I received the standard loading dose of 234mg and 154mg initial dose on March 15, 2016 for a temporary psychosis due to drug use. This has been the worst experience of my life bar nothing. It has been the longest month of my life and I have read that the symptoms may never go away.. I suffer from severe anedonia and lack of interest in life, difficulty speaking and a countless number of other side effects, I don't feel human anymore... The only thing I do ALL day is sit and watch TV for twelve hours straight and then go to bed. The process then starts all over again the next day. I was forced to quit my job and drop out of school it's been horrible. Has anyone experienced a story of full recovery? I have done research on this topic for the past month and have yet to find a success story of coming off this medication. If anyone could please share a story of success it would give us all some hope.
 
The success stories can't be far away, it looks like decisive is close to recovered, its looking like ten months or six half lifes for most people. Got to say I'm getting close myself and if I can work on my fitness I think I'll be nearly recovered.
You should be through the worst of it after four months invegasucks, try reading version 1 to understand how the poison works and it does get better with time. Just a matter of getting through each day and at least you are able to concentrate to watch tv.
 
Decisive is fully recovered! She started exercising again at 8 months and fully recovered at ten months. There is way more recovery stories than we know too. Everyone recovers. Its just around 10 months that you will get your life back completely. I don't believe whoever said 2 years, maybe a year and a half at the most.

I am not doing better. I took Bromazepam which calmed me a little. I dont wanna take these medication cause they have side effects too. I have a different problem than everyone else here. I was misdiagnosed and I was not shizophrenic. I said I got murder threats and they didnt believe me even it was true what i was saying. they forced a healthy woman on these injections and ruined my life with that. every day i want to die cause i cant stand the effects anymore. it hasnt improved a bit yet. its too sad to be true. my whole life has been ruined.i always wanted to have family kids i cant even take care of myself with these symptoms . my mom needs to support me very hard. :(((( is see no way out i believe its permanent.
 
Yes, I'm fully recovered ! :)
I feel exactly like my prior state: a lot of motivation, emotions, interests, I'm very talkative, very deep and fast thoughts, and I'm never bored!
It took me about 10 months (6 half lives) to recover everything, knowing that I had in total 400 mg injected.
I let everyone know this big news at the page 10 of this second thread because I wanted to give you hope, I know what it feels to be stuck in a dark tunnel, but I swear that yes everything has an end and that there's a light at the end of this tunnel.
If you want to discover my progress, I started posting and sharing updates in this previous thread since the page 25.

Take care

Tina I sympathize with you. I feel similar in your boat, as I had a drug induced psychosis and it was getting better b4 I took the medication. I would tell the docs and fam I'm doing better but nobody was listening to me. They just keep wanting to force on you. The moment you act crazy in there mind they just wanna force meds on you. Like it's a 1 track sol'n to everything.
I would say 90% of us were given the meds when we did not need it. For many we were forced or pressured into it. Parents think it's the right thing to do cause the cops and doctors say u should take them. It's all just bullshit. No one needs these drugs, they just ruin lives for profit. Like they made less a 100 bucks from me, like if they wanted that profit I would have given it to those greedy basterds. Not only do they give meds hat don't help, they give us meds that cause horrific reactions, its insanity.
 
I'm starting to see my way through this whole thing. I've been walking a lot, biking, dancing. I'm not totally at the end of this tunnel yet, but I know I'm very very close.

Almost a full year since my last injection.

In my mind I keep seeing a dam. Water is sloshing over the top. It seems like it's about to start cracking. 'Feels a lot like when I came of Risperdal Consta. By week 9 I started to feel familiar energy moving through me. It progressively got better, but...
It was almost like taking 3 steps forward and 2 steps back, 3 steps forward and 1.5 steps back, and so on.
 
At last a real time recovery story to give people hope, well done decisive.
Not far off myself, all the side effects seem to be going gradually although just when you think the worst is behind you another wave seems to come where I get a cold feeling through my body for a few days.
The brain fog is finally lifting and I'm waking up feeling like my old self and not having to lie on the sofa for a couple of hours trying to gather my thoughts, I've actually got some motivation to get things done rather than just sit about all day.
Its looking like ten months to fully recover from the poison which makes sense now going on the information available, I think in a couple of months I'll be fully recovered aswell, what a journey, at least for people who have been harmed by the poison there is a thread available on the net that should be able to guide them through what will probably be one of there worst experiences of there lives.
Thanks to all that have contributed, I might not have made it myself without the information provided and the list of side effects that people had or are still having, there is hope, stay strong and don't let the poison beat you.

None of us understand what you're going through. Sure we can empathize but eventually it becomes sympathy because we aren't in your mind. Im 2 months away from my two year. I've held the knife but i stop because i feel something, as if a mother is staring at her baby.

Aiden have you improved with time, or u been the same for 2 years?
 
4 beers and 3 joints and woke up fresh as a daisy, maybe not the best harm reduction, but weed and beer are starting to work like they normally used to for me, only symptom I seem to have at the moment is not liking being cold.
 
We just exist without truly living because of a supposed medication, it's madness. It's been 2 months for me but no improvement :( Tina stay strong, I've said it before, we've all thought about suicide as the answer but it'll leave a bigger question for your family and friends. I think about it everyday too but I just hope there's a way out of this nightmare, I hope.
 
First day in almost 10 months I felt a kind of sexual desire. Feeling something is changing about receptors blockage, but I guess it is needed more time...
I think the appearance of sexual instinct has a correlation with venom elimination, it would be an indicator or signal.
By the other hand, waves still present.

it's improved. Alcohol and weed work, sex is nice. My faith in humanity is slim. I hold on to a concept that a fifth dimension exist and when i dream i'm there. My first dream was a week ago after almost two in a half years.

I'm coming back but it's been hard. It can take up to two years for receptors to return to normal.

I think i have cognitive damage but fuck it. Its better than month 1.
 
Just a waiting game now people
Try and return with your success story when the poison has been defeated
Your going to be famous
 
Hey I was reading an article how antipsychotics cause brain shrinkage, and the brain shrinkage OS what causes the negative symptoms we are displaying like lack of emotions etc
