Laughing was the funniest thing that could happen to me before. It always felt good!
I’m 7 months off & I find my self kinda chuckling sometimes, but I honestly think it’s just a forced reflex to things I know *should be* funny. Plus, I don’t understand jokes most of the time like I used to. The brain damaged feeling is insane, even now.

We all get hurt differently.

you will get better. Some people take 10 months, some people take 1.5 years, just don't give up you have to fight through this you will be normal again
 
The delicate things is what I'm worried about, I hope all of it comes back.
What I mean is certain feelings, sensations you get from nature and beauty, the good feeling from certain thoughts etc.
I believe it will now be the opposite, I will notice improvements and say things like: "Now I have this, before on the injections I didn't have this..."
I will rediscover myself is what I mean.
 
Spending time in nature definitely helps with recovery a ton in my first month after getting injected I could barely even walk 0.1 of a mile but I’d walk over to a bench and sit down and stare at the lake it genuinely helped calm me down not even being a month of the injection nature works wonders.
 
Exercise is also essential I would take walks in the forest early in my recovery just push yourself to do as much as you can when I first went I could only walk 0.1 of a mile I still did it anyway even though there was no reward cause I knew it would benefit me and help build me up to longer walks before I was even 2 months off I was able to walk 4 miles, it’s like when people get severely injured if they push themselves in physical therapy they’re more likely to recovery fully and quicker.
 
I had 3 shots of invega. Yes everything returned and I was 80% recovered and pretty happy by 10 months, 100% recovered and very happy at 12 months.

I have a feeling I might be feeling bad again for another couple months yet, luckily the half life on clopixol is only 19 days compared to 49 days for invega.
At what point did you recover your libido and did you recover it 100%? Also did you have problems with things like sensitivity and less semen and did they recover?
 
How long since last injection?
Are you on any other meds since then?

It's true that some of the people here that recover don't bother checking back in again.
I was injected only once in beginning of april almost two years ago. It was horrible but got alot worse 4.5 months after the injection when I got the covid shot, but since the past 6 months its getting better day by day I think but its up and down

I find no joy whatsoever, so my mind automatically seeking pleasure wherever it can find.
Before the injections, I was distracted by my hobbies and gym, and I was way more motivated to do the hard things

When this anhedonia will pass, I believe it will be easier to stick to nofap.

Now, on the topic of masturbation, sexual function and semen:

Can everyone please keep comments on these topics to an absolute bare minimum. Whilst the vast majority of participants in this thread are men, we also have some women in here who are finding the excessive discussion of masturbation and specifically semen volume, semen retention, semen quality etc offensive and off-putting.

The moderators will continue to edit and delete any posts that contain excessive content that may be offensive, and it is our job to do so in order to keep this thread a safe space for all people who are suffering from the side effects of Invega/Xeplion, and who want to feel safe in discussing their recovery journies. Moving forward after this notice, anyone who continues to post excessive graphic sexual comments may incur official warnings.

Thank you for respecting this.
 
Semen retention is a practice, not a bad word.
This post wasn't graphic in any shape or form, so why edit my post?
They also deleted oldtidens post saying that nofap is good if you meet women, that’s cause of increased confidence… how is that inappropriate?
There have been complaints about the excessive discussion of masturbation, semen retention, sexual function, semen quality etc. Therefore we are going to be more strict about this, for the comfort and safety of everyone in the thread. Was my post not clear? Please feel free to inbox me if you need further clarification or wish to discuss the matter.

I can see why some of the posts were deleted yes but I don’t get why some of the other ones were they weren’t graphic at all.

I suggest using word nofap to not deter women, since woman can also go on nofap and name is cleaner. Nofap make his/her brain upregulate dopamine synapses thus becoming more sensitive to dopamine, it will also make more dopamine synapses be developed, this will only help minimaly because invega blocks and deforms receptors thus making them work less efficiently and not work at all if blocked. More brain recovers, more it will have available receptors and thus upregulation will be more noticable.
 
At end of month 2 abilify injection caffeine stopped working...normally i cannot drink energy drinks because they cause me to be jittery.. now i can easily drink 4 in a row...same shit with invega. Also kratom effectiveness decreased red strains almost don't work and their duration is also decreased, only strong white ma daeng seems to work but its like 50% decrease compared to month 2.

Nofap really helps especially on anti psychotics..fapping makes shit so much worse because these anti psychotics decrease the flow of kundalini life force
 
I am here longer than both of you. I improved a lot but there is still more to recover. Difference between now and at beginning is significantly big.
i agree recovery never was pre invega or 100%...it feels like major recovery because one gets used to being on invega but it never was pre invega. Abilify is less neurotoxic than invega or xeplion but still creates the same problems however i feel like on can recover from abilify maybe 100% i don't feel like one can recover 100% from invega. Alot of things returned to normal like penile sensitivity, orgasms and so forth i agree the difference between beginning and one year is significantly big
