Apparently it takes 150-300 days to leave your system I believe that's confirmed by invega makers. Just do a google search & maybe show that to your psychiatrist

I think he is lucky if at 3.5 months notices improvement, besides my akatisia nothing else has improved I am at 0 dopamine. Serotonine maybe it's too high and that's why I can't sleep. At least this monsters of JansJ should tell what do they exactly plan to do so to reverse its easier

At 3.5 he is a former zombie. At 6 I am still a zombie

Serotonine is very important for sleep.
I don't think you have too much of it after xeplion, rather too little.
From my experience, the SSRI (escitalopram) I've been taking noticeably improved my sleep.
Also, a serotonine increase will help for dopamine. Plus, serotonine can take over some of the functions of dopamine.
 
Month 8.5..
Brain fog has become much less in a few weeks.
My sexuality is coming back.

Thought I had lost all my wits, but my sense of humour is coming back too!

but still I'm using lorazepam for the moments I'm having suicidal thoughts. So many low thoughts.. because I feel bad about my career and I'm just sitting in my room, living on my own, for so much time.. Three years between four walls. Can't really share these struggles with anyone around me, but then I'm just writing them down; and I will keep it to reread at a later moment in life.

Now that I am a bit more confident and have more control about how I carry myself (for example, greeting and saying goodbye is going less clumsy) have my sense of humour back, I feel like I can start dating soon. Next step in my recovery.

Do you guys believe it's possibile to have a speedy recovery without relying on other drugs and supplements? Most of the recovery stories I've read are pretty impressive but involve usage of wellbutrin, adderall or SJW which I am very hesitant to take (assuming I could even get a prescription all things considered)

Lorazepam does really little to me since invenga. How did you get it prescribed. I have to fight a lot for my prescriptions

Everyone here talked about being tired. I am not tired, ever, no sleepiness, ever, that's why I think my serotonine is high.

And I guess you do sleep.

I am such a rare case I am suffering so much. I think I was no psychotic or my brain is too fragile to take invenga. But that is what they promised me when I took the shots. 1st.that they were not going to hurt me 2ndthat I could do normal life 3rd that there were no secondary effects. Then they told me after stopping that everything would go back to normal in 3-4 months.

They have totally destroyed me and nobody wants to be responsible of it. I can't ask for help to no one. Could the moderators get a psiquiatrist to pass here?

I was an independent person. Now I depend on my mother to everything for me. I spend all day in bed suffering. Why this drug has hurt me so much? I don't know how long I am going to manage without committing suicide. I loved life. But this is no life anymore. I think when people say they have 0 dopamine they all have some.

This is me. I depleted mine to. I am also in bed all day, but I haven’t taken invenga, my issues are from vyvance
 
I have a problem with my family. The one forced me into the 6 shots.

6/12 0:32] MCarmen: Who is everyone? Those "friends" you made on the forums?[12/6 0:33] MCarmen: Don't make me talk anymore [12/6 10:11 ] MCarmen: Don't you realize it's now your delirium? [12/6 10:12] MCarmen: Maybe confinement could help you realize that and get out of this spiral you're in stuck

What can I do?

I don't know any psychiatrists so I can't ask any to come on here. Sorry.

It sounds like you are recovering really well, despite still having some really low thoughts sometimes. I must say, sometimes benzodiazepines such as lorazepam can cause low moods, so there is a chance that the lorazepam is exacerbating your low thoughts and suicidal thoughts. Just a thought.
 
who has lost weight did it alone or on a diet? even if I eat a little I don't lose 1 kg ... and I'm 11 months off. I think there is metabolic damage. even the smallest and least erect penis
 
in order not to feel invega I take 4-5 stilnox a day. they are hypnotic but if you stay awake they give an excitatory dopaminergic effect ... you feel like you didn't have invega ... but it doesn't last long ... and now I'm addicted. without stilnox I would kill myself ... the clinics to detoxify do not take me because they say that I can stop by myself. and that they help customers who take. 50 100 pills a day ... advice ?? after 9-10 hours without stilnox I tremble, sweat, migraine, I feel bad. that's why I'm a junkie and I take more a day
