How do all of you keep it together after going through this experience? What keeps you from being depressed or lifts you out of depression???

It’s hard I can’t lie I struggle with this myself. All I can do is have hope in the future and see that other people have fully recovered and so can I.

Why did you take it so long? I couldn’t imagine 17 months of invega.

I have no idea why my doctor had me on it for so long and I didn’t fight to get off it sooner, my mistake I was in a different city then my doctor too and she was calling in my injections to a clinic every month and I was having phone call appointments with her. It was so dumb. I could’ve been off it month three to be honest.

How is your motivation and emotions? I’m sorry that you are having chest pains, that’s awful!

I have motivation but I’m in chronic pain so that curbs my motivation. I’d say half of the month my motivation is pretty high, and the other half it’s pretty low. I never really feel good so that weighs me down, it’s either I’m dizzy, or my chest hurts, or I’m really tired. Or something weird is happening from being on Invega Sustenna for so long. It’s always something bad.

I haven’t talked to any of my friends in months due to invega. I have No social life whatsoever.

From what I’ve read on their posts, no.

Most of the people I have contacted on Reddit seem to have recovered. Also, a person I am friends with on Facebook recovered in 12 months after 6 years of injections. There is hope.
