But how bad was he? Here there are people that complain of some slight anhedonia while they are working. I can literally do nothing. I can't do nothing for 3 years

Youre going to have to do something if you want recovery. Thats just how it is.

Reading the forums is sometbing but you need walks, exercize, supplementation

Thats how it was for me as well. Its annoying to hear but you need more time. 4 more months and youll be a different person.

I know you dont have money but you should try and get some tea if you can. If nothing else drink lots of tea for the new few months.

I cant really give my opinion on most of things listed because either I didnt have those problems or they went away in early recovery but the anhedonia and loss of emotions stuck for at least a year so I can speak on that, anhedonia and loss of emotions are tough to deal with, over time you will either recover them or adapt to not having emotions and living with anhedonia, first year of recovery I never lost my negative emotions, they just weren't as intense as before the injection, you will not wake up overnight and be healed it dosent work like that, you gain a little back each day etc - some dont, but for me I'd have improvements every month with the emotions and anhedonia, it took around 14 months for me to be able to experience happiness - joy and no anhedonia, even that long to have a true long cry, I was able to cry before that mark but it just felt empty, if you're able to feel any emotions that's a good sign, if you can feel boredom that's a good sign your anhedonia is going away, the first year of recovery when I would do something i enjoyed it wasn't boredom or fun, it was just nothing, like a emptiness, its hard to explain to someone unless they experience it themselves. Now I can enjoy things and actually feel boredom and happiness with things, not just this empty ass feeling all the time.

Can I get your YouTube channel? I’ll subscribe and show support
 
Invega lasts in your system for thirty to forty days so do you count from when that’s up? Or the last time you got injected?
 
I need opinion of people who took 6 shots. When did they feel recovery. I'm truly bad lying in bed all day without being able to do a thing. I need to know how long I have to be jobless

I think this sub should be about recovery stories, side effects and information rather then a bunch of useless posts about contacting Johnson’s and stuff. This forum gets so far off tracks. It’s annoying.

Thing is, when ppl get over invega the last thing they wanna do is read these kinda posts but trust me, u do go back to normal. Just be patient.
 
Till shot 4 I could still sleep a bit but then nothing and now I'm dependent on sleeping pills. My psychiatrist denies any connection of my sudden insomnia to invenga. I'm living the worse imaginable nightmare

Chamomile makes you sleepy, it might make you feel less like getting up and doing stuff.

I agree but this invega is insane the effects it has on the body and mind it’s incredible to be honest I didn’t think back in 2017 when I refused to take anymore invega and stopped seeing the psychiatrist I would be still suffering from this “poison” nearly 5 years later I do think I have come a long way since then but damnnn man I cannot get my head around why I’m still not fully recovered but I’m still hopeful one day things will change but into then I just “keep on doing what I am doing” and looking after my son. :) it’s funny I met a person years and years ago who lost a leg because of a shark attack and he was depressed for years and years hoping he leg would magically grow back and wish he didn’t go into the water. But one day he realised he’s leg wasn’t going to grow back and that he had to accept that the leg was gone forever and he did in the end and got a prosthetic leg and he finally realised he pretty much could enjoy life just like before with he’s new leg.
 
Id rather lose an arm or leg then be on this shit. When your on this shit you lose sll your emotions and inner dialogue. It feels like it takes your soul away. Ive so far taken 12 shots of flupenexiol and nownim going to be forced to tske seroquel pills. My family wants md to be on meds for life since i hsve schxiophrenia and everytime i come off i end up hearing voices. These meds make the voices go away but it also makes me feel like shit. Id rather be hearing voices then be on these meds sincd i still hsve my personality when im hearing voices. I still hsve energy to do stuff. These meds just zap all your energy away.
