Does anyone else feel extremely impatient because of the anhedonia? Finding it really hard to wait for things
 
So sick of these boring evenings. I need to get out and live my life. I just find everybody’s always busy these days. I was at a bar on friday socialized all night. Went on a date saturday. But the void in between encounters really get to me. I just can’t relax, I get bored so easily. I don’t know if it’s the anhedonia or if it’s just me. I had these kind of issues before as well.

I’m about to travel soon so there’s that. I honestly feel like the invega side effects have subsided alot, I can even feel the effects of alcohol again to a certain degree.

Any ideas on how I can find some fulfillment in my life? I know some of you guys like meditating and stuff.

If shit doesn’t work out where I live now I might move back to the states where I did my undergrad degree. Might even make some serious dough if I can find the right job. I’m looking for audit, accounting or corporate tax. But I don’t have the american cpa

I find that I need to be ‘on the move’ constantly doing something. Require more stimulation than normal people. I’m restless and get bored easily.
 
When invega is out of your system do your dopamine and serotonin receptors go back to the way they were before invega?

Please don't listen to rulomaner - a quick Google search shows scientists saying that damaged receptors return to normal in 90 days to 14 months - many if these studies done for opioid addicts. Rulonaner has no idea what he's talking about

It’s probably going to be at least 6 months when you start feeling a lot better. I’m guessing for 7 shots maybe like a year but it could be less. A good way to measure progress is like maybe every month on the same day write down improvements you’ve noticed . It’s probably going to be very gradual

Opioids are not Injectables, everyone knows that

Nobody knows (at least i havent looked into it)if opioid do more damage to the receptors than injectable antipsychotics, what we do know is that once the receptors stop being affected by whatever agent is destroying them they will regenerate. Your idea that invega never leaves the body is based purely in paranoia. Our cells constantly go through natural renewal processes and nothing stays in them forever. I know that's hard to believe because invega does have such a lasting and debilitating effect for so long. It's cool that you don't trust me , I've noticed that you don't trust anyone who says that they have recovered , but it's not cool to answer people's questions with pure conjecture based from your hopeless attitude

Can you describe a little about how your social skills have been impacted ? I also have been affected in this area so I know what you mean. Just trying to see if your experience has been/is anything like mine

Yeah my attention span has been shortened considerably, in other words I find it more difficult to remain focused on the same thing for an extended period of time. Compared to how unbearably bad my anhedonia used to be I've definitely improved a lot since, at first I could barely even get out of bed, or talk, I quite literally just said one to three worded "sentences" at most. I completely stopped caring for my surroundings and myself, stopped shaving, stopped showering, stopped brushing my teeth, and even stopped changing my clothes, FOR MONTHS. Nowadays I can basically function like I used to, not exactly but close enough since I regularly do almost everything I once stopped doing again, and feel some kind of motivation to do them now.

I used to be really outgoing, talkative and could speak to anyone. Now i feel socially awkward where my brain feels blocked and I can’t talk. It’s weird. I find it hard to make eye contact. I feel like i need to force myself now when before it all came naturally. I have very little to say as well.
 
I'd like to talk about it in detail but I obviously can't here, at least not this specific thread, so I'll try to keep it reasonable. About a week ago or so, I suddenly noticed one day after barely ever experiencing it for nearly 7 months that my libido, aka sex drive suddenly came rushing back not just a little, but A LOT. It's hard to say but it feels pretty close to where it was prior, mabye like 85 to 90% recovered in that aspect. It feels very relieving to know that something else I took for granted and never thought I'd suddenly loose almost came back completely. So much so that it's almost becoming kind of annoying since I had gotten pretty used to no longer having sudden frequent "urges". 🤣 I'm mainly saying this for guys but girls too, that it should be possible to recover in that area if it's something you're concerned about, which I definitely was. I'm probably gunna go into more precise detail in the thread specifically dedicated for this then because why not.
