I have been successfully losing weight lately. Even though it’s hard to work up a sweat from running, the calorie deficit does its thing. Lost a bit of strength in the gym as well, it’s only natural but worse on invega.

Also I have been reading up on failed recoveries on reddit and find myself thinking I will never be able to get a good buzz again, at least not as easily as before. That scares me because it means some permanent damage has been done. Sorry to bum you out with this pessimistic outlook. It’s just tough to take in that I won’t ever be the same. I hope I’m wrong

the probem Is your reseptors arnt working because of how invega blocked them for a long time and after invega It will take a long time for the reseptors to recycle and repair/regrow themselfs so that you can feel that buzz again

One redditor said he couldn’t feel substances at all after five years. No euphoria. I will go insane if that’s the case for me. I can’t live like a monk for the rest of my life
 
Hey guys- it’s been a long time since I’ve updated here, not sure if any of you even remember me, but I used to post on these threats pretty frequently in the first 6 months of my journey.

So I’ve been recovering, fortunately. I’ve been off of Invega for 11 months & 14 days. It’s been a long process to get where I’m at, and I still have a long way to go, but I’m glad im somewhat healing.

I’ve gotten to a point where I can hold a conversation pretty well- sometimes I slip up on words & stutter, or forget certain words, but it’s much better than before.

The main things I struggle with now are my motivation/energy & my memory. My memory’s gotten a lot better, but it’s still pretty bad.

I stay pretty social right now, and I do get fulfillment out of that, I even feel happiness when I talk to my good friends.

I’m not working right now, but run one of the biggest Garry’s Mod TTT servers as a hobby & (I doubt you guys will know what TTT is, but it’s pretty fun, I recommend it if you like video games) and we have almost 1000 members- and 20k players have played there, so I’m pretty happy to see that grow.

I won’t get into the sexual side in detail, but I’d say I’m like 70% recovered in that area.

Overall, improvements all around, but still have some ways to go. Thanks for all of your support.

Happy to hear you’re doing better! Hope you are able to enjoy yourself now that the worst is over.

How is your tolerance to coffee, cigs, etc?

Thank you for the update. Do you think you would be able to work if you tried?

I agree my hair has been thinning. Never happened before invega. I still have muscle spasm every once in a while. It feels like I have less control over my body.

I enjoy myself sometimes- some days it’s still pretty bad though.

My tolerance to weed and alcohol have dropped to nothing. I stopped weed in December because it made me feel weird, & was really intense with just 1 or 2 hits.

Alcohol, I drink every few months and it seems to work fine, I even had an enjoyable drunk night the other night.

Caffeine - it helps me wake up half of the time, the other half it just makes my hands sweaty & makes my heart feel like it’s beating too fast.

Nicotine- I can’t feel it, but that might be cause I constantly hit my vape.
 
I use sugar bear hair gummies they seem to help my hair . Trust and believe. Always remember that no matter what happens- there are things to help!!!!
