterbation right now and feeling better physically mentally I’m fine the withdrawals haven’t hit yet (I’ve been a pornography addict from 13-18) sorry about being graphic but when the withdrawals hit I’m prepared for it.
I was on seemen retention streak first 4 months +1 month when I was on injections.
 
Opps I meant whiny* but you get the point. I wonder what happened to him now
I made the same pronunciation mistake lol, but yeah I got what you're saying.
I don't know what about him no more, hope he's ok.
How long off the injections was he?

In Feb 2020 he was 11 months off, now probably 4 years off unless they gave him another shot then I don't know but I highly doubt he got another shot that guy hated Invega like hell. :ROFLMAO:

You don't choose invega, invega chooses you ;)
Every body hates invega, except psychiatrists who praise it.
 
I feel like we'll come out of this stronger and better than before, refreshed. All those times without dopamine, serotonin, we'll be able to enjoy small things even better, like getting that dopamine hit when you eat a chocolate bar or simply just listening to music. It's going to make us appreciate what we lost when we were on the injection.

I took things for granted before the injections, like enjoying a good video on YouTube, playing video games, jerking off.
Who would have thought that something will take my joy from the little things in life away.
The only thing I kinda enjoy is eating tasty food. I think it gives me a dopamine rush which I can still feel.
I understand that dopamine wasn't blocked entirely, otherwise I would really consider comitting suicide.
My pdoc told me that it's partially blocking dopamine receptors, so that's probably why joy from food wasn't taken away fully, probably that area of the brain hasn't been affected too much.
 
That 80% is temporal effect of drugs you took, happened to other members too. I think that being 80% at 5 months off is absolutely impossible and unrealistic.
I beg to differ Draztik and HopefulDopeful recovered in 6 months I actually perked up and started feeling better before I took LSD I was waiting to do LSD cause I wanted to make sure I was in a good headspace first.
 
It made me a little chubby, I guess.

Yes. I'm finally at a point where I can do energy work again.

The brain is quite resilient. I've heard it can recover rather quickly when--say--stopping alcohol, for instance.
definitely I was never an alcoholic but I was an opioid addict I’m 6 months sober and now I’m recovering from invega before all I cared about was getting high and when I was on invega I just sat there like a potato not doing shit now I’m thinking about my future and I’m very motivated I wana become a drug councilor for recovering addicts or a psychiatrist (a good one) they make 100-200$ an hour and I’d enjoy listening too people’s stories and helping them out ima go to college for a counciling degree after I finish my senior year of high school.

Yeah I don't think it's blocking the dopamine receptors 100% otherwise we wouldnt be able to enjoy little things like eating food as you said. Same here I enjoy eating a nice pizza & getting a little dopamine rush from it atleast that wasnt taken away. Which actually does say that receptors aren't 100% fried and can repair itself.
 
Does anyone feel kinda shit when they wakeup from being on this injection, feels foggy & just low dopamine

Yes after I got the injection the mornings were always the roughest I always felt better at night the only thing I liked about invega was the sleep I got from it cause during my psychosis I barely slept for 3 weeks straight tbh idk how I’m still alive but I’m glad I am.

I got some more details about feeling like shit in the morning I forgot to mention the whole experience of what I went through was extremely foggy but it felt like all I wanted to do was sleep it’s the only thing I enjoyed after being injected some people say they still enjoyed eating but I didn’t enjoy anything at all I would always be happy when it was night so I wouldn’t have to be conscious I would wake up in the morning not wanting to move dreading being awake just wanting it to be night so I could sleep again I was going through opioid withdrawal and I was on 5 other medications (depakote, wellbutrin, clonodine, prasozin, and seroquel) they all had black box warnings for side effects plus invega all at the same time it was truly hell on earth I had to be hospitalized a second time for medication side effects I got off everything besides depakote and paliparadone but got off those two weeks later I was med free at 1 month 3 weeks off the injection.

Did you also have this weird feeling that when you wokeup you didnt want to go back to sleep you felt like you was missing out on something or had to do something & quickly get changed and get out the house as soon as you wokeup, did anything like this happen? I would do that, first 3-4 months of the injection I would get up and go to the park get a coffee or something I just didnt want to be in the house
 
Yeah, when I was on Invega sustenna I hated summer because the days were so long and I gained a ton of weight it was awful. I just wanted winter so I could hide in big baggy cloths and for it to get dark at 4pm. On injection days after I got injected I could barley talk I would legit just sit there so foggy barley talking it was awful I don’t know why my doctor kept me on a medication that I had such adverse side effects on…it was torture. Not to mention I could barley move my muscles to workout and my words were slurred when I spoke I had to re learn how to do simple tasks like laundry…I had to talk myself through it like “ok now put your cloths in the dryer” it legit gave me brain damage!
