In my case tinnitus is due to a chaos into receptors networks that means my brain not only wont go to baseline but by trying that it’s causing non-sense connections that lead to news sympthoms so I’m expecting more sympthoms that came out by time goes on instead a magical recovery after 18 months of dysfunction

I am posting this again, hoping someone would have an answer.

Almost all the symptoms i had right 1 week after invega injections, including dystonia, lack of apetite, insomnia are all back. They all went away few weeks later after injection but now it is allback. I am very scared, i dont know what this all means. Are things about to get worse? Are these withdrawals? What is going on? Are there other people who felt their old symptoms came back?

I don’t have an answer but I feel your desperation. It sucks.
 
Gonna play basketball measure where I’m physically at. Full court runs so they require some stamina and agility it isn’t a half court setting. Will update on how it goes
 
Basketball went alright. Lost both of the games I participated in but I was able to move up and down the court at my current weight(245 LBS). Lateral movement was something else I couldn’t really keep up there.

Felt a bit spaced out, but I feel that way all the time now. I’m not fully recovered yet but I’ve made great strides towards it to the point I can confidently live my life, not without concern but with a positive outlook on life once more.
 
A little tip to ease suffering. Drink tea- although caffeine is blocked other compounds like L-theanine aren’t and you can feel it slightly. Hopefully by month 5 things will get a little easier. I still feel pretty much identical to when I had the injections and hopefully it will be out of my system soon, so I can begin to heal. I was thinking of introducing an antidepressant in February if things don’t get better, but pushing the date to April. By April it will be almost 8 months off my injections and if I’m not feeling any difference from the injection by then I’ll explore an antidepressant. My suicidal thoughts are less today and I feel a little bit of hope. I just have to hold on.

I was taking L-theanine as a supplement as well as drinking heaps of tea and I felt like it helped so that’s a really good tip.
May I just suggest that if you decide to take an antidepressant you can get a prescription from a GP, you don’t have to go through mental health workers to do that, actually avoid those assholes if you can. I honestly think you’ll feel a lot better at 8 months compared to now anyway.

You may have lost those 2 games but being able to move up and down the court and feeling confident to live your life with a positive outlook is a win.
 
Before invega injections, I was a long distance runner, i was a very creative writer, i had numerous special interests, all my days were productive. My only issue in life was the trauma and abuse caused by a particular group of bullies, they had trapped me, and just wanted to destroy my life out of envy. I wanted to speak to someone about the things they did for years. Little did i know that the monster i was seeking help from wanted my destruction as well, little did i know where i was being send to. These injections acheived whatever the people who envied me and wanted my life destroyed wanted. They took away my running, my hobbies,my spirit,my personality. I dont know if if i will ever get my life back. I dont know who to speak to or what to do.

Being autistic in this illogical world is a crime.

My brain is slamming the "care about things" button really hard again and it's probably because of the mania? But I'm still acting like I don't have empathy, it's weird and bad when I have so much energy and I feel like everyone hates me.

i try to turn it into something productive. i'm no longer stopped by low motivation or energy. i enjoy mania even though the aftereffects suck.
 
i enjoyed having my feelings dampened when i think about it. i used to be pretty emotional and reactive but having them watered down felt nice. i still had the energy and motivation to go on about my day but without the drama. i think you tend to see a lot of peoples' true colours when you show little emotion or feed into them. i would care deeply all my life but when i didn't have to, i felt relief. never could with my disorders and OCD.

ARe you still plagued by low motivation, 14 months after invega? is the motivation that you had before invega back or are you just forcing yoursslf to do things?
