Is your anhedonia better?

It is. My main problem right now is I'm not enjoying things that I used to enjoy by myself very much. I'm not as into watching shows, but I like reading books and playing video games. Walking alone is kind of boring, but I like walking with a friend or talking on the phone while I walk. I can make art, but its not hitting the same right now. I've had to adjust where I get my enjoyment for now, but I'm getting by.

Invega fucked me up. The day after my injection I had been zombified.

I didn’t start feeling it until 4 weeks after my injection. Usually it is 2 weeks. Not sure if it makes a difference

Month 8-10 have been some of the worst. At least with months 1-7 I had healing every couple of weeks. Now I haven’t recovered at all on the past two months.

Did you experience your brain being fried/burning sensation from invega?

Brain fried yes. It is still happening now. I am not as quick as I was, I can’t carry a conversation, I can’t make decisions well and I don’t have mental clarity

It’s interesting you say the months where you have been working out have been the worst I wonder why that is.

Yes, I feel better after I work out. But when I wake up I have extreme depressions still. Constantly asking myself why this happened to me in the morning.

Oh, bless my doctor. I called her up today to talk about the physical side effects of invega and getting a blood test and she said "isn't it only supposed to last for a month?"

I am in the exact same situation with almost everyone I've talked to. The psychiatrist that perscribed me Invega believed it would only last a month, as well as others from that same clinic such as my therapist, employment specialist, peer support specialist, etc. That also includes a few family members, but in reality, according to what I've read about the half-lives it's designed to last almost an entire year, but apparently there's still traces of it present even after several years from people who took blood tests afterwards.

Same with me. One of the only reasons I took invega was because my doctor told me it lasted for only one month. They also said there were no side effects. I thought, “If I don’t like it it will just wear off in a month.” 10 months later, here I am.

What about Sexual dysf?

That got better at 9-12 months and back to normal at 16 months

What side effects did you experience after the injections?

I’ve posted before but it was no emotions, barely any thoughts, loss of interests in things, no enthusiasm, dissociation, blank mind, loss of creativity and feeling of music and movies, intrusive thoughts of bad memories, every bad memory affected me a lot more. All of these side effects were returned to normal pre Invega and I actually felt better than pre Invega after 2 years. At 1.5 years I felt quite happy in general. It made me a better person
 
I feel like my body holds heat now, like I feel really warm, but don’t sweat.

Really wish more people made videos about their battle/recovery or non recovery with Invega.
