I have lost about 5 kg since the last time I weighed myself two months ago. I made some changes to my diet that has helped. Reduced alcohol intake and exercised regularly. I don’t feel the need to overeat anymore. Exercising has gotten easier as well. It’s just tough to take that initial step out the door. Still feel lethargic.

Good job! Keep at it! I still feel lethargic too — but I’m making progress!

your 9.5 months off invega???
 
Seven months off...Last week regressed estimate about 15 % ...months of recovery down the drain. Forget recovery from injections if you take any other antipsychotics even if its a shitty amount like 2.5 mg

Happy early birthday! Looks like we both have birthdays on the same month then, since mine's coming up in 12 days on the 30th of june. Man strangely time has passed by for me much faster than usual since I took invega for some reason.

Random side note, I saw my primary care doctor on thursday to talk about the different recommendations/suggestions for which supplements, probiotics, and vitamins I should take for already pre-existing conditions and ones caused by invega and it comes down to a total of around $250 per month, not even including the NAD injection I get once a week for $50 each time. Everything combined is still much cheaper then something like a NAD IV, but I wasn't expecting to spend that much on treatments alone. If anyone's interested in knowing what I'll take I'll leave a list below. They all serve different purpouses, but they're primarily intended to help with hypothyroidism, overall cognition, metabolism/weight loss, and ED which was caused by invega.

L-Arginine
Pycnogenol
Vitamin D3
Vitamin K1/K2 ( helps with vitamin d3 absorption )
O.N.E Multivitamin ( by Pure Encapsulations )
Thyroid Support Complex ( same brand as the multivitamin and contains a few of the same vitamins but the exceptions are: L-Tyrosine, Ashwagandha, Forskholii, Guggul, and Tumeric )
Taurine
L-Carnitine
and last but not least Thin 30 Probiotics, ( by Physician's Choice )

With swimming I didn’t notice a difference really in my strength but with running I personally feel like I get tired more easily like by legs feel heavier if that makes sense. I have improved over time. I think with effort and time you can get to whatever point you want to get to. Do you play competitive sports?

Online it says it is a possibility. But it seems to be for people who have been on it long term. According to Google, “Tardive dyskinesia is a condition affecting the nervous system, often caused by long-term use of some psychiatric drugs. Side effects are repetitive, involuntary movements, such as grimacing and eye blinking. Treatment can help, but this condition can't be cured.”
