THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I GOT PSSD, WHEN I TOOK IT WHEN I WAS STILL BEING EFFECTED BY INVEGA. DO NOT TAKE PROZAC. TRY ST. JOHN'S WORT.

Good, do not continue. You don't have PSSD, you have side effects from a drug that is effecting your brain and will do so for up to two years, but likely one year. Do not try another SSRI, I'm lucky I survived the hell I went through. If you think you can't go lower than invega side effects, you are wrong. I'm still not the same, but I remain optimistic about my return to true form since I'm almost there.

Are you still same in terms of invega side effects even after two years or you only have pssd? Because if i think that way that i have to wait for 2 years to recover from invega i eventually gonna finish my self since i cant wait for 2 years to get fixed

So basically they gave us a drug for which there is no technology to observe how it affects the brain, so we cannot objectify the symptoms that this drug has caused us, so we cannot receive any specialist medical support to heal the injury suffered.

18.5 months after last injection, still suffering.

Risperdalconsta tell the doctor to give you dopamine agonists and stimulants since antidepressants are not working

Hey mate, please try to find the strength to make it through. This isn't forever. Have you tried anything to help you sleep? The insomnia is horrible. How many months has it been for you? It may seem like forever and like you can't make it through but you can do it. you just have to make it through today and you keep doing that then those todays will add up to the weeks/months until you've recovered from the harm that was done to you. Make it through today. One today this will all be behind you. One today things will be good again.

5 months and still dealing with all the problems, i cant stand it anymore since nothing is not going to be better, its just time passes and nothing is gonna change

I think it just take time to recover. Time passes and things do change. You got 2 doses 5 months ago? so if it might be close to getting better. Maybe antihistamines or benzos could help you with sleep short term & make things a bit easier for you.

The thing is they lobotomize us and change our brain instruction for ever and even after a year im pretty sure we stay same look at mona she is still struggling after almost one year and has no signs of improvement, another 1.5 years, another 7 months and time just passes and nobody gets healed

Almost all people who recovered said they used to feel like they will never recover and everything will remain the same, but they are glad they held on and recovered. I myself feel that i may never revovety but seeing recovery stories, i have hope and my rational brain (blunted due to invega) keeps shouting from afar to hold on to hope. You need to realize that invega disrupts executive functioning.

also one more thing. finally found this user and he is one of my recovery inspirations

“Back in October 2023, 7 months ago. I was forced to take Invega Sustenna 256+154 mg injection. I now know that I was misdiagnosed and poorly treated at the hospital I was at. I had about every negative side effect in the book directly after injection. I was suicidal 24/7. I thought about giving up every single day. Physically fatigued, sleeping 12-16 hours a day, no sex drive, ED, infertile, no ejaculation. Insane brain fog, no imagination, hard to concentrate, no motivation, no emotions! couldn’t workout, gained 15lbs, digestion all messed up, couldn’t enjoy anything. Etc you get the point.

Since then, what a turn around. All of those side effects are gone. I don’t even think about Invega Sustenna anymore. Last week I ran a half marathon after training for a month. I’m in better physical shape now than ever. I workout almost twice everyday during the week. I’m motivated to accomplish goals, I can socialize and laugh and enjoy things now! I lost 11lbs went from 193lbs-182lbs since January. Sexual side effects are gone, (libido isn’t as high as used to be) but better! Brain fog finally went away. Sleep went back to normal. No longer suicidal. I’m strong, in the gym, working and going to college soon to become a firefighter.

Whoever is reading this, don’t be afraid to reach out. My dms are open. This didn’t happen overnight. I was destroyed and never thought I could improve. It felt like forever. It wasn’t until February where I started seeing improvements. But as the weeks and months go on I start to feel even better. I was in a very dark place. My hope is to save someone from that dark place that I once was in. It may feel like you’re stuck but trust me keep going and let time heal you. God bless.”

I am curious to know when did this person start to feel his emotions and motivation come back? Did exercising twice a day after 7 months make his journey easier? He does mention that he felt better after weeks and months went by.

I recovered from 2 shots of invega. My life would be good right now if I didn't go back into psychosis due to abusing psychedelics. When I was recovered from invega I felt stronger, happier and more fulfilled than I did before the shots.

When you say recover in terms of everything or just feeling weed?

Did you start to feel emotions like love, empathy, motivation much later after 9months? What percentage did you feel recovered at 7 months? ...were you still missing a lot of things from your personality at 7 months?
