Im 4 months off the depot and im feeling about 60% better. Not suicidal anymore which is a big one. But i took clopixol not invega. When I took invega last time it took a bit longer to recover around 5-6 months to feel stable

Ive heard clopixol sucks. How was it compared to invega?

It differs from person to person, my weed high returned 100% about 6 months off the loading doses with euphoria and everything, invega might block the CB1 receptors for some people but may not for others, I should also mention I hadn’t consumed THC at all for 6-7 months before trying it 6 months off so I had no tolerance which definitely helped with getting high.

Are you glad you quit weed for six months? Did quitting make less or more happy? Or was it really tough?
I feel like I should quit but

It’s hard too tell honestly since I took the invega shots if there was any benefits to being sober off weed I would not have felt them, as of today though I haven’t used weed in about 40 days and I’ve recovered from invega significantly but not all the way quite yet, I am very glad I quit yes I’m more productive at the gym and been working out like crazy getting a ton done the thing about being sober though is I can’t escape the anhedonia or depression when I would use weed after a long tolerance break it would always make the anhedonia non existent when I was high and life was interesting again but this quickly went away once I build a tolerance which takes like 3-4 days so all in all it’s not worth it imo and I’m sure with time the anhedonia will go away if I stay sober and keep up my good habits. Being sober sucks and it takes a while to get comfortable with but I’m sure in the long run I won’t regret this so far only about a month of being sober I’m much more confident and I’m gaining muscle at the gym, I plan on never smoking weed again all it does is make me lazy I stay at home watching cartoons or fapping too porn being a degenerate wasting my life that’s just how weed effects me personally some people can smoke and live good quality lives you really just gotta put your own situation in perspective and decide whether your better off with or without weed. Best of luck too you sir 🙏

I’ve posted about my progress in the forum recently, and nope I still have anhedonia I’d say my receptors are about 60-75% recovered honestly hard too tell at this point I also struggle with addiction so invega might not be entirely to blame for anhedonia I’m 38 days clean off porn addiction and still haven’t recovered from that either usually I feel better after 2-2.5 months it’s like 1/20th as bad as invega but no joke none the less the anhedonia is pretty bad but nothing I can’t handle especially after going through a challenge like invega, I just had an extremely good wave of good feeling today after I worked out at the gym though which I haven’t felt in a while it was short lived but it’s a good sign I felt as good as pre injections.

Comparing porn anhedonia to invega is ludicrious

I suppose you didn’t read me say in my post that porn causes anhedonia but it’s “1/20th as bad” my point being it’s nowhere near as bad as invega but no joke.

Yes people do fully recover most who don’t are taking other anti psychotics or neurotoxic drugs very rarely does someone who’s med free not recover eventually.
