There’s many cases in the Invega Documentary where people permanently lose their ability to feel substances, along with a bandwidth of other issues. It’s about a 20% chance you don’t recover from Invega if your on bluelight.
I thought ability to feel substances comes back?
 
Its not about recovery, i want to know if 2 injections can damage the grey matter to the point where you areno longer cognitively, creatively, and memory wise where you were before the injections. I am a writer, i need a functioning brain. Right now i dont feel my cognition, memory, and creativity/ imagination is where it was before invega. I do eat a lot of fish, almonds, and eggs to prevent brain damage.
I did some searching and ai said that for studies purpose, long term use is considered 2 years or more of use. I couldnot find a set definition of whatis considered long term use. Long term use can cause tardive dyskinesia but that is seen mostly in people who have taken the drug continously for over a year.
I also dont know if the damage to brain is always there or only in some cases.
Stress, aging, depression and other things can also lower grey matter but how is that damage compared to damage caused by invega (if there is)...i dont know.
Your statement about invega making permanent changes to the dopamine structure of the brain is not true though, people generally start to feel alcohol, weed, etc after invega. Again, i dont know a case where feeling those things were permanently lost, if you know such cases,let me know.
I understand. I was a creative as well. I was a really passionate person and I really want that person back but in reality I don’t know for sure if it comes back. It hasn’t for me.
 
Feeling better today, just 3 month and one week and i already feel my brain is starting to come back. Started having classes learning a language, so i will have something to keep busy. Maybe well start doing tennis classes as well. I'm still in bed most of the time but I'm starting to feel like a human.
How many shots
 
I’m feeling so suicidal Idk what to do
I’m close to ending it all myself. This is unbearable. Every invasive thought I have is about wanting to die. It seems I’m not going to recover. I’m really close to ending it all.

It’s all day for me and the barrage of thoughts are unbearable it’s like layers and layers of pain… I can’t manage the feelings. Feels so heavy I can’t bear it. I want to die just to make it all stop

They do for most people, and some never lose them. Not losing your ability to feel substances(weed) is the best correlation to recovery we currently have at our disposal.

In plain English, if you never lose your ability to get high. You’re extremely likely to recover.
 
I just returned to my home country from UK today. My mother doesn’t address the severity of the problems I am going through because of invega. My loss of emotions or anhedonia or sexual dysfunction she addresses none of it , the shit mother she is. She is just concerned that I havent got any periods in last 7 months ( last period on April 11th) and that I gained a lot of weight (15 kgs) . She keeps on blaming and fatshaming me constantly. So, my mother is forcing me to see a gynaecologist and start some hormone medication for withdrawal bleeding and inducing period. Is that safe after invega? I am scared to even take any hormones now. @InvegaAnon did you miss periods in the beginning? When did they return? Did any female take hormones to get back period?
I got my period back in November 2023 and I became regular again over last summer. I took vaginal estrogen because my clit kept shrinking.

You should get your prolactin tested.
