one injection, 234 mg. then i was placed on risperidone shortly after. ap-free since december 2024. nowadays i'm in the best shape i've ever been, feelings of excitement and affection are there. motivation as well. can feel substances but i quit a few weeks ago. i've heard being younger can help in some way, i am twenty.

I am 44, i hope i can recover as quick. When did you feel like you were recovering? After 6 months or later?

I know one guy 27 yrs old. He had 8 injections. He says he is fully recovered after 12 months. He does say that smoking weed helped him feel better during recovery and he smoked everyday, although i wouldnt recommend it because i dont know how it will affect others.

If I smoke weed, I’ll be thrown straight into psychosis. Unfortunately I’m sensitive to weed. I think the hard pill to swallow is that we’re going to have to wait a long time before any type of recovery. I’m hoping by month 4 I’ll be partially recovered making it easier to wait. As of now it’s difficult waiting while feeling the effects of invega.

insomnia from these injections is one of the worst side effects. I hope you can rest up.

I actually can sleep on abilify. But because I never feel tired my sleep schedule has slowly gotten worse and worse. The restlessness makes it hard to fall asleep initially, once I fall asleep i’m good.

Have you got insomnia? I can’t remember if you said (my memory is bad on these meds)

I did have, Invega didn’t have a sedating effect on me. I now take olanzapine (zyprexia) and I sleep. Most who have taken invega tend to get a a sedating effect from it- meaning, they can at least rest. Not here- I have akathisia. I’m hoping this will ease as the medication leaves my body.

Invega didn’t sedate me either. Had the worst restlessness of my entire life and severe akathisia. Almost total insomnia too. It was hell.

I think @IOSIP said his akathisia got better 3 months off injections.

Do you have any side effects from zyprexa?

No I don’t. It agrees with me. I’ll ease off it eventually when invega leaves my system.

You would understand what I’m going through since we had the same side effects.

I hope for the love of god it leaves by three months it goes. I do take medication for it now proponadol, but it doesn’t do shit.

I will consider myself 50% recovered as soon as akathisia goes. I can’t focus on anything as of now because of it.

I was also given that beta blocker. It did nothing for me and my psychiatrist was very surprised by that.
 
Quran 8:29 states that if believers fear Allah, He will grant them a criterion (Furqan), remove their evil deeds and sins, and forgive them
 
Some weeks ago i joined the boat trying to share motivation because I saw some people was into a critical moment, like brokenself, i try to share hope because I saw that coming..

The fact I’m the one who need hope because i’am 14 months since mi last shot and I’m far away to baseline, and i feel it permanent. I don’t want to bring negativity or suicide ideation, and fort that I would apologize.

I just had panic attacks, I asked for help, they put me into psych ward and they forced me into these injections just to let me out the psych ward, this is not fair..

From a normal life with panic attacks to a brain damaged life for the last 14 months is not easy to process.
