i am 5 months off havent lost any of the 55 pounds i gained, it stopped increasing a month ago but hasnt decreased at all, maybe its a sign that i need more time to recover it would give me some hope once i start losing the weight, i am noticing i am becoming more angry now but its controllable it has always been controllable before invega too, my penis for a couple weeks has started to go back to normal or close to normal size most nights but shrinks a shit ton in the morning which is very weird and distressing

The only way you’re gonna lose that weight is probably diet and working out my guy. It’s not gonna naturally come off even if you are recovered.

i hope you get some help man but the harsh truth is that most doctors psychiatrists psychologists therapists nurses medical staff etc are all SCUMBAGS and WASTES OF OXYGEN! my therapist who im forced to see for 2 more months ive been seeing him for a very long time even before invega and he was helpful but now his ass doesnt know what to do for me so the motherfucker just says "its all in your head" all the fucking time "its out of your system" like shut the fuck up you ignorant fuck! i hope the doctors help you but chances are they could be a SCUMBAG who says "noo noo meds dont do that your delusional your psychotic you need higher dose of invega sustenna" fucking SCUMBAGS!

your last dose was 390mg mine was 310mg 5 months off no real improvement i fucking wonder if i will have real improvement in the next 5 months will I? do most people who recover from this poison see significant improvement 10-12 months off? or do most people who recover take fucking over a year to start seeing significant improvement? i dont fucking know how much longer after 5 more months i can go without giving up if i have no significant improvement then

Look, I was improving pretty well before I took Prozac. I think you will be fine. Look, I was improving pretty well before I took Prozac. I think you will be fine. Also, honestly dude, I'm not sure if I like you, please leave me alone. You reply to me a lot.

I think I might stop posting here. As my 7 month anniversary draws near, I see the glaring lack of improvement due to my PSSD. I have an arrested recovery. I think my next long update here will be my last unless the PSSD stops. I'm going to get a PCOS diagnosis and further discuss what to do about it. I'll make a post about how this fucked up my hormones that were already out of whack.

Prozac+weed combo took everything I had left. It was a mistake to take it and a bigger mistake to smoke on it. I thought I received a "sign" it would be safe in one of BigSmoke420's posts. I had a bizarre feeling joining this place would ruin my recovery and I guess that's how that happened. I'm just a doomed, empty shell, even more of a hopeless loser than before. I have nothing to live for, no desire to do anything anymore. I can't even watch TV. I don't want random strangers to be around that. I don't want to be around anybody but the people I'm close to, even then I'm afraid of hurting them or making them abandon me.

Hey guys I’m fairly new to blue light. I received both loading doses of Invega 234 + 156 mg within 4 days last injection was October 6th. Looking for hope. It’s been 34 days. At first I was sleeping all day and barely had any energy to walk and do simple tasks, drooling even . I have complete sexual disfunction can’t ejaculate but I can still get morning wood. No libido either. My energy physically is still shit and there’s also lack of emotions, can’t cry or have joy etc. Trying to go to the gym was out of the question (even now it’s difficult). I’ve seen slight improvement within the month as far as physical energy and even cognitive but I’m still slow. Would like someone to talk to while I recover from this. Also if anyone can share with me their recovery stories there a huge help.

Also, I’m 21. I’ve always had a fast metabolism and very athletic my whole life involved in sports. Wrestling, jujitsu, running, lifting. How long do y’all think it will take for me to go back to normal ? Especially sexual functions and energy levels. I’ve seen most it takes 6-18 months.

yeah 6-18 months is the recovery time for sure and if you always had a fast metabolism you should recover probably around 4-12 months off the poison you had a high dose so maybe it will take up to 12 months to fully recover and 6-8 months for first significant improvement

Mental Health - Coming off Invega Sustenna (paliperidone)

Hi, I was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia last year and was forced to take Invega Sustenna at 100mg a month for 10 months started back on December 5th 2012. The medication gave me severe anhedonia and rendered me an emotionless zombie who cannot function. I have lost my job and have been on...

Did you recover ?
 
One positive thing came out of all of this. I ended up coming out to my parents a few days ago. If circumstances were better, I would try dating, but I don't think anyone would want to date me the way I am right now. I think it's easier to be queer with PSSD, at least most of the time. I never kissed anyone though, and I feel like I've been robbed of the pleasure my first kiss would give me.

not yet only 5 months off my last dose was 156+156 so 310 which is huge my mental abilities have improved and my mood has improved because i was 24/7 suicidal 2 months ago i dont feel like constantly tortured now and im not suicidal now but i still have sexual dysfunction and anhedonia which sucks not extreme anhedonia i can smile now i can joke sometimes now i can laugh sometimes now and sometimes i have a little interest in things like some videos on tiktok, some youtube, video games, shows, but i still feel pretty numb honestly which sucks but again im early in recovery only 5 months off man and my last dose was huge as fuck 310mg! also my parkinsons went away in 2 months

Not true, everyone has to diet and work hard to lose the weight. I don’t know of anyone who just lost the weight.
 
also i think exercise can help heal the receptors in our brains so i will try to exercise more i think we have the normal amount of dopamine after a few months but since our receptors were blocked for so long our receptors cant respond to it until like 3-14 months of healing but some people who never recovered may have permanent damage to their receptors unfortunately
 
i know no one pays attention to my posts because i make myself look like a degenerate which im sorry about im trying to change that but i think the stronger your brain and body are give you a better chance at recovering just like how certain people die from the flu or covid they might have weaker systems and if they were injected with paliperidone poison they will be less likely to recover vs the people who survive flu or covid if they were injected they are more likely to recover i think older people have a lower chance at recovering sorry to say because those are the same people who would more likely get complications or die from the flu or covid kinda makes sense so most people here are hopefully healthy and have strong enough bodies to recover from this poison i hope my body is strong enough to recover from the poison some people suffer from the flu for a couple days some suffer for weeks so similarly some people recovering from this poison recover in 3-4 months and some take up to 18 months this kinda makes sense to me honestly
 
I just saw someone’s post on fb about recovering after 16 MONTHS off. Jesus Christ how long do we have to wait
 
Has anyone else done a full hormone panel? I need to know how long hormones are fucked up and if anyone else's are as fucked up as mine.
