I miss the euphoric feeling of weed as well. I think not being able to feel substances has to do with the receptors in the brain being blocked. All the drugs I mentioned earlier increase dopamine. So it would make sense that most of the drugs are blocked since the receptors in the brain are being blocked. Once the receptors clear of invega, I think we’ll be able to feel substances again.
did it ever come back? I am so concerned I won't be able to get high again
 
I smoked weed this weekend, it’s legal where I stay in Michigan. I noticed that it didn’t do anything at all, it’s like Invega really blocks everything. I was hoping I’d start laughing or feeling euphoric or something..but it was nothing at all
do you feel anything now
 
What symptoms were u facing that made you come off
My psychiatrist only took me off the injections because it gave me a severe restless leg. If my leg didn’t shake i would still be on them no matter what i told her. Straight away I experienced anhedonia, nausea, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, cognitive issues, zero personality, extreme fatigue. It fried my brain completely

Ya I am feeling all those and just want things to get better. Are you seeing any improvements; tbh 3 months is kind early to tell

my energy is better, my cognition is slightly better, the restless leg is not as bad, the anxiety is gone, my nausea isn’t as bad, my sleep is very slowly improving. I’m better than I was straight off the injections. Anhedonia is like 5% better

I cannot nap at all. I don’t get that drowsy tired feeling before bed anymore. I’ve got some pretty extreme insomnia now. I can’t sleep longer than around an hour at a time without waking. I get around 2-3 hours of sleep a night. One night I couldn’t fall asleep until 6am it was hell. I miss sleep and lie ins so much

So do I. From what you have read does this go back to normal
 
Has invega destroyed your guys spirituality? I used to feel so connected to everything and everyone now i feel souless and it drained all the life within me. I used to be a happy go lucky person who was always optimistic in any situation but now I’m the complete opposite. I think its the anhedonia

I am the exact same as you. Everything was going fine until I had pyschoiss and had to be out on this injection.
 
Guys do you think I will be able to get high again. I am just a huge stoner missing it so much. Getting high would get me through the day and kill my depression.
