2) Music used to be very emotional, now sounds flat, I cannot get emotionally attached, even though sometimes I enjoy listening, even get goosebumps. Used to touch my soul, this kind of thing. Was impossible to live one day without music. Now I kinda don't mind to listen. Makes no difference.

So is it like it's not worth listening to it, like putting in effort to listening it (while I for example, before invega, I didn't need to put effort to listen to music), and you get shit.

Exactly. I kinda try to simulate and act like it was before but I don't feel connected to it.

I used to search through YouTube to listen to new songs, read reviews, listening to sets, get excited about it.
I used to love to talk about it, show new songs to friends, getting addicted to a new one - listening to it all day.
Now I don't even go to computer anymore. Just stay on my cellphone.

It's some kind of anhedonia related?

It's anhedonia and more than anhedonia. One of things I'm having is numbness of experiences and numbness of feeling from emotion and sensory input.

Even when I would sense the taste, I would not actually feel anything positive or negative from it.
It could be the best taste in the world, I would not be able to tell the difference between dogshit and it.
Now that is at least half gone, and I'm not in absolute numbness.

Numbness of experiences is an original definition of anhedonia.

1) Time passes at a slow pace (used to be MUCH slower when I was taking risperidone, now I describe as slow in comparison to pré-antipsychotics).
2) Music used to be very emotional, now sounds flat, I cannot get emotionally attached, even though sometimes I enjoy listening, even get goosebumps. Used to touch my soul, this kind of thing. Was impossible to live one day without music. Now I kinda don't mind to listen. Makes no difference.
3) Alcohol I tried 4 or 5 times. 4 times I got nothing, only dizziness. Last time I was able to enjoy a little bit, got a little bit of euphoria and it improved my mood.
4) Coffee I don't know, never felt it tbh. Stopped caffeine due to this "derealization" condition (watched some videos relating it to anxiety and glutamate release, so decided to stop).

This "numbness accompanied by cognitive issues" gets better with time?

Damn I used to have the same experience with music. I hope we get this back and appreciate it even more

It’s not invega…. You are all delusional if you think it’s the shot. We’re all being drugged covertly somehow. It’s possible it’s a microchip that’s somehow entered our body.

Microchip? Youve been watching too much movies mate its the injection palileridone palmite organic compound
 
Do you guys think psychosis could lead to anhedonia, emotional numbness, difficulty to have conversations, cognitive functions, etcetera or it's 100% effects due antipsychotics?

I saw some posts about this on reddit. Psychosis itself demand a recovery, don't it? So even when you are free from APs your brain need to recovery from them and from the illness? Anyone know anything about it?

Music comes back 100% just like anything else that you can think of that the injections take away. I'm finding new stuff that I love listening to all the time after experiencing total anhedonia for so many months

I believe it took me roughly one year to experience it just like I did pre-injections

Can you please tell me if you had a case where Xeplion took away your thinking and creative abilities?

My experience is that my problems were not caused by psychosis because I remember that I was not given Xeplion immediately on the same day, but after 7 days. And at that time everything was fine. Only with the first injection did I feel some changes in my speaking and thinking abilities.

I’ve had psychosis twice , the first time I had it I was never treated with APs and I recovered from the psychosis without any symptoms whatsoever … this last time I was treated with APs and from the very beginning of my AP treatment I became totally anhedonic , cognitive issues , sexual disfunction , blank mind , no feelings no emotions …. It is definitely the APs and not the psychosis that causes these life ruining symptoms.

Nah, it's the damage from APs.
 
This may seem like a strange question, but have any of you experienced an inability to understand people with strange or foreign accents because of Invega?

Lately I'm starting to notice my ability to understand people is getting better again. Sometimes I can even understand what people are saying when they speak a foreign language. 'Weird symptom I know.

Yes, Xeplion did take away my thinking abilities for a very long time and I always believed that would never come back until I started noticing a few small improvements at around 6-7 months off
