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.
