Will I ever be back to the way I was before? Energetic, happy, outgoing, fun, loving, caring, creative, and just full of life and energy. I lost it all when I took the pill form of invega and it messed me up so bad that i didn’t even realize that there was something wrong with me. All I could sort of grasp at that time was that I couldn’t talk. I thought it was my anxiety but I remember when I first got to the phyc ward I was extroverted and talkative to people. But on top of that to leave the hospital they told me that once you take the injections that would be when your able to leave. I thought I was getting help there and went voluntarily because I was having some bad intrusive thoughts. It definitely went away because I didn’t have any thoughts at all after that. I took 2 loading dose injections of invega Sustenna.
(256mg and 156mg).
It’s been 5 months of me being off all that stuff and though it’s gotten better I still don’t see myself going back to the way I was before.(at least as of right now). But What’s your guy’s experience with antipsychotics? Has anyone here recovered before and gotten everything that they have lost from these horrible drugs back?
