Ya you’re probably right about that since when you keep taking injections monthly it just builds up in your system since there’s not enough time for the first injections too leave your system, I can’t imagine 17 shots not leaving some sort of permanent impact but I do believe recovering significantly to the point of living a good quality life is possible, People have reported recovering from 12-20 shots within the span of 30-48 months, usually if you don’t see any significant improvements for 4 years you’re probably fucked for life.

Yeah I’m sure I will, I have seen improvements just the eyes and the facial fat and stuff like that is really crappy. Meh motivation and stuff has taken a hit too. Certain things. Hopefully it comes back. I also think partly it’s depressions and stuff from being on antipsychotics for so long and the damage they’ve caused.

The fact you’ve even seen improvements at all while taking geodon then latuda during your recovery is definitely a good thing, once you’re done tapering latuda and off all APS within a year or so you should probably show some more significant improvements.

It has happened too some unfortunate people but it’s very rare.
 
Hey everyone. Offvega here. It has been a few years. Yes I was able to get off the invega but then I had to get on abilify because of probation but right now I am hiding the fact that I am not taking the injectable abilify, it's crappy but it wasn't nearly as bad as invega.

Did you recover from invega sustenna?
 
Offvega said:
Yeah but it did some neurological changes in me if you had asked. Regardless that phases out. Now I got a long half life to deal with coming off abilify..

Ya I gotchu it definitely rewires your brain in some sort of way but that doesn’t mean you can’t live a good quality life, how many months are you off abilify? People usually recover from abilify quicker then invega sometimes as early as 6 months off the injection.
 
I still can’t believe how bad Invega Sustenna ruins athlete ability at 15 months off. My doctor took a perfectly good athlete and just ruined her. It literally made my motor skills shit and everything about my physical ability shit. However I did run 7km on the injection it was like shuffling though and my strides were shit. I haven’t felt a good stride since 2020. Now I just feel physically ill and spaced out and weird if I try to push too hard in the gym and that never happened to me before Invega. Long side effects are real.

That sucks, I was feeling improvements and optimism at the gym at 15 months and no longer felt that ill and spaced out feeling. Perhaps your timeline will be longer because you were on them for long, or maybe it's some effects of abilify. I hope that you stick with it and it improves soon, I believe that you can gain your abilities back over time.

Not quite back to normal yet but I’ve recovered pretty significantly about 8.5 months off, if you have any questions feel free too ask.

Did your anhedonia lift? Did you get back your thoughts? Hows your memory?

My thoughts are almost completely back almost 90% recovered in that department, anhedonia has been easing at a slow pace it gets better every month it’s still there but it’s mild/moderate and I can handle it no problem, my memory is still really bad it’s one of the things that hasn’t significantly improved for me but I can live with it I’d rather have shitty memory then severe anhedonia.
 
5 months off and no improvement in anhedonia, i do feel bit less depressed
 
I had to take seroquel because invega made me psychotic like all meds in psychiatry. I will reduce it the Problem i have is my anxiety that disables me a lot. I know you say its coming from seroquel but i know that in invega Feeling. They put me on risperdal first i had delusions on it death fears then i freaked out and yelled snd cried got totally crazy. They said to me i have to take invega even if it makes me suicidial cause i didnt behave well. We will See how i am doing with no or less Seroquel if i still have anxiety or not. I need constant assistance i started tdpung oft seroquel 10 percent. I feel Dizzy Plus i now suffer from headache attacks. Its probably the zopiclone. I am disabled with or without meds. Yesterday i celebrated my birthday
 
It makes me really sad that my life turned out to be this way. I now probably wont find love anymore, i dont know how i shall live by myself when mom dies. I sm fo afraid to end up at the shelter or home . My fear is the worst thing it paralizes me i cant move i cant go out on my own. When someone is with me I am ok. Tomorrow i have an appointment at my therapist Office. I am unable to have a relationship. I need to rest a lot its very sad. I wanna be positive about it but i lost friends
