some other symptoms included near-complete loss of hunger, hair falling out (which got better with a certain med and i was able to keep my long hair), intense nausea and car sickness (even a twenty minute car ride made me vomit everywhere and a lot of the time i would wake up at like five am throwing up; this went on for a very long time), blurry vision, this weird lumpy throat feeling where i felt i had to clear my throat every five seconds, heart palpitations and muscle spasms, waking up too early in the morning and barely getting any hours in, brutal anhedonia.
 
Do you have a baseline of what your testosterone was pre-injections? My testosterone checked last month was half of what it was pre-injections. I’ll probably check again in another month or two.
I dont have a baseline of what it was before invega.
 
I was measuring myself using the US standards till now. @Invegatorture dosage of 100mg and 150mg is only equivalent to 175mg total in Canadian standard... all the recovery stories i saw were following the US standard... @silenthill only got 150mg total by Canadian standard...most of the recovery stories i saw who recovered in 6 to 12 months were people who got only 2 to 3 shots but that was according to US standards. What does thismean for recovery?

when I touch my hair, pieces come out, was this the same for you or hair just kept falling? I got the injection at 20 years old and I am 21 now, I hope this means fast recovery for me

hair just keep falling out. my shower drain would get clogged with the amount that fell. i have wavy long hair so it was a lot. minoxidil seemed to help.
 
What do that mean? I will never recover?

I’m not adequately prepared to be the bearer of bad news. But statistically your injection half life was 6 days. Multiply it by 5 and it’s supposed to be cleared from your system. Generally, you were supposed to be done and recovered by 3-4 months as your injection has an extremely lower amount of time compared to Invega.
 
it did, at the beginning. when my recovery first began, weed gave me intense panic attacks that i never previously had. the anxiety from invega overall was so bad i had to move in with my sibling and sleep in the same room as them or i'd go into panic. if i was left home alone for a period of time i would also go into panic. it was horrifying. i was malnourished and my legs were severely bruised-like. weed i had to quit for like four or five months. caffeine i've never had before. nicotine, never had either. alcohol, i don't know since i've never drank alcohol before, i got invega when i was 19.
Are you saying Vyvanse didn’t work after the injections at first? If so, for how long?

If Vyvanse still worked for you, you didn’t have substance blockage. I’ve taken Vyvanse for over a decade and it stopped working after the injections, so I’m trying to understand how long substance blockage lasts.

I’m not questioning that Invega caused all these terrible symptoms for you, but weed causing panic attacks is very different than having no response to weed. Those with substance blockage have no response to substances.

Half-life are a scam in order to sell more and make more money. I saw a lot of people saying They don’t recovered after 1 year off risperdal injections and some also says that it’s impossible to recover from risperdal

Recovery could be unrelated to half life if epigenetic changes need to reverse and the central nervous system needs to come back online. The drug leaving your bloodstream is only the first step. Recovery from Risperal Consta could take close to as long as recovery from Invega.

So.. How much? Because i’am at 16 months and 2 week..
 
I’m not sure, but I’m reading old versions of this thread (currently on v2) and have seen reports of 2-3 years.

Didn’t you recently mention experiencing some first signs of improvement?
I hat a little lifting into the alteration of the consciousness back at 8 months and another one back at 15.5months but tinnitus came out at 13 months and i’am experiencing a decline into cognitive faculties and memory in the last weeks

i didn't have a complete substance blockage, no. a lot of people here have reported not being able to feel substances, and there are a lot who reported being able to. there are some people here that suggest weed for recovery lol. i have never had panic attacks over weed until after invega, and they went away after a few months. regardless, i'm pretty young and only had one injection.
