When I first got the shot mornings were terrible because time passed slowly and I'd have to get through the whole day. Evenings were better because it'd almost be bedtime.

Dude please for the love of god stop trying to kill yourself. I completely understand what you're going through, most of us I'd assume, but PLEASE give yourself time to continue recovering. We don't want to loose someone else the way we most likely lost Merek too, you may not feel like it's the truth or believe it but I'm sure many people care about you, and they would be completely devastated to find out that you commit suicide. Then they'd have to live with the pain and trauma of loosing you, probably for the rest of their lives.

I may not know you in person, I don't even speak with you directly for that matter, but I still care, and I'd feel upset knowing what occured to you. You may feel as if there's no hope left, as if the rest of your life has been ruined, but many people have recovered sufficiently, including myself, to live a good quality of life again. If you chose to commit suicide, how would you ever know whether you'd continue recovering or not. Then it would be a waste of a valuable life, one that could've had so much potential, one that makes you unique from everyone else.

I still hate myself for not being around when Merek most likely commit suicide, all because I wanted to take a short break from this thread for a while. But this time it's different, this time I'm here to try my best to talk people out of doing it. Invega may have screwed me over, but for that same reason I want to dedicate the rest of my life to helping others, specifically from these kind of situations.

Listen bro you HAVE NOT waited long enough … you may still recover ??? Your off 5 months and that means the drug is only recently left your system … now your brain will start to recover the damage … it may take 12-18-24 months to recover ??? You have already achieved 5 months you need to keep going , your only 23 you need to survive man , please don’t kill yourself … if it was like 2 years since your last injection then I would understand but it’s just 5 months , come on man give yourself more time please 🙏

I agree… I’m almost 6 months off, with no improvement this far, but we have to keep pushing bro. Idk your situation at home and how your family is taking you dealing with the effects of this drug, but I hope you just hang on, I believe we can recover man truthfully.

When I was 3 months off, I went on a vacation to a very exotic place where I always liked going, hated and suffered every minute of it.
I've recently been on a vacation, it was shitty but certainly not unspeakable extreme suffering as before.

Yeah I went on 1 when I was 2 months off, Straight lobotomized, my nieces who look up to me, I couldn’t engage in laughter and conversation (even though I faked it) it was saddening, just no personality or assertiveness… I know exactly what you mean smh

I really don't know to be honest, even before Invega I never really bothered to try getting high in any way. I will say though that for the past few days I've been wanting to put my gardening skills to good use and grow marijuana indoors hydroponically. It's mainly to try and attempt to feel more euphoria and all, something that Invega caused me to stop feeling properly. I'm still 50/50 about it, but at this point I'm leanings more towards giving it a shot, it's not like I've ever had issues with psychosis anyways so it's not a concern of mine. If I do end up trying it I'll try to remember and tell you if I can get high later on, hopefully I can though.

Ok thank so much bro
 
I had another manic episode with psychotic features, so I have decided to accept my diagnosis of schitzoaffective disorder. I don't want to take more antipsychotics though. I never needed them before I tried Straterra. My second episode was induced by Prozac. In the future after I hearled, I want to try Viibryd with a mood stabilizer, but healing from these damn shots is taking priority over treating my OCD. Weed almost made me have another psychotic episode, so be careful trying weed coming off invega! I made my mistakes, please learn from them. I'm a dumbass.

I'm on busiprone for anxiety, it also helps me feel better. I got my lion's mane supplement today and I've been smoking CBD flower. I can laugh and cry, but I really miss music shivers and many other forms of pleasure. 110+ days out.

Who had severe slurred speech because of the injections?

I did! I still sort of do! It’s not severe but it’s pretty noticeable to me especially when I get going and try to talk super fast. I tell my doctor about it and everything and basically they don’t have any answers for it!

When did you start feeling the euphoria from weed?

I don't feel euphoria from weed right now, it almost caused another psychotic episode last time I tried to smoke. I was feeling some of the relaxing effects until now. I hope I can actually enjoy it again some day.

I also couldn't play the roleplaying game with my friends, probably because I was in another manic episode and I couldn't track anything going on or come up with anything to say. I got really upset.

I got my lion's mane supplement yesterday and I think it helped me sleep.

My sex drive is improving again after I quit Prozac. I'm on buspirone for anxiety and it helps.

They tried putting me on abilify and zyprexia, but I'm afraid of the brain damage those also cause. I think my worsening psychotic symptoms might be due to the invega. I never had a severe psychotic episode before this. I almost left the psychotic episode naturally, and then I got worse in the hospital.
