Because I still had anhedonia and never lost my belly, that's basically it.
I heard haldol is a way more harmful then Xeplion or invega, that's why I'm saying it.

yes it may be a little worse than xeplion but there is no irreversible antagonist, the only way to have permanent damage is to take neuroleptics for 1 year or more in my opinion, the brain is resilient and with time it comes back to where the body was originally and well done I believe in healing

is then you it's I've even seen people say that it's xeplion and much worse than haldol, apparently because there's some with xeplion it's no longer possible to think about me I still have my inner way, afterwards if I don't heal completely I would say the opposite
 
I just contacted Janssen Cilag regarding the elimination time of Haldol. They told me that the effects of Haldol injections last even with a few mg, that's why even if I reach the 7th half-life and have about 3 mg of poison in my blood, I don't I still have no emotions. They told me I had to wait until the summer to get everything back. Ps: Janssen products also Invega Sustenna (or Xeplion in Europe). testimony 1
 
yes, all but one recovered from haldol. those who have not yet recovered received an injection more recently. They seem to be able to make a full recovery, so there's nothing to worry about. I've never taken haldol, I don't think so, but I don't think a single injection of psychological medication is the worst of all. invega is close to it. I've seen what others have experienced while taking Haldol and Abilify and they would be up there. with Haldol, there is way too much sedation for my liking. invega seems to make your head spin and abilify seems to want to drag you through the twilight zone before dropping you off at a Detroit bus station. testimony 2
 
I also found a guy who had been taking it for 3 months and felt better after 8-9 months. He did not say how many months it took since the last injection to feel better. It seems he is doing well and is now busy living his life to give more details.

Then I found another guy who took Haldol for 3 months, then I got Invega Sustenna injection for 1 month. It took him about the same amount of time to recover. He mentioned that one night he suffered from sleep paralysis and then felt a wave of euphoria wash over him. The next morning, he said he woke up feeling better than he had all year.
 
They gave you Haldol for DEPRESSION? It's bad. Haldol causes extreme depression.

You need a dopamine medication. If it's out of your system, your receptors are back. All you have to do is stimulate them again. There are legal manoaminergics and Kratom could help you. In the meantime, I recommend studying Bible prophecies. This helped me a lot during my recovery period.

I would love to be in your situation and not mine. I won't have this stuff out of my system for six months. Either way, I don't know to what extent this might constitute permanent damage. I know you shouldn't have much, if any, permanent damage and will recover sooner than I did. The only way brain damage becomes permanent is with long-term use (1 year or more). It actually shrinks the brain
 
I have just come back to bring a little hope: after 8.5 months of stopping (haldol injections) I feel better, I have found my emotions, my laughter, my thoughts, everything is fine thanks to God. I know that haloperidol is not paliperidone but it is the oldest antipsychotic and I too suffered from it, particularly from anhedonia (no wonder I chose this nickname lol). But it's true that we can recover like me, like other people from difficulties, it's entirely possible. I'm really grateful for this big, hopeful thread. Wait my friends
 
We have no choice and I sympathize because it is real torture to feel mentally weakened and no longer want to live.
and all the existential questions.
The most important thing is that we completely stop the medications by going through a tough withdrawal depending on each person and we must let our brain recover over time.
In any case, hold on as much as possible because you will return to the way you were before...
Good luck, you are on the right track
(Many patients have recovered a happy life, the brain recovers by itself)
 
I have to take 1 mg of Haldol per day otherwise I relapse (last year I weaned myself off Haldol then I relapsed) because I have chronic psychosis. 1mg is the minimum effective dose. When I weaned myself from xeplion, I found my emotions and my motivation again after 10 months of stopping. You will see you will regain your abilities (each time I stopped a neuroleptic I found my abilities) you have to wait 6 to 7 half-lives to find them again, it comes first in waves: there are moments when you feel good then moments of depression, it will be like that until it stabilizes.
 
Hi guys and gals, I haven't had blue light for a while, I just want to say I'm a year and 18 days off Invega, I've had 7 shots at 150 doses.

I HAVE COMPLETELY RECOVERED. I have a full libido and all my interests in hobbies and fun activities have returned, I now enjoy movies and music and am pursuing women again, everything no longer seems pointless.

Before when I was on Invega and after I left Invega I lost interest in movies, music and hygiene was a monumental task, I couldn't have intelligent and deep conversations, I could remember shit, I couldn't cry or get excited, everything just felt flat, I felt wise. I went to work, was at work and had free time, it was all the same and I lost all interest in women and sex, I had no creativity, no daydreams, I never felt any gratification in doing something I should have been proud o

the way our emotions and feelings normalize or rebalance again. we never forget how to ride a bike and our emotions are the same, they know how they are supposed to work. whole bodies and brains do this because of DNA and us shaping our experiences in reality. in this case, hope
 
Thank you for sharing. you are not the first to receive invega and haldol, so this is good news that you will experience. you will also recover. you are strong enough to get through this.
 
to answer your question with the new information: I am neither a psychiatrist nor a chemist but I doubt that what happened will make your recovery impossible. they both target the same 4 receptors and we think they are the ones causing us so many problems. the good part is that the damage has already been done and you are moving forward in healing. in this specific case, it seems that haldol is a bit like a substitute for xeplion. you received the same xeplion injection but it was an expired batch and you might have one or two different side effects/withdrawal symptoms, but that's not the end. just another story you can tell your kids while sitting around the radio and drinking hot coco one day.
 
So there is nothing to worry about even for those who have taken 1 year or more it will just take more time courage we are in the same boat strength and courage 💪
