I have fake schizophrenia diagnosis and i smoke weed but indeed high THC nowaday weed is too psychoactive. Those edibled and carts are 20x more psychoactive then IT should be. Use low THC weed if anything

Im glad you are good, thanks for your time and the feedback. I went through your posts looking for some info about how many injections you had, but was unable to find any.
Would you mind me asking you what type of injections you have had and how many?
Also your grammar and communication looks on a good level, which seems to me you did not get any brain damage.


Bro i would dedicate my life to this forum if i recovered from this poison. Also i would assure every single newcomer that it gets better and everything recovers…

oh I don't get any injections. Just normal antidepressant. Nothing fancy.

I am absolutely against suicide in any circumstances. As long as you are above ground things can always get better. Wen you are dead you are dead for good however.

For awile when i was n ivega then abilify i thought i would never get better. I wasent depressed but i had bad anhedonia. I think maybe thats why i did so much coke when i first got out of the psych ward. Well that and PTSD from being thrown in solitary. Thankfully i have stopped the coke and my PTSD has gotten better to the point ehere it no longer bothers me really. I think the shrooms and S-ket helped it alot.

Do you have depression or is it anhedonia from the invega? More liberal treatments for depression now such as ketamine and also psychedelics actually work. I would look into them if you have depression. If its from coming off invega i found that cannabis helped that alot. A stimulating antidepressant such as wellbutrin would also help i think.

Please dont kill yourself its not worth that. You will get better i did anyone can

i have depression anhedonia and chronic migraines/muscle related pains that got 100x worse on Invega. I also can’t smoke weed right now because it interacts with the invega ive tried and it doesn’t feel good. I used to use it medically and didn’t know it would be so affected by the injection otherwise I wouldn’t have taken Invega if I knew. But I was just desperate for change so I accepted the injection. Everything sucks so much. My life in general sucks my parents are really difficult and I have crippling anxiety and depression. None of my coping skills work cause of the Invega. There’s honestly no hope left for me. I’m fucked. Even if the Invega leaves my system the scars it leaves behind will be forever. My muscle coordination feels permanently fucked.
 
Hi,

I received about 7 shots of Invega Sustenna 150 about 6 months ago.
Since then Ive had all kinds of symptoms including full-body
stiffness, pain in my joints and muscles, brain fog, lack of libido,
etc.

What worries me the most out of these symptoms is this feeling that my
brain is either disconnected from my body or that connection has
become extremely weak. It feels as if my nerves? arent working
properly, as if there is poor transmission between my brain and body.

This is most obvious when I try to play the guitar which I have for
years. It is not the same anymore. It seems to me as if a very
fundamental process in the brain and or body has been shut down, and
honestly it feels permanent. Maybe some people call this reflexes or
imagination, its hard to describe but I am trying to be as accurate as
possible. Like I said, it feels as if either theres something wrong
with the transmission or overall charge, making it seem like the
transmission is faulty? I guess it is the ability to be spontaneous in other words.

Has anybody that experienced similar symptoms recovered the ability to
play music, and particularly improvise aka spontaneously produce music
and execute it on an instrument. Or anything similar that requires
such a mind-body connection. Has anyone regained their imagination or
their ability to play video games or sports or dance? Im also curious
about libido, I can ejaculate now but that buzzing energy is gone, not
to mention my imagination is gone so I cannot really get aroused
anymore. How many shots did you receive? How old are you? How long did
it take for you to recover? Im 38, asian male btw. It feels like I am
now an observer in my body with no imagination or ability to impose my
will on the world, in both the visual sense and the
motivational/energetic sense.

Thank you in advance. Obviously I am quite alarmed about all of this to say the least.

On invega i blew up to 225lbs and was fat as fuck. I had no muscle left after a few months on that shit. Now i am 200lbs and mostly muscle so there is hope. I was so out of shape on invega and abilify it was fucked. I thought i would never be in shape again but now im in the best shape of my life.

If your depressed i recommend talking to your doctor about it first off. Tell him the invega is doing it. They should switch you to another antipsychotic and id recommend zyprexa it works great for me with no side effects.

Just dont kill yourself ffs thats a permanent solution to a temporary problem. If you need someone to talk to feel free to pm me

My akathisia is had for 3 months felt permanent. But it did go away. Your muscles should heal as well I think once the half lives are diminished.

I smoked from morning to night and when I stopped I couldn't sleep or eat and I had a psychosis and in psychiatry there were lots of people who were there because of cannabis but I think I smoked shit, but I'm talking about the resin not the flower.

I wanted to kill myself when I was in compulsory care, but thanks to God my compulsory care was lifted and I was able to stop this poison and today 19 months after stopping I'm living my life again I'm enjoying it I feel normal don't spoil everything especially if you've had treatment for less than 6 months and you're young, you recover faster when you're young, endure and let your body and brain do the work, the brain is resilient and capable of all the human body and very strong I'm happy to have endured it has finally healed so patient you will not regret it.
 
When the half-life has elapsed, this does not mean that you will be cured. The brain will then have to readapt and heal following the change caused by the injections, but the brain repairs itself with time and courage.
