Some say they get dumber as if they were rocket scientists to begin with 😂

I have been tested by professionals for my IQ, a few months before invega, around 1 month off invega and 23 months off invega. Before invega my IQ was around 160, 1 months off it was around 95. And now 23 months off, my IQ is 130.

Some users may have had severe side effects, no doubt, but 99% of us have the same anhedonia, sexual dysfuntction and more or less fatigue. These are all common to all of us. They are natural side effects of dopamine blockage.

You see, it also blocks 8 other chemicals (you can check it on site - DrugBank used by manufacturers), some of them are responsible for intelligence and memory - you can research this easily. The psychiatrist on video apsucks posted also confirms it.
And someone might be more affected by Invega depending on neurons size, metabolism, immune system and other factors.

Yes, both my cognitive ability and motivation are coming back. I am still not able to create a conversation with new people however. I do have thoughts in my head again though. I also go to the gym and take care of myself, so the motivation is improving.

I’m confused are you’re cognitive abilities coming back or no? Because invega blocks serotonin and dopamine and other receptors that deals with motivation, learning, communicating, memory and sexual functioning. I was wondering what effects have you noticed have gotten better? If Any

I believe recovery is possible… I was just curious about how Invega Have Been Affecting You

Your job is boring by default, I know people who work it. But anhedonia and numbness from invega takes boring things to extremes.

My job isn’t always boring. We do some bookkeeping and reconciliation which is boring yes. But we also prepare annual accounts, business combinations, assist in financial audits, tax returns, etc. I haven’t noticed any difference in my cognitive abilities.

Just constantly watching football on TV is also not something you should do while having anhedonia.

Why not? I enjoy watching football. I just can’t feel a dopamine rush like I used to.

Btw I think your posts like this will just make other members panick.

I don’t think my posts are discouraging. I write about the common side effects that all of us experience. The denominators. I also write about how they can be overcome and keeping a positive outlook. All my side effects have gotten better.

I’m not the one who thinks this medicine is a disaster.

It is terrifying how invega strips away such essential things, it strips away the point in living completely.

^ Does this sound encouraging to you?

I think this «poison» has a lot of negative side effects, but nothing permanent and nothing debilitating. With the right mindset you can work, exercise and keep daily routines.

I agree with you that things we used to enjoy may have become boring. I feel the same way. But nothing extreme to commit suicide over. I felt a big difference after a month off the drug, but that’s just me perhaps.

because it changes your brain and induces deformations and damage which take time to recover.

Really? Are you sure? Are you a doctor? I feel better now and still have 50 mg medicine last time I checked. When the medicine leaves so will all the side effects. It doesn’t change brain structure, this isn’t surgery

I don’t think all doctors know what is the best for us in the long run. A doctor wouldn’t know what a medication does until the doctor takes the medication for him/herself. I don’t think doctors are deliberately trying to hurt us. They are hurting us with the best interests in their mind.

I really doubt this drug would be administered all over the world if it was so dangerous. A few shots aren’t going to hurt anybody permanently. I worry much more about the underlying psychosis than the drug. Not saying you didn’t go through hell, but it gets better

I also notice the people that complain the most were all «misdiagnosed». They don’t seem worried about psychosis.

Maybe they would recover faster if they would deal with their menntal health instead of focusing all their energy on the drug. Just my two cents

It litteraly blocks dopamine and serotonin receptors and some others. Thats a structural change, and even when it leaves the system it takes awhile for the receptors to upregulate.

This forum is kinda negative offering emotional support should be number one

Yeah it blocks dopamine and serotonin you are right but once the half life is completely eliminated from your system in 5-6 50x days which is roughly 300 days since your last dosage then you should see the real improvements It takes about 12 - 18 months to recover some cases 2 years, I've accepted this theres nothing I can do Im not gonna cry about it Im gonna be strong until it completely leaves my system

If you’re on it 5+ years in high doses, I believe it can be dangerous. However, psychosis is also very damaging. Doctors have to weigh the consequences to our health. Psychosis vs AP’s. I am happy I got the jab, I had strong paranoia and it affected my mood. I feel normal now. I hope I don’t need medicine long term.

I believe this fear of big pharma and disbelief in doctors is all rooted in paranoia and psychosis, it’s irrational and doesn’t make sense. This kind of thinking is dangerous in and of itself, which is why many are injected to begin with.

What makes sense to me is the government want us healthy and strong so we can work and pay taxes.

I believe big pharma has the ultimate goal of making money. But it is not they who decide whether we need medicine, it’s the doctors and the state.

You dont have so big side effects you are able to work and go to the gym.. Some of us can barly get out of bed so yes i think that doctors dont know what kind of poison this acctualy is. If you are not suicidal and after two months still can funkcion then believe me you don know what hell of a drug this is.. Lucky for you..

My cognitive abilities are coming back. I do have thoughts in my head now. My cognitive abilities have not come back fully however. I can’t carry a conversation with a new person or a person I haven’t seen in a while. I can carry a conversation with my family though. I think it is because I am more comfortable around my family. I can learn, I am motivated and I have a good memory again. My Communication is unfortunately at a 50% though.

I just feel so empty and numb. I don’t know how I can cope with this. I have been feeling extremely depressed. How have you guys been emotionally.

My Depression was very strong for the first seven months. The Depression caused by invega sustenna is not a normal type of depression. It is chemically-induced depression and it is unlike anything I have ever experienced before. Just know, you are not the only person to go through this. I was very empty and numb at one point. It felt like I had no conscious. Your mind will come back to you eventually.

I have a degree in biochemistry, and I provided quite a stash of research in past thread. But even you can read certified labs researches and books on biochemistry.
Receptor protein interactions fall into biochemistry. <edited out unnecessary inflammatory comment - SMod>

Receptor proteins are prone to deformations from such strong long lasting antagonists.
