Ya I’ve noticed towards the end of the week I can’t lift as much cause of fatigue but my muscle looks way more toned then it was a month ago where I could lift more, I’ll probably take 7 days off completely then do light intensity for a week then pick it back up the week after while being careful not to overdo it, I have been doing sets till failure then once I fail I drop the weight and do that until failure which once in a while that’s good but too much of it is bad.
Constantly working towards failure is for training.
3x5 for power
8-12x3 for growth and endurance

Seriously consider tart cherry extract, I got ripped off it , it fixed my slee, and increased my endurance. It's like super creatine

I’ll research it and consider it, I got ripped off eating all the essential foods/fruits that get you ripped until I couldn’t eat anymore then once I couldn’t eat more I drank a protein shake with 30g of protein, what I’ve been doing lately is starting with 8-15x3 then my last set I’ll do 3-6x1 till I fail then drop the weight and do as many reps as I can until i can’t move my arms no more it increases strength really fast if done once in a while but doing it too much leads to exhaustion.

Also there's muscle memory. You can literally bore your muscles into not growing.


Try incorporating fun stuff like arnies.
 
Hello Ladies and Gentleman like you all I too have took the poison known as Invega Sustenna. My creativity has massively suffered. I can not make the music like I used to. I can barely imagine things, they are dim. I cannot form the words like I used to. It is like it stole my spirit from me. Daily tasks are hard for me as my dopamine recpetors are blocked leading to everything feeling like a drag to do. I have lost all motivation to do anything but read this forum seeing those like me in the same position. This has been as therapy for me. I wish I can go back in time and not take it but what was done is done. I was not let known that I would be experiencing this as I was trapped in the psych ward and would not be let out without the injection. It has been 51 days since my last injection. I took the two loading doses and one more a month later. I have been having great trouble sleeping. We are on a long road to recovery and I know we can all return to our previous selves if we have faith.

its going to take a while for receptors to recover

I too suffer from the exact same issues that you're undergoing, even though it's been exactly 4 months since I recieved the first and only loading dose of invega sustenna. It seems to have improved significantly but I initially had difficulty articulating or coming up with a response within a short period of time, now my mind in in a constant blank state and it requires me to put more effort into speaking/typing in general. I also don't recieve a sense of fulfillment or satisfaction from doing certain tasks like listening to music or playing games like I did beforehand. I used to be hyperfocused on maintaining a clean, organized environment, follow a specific routine/schedule, and be very obsessed about my hygiene/appearance in general but after recieving the injections I basically stopped caring entirely. I also constantly wish I could reverse time so as to prevent myself from having gotten the injections in the first place. My sleep was affected the most, probably more so then anyone else here. Up until the past few days I could literally only recieve somewhere between 30 minutes to an hour or perhaps two if I was lucky of sleep each night for over 3 months. I'm genuinely convinced I obtained brain damage of some kind as a result of it.
 
I have the same feelings everyday! The mental parts of this haunt me to this day of wanting to go back in time and not take it, mine was for Abilify though. I understand it can feel like your souls been taken from you, I experienced this.I don’t think we’re damaged permanently but I think it’s going to be very hard for awhile but it does get better and you will feel more like yourself.

how long you been off injection!???
 
It took me three years to completely feel cannabis fully again after getting off Abilify. I wouldn’t worry too much about it . There are other things that can make you happy. Also I took a lot of breaks to make my brain heal.
would you say your recovered?
 
Yes I recovered from Abilify. And then once I recovered from that my issues came back so I then went to take Risperdal. I had a much easier time on Risperdal but lately I have been dealing with extreme tiredness/low motivation throughout the day. I’ve been off it for about a month and a half so now I’m going through recovery from Risperdal.
 
Yep we are recovering the same time haha, how are you feeling nowadays then? But you have to remember my last injection may be in dec, but im officially med free since jan cause 1 month theres still medication in ur system
Yeh thats true but i think most people just count from when they got the injection. Um not great but I'm not acutely suicidal anymore which has changed in the last week, now its more of a background thing. Still feel very depressed, fatigued and I have apathy. The only thing I don't have is the anhedonia this time which im thankful for. I had been waking up at 5:30am and that has also recently improved a bit. How are you going? When I had paliperidone I started to feel stable around the 5 month mark, by month 7-8 I was good.
 
Also I was bed ridden all day and its slowly improved and the last few days I haven't been in bed at all but still kind of have the feeling I want to be so its a bit of a fight against it but its good signs I suppose

I'm not recovering from abilify...month 5 off invega i started to stabilize and the depression and anhedonia started to improve...this is not the case on abilify...matter in fact i'm worse off than month 2 even tho we are steadily lowering the dose of orals to zero. I took oral abilify for a month on invega too but it never caused me any problems

Taking a double dose of kratom and don't feel good about it at all...last thing i want to have is kratom addiction but if i don't take kratom i get breathing problems from abilify and anhedonia and depression so bad it's 4 times worse than invega i'm really close to suicide if i skip a dose of kratom...went from 15 grams a day to 30...i don't know what to do the doctors dont listen. Especially because they are tapering me from orals slowly...too slow imho. If i get to 2.5 mg im going to take shit johnswort to nulify the effect of orals.
Only thing that works is switching kratom to keep tolerance lower...go from green to white and from white to red

Another option is the use HHC but i'm afraid they will find out on drugs test because its so similar to thc

I'm bedridden now for most of the day every day

My gut feelings say I will never be able to feel on weed again despite how long time I have been off the meds. Please pray for a miracle for me
 
will running speed up the recovery process?
Don't do it until 4 months off, brain uses dopamine(and other stuff invega blocks/damages/deforms) to analogally control heart(spleen and gut) muscles and invega can decrease precision of muscle control. It can cause serious issues while running (happened to people in past threads and me but luckly nothing major), it also can cause arrhythmia, diarrhea(or constipation) and pains in spleen and intestines.
 
Why did my comment get deleted I literally ran on Invega and nothing happened like what this guys saying will happen it’s ridiculous
