Anyone else get acne on invega? I didn’t get it only my face but I got it on my back. I haven’t had bacne since his high school. I’m getting a lot better cognitively and my energy levels are rising but I still have the bacne.

Having a bad day. I just don’t get it. Two days ago I had a really good day like best days that I’ve had in awhile but today just woke up felt completely just not confident, feeling unsure , insecure, a burden. I did several things to try and feel better - taking a long walk, running, bubble bath, just not feeling like anything I do is helping. What could i possibly be experiencing? Is this anxiety? Recovery symptoms? Anhedonia? Depression? Or is this my normal issues coming bacback

A lot of us who recovered describe the early recovery stages as "windows" and "waves". You experienced a "window" of recovery, and now you're in a wave of invega again. As time goes on you will get more and more windows. Just hang on. If you felt the window, you got past the hardest parts.

I’m confused about his situation, I thought he was more or less recovered

He was aware that he was entering psychosis. He was too scared of meds and hospitals to get help. He tried to jump in front a train twice and missed it. His last post was talking of going to try again. He has never been gone so long since he has been on this forum so we all fear the worst.

I am afraid that killings yourself after invega is more statistically probable than recovery

I also had bad acne in HS (was on accutane) and had the worst acne since my teens when I got back on invega. It also seemed that I had some facial warts that spread very easily at the time. My skin cleared up 18+ months

I get fatigued more easily but I lifted about 80% of my max weight for three reps. I guess the weight gain has maintained my strength. I can’t run the entire 10km but jog slowly is doable. I just get more fatigued in the shins, so I can’t run more that 1x per week these days.

The mai. issues I have with this drug is that I can’t feel stimulants and I am bored senseless unless I am on the move focusing on something. Walking fast paced is my main workout on a day to day basis.

Yeah I try to run a mile a day but I get a bad pain in my knees. Never happened before invega. Also can’t lift near the same amount of weight as before. Really sucks. There have been people who have recovered all their strength and insurance in previous threads so it is possible. Just takes time.

Rebound psychosis happens to most people once they are recovered enough. That being said doing acid & shrooms daily is probably not a good idea for your mental health either

Yeah I think he even admitted to being in psychosis when he was talking about suicide. Hopefully he just checked himself into the hospital. As long as most of us stay away from drugs I think we should be ok. Most psychosis seem to be drug induced. Mine was weed related so I will be staying away from thc from now on. Invega as me realize how important sobriety is.

I agree and also depending on what you’ve gone through/experienced and had memories of, and your thoughts, that can all come back to you more intensely whereas before they were just sort of put on hold so those things that were prevalent before are now affecting you again right after going through something (recovering from invega). So if the initial problem wasn’t worked on it can return. I personally think cognitive therapy can be very helpful in recovering from trauma and self reflection through journaling , and self care can go along way as well. Also just having self love in general can help a lot.

The I’m really upset about Merek. He brought so much inspiration and valued input to this thread and his absence is definitely felt.

The dude just told everyone what they wanted to hear he was too optimistic to begin with. People are scared shit when they hear how most people have some permanent issues when its just fact of life. When you walk into a knife fight you get wounded and gets scars...same with invega

What are the permanent issues people are claiming? This is a drug, once it leaves the body the side effects leave as well there is no brain damage that’s nonsense.

Tell me then, what is the permanent damage? Anhedonia is caused by a lack of activity/hobbies for the most part. People who suffer long term are those who lye in bed all day instead of living like adults
 
@EsseWasGreat just checked in days ago and told us all about his recovery. He can feel coffee, alcohol, euphoria, what am I missing?

Some people have a pessimistic view of the world only complaining about how bad everything is. That’s why they’re lying in bed or at home all day, not because of invega.

withdrawals can take many years...six months antipsychotic use of shrinks the brain that is average lenght of an injection.
a guy just killed himself what you are saying is that invega got nothing to do with this ? He probably didn't live like an adult
the dude who started out this forum thread v1 still got permament issues eight years later he also made a thread on another website
Reality got nothing to do with pessimism
