Open question for anyone to respond: what do you miss most about life pre-invega?

Having the energy to go out and socialize, my ability to workout like I used too and get endorphins from it, being able to enjoy music and tv shows, and being strong mentally like I’ve dealt with a lot of addictions in life and always been able to power through it and toughen it out but invega made me a bitch I almost took my life cause of a pornography relapse thank fuck I haven’t relasped on some of the harder drugs I was doing.

I noticed that Xeplion made me less of a man, easily afraid of challenges instead of before, ready to conquer them.

Ya I definitely feel that too it’s definitely significantly improved since getting first injected though I expect by month 7-8 to be fully recovered I’m about 60-65% recovered almost 5 months off

I don't understand how some people recovered sexually in less than 6 months.
I used to be highly sexual guy, producing loads of semen with each jerk (sorry for being graphic) and easily getting aroused by hot chicks.
Now I hardly feel anything, no excitement from girls and watery semen with very small volume.
God please forgive me, this is the worse punishment I received in my life.
Life became worthless, and this is only one of the reasons.

It’s all good and the way I recovered that fast is cause I did a lot of exercise early in my recovery which helps boost libido and sex drive … im also an 18 year old male raging with testosterone.

I hope I'll recover, this and other things I already mentioned.
It doesn't look like recovery ever gonna happen for me, it seems like I just hit a certain level of healing in my recovery and that's about it.
 
4 months 21 days off the invega shots got some positive things too report I think it’s easy to get consumed by the negativity of your situation and forget the improvements you’ve made but a positive attitude can go a long way. My ability too exercise returned at month 2 I was able too go for long walks by month 3 I was able too run 2.5 miles and lift a lot of weight efficiently now I have muscle weakness and lack of stamina it’s cause of invega withdrawals it’s not necessarily a bad thing it just means my body and brain are re adjusting too homeostasis when the withdrawals ease up I’ll be able too run faster and longer and lift with more energy then before, Penis shrinkage went away after 3.5 months then at 4 months I got libido and full blown erections again it’s not quite like pre invega but it’s about 80% recovered like I can’t go for a round 2 immediately like I used too but other then that it’s all back, I gained 27 pounds from invega what happened was when I got injected I was a skinny drug addict I was 6’0 137 pounds I was 153 before I lost weight from drug abuse I got too 164 from invega and had a big belly I’ve lost 11 pounds of invega weight and I’m back to 153 exactly where I was before and the belly is completely gone I used too have a six pack and it’s coming back a little. As for substances I don’t take anything a lot anymore after I had my psychosis (from kratom withdrawal) but I can feel alcohol 100% like pre invega and I can even get euphoria from it I tried caffeine at 3.5 months off and felt it 100% but then I tried it again recently and barely felt it I recently relasped on masterbation so my dopamine levels are below baseline and ejaculation makes me lose my energy so that’s probably why but if it weren’t for that caffeine works for me too, and depression and anhedonia have improved the least outta everything I have mentioned I still don’t enjoy tv shows, music, working out, I recently took a vacation and didn’t find it much fun at all it’s definitely better then square 1 though I’d say depression and anhedonia have improved about 50% just waiting for that to subside and I’ll be feeling pretty good I also lack motivation to go back to working and school it might be part of the withdrawal process, There was a time that I thought I was fucked for life and I would never recover but trust me you will recover.
 
What kind of withdrawl symptoms have you guys experienced when you got off the injection? Wish to hear some so I know abit of what I can expect, I'm getting off the injection in 9 days

I doubt exercise had to do anything with the recovery, maybe you got lucky to be recovered so early...
Everybody heals at a different pace and different side effects resolve faster than others.
 
How long does it to recover from abilify anhedonia? Invegetable took five months.... the prolactin increase on invega is insane

Both psychosis and mania, I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder 9 months ago, been on the injection for 9 months finally quitting it at 75mg dosage. Good to hear you havent relapsed well done!

Is that drug induced psychosis?...or sth else?
 
UnluckyXeplion said:
Was wondering how long are you off since your last shot, and how is your sexual function?
Are you on any other meds?

I'm not on any other meds. I'm 19 months and 7 days off (that is 77 weeks). I'm on seemen retention for 3+ months, so I don't completely know how is my sexual function, but I do have libido mostly recovered.

Can you get high on weed now?
And how long after your last shot did your sexual function returned to normal? (or almost normal)
