I'm not on it. I'm trying to get it out of my system. I had 4 or 5 injections. My last injection was November 2017
 
Hey guys. Coming up on 4 years soon.
I'm worried at the moment though. My receptors still binded, my metabolism still hasn't gone back. And my breathing is starting to slow down and get heavy. I think my body is starting to give up, it can only take so much abuse.
 
I am sorry Aiden, I also have no receptors and would do everything to change the situation!! Was it so hard for you all the time?
 
@Rosi, yes, it's still hard. However I am still looking for solutions.

@invegauser, nope. I still do ces every now and then but it doesn't really do much for me now. I never got the shots i was thinking about.

I can get high and/or drunk but it feels like I'm avoiding the deeper issue.
 
I think that focusing on how bad you feel will make recovery take that much longer. How about trying to be happy--fake it until you make it. Non-drug ways to feel better. Exercise. Go out and try to meet people. Take a class or two maybe. Try a new diet. Things like that.
 
I wish it were that easy. I try so hard to find interest in things or try to laugh and be happy. It's very forced and tiring. I'm just a shell of a person right now. I know time will make it better but it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel right now.
 
Hi invegauser what kind of birth defect would warrant such a fucked up horrible poison as invega being given to you I was put on it for the terrible anxiety benzo withdrawal gives to you these so called doctors can never be forgiven for what they have done to us all and all the suffering it has caused us how can they believe in all the shit the big pharma tells them about how great their shit drugs are
 
Not me. Still feeling like a shell of a person. Been off the shot 4 months. Wish time would go by faster. Can't wait to get this out of my system.
 
@steph78 it's approaching 6 months for me and I don't feel any better myself. We have to hang in there tough man
 
Just checking in to post an update.

Last injection was May of 2015; 156mg I believe. Nearing year three after what will most likely be another terrible birthday. I don't know what much to say except I'm pretty much past the curve. The hardest part is over which I guess is like phase three or whatever the fuck. So not sure what to say in that regard. Waves and windows have reached a steady decline to the point my windows and waves have pretty much meshed. Feeling good mostly as far as imagination and creativity but because of the atrophy... there have been some... side effects. Needless to say people steer clear of 'that thing'.

At any rate, it's been nice to come here and chat. I hope the rest of you kids set off on new directions and hold onto your friends and family and all that good jazz. I'm going to spend the rest of my evening pretending I'm not an empath and that virtually everything around me makes me feel pain for some reason.
 
Hey guys it?s been some months since my injection and i feel very stupid and feel like half of my brain isn?t function. Honestly I don?t even know how I?m typing this. I?ve lost all my appetite, I?m suicidal, and I can?t sleep at all. I feel like quitting cold turkey was the biggest mistake of my life.
