Yeah Mental Blankness Is Horrible Because It’s Like I’m Trapped Inside Myself When Around People And I Can’t Express And Be Assertive The Way I Would Normally Be. It Makes Me Appreciate The Way I Once Was Able To Function And Just Express Myself. I Am Around Family And I’m Not The Same I Know People On This Forum Understand But It Seems Like NoOne Really Understands What I Mean…smh Its Been Horrible

It sucks not being able to defend yourself. I had my mom speak for me for the first 6 months. She would speak for me at the doctors and at my therapist. What is really bad, is she couldn’t convey how I was really feeling. Our parents have no idea what we are going through because they never went through anything like this themselves. We can’t blame them either. If you told me about invega sustenna before I got the injection, I would have brushed it off. Not being able to express yourself is one of the worst side effects in my opinion.

For me, the thing I want to get restored the most is the ability to feel refreshed when I wake up after sleeping.

Yeah that still hasn’t come back for me either, at least not like it was. It has gotten better though. When I used to wake up I was ready to take the day on. Now I wake up somewhat depressed.

For me, I want to regain my social abilities back. That’s is what is bothering me most.

I have to agree with you there!!! I have tried many, many times to watch, digest and understand the rules of American football but I have ADD so my brain gives up 😵‍💫 :ROFLMAO:

Lol I’ll admit from the outside American football is very complicated. Most American guys grow up watching and playing. Any other American football fans out there?

Can you guys talk about who you were and how after Invega you were changed. My personality is completely different

I would wake up in the morning and be out the door, or doing something around the house. I enjoyed buying house plants and loved buying candles too. I would take my dogs on car rides, walk them on trails too. I enjoyed playing music, singing, dancing. I would talk on the phone for hours with some of my closest friends. My personality now is completely different.. I wake up and just lay in the bed now. I stopped watering my houseplants that I’ve had for years, some of them have died. I don’t take my dog on car rides anymore, driving is only for things that’s important to me now, like going to work! I play music sometimes, but can’t say that I enjoy it. I tried smoking weed recently out of desperation to feel something. I’ve always been sensitive to everything, that’s what made me, me.

exactly, everyone has this same problem and I dont think this problem will recover. these doctors are sick
 
I cried today and couldn’t feel the emotion attached to it, it’s like taking an inhalation without ever exhaling.

How do all of you keep it together after going through this experience? What keeps you from being depressed or lifts you out of depression???

Idk dude, I just don’t believe ap’s should be long term. There has to be a way of dealing with it other than just meds

I dont believe it should be used for long term either

Nothing dude you just gotta accept your fate and be patient while your mind recovers from this

Don't listen to @t_xeplionhell if you listen to him you might as well wear a necklace made out of rock and walk around with that

After I recovered enough (around a year) I needed a year of therapy to help me deal with everything I went through.

It's hard to believe but you will get your spontaneity, laughter, and release from crying back. In 18 months you will see the way clearly

I play video games, go to the gym and watch tv shows. For the first 6 months that I was off the boredom was terrible and it was very hard to find things to do. Back then, all I could do was walk and watch tv.
 
After ten months of the shot I started getting irregular heart beats and crazy chest pain. I got seven more shots after that and I’ve been off it for 16 months and they’re just now starting to investigate my chest pain and irregular heart beats and everything. I have severe chest pain everyday. Invega Sustenna is a killer.
 
I am terrible at video games now. My reaction time is slower. And my hand-eye coordination is worse. My lack of motor skills are keeping me from driving right now.

Why did you take it so long? I couldn’t imagine 17 months of invega.

How is your motivation and emotions? I’m sorry that you are having chest pains, that’s awful!

I read a post someone wrote on Facebook saying that they’re 383 days off of the injection and still haven’t recovered… I’m afraid that I won’t get better.. reading that statement is discouraging
