Yes i think so...but less euphoric way..i can concentrate on some kin of stuff like video games or making music...but not like used to be...but yeah it will improve for sure ...so dont worry youre at really early stage ...you will start to feel better in couple of months.
One would only hope so. If they were, hopefully they would read the entire thread and educate themselves on how bad Invega is for real.
Weight loss on invega is 95% diet. I have noticed weight loss at the 5th month by decreasing calories and sticking to a keto diet.
Sounds like you should start looking for a relationship
Takes 1 month after last shot to have full effect of invega because it builds up in brain (calcifies receptors and blocks storage of neurotransmitters) over that time and then at 1 month it's on its "peak". I can relate to you, but I didn't took 3rd shot, but still I felt x10+ more horrible at month 1 since last injection, compared to 0.6 month since last injection. I'm now at 11 months off and still recovering very slowly.
Doesn't help much.
I haven't had psychosis since March 2020. That came on quickly, two days, one night at home, one night on overnight hold in the ER, the husband had me committed. I was committed for 10 days, told them NO SHOT, took invega pills, recovered from those within 2 weeks.
Mick, please visit psych and make an action plan , get a pill prescription and take some. The pills will level you out and you can get off them as soon as you override your psychosis. It may just be rebound psychosis, and you can recover quickly. Worst thing that can happen is to get loaded up again, I know the psych is scary but if you're cogent they can't hold you & if you ask for pills they will want to give them to you, its imperative.
18 mos - 2 years fully.
You will be the same again. Stay off all psychotropic and keep up the hope.
I am not schizophrenic or on any medication and I healed from invega.
I feel that you should get off of all pills but I understand that you are in a bad situation with your family
The fact that you can discern what you have and what you need at 7 months off is a very good sign - you will be fine - recovering as much as you have at 7 mo is rare.
I recovered most of my congnitive abilities around month 7-9, but anhedonia, creativity (+ abstract thinking), motivation, focus and emotions are recovering at slowest rate.
Nobody can even realise how bad invega is from just words.
This is really great to hear John! It's not very common that we hear of people in this thread committing to therapy. How is therapy going for you, if you don't mind me asking? Are you finding it beneficial?
What I said was partly tongue in cheek but I guess it's hard to convey that in print. However I think you are overexaggerating a bit with the whole "maintenance free" car analogy. All the meds we take have a laundry list of side effects that anyone can find online or at the pharmacy. We may have to educate ourselves when a doctor fails to educate us on side effects and that is what this thread is for.
Ive been on some pro medication schizophrenia sites and youtube and there are peoplevon invega claiming its good. I dont think its good but there are ppl that do. Idk what to think of those ppl.What I said was partly tongue in cheek but I guess it's hard to convey that in print.

Answer this question. When nearly everyone in this thread is explaining how bad invega is, how exactly would a doctor be able to infiltrate and influence anyone? If what you are alleging is true, there must be someone in this thread claiming invega is not that bad and people should take it. Because I for one am just not seeing anything like that.
Besides, how can anyone take you seriously when you include Alex Jones gifs in your posts
Bots probably or somebody's parents.
You said nothing here.
For some people it works fine. I found some in Twitter. The problem is like for psychiatrist is like they are the only ones that exist. They begin by rejecting when you tell them you feel bad with the medication and keep it on prescribing it. And denying all secundar effects. It is shocking. You listen to things like from a neurologue: “Hello! The active drug is eliminated in approximately 4 weeks. It has active metabolics that are eliminated from the body in 1-3 more weeks. The effects on neuronal plasticity are not well known. At 3 months the dopaminergic antagonism has surely disappeared."
It's going pretty well. My therapist shares my view on medication, how it's just something to get somebody out of a crisis and that we should cope with coping skills instead of meds. Pretty nice to finally talk to somebody like that in the mental health field. He's a pretty real and upfront guy too. Looking forward towards the future results with him. It's a part of my commitment to work with a therapist. Hopefully if I learn anything from it I'll be able to get off of commitment and medication and just handle it the way I want to.
