Yeah I’m starting to accept it might take me closer to 1.5 to 2 years. What happens now is at 11 months, I’ll have a period of 2 to 3 days of me being like whoa ok I can feel pretty good more like almost normal and then for another 3-5 days will go back down to feeling terrible. It’s waves of up and down.

Sounds like your receptors are healing i remember the same stuff when i recovered from auto immune disease (neurological) instead of feeling like shit 24/7 it went 2-3 days good and then days feeling terrible

80 pounds from 2 injections BRO WUT?! Seriously..shit until now i gained about 20 pounds...so you're telling me this weight gain will keep going for months and months? FFS bro this whole invega ordeal is destroyed me mentally, spiritually and physically total horrorshow

I struggled with auto immune disease and chronic fatigue syndrom for many years and now this invega shit happens...life is unfair fucking shit. This whole fatigue thing is caused probably by invega because so many people complained about it especially on reddit

No I'm not saying it will, I put on 40 pounds the first 4 months then another 40 through out the year, I felt good when I put on the first 40, then when I got fat gaining another 40, feel crumby now, so if I lose another 30 I'll be fine, plus if testosterone is low from being so fat, losing weight will increase energy and testosterone. Most people on reddit have exhaustion, like shortness of breath and cant do anything, feel bad for them, i just mentally tired around lunch time. If you turn into a vegetarian and dont consume any sugar I doubt you'll gain any weight after the first 4 months

I'm also 2 points away from being in the bmi morbidity obese range. Kinda sad, but I'd rather be fat then have anhedonia in my opinion.
 
I first gained 5kg and then I lost it and again gained 5kg, Im in normal weight. Still tired 50% of time.
 
I've taken the First Loading dose of 234 mg of Invega and then the initial dose of 156 mg and life was horrible for almost 2 years, anhedonia , loss of motivation , looking at walls , no sex drive , gained weight , ate a lot and no emotions. it took me a while. I didn't think I was ever going to recover but I have , Im back 100% but I don't feel the same , im not who I was pre-invega and my creativity is limited. I also don't feel as smart as before. thank god I'm on a form of disability though because I can't work with what I have going on. I'm about. to start college soon so that's the only thing I have to keep me busy. I still feel some anhedonia but nothing as severe as what it was while I was on Invega. all in all it gets better. You Recover!

It gets better, you just need to be patient, it could also be the abilify causing your troubles, I wish I was put on abilify at first, not invega.

You can also ask your doctor to prescribe you a low dose stimulate, it's not really a long term solution but it will get your through the tough phase, just dont get addicted it will cause anhedonia.
 
Today i felt bit fine still anhedonis remains but the depression is lessened ..i dont know if it due to.wellbutrin or decreasing invega.

Are you doing any exercise? Go out for a fast-paced walk or even a slow jog, get your blood pumping and some endorphins flowing in your brain. It could help <3
 
When i was on abilify it took me around a year to recover from 1 injection. When i was on flupenexiol. It took me 6 months to recover from 1 injection. From the abilify i was bedridden just staying in my room all day not working. However i recovered from that and was living on my own for 6 months and was working fulltime at the airport. I started hearing voices again aka going into psychosis. Which led me to get onto the flupenexiol injection. I think drinking 2 times led me to my psychosis. So now.my situation sucks where im on q community treatment order and feel like shit all the time. At least when it was 1 or 2 injections i knew i could just wait out a year and feel better. But with a community treatment order there is no escape from these awful meds. My only hope is in the new med coming out called ulotaront which prolly wont be on the market until 2023 or 2024 or who knows, even 2025. So i envy you ppl with just 1 injection trying to recover from it now. Cause you know once you recover thats the end of it for you.
 
Hello everyone. Many years reading this forum but unfortunately I end up writing here. Today I received the fourth injection, 75 mg. Overall I think I'm having a little better recovery than you. Two months have passed and I do 30 minutes of light exercise in the mornings and a walk in the afternoon. I sleep well which I think is the most important thing, although every time I do it a little less because I have had drowsiness instead of insomnia. To say something new it fuck me a lot to have very low blood pressure. I get dizzy and I think it's very important for anhedonia. More or less the rest of the effects very similar to yours. It is death in life but I am very lucky with the family and it allows me to face it with a little optimism. Binaural music gives me a little pleasure, and perhaps the only decent thing we can do is deep in our spirituality in this dead time. I don't know how some of you can continue to think about drugs, we just have it forbidden. I have no intention of going through this again.

I'm just 18 and at 6months off, this shit still su*ks. I never did drugs and I am super healthy and was even more healthy before injection. Somebody who approved this drug will sufer immense karma. As I read they did tests on mices with invega and mice decided to kill themself by starvation. Also from what I read invega susutenna causes suicidality in almost everybody and it is approved, what idiot approved it. This should be considered worse than war crime.

I have also had suicidal thoughts, which I never had.

This must be approached as a test. I have been 5 years crossing the line with drugs and after this I think I am going to look with different eyes to be sober.
