They are not all the same. Invega and abilify are fucking horrible i would rather thorazine which ive had in the past. I could not for the life of me lose weight on invega or abilify. However now that im on zyprexa i have lost most of the gut and put on about 30lbs of muscle.

Also bipolar and schizophrenia are very real i have seen plenty of people with both.

I dont think invega should be prescribed unless nothing else works though
For me they are just labels
 
Fat distribution pre and post invega are the same, I was in a state of barely eating for months pre invega so I didn't really get that skinny again but I did return to my regular comfortable weight of a size 4 -6 post invega. For me it looks obvious how puffy my face is on invega compared to off it but maybe that is just because I know myself well.
How long were you on invega? Did you recover your emotions and thinking?
 
It simply wasn't pre invega...pre invega i was happy and euphoric everyday i had really sharp memory and alot of creativity i was especially a very emotional person. Post invega Emotions are gone, happy euphoric feeling was gone and zero creativity just difficulty communicating to people.
I never tell anyone its zero recovery but things were obviously missing post invega
Could be it takes longer than two years but then agian i fall in the camp of people who don't fully recover for years

Trips on drugs like mushroom, lsd and weed were totally different simply not the same as pre invega. Alcohol still didnt give me any euphoria
What has improved for you 80 to 90 precent?
 
What dou you feel different now from zyprexa?

Well my anhedonia is gone, my sex drive is back to what i was when i was a teenager and my attension span is also back. Im also putting on muscle again from lifting heavy weights and i am not fat anymore. My gut is still abit flabby but its nothing some planks wouldnt fix.

Basically i am getting no real side effects from the zyprexa

Side effects of invega simply went away and i could enjoy video games again..i rarely noticed anything until i found out in competetive multiplayer games im always somewhere on the last place which is different than pre invega. I couldn't enjoy art like i used to and couldn't make or think art when i tried. Its all thesesubtle things where you suddenly found out you are not the same pre invega. Not feeling emotions was obvious in the first place but when handling or caring for animals i suddenly couldn't feel emotions...i wouldnt care if someone killed my cat or dog nothing wil go on in my head. Only emotions which are there is somekind of depression

And before this i was kind of an impulsive thinker i would think all day about things but now my (pre abilify but also on abilify) my mind goes blank i don't have the same stream of thought. i can go to friends and still enjoy a football match but the beer won't give me any euphoria and i had trouble communicating trouble coming with new material to talk about..overall blank mind. If i went out i could easily pick up a chick pre invega i could easily date someone...post invega its extremely hard.

My body fully recovered and i can enjoy things again, i can speedread a book albeit with poorer memory just overall better life than being on invega

I hope you’re still not on any shots as that’s probably why it’s taking so long. Everyone I’ve talked to said they returned to who they were maybe they just forget who they were?

Two years of no antipsychotics...then i got forced on abilify which i will be off in a month. Im very pessimistic about recovery from abilify because i wasnt fully recovered from invega. Sometimes it takes longer than two years i guess...i had no improvement in emotions whatsoever.

Thank you for the information

^ I also recovered and i had 3 injections of invega and over 18 injections of abilify. My attention span was the last thing to come back
Did you have anxiety cause of invega
 
I’m worried my metabolism is messed up permanently. I am almost 10 months off and I have been working out constantly for 3 months. I also eat very healthy and have not lost 1 lb.
