You simply have to be in a caloric deficit. Change your diet to include loads of salads and vegetables. Buy low fat everything and stay away from caloric drinks. Coke zero instead of regular. Just so you know, lifting weights doesn’t burn much calories, you need to run. Daily powerwalks won’t hurt either. Get used to chicken and broccoli, fasting may help if you like big meals instead of many small meals. Good luck!

I bought a juicer and started juicing veggies i rapidly lost weight from that
 
During invega i like to walk on an incline to work up a sweat. Try sprinting intervals instead of long runs, I find it alot easier to go all out for 30 seconds x5 than run steady pace
 
I would also recommend hitting a tanning salon once in a while, or a sauna. Won’t improve weight but I feel 10 pounds lighter afterwards. Summer is coming up and I believe sunshine is a tremendous mood booster. I also think it flushes out the drug faster but can’t prove anything
 
I know it’s difficult but I got reminded by my father that people take drugs for all sorts of problems and still manage to exercise to a certain extent. Invega is tough, yes, but it’s not chemo therapy. All of us can absolutely fight the side effects of this drug if we change our mindset. We’re in the thick of it, nothing can change that. Be a fighter instead of laying down to this horrible «medicine». One hour cardio a day, let’s go ppl

Yeah I agree, cardio personally helps me a lot. Once I started increasing the amount of cardio I do daily, I noticed a lot of benefits. I go on three long walks everyday and run for like 20 minutes a day and am slowly trying to increase it.

I’ve been feeling just really unmotivated. I honestly don’t know how to shake that part. I only have peace whenever I’m sleeping. I wish I was as strong as all of you

Do you really think doctors around the world would perscribe a drug that has permanent side effects? Thats absurd. The people who claim they never recovered have defeatist mindsets, they are hypocondriacs. You are only as healthy as you allow yourself to think.

Plenty of people on this thread have recovered, thats why you don’t see them here anymore. This site is a place to vent negative emotions, it attracts doomers. It’s normal to vent negative emotions, but once they are back to normal they don’t feel the urge to come back.

Relax man we’ll be fine. Just make the best out of the circumstances for now. If you can do that, you’ll recover alot faster. I was also really depressed a month ago, still am often. But if you implement some routines into your day and stick to them, you’ll be on a fast track to recovery. Hell, yesterday I was banging my head to some music. I also went through anhedonia believe me

This is your opinion. If it causes very long lasting side effects it is more likely to create long lasting patients. Number of so called mental patients increased since antipsychotics were introduced.

Number of mental patients increase because we have better healthcare, let’s be real.

However, I do agree this particular drug is overperscribed.
 
Everybody here should have a winner mentality, you will make it eventually even if it takes long.
