I think he had 3 injections 100mg and 2-3 50mgs I'm not sure. Like 150-200mg in total. In my country the doses or invega there's available are low compared to the US, NEVERTHELESS it's still a fucking nightmare to be om that shit. But yeah it took like only 4-5 months for him to feel better. One of the signs that you're getting better is when u can cum again, my friend told me for the first 2 months he couldn't expel semen, that along with all the normal annoying side effects like lethargy, mental fog, tremors, etc. But yeah, his metabolism helped him get rid of it fast. He still had a massive desire to get high, fucked up really bad, stole a shit ton of money from his mom, went on a 3 day IM ket bender and is in rehab now. I told him he was gonna end up there but didn't wanna listen to me. I hope he's doing good though.

I'm finally starting to be able to cum, I'm a bit numb though and it takes a while. My erections have gotten better as well. I can only get one when I masturbate though. Hopefully on abilify I'll be better, I'm going on 400mg shot

I'm hoping my sex life returns to normal on abilify. I've heard it lowers prolactin, is this true?

If your still on an antipsychotic chances are you wont be able to heal your sexual life. You might need to get off antipsychotics completely to recover from that.

I took abilify before. It gave me neck pain and slurred speach along with the side effects of lack of motivation and lack of emotion. Its the only antipsychotic ive been on that gave me neck pain and slurred speech

Please be careful not to use absolutes like "you won't" be able to heal. While it is true that one "may not" be able to heal from antipsychotics, it is also true that someone "can" be able to heal. Please remember that we are all different and our bodies and brains react differently to different medications.

I know this is the Invega thread and it seems like almost all people have negative side effects from that medication. It doesn't mean other medications cannot be helpful. Myself included. I've stated many times how I was able to have a decent sex life on Abilify up until covid hit. Not that everyone will be able to do the same, but it worked for me.

Yeah your a lucky guy to find a med that.didnt affect him negatively. I tried seroquel after and it didnt work out for me. Im still planning to take ulotaront when it comes out but thats not for another 4 years. Ill try rexulti or vraylar at some point.

Thats not even close to healed. I felt better (but still severely bad) at 5 months too, but not even close to fully healed.

They give invega too drug addicts to stop addiction and drug seeking behavior one of the major receptor that are blocked are responsible for drug seeking behavior and addiction

That can still make you even worse addict because you want to feel something properly and not be in desperate state of severe anhedonia. So that guy surely relapsed into drug use partialy because of invega.
 
10.3 months off, still having severe anhedonia (but it was much worse before), moderate chest pain. That chest pain is connected with anxiety

has anyone taken this drug not for psychosis but for a fit of anger and is cured? after 10 months I feel worse and worse. there is no risk that if someone who does not have psychosis takes it he will never recover

You should still recover.
 
Fuck man I hate those ap's. Why tf did I put myself accidently in the psychiatric part of the hospital? I was mentally very healthy just that my blood sugar probably was low/didn't are for a while and was maybe dehydrated and wronly came off my meds (Ritalin) and little bit anxious/stressed about my exams these 3 factors probably the former part the most made me convinced I had 'mania' :lol. I probably confused my restlessness due anxiety as being hyperactive of the Mania part. If I Just ate,drank water,exerciced,took care of myself I would'nt even be there.

I now wasted 2.5 years almost bcs of that bullshit.

I'm still worried if my dopamine receptors haven't fully healed. I still have Times where I'm like, ok I improved but did I improved fully or not (which obvs should be the goal, going back to that pre-state, your brain pre-ap's, the real one, not chemically modified). I mean you Read that it reduced some part of your brain size or something like that and/of Grey/White mattterz. It makes you ask, is its permanent? So your brain had Just shrinked suddenly? The thing that mother natures has given you completely destroyed bcs of de on invention. Oh common!
 
Idk maybe reading bluelight actually triggers memories from the ap's experiences :lol. I should be recovered but I still don't know.

Hai avuto solo 1 colpo di invega?

Ciao. 2 iniezioni iniziali. Ma lo dice la cartella clinica. In italia lo danno per sedarti anche se per esempio hai sbattuto una sedia sul muro e qualcuno chiama i carabinieri.
 
I would say I like the medication if it wasn't giving me sexual side effects. I just miss being able to day dream and picture images in my mind as well.

Yes that's exactly what I went through. I was being harassed by people in my town because I'm into conspiracy theories to a certain extent. I believe the NWO is happening and the illuminati exists. I was defending myself after someone said I was killed, so I made threats back and the doctor says I'm schizophrenic. He doesn't believe I was being harassed.
 
I feel like us enlightened people are targets for community harassment and doctors want to silence us by making us look crazy. Prescribing us drugs that silence you, ruin you.
