Me and harmedbypsychward have symptoms people in this thread dont have. I have been in touch with him on discord. I have no emotions at all and no hunger signals at all, after my psychosis i only took antipsychotics for a month and he did the same pretty much, he took seroquel for a short time and tried to taper off it. Nothing feels good and even when i orgasm i never feel pleasure. I told him the first 8 months were terrible but it gets better. Although i dont think i will ever get my emotions or hunger back.

I had all the side effects you described and much worse. Now some of it is gone or improved significantly.

I had tens of side effects maybe up to 50 altogether. Just have one left. It may seem like you won't get things back but remember your body is healing and you are also getting rid of the drug at the same time.
 
Apparently someone I know lied about her husband having had invega, and she was the one who had it done to her. She had two loading doses in a year and suffered for three years. She's fine now, recently divorced and running her own soapery business. I'm going to see her soon, she's my sister's friend and we both knew her from school. I'll see if I can get her to post her story here.
 
Is there anyone here that recovered fully or to a great degree after receiving Clopixol depot shots? if so, how many shots did you get? did you get your sexual desire back?
 
I thank God for my perfect life. I appreciate him for blessing me always to be happy. Every day for me is victory. Each day I'm enlightened with truth. I live a sanctified and holy life full of peace and pleasure. I'm a king and sovereign lord. God is my eternal guard.

May you all experience heaven on earth. May you all have world peace. May God rule in your hearts. And may you live in heaven forever.

Peace and love!

😀😀😀😀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I was lucky enough to only be hit with one loading dose of Invega Sustenna about 2 years ago. I don't know the exact date, but maybe I can check my medical records and see when it was. They tried to pressure me into taking another dose the next day, but I refused adamantly. I was a walking zombie for weeks (while in the hospital, I was there for 6 weeks), my knees buckled and I hit my head on the hospital floor very badly. (thankfully no blood, but no law-suit either bc it's my word against theirs) the zombie-like state continued in an indefinite way. Very very slow improvements. I couldn't even leave the house without somebody holding my hand. (not literally, but I think you get the point) loss of libido, forgetfulness, irritability, seeming trouble with most bodily and mental functions. This stuff truly is horrible. My body felt like it was on fire the day following the loading dose.
I was coming off of klonopins, and they actually said that the Invega would help with my symptoms. I told them they were full of it, but I still got hit in a moment of weakness. (I had freaked out bc they gave me too much of one of my medications (clozapine), and they had to take me down with haldol). So guess what else they injected me with while I was in haldol hell? An Invega loading dose!
I feel very much for what you guys are going through. I only had one shot, and that was enough to decommission me for a very very long time, seemed like 5 years in only one.
Now that its been multiple years, (as I said, 2+) I've gotten mental clarity back, my libido came back, issues with eating have gotten better. I still have trouble urinating sometimes, and a lack of motivation still hangs over my head. I've never felt depression like that before, but it is getting better.
PLEASE don't lose hope fellow sufferers! These things take time. Especially with IM injections containing these kind of poisons. As usual, the best thing for recovery is proper diet and exercise. For people that like music, it can provide a great escape. Find places in nature if you can, listen to the beauty of our planet. Learn to meditate and find inner strength. You also may want to try to supplement with CBD/THC. High dose CBD with low dose THC seems to work for me. (5:1 CBD:THC ratio or higher, also CBD:CBN combos have really helped me with sleep. Watchout for highly concentrated THC products. They probably will induce unwanted anxiety and paranoia. (this is just me, YMMV) Omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, calcium, B-complex, and B-12 daily have helped. (Disclaimer: I am NOT advocating the use of marijuana derived products to help with the long-term side-effects of these drugs, I am just stating what has seemed to help me).
Please feel free to DM me, I'm usually always free, and ready to help with emotional/psychological support. (I am not certified in any way, I just have experience with being drugged "medicated" since age 15.)

I can't meditate I feel too awake, so closing my eyes feels strange. I hate sleeping. People say it's a superpower to don't feel fatigue, but it's not, also appetite feeling is gone again. Nature doesn't interest me anymore.
Without Work the days would be even longer :( I just don't know how to slay time when not even reading a book satisfies me. If I could meditate atleast I would do inner work
 
My hunger signals existed for a few months but now they are gone again. Breakfast, lunch and Dinner seems too much. I do feel emotions but crying myself is hard I need someone to release and my interests are still gone

Do you still get hunger signals? Or feel hungry? What about your emotions do you still feel them

I know this may sound like a repetition, but CBDs have helped me a whole bunch when it comes to hunger. Have you tried coffee or maybe a different stimulant for getting your interest in things back? (maybe you could try an antidepressant?)
