It’s actually been 8 months today since my last injection, I’m 100% confident that I’ll fully recover. Appetite, creativity and imagination is back to how it was pre-invega. Life feels very normal. I was never suicidal, that was never an option cause I have a child to worry about and no amount of bullshit injections could make me selfish enough to even consider wanting to take my own life especially away from my child.
None of my symptoms are fluctuating, started taking contrave 1.5 weeks ago and I’d say the bupropion in that has improved my energy levels and motivation though it has been keeping me up at night by making it harder to fall asleep but other than that I feel great to be honest.

Have you tried any nootropics or any vitamins to boost brain health?? Pretty sure berries and nuts are good brain food too. Maybe that kind of stuff could help with memory, cognition, imagination/ creativity problems. As long as you’re sleeping fine some nights i wouldn’t worry about waking up a few times other nights, just train yourself to go back to sleep when it happens.

You are progressing very fast. I still have sexual dysfunction, appetite issues, sleep and other issues. Allmy symptoms also fluctuate. I would say i am only 50% recovered and dont know where things are headed with fluctuating symptoms. Congratulations that you are recovering though. My life was stolen from me in this horrible society i live in.
 
I don’t know why I regressed, my emotions came back after I remember I was unable to cry or be frustrated, I can’t find anyone else dealing with similar things

this feels like brain damage
 
I think I'm going to make one of the fastest recoveries here, today i feel much better 4.9 months post injection.

I started taking rimficin, an antibiotic which can reduce invega blood level 50-80 precent.

I am getting power from coffee, my stamina is coming back, i can very briefly think and share a connection with other person.

I don't feel like the hell i felt the last 8 months, i think because of the rimficin I'm feeling almost like month 6 at month 5.

Only 7 days approximately, so AI said I'm only 70-60 precent of max induction, so I'm going to feel much better, everyday and I'm already feeling quiet decently compared to how i felt before.

Even my English flow's better before i didn't even know how to articulate my self.( Still not perfect writing is not my strong suits)

what’s the dosage of the antibiotic and where did you get from? I am 2.5 months off of invega, would it work for me?

Not a doctor, and there's side effects and risk to every pill, but personally i rather take a risk on my health to reduce the invega hell.

It's hard pill to get in western countries, i had to fly over to Georgia(country not USA state) and from there you can buy it over the counter.

It's usually suppose to used to TB, I'm trying to take 600mg, that's the max effects, but that dosage is really high, i got headache when i tried taking all at once, now i take 1 in morning 2 afternoon and possibly 1 at night though I sometime skip the Fourth dosage.

I'm supposed to check blood every few weeks for potential deadly side effects of liver failure or something, but so far feeling well.

Edit though your not going to feel as good as me, because invega is still be realesing from your fat.
I think rimficin can really help from months 4 plus for sure.
Anyway even for TB, i think max dosage is 4 months. And at this dosage(such long time) i think there might be some small damage to your organs. I think I'm going to take it 1-2 months max.

Then you only get like 30 precent induction, so you wouldn't feel as good as me so fast, but it's better then nothing.

600mg is a bit extreme (strong), i think 3 pills is ideal 450mg. Imo I'ma try take the Fourth pill now hope I don't get headaches.

I will try to take it 3 times a day, I reach the 3 month next week and it will take a couple of weeks to come

I’d say count the victories. Being 50% healed 7-8 months in whatever timeframe you’re in is great. I hope that I can recover up to 50% in that timeframe. I haven’t noticed any signs of recovery.
 
My visual imagination has continued to improve and it's almost normal. This is a massive relief for an artist who knows how to draw from imagination.

At 7 months passed, i noticed few improvements, mainly in energy and hints of my old personality coming back. But i am fluctuating in terms of symptoms and some issues have not resolved, still have complete sexual dysfunction, no motivation, sleep disturbances, apetite out of control. Some things from early months of invega came back like akithisia and apetite out of control. So i dont know what percentage to assign my recovery at. Maybe 30% to 40%.

But i can tell you this, noticing a little bit of recovery does motivate you to wait longer. I am hoping you willstart to notice improvements by month 6 to 12 and that will keep you going.
 
It's been 113 days since my last injection and I feel a lot better. Still a long way to go but i've improved a lot. My head feels lighter and clearer. I'm enjoying music more and I think my anhedonia is starting to lift.

I hope I make a full recovery, I have recovered twice before from antipsychotics including invega so my brain knows what to do, fingers crossed. This is my third time going through the hell of these drugs.
 
I am going to try weed later day, if I can get high then maybe it means I will have a high chance of recovery

You didn’t notice any change at 4.5 months right?
