for how long am i supposed to wait for emotions to come back? it’s been 15 months

if you got a lot of shots it’s probably going to take a very long time

I agree with you on feeling lighter. I been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder bi polar type since 2015 (never touched drug all mentally illness ) so I have pretty much know my cycle when I am not medicate I was on and off different medication but I was under the impression that medication was to kill my mind so I would just stop taking it which lead to the find out so they medically overwrite me to take the injection invega may 2018 one of the worse medication ever .moving foward went through all what the shot did and made me feel like . Became what I thought was better the end of 2019 but this time I developed voice which I never had until I recovered from invega ..went two years unmedicated because I didn't want to go back to what invega done but it got pretty bad and I was having a baby so I went my pregnancy unmedicated and as soon as she was born I reached out for medication help and now I am doing so much better even before invega better .thank you for sharing your story . And just want to say it is crazy they gave you the injection because of depression and suicide attempt.

How long did it take you to recover your emotions? That is what I’m missing the most. From being such a deep soulful person to having that taken away is torturous.

The fact you only got two shots and you’re still not back to who you were is scary. Over two years ago too. I’m really sorry.

I’ve been having a blocked nose, restlessness pacing up and down, chest pain and a weird water feeling on throat, can’t sleep in day, barely can sleep at night, constantly pacing up and down, can’t breathe from nose without Sudafed . Ever since I took 4 shots of this at 100MG

Wondering what the choice of tapering or going cold turkey on about 2.5 years of injections. My research dictates tapering is best. But how many injections is good for going cold turkey?
