exactly 13 months as of todayHow many months are you off?
Congratulations! How many months off were you when you were fully functional?exactly 13 months as of today
Please tell me you can feel a buzz after drinking a beer or two XDUpdating my status in this thread just to say that you can 100% recover from all side effects from injections
I reached the point in which I don't even have to think about it anymore: can hold 9to5 jobs perfectly, drive across the whole country, play games, hang out with friends and like myself just like I did pre-injection
I was already doing fine at 10 months off and now I feel like 100 bucks: no hard drugs, no prescribed bullshit: just diet, daily walking and just pushing myself to have a schedule and endure the incredibly hard life of the first few months were all I really needed, plus the recovery stories that you can read at the beginning of the thread (and those aren't even half of the ones I've read in the past threads)
keep it up
I would say I’m 75% healed. The only major side effect left is when I meet someone new or see an old friend. I am very quiet and awkward which I never was before. This is the most annoying side effect. I’m fine around family and close friends. Other side effect is I still have regret, which is something I heard someone mention earlier. I think “I should have done this” when I recall previous memories. It is very annoying. So far the only side effect keeping me from being functional is my social ability with strangergood for you
How long has it been for you? I’ve only had two injections and eight months later I’m still suffering.I don't need euphoria. I want to be able to like things, and being able to work at full capacity as before. I'm still too much anhedonic and numbed.
How long until you regained your thoughts and emotions? How about your memory is it the same as before?Updating my status in this thread just to say that you can 100% recover from all side effects from injections

my thoughts and prayes go out to Merek and His familyI'm trying to reach Merek on discord, nothing![]()
I’m a little over 8 months now. It is bearable now. Still not socially functional which sucks. That’s rough you’re at 8 months and still suffering. Do you have any improvements?How long has it been for you? I’ve only had two injections and eight months later I’m still suffering.
Took me like 12 months to be 100% and even more : experiencing this kind of hardship shaped me into a better person than I was pre-injection, truly happy just to be alive and fully functioning when during the first few months I legitimately thought I was going to never live a decent life again and suicide felt like an actual logical option. Good thing I decided to keep going just for a bit, also thanks to all the people who recovered and shared their tale.Congratulations! How many months off were you when you were fully functional?

Can you feel the effects of coffee im 14 months off and recovered pretty well but I can’t feel caffeine and I can’t feel excitementTook me like 12 months to be 100% and even more : experiencing this kind of hardship shaped me into a better person than I was pre-injection, truly happy just to be alive and fully functioning when during the first few months I legitimately thought I was going to never live a decent life again and suicide felt like an actual logical option.

One important thing to note is that you actually recover faster than you can notice, so maybe you can get some things back and in a few months you'll think about it and say "yeah I was already slowly improving a little even back then"
I do not habitually drink beer (or any alcohol) but last week I had some at a party and 100% felt it. That will come back.
My first window of positive emotions was like uhh back in July (3 months off): I was hanging out with this really cute and cool friend who was making jokes and I was all kinds of happy and positive even if it was just for that short moment. After that I gradually started feeling things a bit more often (like once every few weeks I'd just catch a glimpse of positive emotions) until I finally started having my normal range of emotions again at 10-12 months off
My memory and cognitive abilities completely came back and I now treasure it a lot. I enjoy exercising my memory skills and actually do a ton of complicated puzzles which make me feel really good when I complete them at speeds that other people find nothing less than just incredible
Last February my new psych gave me an IQ test and I scored in the top2% even though I felt like I actually underperformed a bit. She's been very nice and supportive with me so far (unlike the previous one who injected me with this shit to begin with)
There is absolutely nothing in my life that's being affected by Invega/Xeplion anymore and the same can be for anyone, as long as you keep being alive until it finally happens
I've read about one of the guys who apparently went missing after a few worrisome posts. I hope he's doing alright but more importantly I hope everyone struggling with this stays strong: this is one AP that *can* and *did* take lives
Another important thing to note: When I fully recovered from the injections I also got back a few of my issues like strong anxiety with a some mood swings which were the things I willfully went to a psych for help to begin with.
With the newly acquired awareness of how bad some doctors can really be I just decided to live and deal with my own problems rather than just trying to med them away but this is a case in which mileage may wildly vary
It may be a (natural) tolerance thing, I know I will have a strong tolerance when this is over because I am chugging caffeine these days trying to induce a rush to no availCan you feel the effects of coffee im 14 months off and recovered pretty well but I can’t feel caffeine and I can’t feel excitement
I think the hardest part is not experiencing my emotions. I don’t have motivation to cook or anything. I did have trouble sleeping, that’s improved.I’m a little over 8 months now. It is bearable now.

12 months you should notice your ability to hold conversation and feel normal around people start coming backI’m new here and just hoping for any advice or suggestions towards improving
Is there anything I can do to feel emotions. I can’t feel love or anything it’s like my heart is blocked.12 months you should notice your ability to hold conversation and feel normal around people start coming back
It’s a natural side effect, but a slice of advice, don’t dwell on it because you won’t be able to recover that way. Live your life and one day you realize it’s over and you can feel connected to people. The medicine antagonizes the receptors that make you warm and fuzzyIs there anything I can do to feel emotions. I can’t feel love or anything it’s like my heart is blocked.
Little over a monthhow many months are you off
I still have a hrs time changing my clothes so the anhedonia is still there. Hopefully you will start to feel more improvements soon. For me there wasn’t a way to speed up the process. A good sleep schedule was important. Sleep is the only way I have found that combats invega. I do also take mood stabilizers as they are for increasing mood for depressed people. So that has increased my mood. Welcome to the thread this is the only place that provided me hope when I was going through the rough of it.I think the hardest part is not experiencing my emotions. I don’t have motivation to cook or anything. I did have trouble sleeping, that’s improved.
