There are ppl that recover faster, some slower, some never recover and have life lasting issues. I did tons of researches unfortunately there are ppl that are Not lucky wirh recovery. My parents have agreed with me to remove all the meds. They said no Matter what happens they wont send me Back to hospital anymore
I feel sorry for the ones with lasting issues because nobody will believe them
 
If you can work 2 months off you arent that much affected by invega...most people are bedbound for six months straight
You're not in my shoes. I spent most of my time in the first two months in bed and contemplating suicide because of how terrible things have become from invega and I would like to stay in bed as I recover but I have no option but to work as I have no one to support me so I have to work through the pain, the pain from invega and the pain from the work day before. At work I feel like my body is shutting down dying from all the pain and tiredness but I have no choice but to keep going. I worked same job before invega and it was no where near as taxing as it is now, it felt easy now it feels like its slowly killing me. I have mentioned on here I have side effects I know we're 100% from invega that I have seen reported by none or very few, so I'm extremely affected by it. The first month and a half it consumed 95% of my thoughts just thinking how poisoned I was and if it was/is going to kill me. It helped me that I was fairly healthy, young, and worked out.
 
I was not very sociable at all on invega or abilify when i got home from the psych ward. I just wanted to stay home and do coke. I had no desire to go anywhere really Granted i wasent terribly social in the sense of going places or anything beforehand really as im more of a stay at home watch movies and get high kind of person. I wonder how much of me not wanting to be that social anymore has to do with the drugs as opposed to just being in the psych ward. Really now my dream is to fuck off to Australia and live in the outback away from people or maybe go to Cuba as i don't really want anything to do with this society anyway. The whole experience of being in the psych ward was very dehumanizing and i think it changed me more then any drug could really. I witnessed some of the worst humanity has to offer in there and i for one want nothing to do with western society anymore.

I still was pretty sociable i guess in a way even when i was in the psych ward as i was always hanging out with people, getting some weed sessions on the go and shit like that. I got along with pretty much everyone in there except a few assholes as there was a few snitches i there and people sucking up to the nurses and shit. That i had no time for and it made me sick Now since i have more or less recovered i am still sociable but am picky about who i spend my time with. I still keep in contact with my friends though
The whole experience made me very hedonic as well...now i only want to sit at home all day do drugs and play video games. I dont want to contribute anything to western civilization anymore. I dont want anything to do with family anymore because they are the cause of this asylum thing

For me personally LSD & Shrooms helped me a ton with seeing the bigger picture and realizing that being hedonic will just lead to pain and misery for me and I know you’ve taken psychedelics no problem and they’re safe for you so maybe try too take a trip again and see if it helps you. It may not work though unfortunately cause of abilify blocking 5-HT2a serotonin receptors.

I forgave my family because wtf else could they do in that situation? They had to get me some kind of help. I don't see anything wrong with wanting to stay at home and play video games all day and get high. Some people just arent for socializing
 
I did, I could socially function at work at 12 months but got my joy of socializing normally back at around two Years off , sometimes being more social than I was prior to invega depending on what was going on in my life. Can laugh, joke, play games, write, goof around, small talk for fun, and have a general fun time , even when sober, like when I was a kid again. 8 months is very early to expect to regain this complex function
When did you regain your thoughts and inner monologue back?

I understand the fact that you said said no one recovers however, however those who "never" recover do recover to a certain extent it may not be more than those who "recover" but they do recover when they stop the AP's it may not be much but not being on antipsychotics you recover from the side effects, it just doesn't make sense how to get side effects when you dont take the medication.

Ya I agree with this @sweetheart123 how can you still blame this on invega 8 years later when you’ve been on a fuck off dose of seroquel the entire time? you can’t know for sure it’s invegas fault when you never stopped anti psychotics.

I'll never forget coming out of my room after being shot with invega in the psych ward, one of the friends I had made tried to talk to me and started yelling at the staff for the changed he saw in me . I couldn't play cards or basketball anymore. It was like Jack Nicholson after his lobotomy in Cuckoos nest
When did you regain ability to feel caffeine/substances
Around 12 months, but then I started to abuse alcohol. I went psychotic again around 14 months
I feel sorry for the ones with lasting issues because nobody will believe them
Most who have lasting issues are on some other neuroleptic. There is one or two person who claimed they were drug free and never recovered....but I think that if you don't believe you will recover, your functions will come back but your outlook won't allow you to recognize it
I forgave my family because wtf else could they do in that situation? They had to get me some kind of help. I don't see anything wrong with wanting to stay at home and play video games all day and get high. Some people just arent for socializing
I was always the scapegoat of the family but My family has never treated me the same after my mental break
My mom will gaslight me about being psychotic whenever we disagree. She encouraged my brother and sister to no longer speak with me. my time on invega & psychosis destroyed my relationship with my family. Luckily I have amazing in laws who don't judge me for something that is not part of who I actually am and is not my fault.

These slowly start to return around 12 months, but don't really feel like "yourself" until around 18 months, with full recovery (able to spontaneously generate thought like normal) until around 2 years

2-2.5 years is a really long time too fully recover from 4 shots, the average person will recover quicker then that usually around 12-18 months. I think alcohol abuse and your second psychosis relaspe where you had too take the paliparadone pills probably prolonged your recovery from the injections.

That may be. I'm also older, in my 30s. People who are younger seem to have a faster recovery timeline

I can vouch for not able to recover while taking other AP....on invega i recovered after 6 months like 50% ...now after abilify shots while taking abilify its 10%....it would take forever to recover on this pace....luckily after 3 weeks i will be on 2.5 mg taking it with saint johnswort will lowers the amount absorbed and speed up metabolization. its the dose mainly ...if you take a lower dose of seroquel or abilify you can still recover but 300 mg of seroquel is pretty much a fuckoff dose, so is 5 mg to 10 mg of abilify.

That said there are people that didnt recover from invega but you can only say its the invega when you cease all other medications

Dang I’m at 13 months not having much luck with caffeine substances I feel way better than I did 5 months ago being bed ridden and staring at walls lol, I’m able to socialize better and stuff hopefully only a few more months I will be able to feel substances
 
Same, can u feel caffeine/substances yet how long u been off
I recovered my ability too feel the effects of acid, weed, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol 100% by the time I was 6-7 months off the injections, I regained my ability too feel them about 50% at month 3.5.

I think once that comes back I would consider myself recovered I tried shrooms the other day and the day after felt better I used to be sensitive to caffeine now I can drink a bang energy without noticing a thing

What about kratom
 
I think once that comes back I would consider myself recovered I tried shrooms the other day and the day after felt better maybe get some more I used to be sensitive to caffeine now I can drink a bang energy without noticing a thing
Maybe try micro/mini dosing shrooms every 3-4 days, it can help increase brain plasticity and regenerate damaged cells, it will also speed up the process of your brain rewiring it’s self back to normal from the damage invega caused so do your research and know your body well gotta be careful about rebound psychosis if you choose too speed up your recovery that way.
What about kratom
Haven’t tried kratom or any other opiates for that matter and never will, not only are they highly addictive and can deplete dopamine while being super hard too quit but kratom specifically is what caused my psychosis, I took 35 grams daily for a month straight during a time when I was severely depressed then cold turkeyed it and didn’t sleep and barely ate for 5 days straight which led to my psychosis, I’m sure I’d be able too feel opiates now though judging by the way I feel I crave them all the time cause I feel like they’d hit me strong but I don’t give in cause it would do more harm then good for me personally.
 
They could fix any AP damage with stem cells most likely.
Stem cells might work but there's also the risk of them turning cancerous later. I would probably be willing to risk some sort of experimental treatment though in the hopes of getting my soul back pretty much. They might know something about how to fix this stuff in places like the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico as well as they probably also know alot more about that Covid vaccine than we do, or in one of those deep underground military bases (D.U.M.B.'s) that they have. Those things really do exist, and who really know what they do down there all day 24/7.
