I can do before and after pics for when I was 8 months off the Invega and hadn't worked out much at all compared to an after pic of the weight I was able to lose and muscle I was able to build once a lot of my energy and motivation came back.
Its been about 6 weeks of working out with moderate intensity for me and my goal is to be back in fighting shape for the next local mma card in my area, which is August 16th. If people need/want concrete proof that the Invega won't hinder your ability to workout forever I'll post pics around that time.

@Tina I think you already saw the video... Of Ross Jason.... He got over 1 year of shots.... That's a lot of shots.... Btw. If you could cry I think you recovered your emotions.... I still can't cry... It's been 3 months since my last shot.... How many shots in total did you get?
Post a before and after pic. Also, how long did it take for you to be able to work out... I'll be on my 4 month and I still can't work out... How many months total did it take for you to work out?

Alright I will.
It took 8 months until I could workout with moderate intensity 6 days/week like I am now. But I did my best to still workout periodically even in the early months when I got off the injection. Even during month 1 I tried to force myself to exercise like once or twice a week. That being said, I have more of a "need" to workout than the average person since I'm pursuing a career as a professional mma fighter. So I know that if I don't workout the chances of me having a successful career and a successful life go right out the door. That has definitely been a swift kick in the ass for me this entire time I've been withdrawing from Invega. Still, these "workouts" we're sometimes something as simple and as light as taking my dog for a 15-20 min walk and doing 25-50 push-ups.
My diet was complete shit though. I was too damn depressed to give a f*** what I ate. Instead of eating my normal diet of say grilled chicken, almonds, vegetables with coconut oil, and primarily nutrient dense, healthy foods...I'd be eating giant cinnamon/sugar pretzels, sugary cereal, ice cream, snickers bars and shit like that. I didn't gain a lot of "weight" per say. In the 8 months of doing minimal exercise I only gained little under 10lbs. But I lost substantial muscle mass and strength while still gaining weight, which meant my BF% skyrocketed.
But if I learned anything from working out during month 1 and onwards, I'd say it was that I quickly found I could "force" myself to do things if I felt I absolutely had to. However, that didn't mean I enjoyed it like I normally would. It wasn't until month 8 that I was able to fall in love with training all over again. Around month 6 I was able to somewhat get motivated to workout more. Music was a little more enjoyable, I had some more energy and stuff like that. But month 8 was definitely when the Invega symptoms that were impacting me in a negative way physically, alleviated substantially. Which, in turn, alleviated a lot of the negative mental symptoms like depression. I think my depression was induced by Invega but exacerbated by feeling as though I was stagnant and making no progress in my life. If anything, I felt like I took ten steps backwards because I had to drop out of school, quit my job and stop training. But I feel confident that I can get my life back on track right now. For those of you have have worked out a lot in the past but don't know because of the Invega, don't get too down about it. Remember, muscle memory is a beautiful thing. When I was finally able to weight lift and train again I started building muscle, gain strength and lose fat FAST.
Anyways, I know that 8 months seems like a long time. But when I was in the earlier months, I didn't think I'd EVER enjoy working out or want to compete again, period. So I'll take 8 months of being miserable and not wanting to workout over a lifetime any day.

Have you been to the doctors to see if theirs any in your blood? If so can you go to the doctors and let us know if their is any in you blood.... I hope you 100% heal.
Attention everyone.... Those that have been off the injection for 8 months to a year, CAN YOU DO BlOOD TEST TO SEE IF THERES ANY INVEGA IN YOUR BLOOD? It'd be good for those to get a blood test to see if any is in the blood that way we can have hope....
@Aiden you have been off it for 2 years and still feel no improvement... Can you do a blood test to see if any is left in the system.
please guys, I think those that are having sexual problems and have been off it for 10 months still have some in the blood.
@Koz26 can you see if their is any in your blood.
@Tina3000 you have been off it for 1 year. Get a blood test to see if it's still in your blood.
Also guys, call 1800Janssen and report your problems.
i still can't loose weight no matter how little I eat.... When will I start loosing weight... This is going to be the 4month I'm off this poison.
again guys, please check if theirs INVEGA in the blood. It will give hope to know that it's just a waiting game and that nothing is permanent.

I've asked my doctor about this and he claims there isn't a way to test for the levels of Invega in my blood. Which I know is a fallacy, but he is convinced the Invega was out of my system by the 3rd week so he doesn't see the point in testing for the levels of Invega in my blood anyways.

Hey folks ! How are u'all ?
I would just like to mention that Invega is doing a bad job at fucking up people minds! Because mine has just recovered! I was on tablets from March 2015, and just stop by my own decision this March 2016.
So far so good, I am going out with my friends, drinking beer, having a lot of laughts and long conversations during all night long. Sadly I can't smoke with them again, but it's okay, I can handle it, I keep the cigars
My motivation is back, I am starting to going to concerts, going out to watch football match... this saturday I will go on a lunch with a new girl I will meet. So things are going happy and smooth :D
I can easly watch a movie, without losing the whole script while reading the subtitles, this is amazing! (I couldn't do it before)
And I already lost around 6% of fat mass and gain around 8% of muscle mass (sadly the weight is the same), so far this is amazing :D
This was last saturday dawn, after a night of a big concert and then a long covnersation with a friend talking about my psychotic blackout
I was gazed at this sunrise while listening to some Pink Floyd tune, Shine On You Crazy Diamong :D
What about BadRobot? I don't read from him for a while...
@mister ti your inbox is full
Did you felt some of the psychosis symptoms coming back?
How was the withdrawal pain?

Hi guys
One of this days I stop taking the pills for 5 days and I felt my brain moving inside my head and some mild headaches. I think this meds are very invasive to the brain.
Is it normal to feel like I cant recall words and places and does it come back after quitting?
Thanks to you all

Not even headaches? Or restlesness?
Good job about your recovery do you feel like you are similar to what you were before meds?

We should call 1800Janssen and ask if there's a way to fully recover. If not I think we should all get compensation. This is ridiculous.... I fucking hate Janssens and Johnson and Johnson with a passion...... Can you try a blood test to see if Amy's I. Your system. Jmorin checked after 7 or 8 months and still had a little. Maybe you still might have some..... The body is suppose to naturally heal itself.
You should be fine if you never got the injection.... If you didn't get the injection, you are blessed.
Hi guys sorry to bother you guys.
i called 866 977 7244. And they said their is a natural cleansing that can fully get Invega Sustenna out of the system.... If you get the book "clear body clear mind" theirs natural ways to get Invega fully out of the system..... Invega can be stored in fat which is a problem.... Fat is almost impossible to eliminate the drug.... Check it out guys.
