Why cannot I ask someone, If ever can the damaged brain can heal a Bit?

You will heal. It will be like you never took the shot. Just takes time. When was your last injection? I'm in my 7th month off the shot. I can feel a big difference but I know the medicine is still in me because I still can't get high or drunk. Maybe next month. Fingers crossed.

day 38 here, the akathisia and anhedonia are still pretty bad. I took two 234mg injections last one was 38 days ago. I felt cannabis normally, i did got an erection for the first time since the injection about a week ago, organism felt about half good from masturbating.. hopefully i'm going to recover soon!

You likely have a long way to go. I've been off the shot for 7 months. I've just recently started feeling better. For a lot of people the side effects get worse before they got better so prepare yourself just in case. Good luck. Just know, it does get better.
 
I think the best way to teach them a lesson and show them what Invega Sustenna does is by injecting it into their bodys and letting them experience it themselves.

How many shots did you take? I'm hoping since I only had 2 shots a week apart it hadn't built up in my system as much as some people
 
No it was 18,5 month and the right side of my brain is
away, also in my dream, No emotions, No Depression, only a very nervous feeling in my Body. I can nothing feel or do.Is there no brain surgery possible?

It's really word how the dosages and administer times work. Can the pills and injections even be compared in terms of milligram?

I had either 4 or 5 but there's been people who have only had 1 shot and suffer for months. IDK. Im feeling a lot of improvement but know the receptors are still blocked. I can't get high/drunk, feels effects of cigarettes or coffee. Can't get that full/satisfied feeling when I eat and my sleeping/dreams are weird/off.
 
I only took one 156mg shot of invega and have been suffering for 5 months so far. This drug takes forever to get out and ive never gotten better yet

Die Seite l?sst mich irgendwie keine privaten Nachrichten schicken, habe vergessen zu schreiben das ich aus Nieder?sterreich komme
 
@invega132 that is really worrying, I guess you're the least damaged though, most get at least two shots. How is your lifestyle different now to pre poison?

I had two shots 4 months ago and everything has stopped for me, no gym creativity energy, and introduced are extreme anxiety anhedonia insomnia and being bed ridden.

Anybody know at what point the interrupted sleep goes away i am sleep in sections right now it is extremely annoying ..its been 2 months since the 2 starter doses and 1 month since the maintenance dose .i am just hoping my regular sleep pattern comes back soon .also suffering from depression and the anhedonia isnt as bad but it sure is there .also constipation needs to go away as well uggh .
 
Day 39 here, the anhedonia and akathisia have lessened but are still very much present.. I have noticed some improvement since week 2... So far smoking cannabis has been very intense with low amounts and it's kind of intensified the invega, made me very nervous and anxious but then when the cannabis kinda wears down it feels just right and chill. Like as soon as I smoke weed it's too intense and amplifies the effects of the invega, but when the cannabis starts to wear off i feel ok. I'm going to smoke more tomorrow I'll keep you guys posted. I've heard cannabis can help people break through the invega so lets see how I feel tomorrow.

depression comes and goes with me, right now im not depressed. When I initially took the invega the first 3 weeks I was falling asleep at 2-3pm and sleeping for 13+ hours, waking up the next day, that went away about 2 weeks ago. Right now im on day 39 and feeling better then I was then

LUCKY! I haven't been able to feel any effects from weed in a year. I've been off the shot for 7 months now. Hoping I'll b able to smoke a blunt and enjoy it next month. Fingers crossed.

I bet u will feel a big difference within the next month or 2. Hang in there. I know it's rough. Hang on!
 
I hope this isnt the case that it will be a window period at 8-10 months but i am already preparing myself for it taking at least a year and some months to feel completely cleared out .i am just wanting back the ability to feel emotions deeply ,sleep more then 4 hours and feel tired,not constipated,sex drive and period back ..i will take not being able to get drunk or high if everything else comes back normal .

I would do whatever you have to and convince him the pills are working. Once you get an injection, it's game over brother. Maybe tell him you are deathly afraid of needles or have extremely sensitive skin that can't handle a needle poke. I would make it your sole life objective to not get injected.

I met my psychiatrist and heis agree to stick with pills. I was so scary because most people on forced treatment have forced injection
 
I literally just want to be over this hell .i been keeping busy working .but it not enough to pass by these months ughh .
