Idk about that but I lost 15kg while being on invega, it never effected my losing weight. I was eating healthy and going gym lost 15kg in 3 months

I suppose it truly does affect everyone differently. I was gradually burning off fat, gaining muscle mass, and eating in moderation before this had happened to me.

it seems like invega didn’t hit you as hard as most people even me which probably means you should heal faster, I couldn’t lose any weight at all on invega in fact I gained 27 pounds in 2 months or so I couldn’t lose any weight at all until I was 4 months off the injections.

Yeah invega hit my differently I was so dedicated on not gaining any weight while being on the injection thankfully I didnt I'm 75k-76kg. I was 71kg 4-5 months ago but thats not cause of invega its cause Ive been eating moderately now I'm planning on dropping to 67-68kg in the summer go back to the gym and then put on some muscle

Considering the fact that pretty much everyone that I know of can still recieve at least a few hours of sleep goes to show that it screwed me over more than most people, others apparently even oversleep on it. I never spoke much of it but my main other concern is, assuming I can talk about it here, erectile dysfunction. Without going into much detail let's just say that I was err, quite active to say the least. Nowadays I feel like a child that hasn't undergone puberty yet. Aside from that there's also the lack of pleasure or satisfaction from doing anything, in other words anhedonia. Now that I think about it I think the main reason why I rapidly gained that much weight in a brief period of time is because it increased my appetite and prevented me from feeling as full afterwards, though I noticed that feeling has improved over time. Since I have felt very minimal improvement I feel as it even a year won't be a sufficient amount of time to recover but who knows.

Ya I noticed that too when I was first on the injections eating food was the only somewhat satisfying thing everything else just felt worthless I ate the most I ever had in my life while on the injections, ya I also felt like that with ED from invega but it went away around 4 months and keeps get even better with time if you have ED anyway it might be worth trying nofap there’s tons of benefits too it that me and other members in the thread have listed in the forum a lot, anhedonia is a bitch and I still have it but it’s very mild nowadays and I can deal with it no problem at this rate I know it’s gonna go away 100%, you never know you might recover in a year there’s been members who have reported no improvement at all for as long as 7 months then started rapidly improving like @Jonnyhalo.
 
I think i am back to 100% finally. I can finally read again and watch a long movie and i am getting drowsy in the daytime again. When i was on invega, abilify and also latuda i could not read as my attention span was so fucked and i was to restless to get drowsy during the daytime.

That’s interesting I recently started being able to get drowsy during the day again too, this happened after I started micro dosing LSD, after a hard workout at the gym I can feel really relaxed and drowsy in a good way like that endorphin buzz you get from intense exercise it feels great when I’m just chilling watching tv.

Do you have any other things you feel like you’re missing besides maybe not being able to feel psychedelics or would you consider yourself fully recovered from invega and abilify.

Naw that's it finally. I feel like im 100% recovered now thank fuck. Took long enough

Glad to hear it my man 🙏 I’m mostly recovered but still deal with anhedonia and my ADHD being amplified, if you’ve recovered that and I can trip when I haven’t recovered it yet you should be able to trip too.
 
Officially 8 months off. I know there's lots of ways to get Invega out of your system, but holy fuck, what do I do/take for the withdrawals? I could barely function at work today. Walls-closing-in kind of anxiety that I don't even get from unmedicated schizophrenic episodes.

If you have schizophrenia and you’re having withdrawals this bad chances are you’re going to relaspe into psychosis, I’d say maybe at first try high doses of CBD it can act as a mild mood stabilizer and has anti psychotic properties too it that don’t cause anhedonia, you should also eat clean do plenty of intense exercise, exercise can help with psychosis as it’s a natural thing that stabilizes your mood, if that doesn’t work try some anti psychotic pills like zyprexa, prolixin, latuda or abilify they get out of your system fast so you don’t need to worry about it taking a long time to recover from it, just take them as needed only if you absolutely need it and the lowest dose possible try not too take it everyday unless you absolutely need too or else you can build dependance and get withdrawals from that.

Thanks bruh. That's what my friend told me too, and I do have abilify on hand. I feel the insanity creeping in and I've been able to fight it off but I do think I'd function better with the abilify as needed.
Gonna check out CBD. I'm also planning on swimming at a higher frequency, and trying to drop this weight that I gained.

I would say mostly. There are times where my libido is back, and I can make art again nearly at the level that I used to. I'm really thankful for all the progress I've seen.

Theres not much you can do about withdrawals you just got to wait them out another couple of months or so, but in the meantime just exercise, eat clean look after yourself take walks, have hot showers relax watch a movie dont over work yourself, socialize and just try to forget you going through withdrawals you know, try not to take any pill for it which can give you more side effects or so, just wait it out natrually and dont take any AP's. AP's are the devils juice

In this guys case it wouldn’t hurt to take AP pills if his withdrawals get unbearable it would definitely be better then having a schizophrenic break, not ALL anti psychotics are the devils juice but the injections certainly are since they’re administered at such a high dose at the end of the day big pharmas goal is to bring in money but that doesn’t mean you can’t play your cards right and use them for your own benefit, if I were him or anyone who would relaspe into psychosis I’d do tons of research from non bias sites which I already have, now that I’m educated I know that big pharmas directions that you need to take a high dose of the pills everyday is bs just taking half or even a quarter of one pill can knock you out of psychosis for days, I know if I ever relaspe into psychosis I’ll go to my good psychiatrist and ask for zyprexa just to have it on hand incase of an emergency if you only take APS as needed at a the lowest dose possible it’s not the devils juice it’s just that the higher the dose the more money big pharma makes they don’t give a shit about you so they manipulate the psychiatrists and doctors into thinking that dose is what you need.

He can take AP pills. They are easy to recover from. If they work to stabilize him it's a much better option than entering psychosis & getting shot again. AP withdrawal psychosis is a real thing

Just be mindful of suggesting that anyone take any medications WITHOUT A DOCTOR'S SUPERVISION, especially psych meds. Whilst I agree that antipsychotics in pill form might be a better option for some people, remember to add that they must see their doctor in order to obtain a script. None of us here are doctors and cannot give out medical advice like this without a little disclaimer such as "speak to your doctor about..."
