exercise is a non factor....my anhedonia started improving at month 4 off invega and major improvement month 6...all i did was stay in bed all day everyday. Meanwhile most people who were very active improved month 8 or later.

It all boils down to half life you cannot speed half life up, it just takes time
Straining the body too much and overtraining is the worst thing you can do in a toxic body state
Second worst thing is no sleep

Anyway saint johnswort speeds up metabolism way more than exercise and all those other things combined

Please do not make blanket statements like this. It can be extremely discouraging to some people. Please remember that everyone is different and therefore everyone responds differently to certain things during their recovery from Invega.
Exercise definitely helps some people.
In your case, it did not. That doesn't mean that it is a non-factor in anyone else's recovery.

How so ? Doing nothing and healing fast sound like something positive to me.

The amount released is still subjected to half life...unless you increase enzymes there is nothing you can do to eliminate it faster

I started working a physical labor job today my body was already sore from invega now it's worse. Is there anything I can do besides cherry tart juice and magnesium?(already doing). And will the extra strain on body for 10 hours straight everyday help or worsen the healing process? The even harder part is working with the anxiety induced by the invega.

If you can work 2 months off you arent that much affected by invega...most people are bedbound for six months straight

There is more to recovery than purely getting the Invega out of your system. That is but one factor to recovering from it.
There are also many other factors such as you mentioned, getting enough sleep so that the brain can repair the damage once the Invega is gone, eating healthy food and drinking lots of water to support the bodily processes through recovery, socialising with loved ones who are good for you, who make you feel good about yourself and are supportive of you, avoiding drugs and alcohol during recovery, and so on and so forth.
It's not as simple as just waiting for it to flush out of your system. This isn't maths, unfortunately. I really wish there was a definite timeframe that we could tell people with certainty, when they are going to feel better. But it's just not like that in reality, there are many factors involved in recovering.
 
So I’m 8 months and 1 week off invega sustenna at this point, I haven’t been able to work out consistently cause I caught 2 illnesses that felt as bad and one worse then covid within the span of 45 days and now I just strained one of my muscles and have too take a break again, despite all of this however I look more ripped then ever which makes me believe that with more time off invega your hormones can adjust some more and you look better in general even if you aren’t working out, despite this though it’s still good too workout anyway cause then you will look even better.

Hows your anhedonia and cognition? Do you have your memories and social functions back? I hate the fact that it made me have an empty brain and I cant contribute anything in conversations.

Anhedonia is still there but nowhere near as severe it’s pretty mild tbh I’d say its 75% gone, cognition is fucked still got adhd symptoms I’d say its 70% gone, my social function is about 95-100% back but I don’t get joy out of socializing like I used too I’m just good at acting happy and confident on the outside when on the inside I’m still depressed.

Do you have a blank mind too?
Click to expand...
Yeah i remember 14 months off having conversations and my mind would go blank multiple times during conversations. This never really gotten better. Month 1 to month 6 i would have blank mind 100% of the time. Before this i could talk alot without any issue. Abilify doesn't give a blank mind like invega does
 
apsucks said:

Would like to know if someone experienced recovery of this year 3 or so

I did, I could socially function at work at 12 months but got my joy of socializing normally back at around two Years off , sometimes being more social than I was prior to invega depending on what was going on in my life. Can laugh, joke, play games, write, goof around, small talk for fun, and have a general fun time , even when sober, like when I was a kid again. 8 months is very early to expect to regain this complex function

I was not very sociable at all on invega or abilify when i got home from the psych ward. I just wanted to stay home and do coke. I had no desire to go anywhere really Granted i wasent terribly social in the sense of going places or anything beforehand really as im more of a stay at home watch movies and get high kind of person. I wonder how much of me not wanting to be that social anymore has to do with the drugs as opposed to just being in the psych ward. Really now my dream is to fuck off to Australia and live in the outback away from people or maybe go to Cuba as i don't really want anything to do with this society anyway. The whole experience of being in the psych ward was very dehumanizing and i think it changed me more then any drug could really. I witnessed some of the worst humanity has to offer in there and i for one want nothing to do with western society anymore.

I still was pretty sociable i guess in a way even when i was in the psych ward as i was always hanging out with people, getting some weed sessions on the go and shit like that. I got along with pretty much everyone in there except a few assholes as there was a few snitches i there and people sucking up to the nurses and shit. That i had no time for and it made me sick Now since i have more or less recovered i am still sociable but am picky about who i spend my time with. I still keep in contact with my friends though

There’s lots of factors involved on how early you regain your social function like your age and how many shots you took. I actually gained my social function back at month 7 some people may even regain it earlier there’s also an unfortunate few who may take longer then a year to regain it.
