Its easy to want to be indenial , i was too when i first got off, but Everyone will end up having to deal with whatever issue put them on invega in the first place if they don't end up dealing with supersensitivity syndrome first

I love how the mods like the “positive” ppl and are big on liking the positive posts. It never used to be like that on this forum at all. Wtf has this forum turned into…of course you want to give ppl hope. But this place is for ppl to vent and discuss their side effects! And when their side effects subside! It’s not suppose to be a rainbows and butterfly’s place where it’s just positive forum like everything’s peachy once you discontinue Invega Sustenna! It’s ridiculous what’s the point of coming on here saying a bunch of positive things when you’re still suffering in bed? You’re just lying!

I agree. But saying things like "recovery is impossible" or "your brain shrunk forever" isn't bitching about side effects its actively trying to discourage others when what we should be doing is measure and sharing our own progress...people here can be suicidal so I think trying to scare those recovering or bring them down is a really shifty thing to do and I'll push back on it. Saying "I don't believe I'll ever recover" is different than saying "I've researched everything on the internet and know that recovery is impossible"

Some. I have improved overall. Less anhedonia, more motivation. I still can’t make eye contact and can’t hold a conversation. I Haven’t had any improvement since month 7

Invega has made me less of a man. Not even sexually. I’m way more submissive now.

«No one ever has anything good to say on this site most of you aren’t even mentally I’ll and are complaining that Invega took away your life try actually being sick and having to be on Invega and dealing with the negative effects of the illness and being scared to switch medication in hopes you won’t relapse. Suck it up and go workout, take vitamins be optimistic and wait six months for Invega Sustenna to leave your body completely. I feel like death and have been on it for a little over a year. I have chest pains, eye twitches in a blank fog most of the day, can’t sleep and am 15 pounds overweight and can’t workout I don’t feel like doing a fucking thing and have no hope for the future. Everything fucking sucks and on top of it Invega has made me look way different and I can’t even hold down a fucking conversation. It’s 5:52 pm and I’m in bed miserable.» helpmeinvega

Yeah that’s when they thought it was a mental illness lol turns out it wasn’t but thanks for doing a deep dive into my posts!
 
Out of curiosity ive read many posts about this drug and horrendous side effects.Just to clarify things I have no mental illness never had these injections so i cannot relate to the suffering.But Im going to put my 2cents worth in because my words just dont relate to this drug but challenges in life in general.
As Baddream quoted 'i refuse to lay down ' find that inner strength to fight and move forwards to healing ...no matter how long it takes.Each and everyone has this will and determination to heal inside them .
Someone once told me a long long time ago 'You are what you think you are'which is in simple terms ...a state of mind...if you keep thinking negatively healing will be far slower ...than with a more positive mindset.Its just a mind thing apart from physical side effect.On that note I wish all of you the best recovery possible...peace to all one day.What a nightmare of a drug!!!

While I agree it is better to remain positive, that is not always the case with invega sustenna. “If you keep thinking negatively healing will be far slower,” is not proven. For the first 4 months it was extremely hard for me to remain positive. I was chemically castrated and didn’t have a mind set at all. I didn’t have a negative mindset or a positive mindset. It almost feels as if you don’t have a choice what mindset you have with invega, especially in the beginning. “You are what you think you are” is a good saying but like I said, if you can’t think, you don’t know what you are or how you should be. Invega is a lot easier to look at from the outside. I agree it is better to be positive, but that is not always the case on invega. Some days it feels as if it is almost impossible to be positive on the medication.

It was an inspirational speech. If you look at my first posts, I was very inspiring and always positive. After months, invega wears you down and you end up just living with it.

How long on average does the anhedonia last and do you fully recover from it? It’s making me extremely suicidal. I feel trapped in my own body.

I started being able to be entertained easily (movies and video games) around month 12.

Keep pushing everyone! This battle is so difficult straight out of high school.

I'm sorry invega interrupted that important time of transition in your life. I regret the year I missed of my young children's lives while recovering
 
I’m not saying there is no hope, I believe recovery is possible. I just don’t think a specific mindset is going to speed up the recovery process, at least in my experience.
