I haven’t recovered but had my first window a few weeks ago at 5 months. The anhedonia is now at a less intense level, exactly as you described. First sign for me was laughing, like a real laugh. And genuine smiles.
Thanks. How long did your window last? I had a couple of windows before this one and they lasted hours. However, this one lasted two weeks (during this time I had still experienced brain fog, memory issue, cognitive issue but no anhedonia) so I thought it was going away for good. But then it came back, albeit on a less intense level.

FYI, in my case, I only had windows for anhedonia and akathisia, the brain fog and cognitive/memory issues are very persistent.

The window was a few days. I’m still very anhedonic though.

How long has it been since your last injection?

My akathisia resolved completely in the first few months.

Cognitive/memory issues are persistent for me too. Brain fog is gradually improving. Same with energy levels.

I think the next step in recovery will be to start exercising.

2 months now since last injection. I had 1 dose of 100 mg. My akathisia is gone as well. It was terrible in the first month off, I had to pace around for hours and couldn't sit still for more than 10 seconds.

I also try to exercise everyday as it boost BDNF levels, which relieve symptoms.

That’s great that you’re seeing results so early. Exercise certainly helps. Lack of motivation due to the anhedonia has been the reason I haven’t yet started running, but I may try again soon.
 
Anybody has a good exprience doing weed and SJW together and recovered? I feel like weed can make you recover faster by stimulating the open D2 receptors

I think having taken only 1 dose at a relatively low concentration probably helped. Right now, I'm still having to deal with the cognitive and memory issue: can't string coherent sentences together like I used to, can't connect ideas very well, issues with both long and short-term memory, heavy feeling in my forehead area that won't go away (clouded brain fog),... However, I'm grateful that anhedonia is less intense now, and only comes in waves instead of being persistent like before.

This website probably helped with the recovery process, having read testimonies from people who have recovered brings huge relief. I think I read almost 100 pages of messages from the V2 thread, some of the testimonies there are quite reassuring.
 
In Australia the loading doses are similar to Canada ...150mg + 100mg. I saw plenty of recovery stories from USA even with 3 to 4 injections but that is still less than the loading doses you get in Canada. For example @Invegatorture got a dose of 100mg and 150mg. This is actually less than 200mg of effective paliperidone. @silenthill got 234mg, this is equal to 150mg of effective paliperidone. Even @demileigh who got 4 injections...150mg, 75mg, 75mg, 75mg equals less than 200mg of effective paliperidone. Almost all the people i have seen who recovered in 6 to 9 months had less than 200mg of effective paliperidone. Would like if someone pointed out recovery stories of people with higher doses. Would like to see recovery stories of people with just loading doses from Australia.
Invega torture is from the same country as me, he had same amount of loading doses
 
@Trueart2 does invega cause gum recession? I saw someone say their gums receded but I am not sure if that might be their hygiene
It’s a chain effect: This poison left you agonizing and you cannot anymore take proper care of yourself (shower, brush teeth, etc) in the long term this will lead to teeth issue and even gum inflamation or recession..

It’s always a chain effect, but they (psychiatry) onli consider the benefits of blocking receptors without considering side effects and chain effects due to side effects.

In my case, they don’t even considered i had lungs surgery back in 2019, so maybe giving me a poison that block my response to cigarets is not a good idea because i Will increase the amount of cigarets per day (maybe 2x or even 3x) and this will lead to more lungs issue in the long term.

This is also a “chain effect”.

Insomnia caused by this poison don’t let the body repair and regenerate properly, so if you have injury (like broking a bone) after you took that poison that compromised your sleep, then that bone won’t recover because you have not more access to your deep and restorative sleep. (Like it’s happened to me)

This is also a “chain effect”.
