I don't know of anyone who has NEVER healed. Some people take longer than others, but I still haven't heard of someone with true permanent damage.

there are many who do not recover 100%, malakof for example had 2 injections, 2 years later he had no emotion, he says he recovered 50%, dirtyinvenga to pass the worst but it is not at 100%

2 years is a long time, yes, but it is still not permanent. That's what I'm saying. It can take a while but its not forever.

Suicide IS permanent.

but this poison can give us years of fierce struggle all this to earn a life without emotion perhaps, a life with consequences. my morale is at the lowest. I would like to die because if I arrive in paradise it will be much better
 
I'm worried about the physical effects like having to move, when sitting and standing, anybody had that?

I strongly do not recommend drinking on this med. I have been so depressed from anhedonia, I have been drinking a lot. I just want to make my parents proud of me. I look at myself in the mirror and can't believe my life has come to this. I want to die every day. I'm off the community treatment order but don't know what my next best plan is. I'm open to any suggestions.

I just want to die and leave this miserable existence. I'm sorry for saying this, I have a thousand people on facebook but only few I can talk to.
I'm looking for any advice people can provide.
I truly appreciate it.
Goodnight.

how many doses have you had? how long ago? I am 3 and a half months from 3 injections
 
I gotta say I feel like I haven't got it thr worse because I'm still working on invega and my current meds. Thr only issue is sexual dysfunction

This is so true Invega does cause parkinsonism and it’s definitely 100% drug induced it’s so bad. I remember not been able to stand up in the shower for at least 1 year well. 100% I agree I take Ritalin (50mg) now for my adhd. Funny enough I seen a new psychiatrist last year because I wented to see if adhd was playing a role in my recovery from invega and I told the psychiatrist about my story of been on invega and he was shocked and said I went to hell and back and that I should of never been put on antipsychotics in the first place funny that hey! I was off invega years and years with little to no improvement and stimulates is what improved me a fair bit after having no improvements for so long. The worse part I remember is that early on in the withdrawal of invega is the boredom and the feeling Suicidal all the time for ages and ages but it did go after maybe 3 or 4 months it’s insane this drug is effecting me nearly 5 years on this next month (May) will I fully recover doubtful in my eyes but you never know. :)

DirtyInvega! I’ve seen your YouTube videos on Invega, those were great! Yeah even with the stimulant I’m still having cognitive issues with motivation and learning…and still not feeling the full effect of the stimulant too. I too was misdiagnosed and put on antipsychotics which messed me up like no other drug ever has. At first, the Invega didn’t affect me, and then at 4 months boom I lost all thoughts, inner voice, suicidal, weight gain and lay in bed mostly 24 hours a day for over a year. The parkinsonism is still there but gradually going away. I can only handle the rowing and for the rest of the day my brain and body still feel like doing nothing and I’m approaching 15 months off the injections. It’s a very slow recovery but at least I can exercise. I feel that is most important since laying in a bed a whole year doing nothing is terrible for overall health. Sending you healing vibes for a full recovery mate and to everyone else.

Hey Micah, can you tell us if you had invega shots or risperdal shots? If its invega shots how many invega shots did you get? Thanks!

I had 7 Invega injections total. I’m pretty sure my dose was 78 mg for the first 5 shots and then lowered to 50 mg for the last 2. Even on the lower end of the dosage spectrum it still turned me into a complete vegetable. Sending you and everyone healing vibes. It’s a very slow recovery but it will happen.
