In March, I was walking with my father and passed a man feeding branches into a woodchipper. I wanted to jump into it myself.

But now it's almost August and I don't feel that way anymore, so hang in there.
 
Just finished reading one more book today guys! It was the 5th of the year I think, or 4th, or 6th - I don't know, lol.
Next week, Monday, will start another one.

When did you stop the injections and how many were you on
 
'Went back and looked at some of my old posts. Turns out I was given Vraylar around October of 2018, not 2019. So just to clear up some misinformation, it would seem based on this that I recovered from Invega Sustenna after 3 years, not 4.

Year 1 to 1 1/2 was bleak. The turn of the year came soon after that and that's when I noticed the biggest improvements. Started to feel better, slept normal hours, got my second sight back. It continued to get better from there and about a couple months after 3 years off was when I finally was myself again.

When you got the shots did you experience the sensation of your brain being fried/burned? Also did you suffer cognitively and lose your social skills and personality?

Can you expand on what you mean by being yourself again?

When were you functional?

Nope! Not even close! 109lbs way softer, no muscle definition and I was a ripped freak! Legs look fatter, lower belly looks fatter, face looks fatter, just muscle definitions hasn’t come back at all. I heard being on antipsychotics for a year or longer will change your genetic makeup and from what I’ve seen in pictures of people who’ve said they’ve recovered none of them have good muscle tone at all!

Thats really unfortunate. Are you still working out? Are you the same weight or lighter than you were preinvega?

I am around the same weight, just with way less muscle definition. I will say at my lowest weight and leaness I was about 9 pounds less than this….but still. The muscle definition just isn’t there at all.
