I had severe anhedonia while being on invega and it was surely impossible for me to do any kind of job. I really don't know how it can be possible to work with anhedonia, I guess everybody is different.

Looks like some people here want to sue Janssen but the ones to sue are psychiatrists Imo. (especially the ones who tag you as schizophrenic without thinking twice and inject you with invega watever symptoms and intensity of symptoms you get.)

how many injections have you had i remember? please give us some hope, tell us about your experience on Invega, have you been suicidal every day? have you recovered 100%?
 
How come if you take an antipsychotic you can’t feel music like you once did. I used to get goosebumps from music and float to songs. Now it’s like falling on deaf ears. Or is that just the Invega. It’s friggen sucks.

I'm assuming it's because antipsychotics reduce dopamine transmission in the brain, which reduces your enjoyment of, well, anything..... :(

You need to actively do things to recover. Recovery usually doesnt just "happen" people worked for it

Thats bullshit. DO not scare people out who cant do stuff actively. And what even you can do, exercise? quite only helps to get poison out faster a bit (but it gets out anyway) and a bit helps in neuroplasticy, intermittment fasting is bullshit - only helps burn fat. Healthy diet I suppose most of us do that. Drinking a lot of water most of us do. Walks, most of us do. I do all of that except exercise, intermittment fasting I tried and messed up my sleep.

It blocks dopamine storage (presynaptic vesicles) and blocks dopamine responsivity (postsynaptic receptors). So basicly your feelings strenght and duration is decresed.

And did most of people exiercise who recovered here, no. @Koolio254 did not exercise. I exercised heavy for a month or two and it did nothing.
 
There was a guy who layed in bed for 9 months in a row and recovered around 10 months. And many more cases.
 
Sure if you gained fat you gonna need to exercise if you want full recovery faster.

What you even consider exercising @InvegaIsdeath. I did heavy stuff like 30 dips, 50-100 pushups, dumbbell shoulder exercises 2-5 different sets 10 reps, 30 body rows, pullups, etc few times a week for a month or two (which should be enough because some people exercised much less than me and still recovered), made me feel more like shit after because invega released more, from big shit you get to bigger shit, I cant handle that. Also my motivation is too low to exercise. My body tho looks very fit.

Also when I said I'm good at 6 months off it wasn't what normal person considers good, normal person would say it's some kind of serious depression but for me it was good because I know how much worse it can be. BUT when I look how I felt at 6 months IM horrified, now its big shit but then it was even worse. I'm not close to recovery.
