I can actually laugh again. Still very irritable. Can anyone cry after 3 months? I can’t cry. I feel like once crying comes back the emotions tend to follow.
 
A few weeks ago I was actually really scared that I might've been having like some sort of a stroke, and I went to the hospital too, and they said it looked like I didn't, but it still seemed like something was very wrong with my head though, right now I'm actually feeling quite a bit better though, and I might even be able to start working out again in about a month and maybe even working like full-time again then too.
 
At the beginning of January it’ll be a year
You said you thought this shit was permanent but you’re not even a year off there’s been a lot of cases of people recovering at 13-18 months I’m 95% sure you will recover fully.
 
I heard around the 6th month the side effects lessen. Does anyone know if this true?
For most people they lessen around month 6 but for me it happened earlier at month 2.5 I’ve been making a pretty rapid recovery I’m almost 4 months off now.

I dont know if I have asked you but does weed work for you?

I haven’t tried yet I’ve been pretty sober during my recovery caffeine does work I’d guess weed would work for me cause I can feel endorphins from exercise but the high probably wouldn’t be as strong.
 
It feels like I got a chemical lobotomy. This is ridiculous. I used to be a great conversationalist. Now I just sit there with nothing to say. Does anyone else have trouble with eye contact? It’s like my eyes can’t concentrate enough to make eye contact. I just spend most of my time looking at the ground or away from people.
 
Did anyone else sign a paper for invega sustenna? They made me sign a piece of paper before I took it.

You’ve got some good ideas, but you’re dreaming if you think any of your propositions will happen. No one will ever get compensated for being tortured by invega.

Is it true that meth is 6 times more pleasurable than sex? There was a source online that said that.

On a scientific level, methamphetamine releases a significantly higher level of dopamine than basically anything else. This is what makes it so horribly addictive (I have had an on off IV meth addiction since I was 21, and I am 28 now).

It comes at a significant cost. Not only do people tend to notice a significant increase in their tolerance for the substance, but most people (even me occasionally after periods of heavy use, not when I was managing to keep it once weekly to fortnightly, and I mean one single day not 'one' use as in three days of the week) experience severe, and I mean severe, emotional crashes, which leave them too fatigued to even leave their bed, and can push them to be borderline suicidal.

It basically uses up all your dopamine. All of it. And people don't understand how the drug actually works. You can't really use it multiple days in a row without exceeding your original dose to try and get whatever dopamine is left (if any) and the reality is, most people are just staying awake rather than high or in any kind of rush.

Take it from someone who has lived with an IV meth addiction (as well as used other routes of administration) - it is not worth it. For what it gives, it takes away far, far more.

Yeah maybe unless like the president from the Libertarian-Anarchist party actually came into power, but they could still maybe try to prevent the psychiatric industry from getting any government grant money though or something.
 
Not to say there aren't downsides
I'd be cautious about making conclusion about what it means for your average ex-invega user.
