Interesting, I'm also not entirely sure what you are referring to by "depersonalization" but I at least never experienced bladder issues the entire time coming off of Invega. Well actually now that I'm thinking about it I feel as if my bladder had a lower capacity of retaining urine but it doesn't seem as if that problem lasted for too long.

I had to urinate every 1h during the first 3 months off.

I’m sorry you’re going through this man. The suffering is unreal. Never knew a reality like this existed until it happened to me.

Neither did I, I'm sure none of us would've ever imagined that something so serious and traumatic would occur in our lives. At one point my life was great, certainly not perfect but considering the fact that I was working, studying, and in much better physical shape yes, only for everything to completely turn around in a near instant one day.
 
How do you guys feel being shot up with this shit? Do you feel regret? Worry? Do you hate God for doing this to you? Its got me questioning everything i used to be really spiritual before

Definitely yes to the first two questions, but no for the third. Although I do still consider myself religious I wouldn't blame God for what occurred to me. I will say though that the day my psychiatrist suggested this injection I had an uneasy feeling about it, but was foolish enough to ignore that sign and take it regardless.

I get overwhelmed sometimes. I wish that I enjoyed more of life before going through this, but I don’t hate God for this! I was a really religious person too, not so much anymore.
 
Relax guys it gets better. Most people recover fully in a year and are out of here. Remember that your mentality has an impact on recovery. You young guys are especially voulnerable but you will become indestructible after this. Don’t just think life is a breeze for everybody else, most people in this world have severe problems, it depends on who you compare yourself with. Make the best out of a shitty situation be productive build something, go to school before it’s too late. You can do this don’t believe that invega makes you a retard or it will become true.

Well I guess I wasn't really being specific, I just meant like affection or gratitude. But really I was more concerned about was whether you've made a full recovery or not, from sexual side-effects.

The only relationship I've ever had was abusive. Other than that I don't think I can really clarify

I keep thinking that because antipsychotics including Invega apparently reduce grey matter in the brain, combined with the fact that I couldn't sleep at all for over 3 months and experienced a stroke, that I've been left too unintelligent to ever return to college but at the same time people that have taken antipsychotics or had a stroke are still capable of performing well in school apparently. Really the main reason why I haven't attempted to return is due to the anhedonia, I feel as if it'll be more difficult to remain motivated or interested in trying to learn compared to before.
