Have you fully recovered yet? I still have depression and anhedonia but it isn’t as severe as before I also don’t enjoy watching tv as much as before has that all gone back to pre invega for you?

I dont think I will ever recover and be able to feel on weed again unless there comes a cure. But I still think we are returning to out dreams. Hopefully this year!

How long since your last injection & how many did you take?
 
I’m a week off masterbation addiction today and the withdrawals are starting to hit they usually take a week to hit for me and last from day 7-42 feeling pretty irritated I had muscle weakness when I worked out today headaches and body aches, depression, and brain fog but I’m prepared too deal with it I was gonna talk to my psychiatrist (I got a good psychiatrist she got me off invega) and see if I could try ketamine therapy.
 
Its been 16 months for me, I haven’t fully recovered yet. I work out daily but I can still feel the symptoms in my body

You take any other medications?

No I only took the two initial doses. I rarely even ever take meds but I had a bad trip and ended up taking the invega shot but it didn’t help, I like when I’m not, i feel normal. I’m about to start fasting again and push myself a little more so I can see if that will speed up the recovery.

What are you still dealing with? Are you able to feel emotions or joy? Can you feel the effects of caffeine or other substances

Do you exercise regularly, have a routine, eat healthy, sleep well, and socialize with others? Did you do these things while on the injection?

Don't lose hope for not feeling weed just yet, You've been on a two years worth of injections, that's a lot man.
Please be patient. What if you'll be able to feel weed a year from now?

I hope a year from now we have returned home to the dream realm
 
I feel like every time I go to see a psychiatrist, there will come a moment--during the session--where he/she chooses to take something I said negatively. It's at that point that they usually turn things around, all of a sudden, and ask "Had any paranoid thoughts lately?"

Isn't that a bit hypocritical...
 
#Day 1 - Off
So guys it's been a day since I'm off the medication, not feeling any different hmm.. interesting.

Yeah I don't think it's blocking the dopamine receptors 100% otherwise we wouldnt be able to enjoy little things like eating food as you said. Same here I enjoy eating a nice pizza & getting a little dopamine rush from it atleast that wasnt taken away. Which actually does say that receptors aren't 100% fried and can repair itself.

I was not able to enjoy food (and smells) and it was even hard for me to focus on eating food. That is still numbed for me.

During period of first 12 months off, some food only eased my akathisia and anxiety. I could sense taste of food and but it produced same feeling as drinking water. Do not eat trash food, even if it provides temporal easing, it is not good for metabolism. You are so long on invega you probably don't remember how you were before(keep in mind your long term memory is damaged or in fog and you can not fully remember until you recover to some degree) and thus if you are having 1% receptors active it seems like more to you but 1% is a lot compared to 0.01%(if you were actualy 0 multipler would be immeasurable), difference multiplier is x100.

For some people invega can even block what it's not supposed to block and cause seizure and deaths, that is because of blocking gaba or glutamate.
While for others invega has less effect on serotonin on others it can affect it strongly, depends on your brain structure.
But for almost everybody it blocks dopamine of D1-D5 type (some less some more), D2 it blocks completely for most (D2 released for delayed gratification and when you acomplish something, a lso when you watch a movie), D5-D4 is more for providing easing and relaxing effect, D1 is for feeling good from movement.
It also blocks oxycitine and thus you can not feel love and affection.
Blocks adrenaline of 3 types but constantly agonises adrenaline of one type, that can cause bodily pains because your body receives adrenaline constantly and it is no joke, some people are more sensitive to that and get bodily pains for first ~4-12 months.

Invega works weakest on D1 while it still blocks it very strongly (up to 95%), but you should take advantage of this and go outside more and move.

Hey man give it some more time you'll be fine, you will eventually return to your pre invega state.

Thank you. If we are to stay here long term then I want to recovet and be able to feel on weed again. But hopefully this realm ends and we return to our dreams!

^ what he said eating healthy and taking advantage of being able to move as much as I can helped immensely even though the D1 receptors are the least blocked when I had just received the injection I could barely walk at all although I was on 5 other meds so that may have had something to do with it but I would push myself to go as far as possible even if it meant only walking 40 feet I also have a really fast metabolism to begin with and I drink a ton of water so I detox pretty quickly which has definitely helped me get to the point I am in as short as 5 months my long term memory has come back and I remember what I felt like pre invega but my short term memory hasn’t come back yet I’m still very forgetful.
