Hey who is that person that recovered from 6 years of shots in 12 months? That gives me a lot of hope I pray that I have a swift recovery and by your 12 month mark you have a breakthrough to 100%. Can’t wait to hear you talking about being fully recovered. Did that person say life is normal again or would he even remember being in that state for 7 years?

I’m not sure. My mom was in a Facebook group for parents who’s kids went through psychosis. She asked if anyone had experience with invega. A parent said their kid had the same experience I did while on invega. His son took it for 6 years and took medication which he says makes made him heal faster. I think it was another antipsychotic. A pill form. I don’t recall him saying how the 6 years effected him.

I know we’ll heal it’s just a matter of when we’ll heal. Could be 12 months, which I don’t think will be the case for me, or it could be 3 years. I healed really well the first 7 months and haven’t healed since. I am worried it is going to take a long time for me.
 
I feel like I should mention that the book I'm writing is autobiographical and the later chapters will be about invega sustenna. If I can get it published, it might raise some awareness of what we're all going through.

What symptoms are you still dealing with at the moment ? How long are you off ?

How long after stopping the injection will psilocybin have its effect? Or even without noticing any psychedelic outcome during assumption does it help with recovery? I'm at month 4 and trying a big dose of truffles in a few days.

What about emotions and ability to feel cigarettes and alcohol and other substances ?

Ya good luck man I hope I am someone that heals within 12 months. I’ve been looking into brain recovery and it seems like it takes a long time I had a total of 1090mg and I’m 19
 
Thank you bro I look at you a lot when I’m down you had so many more. I can find many people that had more than me 1090mg

Youl recover just give it time. I had 3 shots of invega and 18 plus shots of abilify and it took me about a year or so to fully recover.

Everything went back to preinvega?
 
Rulomaner said:
For me Abilify is dead ass, it has killed every single part of my being. I dont know what is like to be on Invega but I think its pretty much the same for the most part. In terms of recovery time I think abilify takes 6 month per injection of 400mg, similar to the invega i think

You must just make up random shit it’s not 6 months per shot someone with 12 shots could recover in a year while someone with 1 shot could take 2

Heres a recovery from a previous thread:

«As a survivor of Invega Sustenna poison for one year or even more, I can tell you it does get better, guys... No anhedonia for me anymore, nor any restlessness, akathesia, etc... Like I was before...

Except for the fact that I am taking Haldol injections for some reason, which has impaired my ability to excersize and function, as well as in reading... But that is something to discuss on another day. Hang in there, guys... It does get better.»

How’s this a recovery when he’s still taking injections
 
I don't know what do do anymore, I feel like giving up on life already. Once I had reached the point where I regained the ability to nearly sleep normally once again, I began seeing other gradual improvements as well. Despite what I was experiencing I remained hopeful that over the course of time that I'd continue seeing many steady signs of recovery, until I could one day experience life once again the way I could prior. That's how I had felt until just 3 days ago, where for seemingly no explainable reason my sexual side effects had suddenly become very severe, I also feel more lethargic, less energetic, and weaker in comparison to just a week ago. I haven't taken any other meds of that kind since so I can't understand what would cause this to occur all of a sudden. A week prior although I still hadn't fully recovered I had made an immense improvement from where it once was shortly after the injection.

Incase you find this topic sensitive or too detailed you can skip this but I went from being almost sexually normal again to having a completely dead libido, inability to obtain or maintain an erection, feel little to no pleasure from doing it, and have very weak and delayed orgasms where I produce almost no semen now. I've also been experiencing constant testicular pain since. Technically speaking I suppose I could live a life free of masturbation or sex for the rest of my life but that would be extremely miserable and depressing, especially for a once healthy guy with a high libido/high testosterone in his early 20's. I haven't thought about committing suicide since the first 3 or so months when I had severe insomnia but I'm highly considering it again, I don't want to live the rest of my life like this. Suddenly what masamune has been claiming doesn't seem so absurd, I can't understand why I went from gradually recovering to suddenly getting worse overnight despite the discontinuation of such meds.
