I have spoken to a person who said she healed in 5 months and another person who said he healed in 2 years. The invega doc shows a range of 8 to 12 months only according to @Trueart2

Yes that’s the average, healing in five months and healing at 18 months are an exception to the rule. I assume he did a calculation to find the average medium.

There’s no magic answer. People heal at different rates.

I know it’s early days for me but for me to feel exactly the same since my last injection- I’m assuming I’m going to have a longer than average recovery.
 
A person told me that for people about to heal month 4 to 6 are the hardest. And i think it might be the case for people with higher doses have their hhardest months before recovery. For people who have recovered, when were your hardest months? Was the month prior to recovery the hardest?

Might be true in your case. It’s difficult to know with Invega, as everybody metabolises it differently. Some heal in a couple of months like @drmorphine. But for most of us- we are subjugated to a long wait. Keep holding on, you may get a breakthrough soon.

My question is what month did you first see signs of early recovery. Not a complete recovery but when did the process start with you.
 
This drug has taken more than my mind. It’s taken opportunity and passion away from me. My point of view is gone. I don’t care about anything anymore.

Even if I recover, what do I even want from life? I’m 28 years old and I have no money and no degree. I have parents who I hate and no friends.

My first 2 months were steady than motivation declined in month 3 and month 4 is worse except i have some moments early in the morning where i have some energy.....but things have got worse for me. The ones who didnt recover also say things got worse for them slowly.

Somehow im skeptical of dtmorphines story. I wish he could share his dosages and number of injections. There are people with actual pschizophrenia that didnt mind being on the injection nor suffer as much.

It kind of makes sense that by month 4 as your levels should he lower. That change of levels of invega in your system has maybe caused withdrawals. I don’t know though, I would assume lower levels means better mood but maybe it doesn’t.

I think it’s just a long waiting game.

Are you going for daily walks and watching what you eat?

I am keeping myself physically engaged but eating excessively, hunger levels are through the roof.

This thing about withdrawals, does withdrawals means having the worst version of whatever you went through? I wish someone who recovered would answer if things were worse for them before recovery, that would answer the withdrawal question.

A good person to ask is @Invegatorture
I do know from what he told me, that he suffered all the way up to the sixth month then he started to heal.

You will recover don’t stress. You only got 250mg of Invega. You will definitely be ok

It seems unlikely at this point i will be able to run long distance again or be the imaginative writer creator i was before invega or gain sexual function back.

You on the other hand may be at the brink of recovery around month 12

Tbf you can change all that. At a moments notice you can make friends, that will support, like, and enjoy your presence and be grateful for you in their lives. You can go to college and get a degree as well
