No offence and I don’t mean to come off rude but I would take what @Merek says with a grain of salt….two shots is NOTHING compared to a years worth or more of Invega Sustenna and the damage it does. I don’t even think two shots has the ability to do any serious damage

I agree, two shots is nothing compared to 8 or 12, or 17!!
It has a compound effect, the more you get, the more it fucks you up. No wonder the damage feels permanent in my case.
6 months off no meds and I still haven't recovered significantly, where @Merek did.
Who knows, I might stay like this for life, bloated, bored, dumb and weak.

I don’t know if you’ll recover 100% or not, you won’t know for months and months. No point in posting your weekly updates. Nothing will change. What are you diagnosed with? Chances are you’re probably going to have to go on another antipsychotic and it’s going to have a list of side effects you’re going to have to deal with so. Best to try them out and get on something you can tolerate at least.

I got great news for everyone who wants to feel cannabis I got some edibles today and ate 4 gummies 10mg thc each I took 2 80 minutes ago and 2 more 20 minutes ago I’m super stoned with intense euphoria, emotions feel like pre invega cause of the high, the body high is awesome I feel complete pain relief, I’m feeling chill as hell and super relaxed I forgot how good something as simple weed is fuck all the hard drugs, it’s kicking in some more now and I’m so high it feels like my first high this is my first time consuming THC in 6-7 months so I have no tolerance.

Just wondering, have you been sober this whole time? I was abusing alcohol while on Invega and during recovery, as well as smoking weed. I never felt the effects the same as before, but it would put me on autopilot and speed up time, which I felt like I needed because I was so depressed.... I'm worried that this is what kept me from ever recovering. I'm so mad at myself. I'm worried that drinking/smoking weed in the first months after stopping is what prevented me from ever turning back to normal. It's been 2.5 years now off of Invega, and I'm still severely anhedonic, emotionally blunted, lack of personality, and severe sexual dysfunction. I'm mostly sober now, but every few months I'll try smoking or drinking to see if it works again. I tried yesterday for the first time in 6 months and it felt so weird. It just felt like my mind wasn't working, like I was severely impaired. No emotions, no euphoria.
 
Did anyone ever end up recovering even if they abused substances during their recovery? Or did anyone ever end up recovering even if they drank while on the drug?

I'm worried that this is the reason I never recovered. I'd love to hear some stories of people who recovered even after having abused substances/alcohol during their early recovery stages.

Thank you everyone

I’ve been sober pretty much the whole time the last time I got high was over a month ago with LSD then two times before that I’ve been drunk, then 3 times overall I drank some coffee but other then those 7 days outta 6 months I’ve been 100% sober, abusing substances is definitely why you haven’t recovered yet drinking excessively is terrible for recovery.

I've been mostly sober now though for over a year. I've only drank twice in the past year, and smoked weed 3 times.

I worry that there's some limited window of recovery time where the body tries to heal from Invega, and that I permanently ruined my chances of recovery because in my first six months off I abused alcohol heavily.

It makes me so mad at myself.

If anyone has stories of recovery despite alcohol abuse, I'd love to hear it

You should definitely be able too recover some day yes everyone who doesn’t recover is usually abusing substances, taking other psych meds, have a bad diet, lack of exercise, too much isolation etc, some people have allegedly not done any of those things but still claim to have not recovered but I don’t believe those stories I think there has to be some other factor involved.

How many shots did you take and how long are you off the shots?
 
I think I'm going through withdrawal symptoms.
I haven't slept almost at all for 2 days straight, my appetite decreased, and my sex drive is lower.
Maybe it's a good sign that I'm recovering who knows.

The people who don't recover are using other psych meds, or just srris. That's what ruins recovery
 
Some old advice from these threads for anyone recently injected
221575-Watching_fireworks_facebook_sm.jpg

get products with p-glycoproteins in them, which pull toxic materials from the blood brain barrier. Invega is toxic, hence why p-gp works.

Drink lots of tea. 3-8 teabags daily

St johns wort(in pill or liquid form) take between 800 mg and 3500 mgs a day. It has p-gp in it. It is also a natural MAOI, so dont take it in high dosages with psychoactives or you risk serotonin syndrome.

CDB buds have p-gp as well. Smoking this well help and it doesnt have psychoactive effects.

N ACETYL CYSTEIN(NAC) POWDER, buy from nootropicsdepot.

Also buy gluthathione with it.

both removes toxins. Glutathione supercharges the NAC.

Tart cherry extract for muscle soreness, sleep, energy, etc

L theanine for mild relaxation.

R-ala cyclodextrin from nootropics depot.
Drink lots of fluids. Dont eat lots of junk food.
 
CBD inhibits enzymes that break down invega

Just smoke weed like the other user mentioned but dont drink alcohol

Hopefully your emotions come back eventually they probably will.

So you did have the full combination of less semen and also less libido and sensitivity? But it all came back?

Those things you written below all came back
People who have those problems permanently received 12 shots or more
Except for dirtyinvega (username)
