I feel the same too.I have been brain dead for 4 months after 3 injections of paliperidone, I can't do anything anymore and I'm always in bed.

How do you guys manage the day with anhedonia? You can't work, nothing pleasures you. What's the point actually (sorry if I sounds so pessimistic). Also my dreams have been altered. It really causes me ptsd.

Almost no one you knows have been through this. You really wonder... What if I was back to normal again? You look at the momenta pre-invega where you were happy,etc

In what way your dreams are altered? What do you mean? Me I dream in a strange way I can’t visualize anything in the dream and understand what’s happening and I don’t see myself and the others in the dream
 
hey guys i just got off my community treatment order today, my doctor still wants me to come in for injections once a month but i plan to switch to seroquel as it didnt give me side effects when i took it in the hospital. so lets hope for the best here.

Hello...im definitetly better than last month ,now im off about 7 and half months still have a mild depression and anhendonia but like i said its better than last month ,well i can say my condition is improving i think the breaking point is 7 month ,you need to wait a little bit more and you will suffer less ...how many shots did you got?
Click to expand...
That gives me hope and I got the initial 2 doses. I have been exercising for 2 months consecutively and it doesn’t help as much. I lift weights and speed walk on the treadmill for a mile but since I took the medicine it’s hard for me to really run or jog for long, I’m just trying to get my body back in shape because I kind of got a bulk going from the shots. Regarding my feelings currently while It’s been 6 going on 7 months in a few more days; I have a continuous compelling feeling making me impaired but before the medication I was very athletic with a nice iq and in great shape but I haven’t given up all hope

Got hit by high sex drive or libido also have symptoms which look like psychosis. Everytime i get some improvement on the physical area i also get hit by psychosis in a certain degree (withdrawals). Smoked some weed at night and in the morning I was meditating on music with crystals, juicing raw vegetables and mindfull eating eating and suddenly i noticed it got hit by an insane drive to masturbate. Looks like a rebound effect from invega. Also had rebound psychosis when i got out of the hospital 2nd time from haldol injections this invega withdrawal feels very similar

I don't even care about sex drive i rather have rock bottom abysmal sex drive and my emotions/heart chakra/soul back. I don't like to masturbate and its still boring AF. Invega also totally destroys your ability to recover from exercise i never before had muscle ache from light cycling on my bike. Also experiencing improvement in memory no interest in reading but i can if i need to... before from month one to three i had no recollection of what happened last year. IQ is still lowered

Emotions are still gone no improvement. The weather sucks its constantly cloudy or raining i have almost no motivation to go outside. Would be nice if good spring weather hits no wind, higher temps and more sun

I'm spending money like a mofo on food, crystals, bike, drugs and crap i absolutely don't need...absolutely chasing dopamine with obsessive buying and eating

Crystals which seem to work best for me are citrine quartz, ruby in fuchsite, ametrine, rutilated quartz, orange calcite/green calcite and moonstone/black moonstone. Ametrine defo nr 1 along with rutilated quartz

Yea I had been hospitalized because I had an episode of psychosis and I had one a couple months prior. Last time I took the risperidone pills but got off of it because I didn’t like how it made me feel. This time when they put me on the invega injection I only consented due to wanting to leave to get back to my job and life. I was fine a week or few after but gradually became weaker and started developing severe headaches to which I couldn’t bare. As I said it’s been 6 months and I still have a anhedonia, fatigue, confusion, memory loss, numbness, loss of sensitivity; empathy, shortness of breath, and tardive dyskinesia

When this insomnia shit improves, Im 7.5 months off and suddenly insomnia started hitting me, I NEVER had insomnia like this before invega, this insomnia makes you awake whole night or I sleep 1h-3h. Before 1 month it was not like this. This insomnia might mean dopamine receptors kicking in cuz Im feeling more wakefull and full of energy.

This is definitely a good sign I’m at 6.5 months and I have a hard time waking up this could mean your gaining more energy.

Hi everyone, I’m 6 months off now but I still can’t feel anything at all, no emotions, no feelings, no sensations, no sense of time and space, it’s a real nightmare everyday. I dream in a strange way and I can’t even perceive people, their character, what they feel, how they are. I have 0 personality and life has no meaning for me anymore, I also feel stupid as I can’t even read a book or understand tv. I would like to die it’s not a normal life, what I’m living for?

I feel the same way and it’s been the same duration of me being off the medication as well. I heard it gets better but in our cases we have to wait and see ourselves, I try to take supplements to boost my neurons and exercise and stay away from negative influences.

Yesterday suffered from psychosis. Seem to have another kundalini thing going giving me some euphoria and manic behaviour so much energy didn't know what to do with it, grinding teeth for hours no sleep. It seems to skip the heart chakra creating(restlessness) disturbing behaviour/degeneracy and occassionally delerium. Sometimes energy does align other times it doesn't. Invega is also causing rebound psychosis during withdrawal and hormonal rebound i have to deal with extremely high levels of sexual arousment. Trying to fight urges and not watching porn

Most time of the day i meditate and go to places but the weather sucked really bad couldn't go anywhere sitting at home with this energy sucks so much purely neurotic.

Thinking about going on vacation

Sound like the medicine is making you agitated and irritable and anxious to feel like you did before. I think a vacation would be nice

I used to have vivid dreams and be optimistic about all aspects of perspective but now it seems like everything is bland. My dreams don’t often make sense and everything is no longer entertaining in the way it should be when I try to go to my good place I can’t find it because I feel the medication being heavy and overpowering my stability of emotions. I feel like I’m without a conscious/soul

Yes me too
 
@Masterp423 Do you mean you only got the loading doses or 2 shots after the loading doses? Could you feel the effects of coffee again? Did you feel your emotions again as good as before or almost as good? Did your sleep go back to normal?

2 shots after the loading doses. And I didn’t really drink coffee back then but I could get drunk and get a buzz off of nicotine about 3 months after my last shot. And yes my sleep was fine after about 2-3 months
 
@baraxil How did it come back to you was it in waves slowly or did you just one day realise you could feel emotions again? So you have insomnia now being off it? Do you feel like it's normal insomnia? Do you ever feel energised or stimulated while you're up late? I'm 59 days off invega but still have side effects of not feeling hunger or tiredness but it's different to feeling of insomnia it's hard to explain but I feel like a robot & I never know when I'm going to fall alseep I don't feel tiredness or exhaustion & I don't feel refreshed when I wake up or like I've slept if that makes sense
 
Does anyone else have disorientated speech when I talk it sounds like I’m sedated and the things I say don’t always come out how they should sound.
