Well i got switched to abilify after 3 months on invega and the abilify was just as bad as invega. However when i got off the abilify injectons it came back after 3 or 4 months and i would say fully at the 5 month mark

But i had basically a 2 year plus peroid where i didnt get one hard on. Fuck invega and ablify they may be better then psychosis but thats about it

I never understood your dosage or recovery. From what i understand you had 2 injections of invega and recovered in 9 months...

No i had 3 months worth of invega injections and 18 plus months worth of abilify injections. Abilify sucked as much as invega imo. Fucking absolute sht.

I recovered fully after about a year. I think i would have recovered much faster f i had not been on latuda which gave me horrible akathisia

If it gives you any hope, I also had numb genitals and I'm finally starting to get feeling back. It's like I can feel again, but not enough to orgasm through touch or sex, just vibrators.

When i had erectile dysfunction from invega and abilify i didnt think i would ever have a erection again. I went atleast 2 years without ne. However when i went off the ablify injections my sex drive started to come back after 3 months. It was the first thing to come back actually

Now that im on testosterone replacement therapy i have the sex drive of a 18 year old. I would recommend any guys who have taken invega or abilify to get their test levels checked. Pretty sure they are responsible for tanking mine.
 
Managed to have an erection for 15 minutes after no sexual action for days...dont know if this is a sign of recovery or just a temporary thing.

Yeah, I didn’t get in legal trouble but I was a risk to myself and the public in their view. I was seriously in a psychosis, but it was drug induced. I’m embarrassed about the crazy stuff I believed in, but hey that’s what happens if you play around with coke.

Akathisia is a medical emergency and should be treated asap. Usually treated with benztropine and benzos i think. I had akathisia and since the emergency rooms here are useless i treated it myself with morphine and clonazepam. Please note i am not endorsing people use morphine im just telling my own experience. Anyway we called a ambulance when i had bad akathisia but by the time they got here the morphine and clonazepam had calmed me down. I told the medics what had taken and they said if it worked it worked.

The ER was less then useless though. They just gave me no meds at all and said it was probably just a panic attack. But i had treated it long before i arrived at the hospital anyway

But think tyou should tell your doctor you have akathisia asap. You cant be expected to just live like that. I had bad akathisia from the latuda and it was hell

I’m almost at month 2 on being off the injections. Hopefully by at least month 4 my akathisia will ease and I can wait a long time for anhedonia to heal on up.

I was scheduled for 12 ceased at 6. A year of this would have killed me. There is at least some hope now.
 
You guys think we can heal ourselves by giving ourselves a psychosis, some people seem to get psychosis after they heal. Maybe this can work

Anything is better than this,anything. I' just wondering if it would work because sometimes people get psychosis after they recovered

No psychosis is far far worse imo. I would rather take any antipsychotic over that shit. I also had cotards syndrome which was literally terrifying. I would rather take invega anyday over that shit. Also being psychotic wouldnt exactly be recovering imo. Psychosis is one of the reasons i have PTSD now. Granted its gotten alot better lately cause of shrooms and S ketamine i had last year

I recovered fully from invega and abilify and i havent had any psychosis since i was in the psych ward 6 years ago. Thank fuck for that. I dont get any side effects from zyprexa at all
 
I cant even remember my psychosis. It felt like being on a deliriant to me. It was by far the worst time in my life fuck that shit
 
It seems to me that people who actually had psychosis and got treated with antipsychotics injections are more likely to full recover, since their brain produces way more dopamine it’s more easy and fast for them to go back to their baseline.

Instead people like me who got misdiagnosed and just damaged with antipsychotics injection usually don’t recover, because their brain was not producing more dopamine as the norm and they cant compensate the damage done by these injections.

From What I see here, only people who truly had psychosis and then got injected, make a full recovery, or i’am wrong?

I spoke with a reddit user today, he is 30 months after only one injection and still have sympthoms and only partially recovered some sympthoms, he was misdiagnosed, he never had psychosis.

So it’s seem that the only thing that can assure your recovery is if you had psychosis, then you will recover, if you got misdiagnosed it’s seem that there is no way back.

Prove me wrong.

Psychosis almost caused me to end my life… under no circumstances do you want it like my previous message in this thread said things like psychosis can alter your brain permanently and can have lasting effects on you even after you snap out of it

Psychosis is by far the worst thing i have been through. That was traumatic as all fuck lol. Accordng to my family i kept switching from being agitated to being completely catatonic for days. I also had cotards syndrome which is a literal hell on earth. I thought i had dead and was in hell or purgatory i forget which.. I dont think i will ever get over that sht

I’m like everyone else here, I was hospitalized for a long time, and one of the conditions to leave was to take invega pills or a shot which I picked the shot.
But one of the other conditions I had for being released was to be placed in a partial hospitalization program for another 6 weeks and I am telling you the only thing you can do to make it better is to force yourself to do something literally anything besides thinking about how you got injected all day. Once I found out about all the side effects of invega I was furious that they didn’t explain it all to me, but I can just stop taking a shot vs being led to do dangerous things because of delusions.
I was able to stop taking the shot because my doctor said I personally don’t need to be taking a lai and mine weren’t court ordered like some thankfully, but my therapist did explain the reason why they put you on for a year is because during the first year after you have psychosis you have a higher change of relapsing, so the medication is supposed to prevent that from happening
It’s terrible that in order to get rid of one thing you have to suffer through the side effects. But right after my program I managed to get a new job and ever since I focused less and less on the shots. The program also helped with that as we spent the entire day doing different types of therapy. The shots are a dark point in my life but now they’re by no means the end of it or the worst of it

I only had temporary psychosis as well but i dont want to risk relapsing so i take zyprexa. I dont get any side effects. Also i dont want to risk the cotards syndrome coming back.

Did you have any trauma from the psych ward? Staying there gave me fucking PTSD for gods sakes
 
@Kiaf852 Healed.
Recovery Story
Had two loading injections.
Healing process took 17 months.
I give credit to prayer and God. This experience just increased my faith in God more. While recovering from Invega my 16 year old daughter at that time had freedom that she never had. She started hanging out. She stayed out over night. She wouldn’t listen to me. I was so messed up that I couldn’t discipline her correctly. She really didn’t want to be around me. One night I had a dream. Her deceased grandmother said that Jasmine is pregnant. I was having multiple dreams about my daughter. Her deceased father was in some of them too. Finally my daughter came home. I questioned her about being pregnant. I take some of my dreams seriously. She denied it. I had a test for her to take. She convinced me not to give it to her. I kinda broke my own rule and dismissed my dream, as just a dream. Well turns out she was pregnant. I found out before she even knew about the baby. My grand daughter will be three months in a few weeks. They give some of us antipsychotics because we are intuitive. We are sensitive. Sometimes a psychosis is something much deeper than any human being could ever understand. My grand daughter would be the final piece of the healing puzzle for me. Her arrival allowed me to heal completely. I prayed like never before. I was upset that she would arrive and I wouldn’t be able to feel anything. With her arrival came back love joy excitement and happiness for me. My belief in God is so deep. I’ve seen too much. A week before my grand daughter was born I woke up to her great grandma standing at the foot of my bed. The same person who mentioned my daughters pregnancy. She said nothing to me. She held her hands outwards towards me holding two gold rings. I still don’t know what it means. I attach the jewelry to gifts. She is giving me something. My grand daughter was born a year and one day to the anniversary of her funeral. When I say pray about this situation. I do mean it. You want assistance with healing pray with intention. God is so real. Nothing in this life is too big for him. Invega taught me something. They can inject us. They can lock us in facilities. They can block certain receptors in our brains. They can’t take our God given gifts from us. Grief pushed me into what they call a psychosis. I know so much different. I was born five months early. I am so sensitive to things that no man on this earth can explain. I had no faith after Invega. When I say pray. You have to pray your way through this battle. Sometimes I feel like I had to go through this to encourage and help other people. I am honored to do it. Now that Bojana has lost her life. I have to try and save as many people as I possibly can. I was in that mental hospital seeing and hearing all kinds of things. I was in and out of consciousness at times. When I came out of it I was in there speaking to the people about GOD and being grateful.
I was no harm to myself or no one. They could’ve gave me some sleeping pills and left me alone. I’m glad they gave me that Invega now that I’ve crossed the finish line. I was able to see how wicked this world really is. I’ve been able to help so many people push through this experience. You want healing? Ask for it. Pray for it. Thank God in advance for it. You all have every right to be free. I could tell you all a thousand stories about different things. What helped me is time. What helped me is praying without ceasing. I would drive to work and pray. I made a habit out of it. Focus on the good things in your life. Log off this site for a while if you have to do it.
You can’t complain and constantly think about the negative experiences associated with this medication and heal too. Raise your vibration by taking in positive experiences. Focus on something beneficial to your well-being. Pour love into yourself. Write in a gratitude journal. Give love even if you can’t feel it. I believe that we all can heal from this. The brain is so powerful. Nothing is impossible for none of us. I was enlightened by this whole experience. We search for everything outside ourselves. The healing starts first within your own mind. Just a few months ago I was still searching for answers. I have healed completely. I only come back to constantly remind you all that you can too. I don’t care how many injections they’ve given you. I have to pinch myself sometimes to see if I’m dreaming. I feel like I’ve been born again. I have a second chance at living.
