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.

There's a ton of people who had misdiagnoses who recovered. I don't have a list of links or anything, but they're out there.

The theory that this is actually permanent brain damage is nonsense I think. I don't feel lobotomized anymore, I have feelings again.

It’s exactly that “almost” that scare me. Its these 15 months without improvements that scare me..

Everybody keep saying “The brain has amazing capacity to heal”, but where? I don’t see that in 15 months..

Some people take two years to recover. I'm still not fully recovered because I got PSSD on top of invega and yes, it was exactly as bad as it sounds.

Do you feel non-sexual love or feelings towards anyone?

You also didnt mention how long your erections last if you do masturbate?

I’ve had pelvic floor issues since before my injections so you shouldn’t use my experience as a judge for your own honestly. My erections have had issues for a few years before this drug. Paranoid android says he recovered so you should listen to him.

And yes, I feel non-sexual feelings of love towards my pets and my friends but it’s not as strong as it was before
 
I had a margarita tonight. I feel it a little bit, but it’s nowhere close to how it was before.

It feels like there’s a huge boulder in my body that’s blocking any good feeling.

The term brain damage really doesent mean anything. That is unless theres some actual damage that the brain was exposed to. Invega simply fucks with your brain for awle but you will get better eventually

This is good news. You felt it a little bit is a sign of it coming back. It is a sign of recovery albeit slow.
 
I have booked myself out for the week to keep busy after getting over the flu. CBT tomorrow, a dentist appointment the day after that then a hairdresser appointment the following day after the hairdresser and then another acupuncture the day after that. Also got to figure out what I’m getting for my mum for her birthday tomorrow after I pick my son up from school today. I can’t stress this enough but keeping busy really helps. At 5 months off my motivation has somewhat improved, mind isn’t so blank when having conversations, human emotions are all there and I’m feeling quite alright to be honest… only thing that has me down a bit is how much weight I gained on invega so struggling with self image a bit.

It’s good to see you improving so quickly.
 
demileigh said:
Yeah absolutely. I don’t even like talking about it cause it’s that bad. I would one hundred percent rather be injected with invega like I was than to be in psychosis

I dont talk about it either. It was so fucking horrible. It reminded me alot of the delirium caused by dramamine which i was stupid enough to take once as a kid. The weird thing is my brother kept telling the stupid shrink to just give me a antipsychotic but she didnt want to give me any drugs. She thought my psychosis was caused by weed. She also said to my brother that i belonged in jail for my violent behavior towards mostly security guards at the psych ward and also 1 stupid doctor. So ya the person that was supposed to help me thought i belonged in prison lol.

We finally got a new shrink and he put me on invega which honestly at the time was such a relief. Fuck psychosis it was worse then invega for sure

I also had cotards syndrome which is a whole other level of fucked. Basically you think your dead. I thought the psych ward was hell or purgatory which i have to admit it kinda was at times.

What was your dosage and number of injections?

@paranoid android did you sperm improve with higher testosterone? Do you have hypogonadism? How are your energy and motivation levels now?

There was nothing wrong with my sperm production before i went on test. I did have low test and also my testicles may have shrunk abit because of the invega and abilify. Im not sure to be honest its hard to tell but i think they did shrink. My energy has improved so much since going on test. I have the energy of a teenager again its great
