Guys do you think it’s permanent for me ? I had 14 injections and it’s been over 11 months and I haven’t recovered at all not one bit … I feel brain dead compared to how I should feel … anhedonia , amotivation . Alogia , asociolatity, agrephobia , no pleasure from eating or masterbation and can’t feel substances , I’ve been in this state since my first injection 18 months ago … when should I just give up ? When would it be permanent ? I can’t live like this I’m just in my bedroom all day every day doing nothing … feel so fucked up

I am seriously cracking under this pressure. I’m not sure how long I can live like this. I don’t even sleep throughout the full night, I wake up early always and I’m never tired to fall back asleep. I really want to end it

I agree with you I have lasted longer than I should have. I had a good life. If I go ...I go. This drug may have taken my mind away. But I'll never take my love away from my children. I won't be robbed of that.

It would be nice if we could comment on the old Invega threads. I wonder if by commenting the old users will be notified via-email that they have a message on this thread? I wonder if most of the old users just moved on with their life and forgot about this thread.

You could always just DM the user directly, or tag their name on this thread to give them an alert. Just use @theirusername

I’m thinking about doing cold water plunges/Sauna treatments and seeing what affects it has on my mood. I read that the cold water plunges increases dopamine by like 200 percent or more instantly.
I also wonder if taking chlorophyll will be beneficial for clearing the skin on my body. I haven’t tried any supplements at all. I have had CBD gummies for helping with sleep, they were helpful to me at that time.

I really enjoyed doing sauna when I was in Finland a couple months ago, so I'd give it a shot. Not sure about the effects on brain chemistry, but the blood circulation will make you feel amazing physically.

I trully would love to know what happens inside the body after they inject us with these poisons... Damage to cells mitochondria or what? Sauna prolly detoxing that shit
 
I wonder how many of my injection side effects is ptsd from being forcefully drugged by nazi psychiatrists and parents using the fake schizophrenia diagnosis and most traumatic thing in my life against me. That shit alone can make you insane.

i think the injections themselves do the most side effects but it all goes away after a while
 
Just a question I have Lyme disease too. Could that be affecting why i'm not getting better? I have awful inflammation.

It's possible, could also be why they injected you in the first place. It's not the first time I've heard about Lyme disease being mistaken for schizophrenia and the like.

The Unfortunate Connection Between Lyme Disease and Mental Illness

Carol has been a patient of mine for over five years. We have walked through some of the most difficult times

Hey everyone, I joined this forum back in 2015 when I received 2 shots of Invega Sustenna. Just wanted to offer some hope to those going through a difficult time and feeling like things are hopeless. It does get better. I do feel as though I've recovered and can live a happy life again.
It took about 8 months until I started noticing significant improvements. However, in the early stages of recovery, I was having suicidal ideations daily and was in a really dark place. I check back in on this forum periodically to see how people are doing.

I am actually starting Graduate School for Nursing at Johns Hopkins on January 22nd, 2024. My goal is to go into Psychiatric Nursing and try to help people as best I can. I am not against antipsychotic use altogether. For example, in the case of acute psychosis, where the patient has a history of violence and not being compliant with medications, then I can understand why an injection may be considered. Although, I do think it should be a last resort because of how harsh they can be.

I hope those of you struggling start to feel better soon. Things improve slowly, but they do improve. Try your best to get some exercise and eat healthy. These can expedite the healing. Be kind to yourself. Treat yourself the way you would want someone you loved to be treated. Don't be too hard on yourself. There are people who care ❤️

If you have any specific questions for me, feel free to ask.

How is your sexual function

My sexual function is good. After receiving the injections, I didn't really have any sex drive for a few months. The first tine I had sex after the shots was somewhere in the range of 4-6 months off the injections. But it was difficult to get an erection and I didn't really feel like doing it. My sex drive is back now though. I have a prescription for Viagra just in case I ever have any issues with the erection-side of things. But I am able to get erections without it.
