@Inv33 don't worry, your sexual function is quiet resilient, take things slow. For the first 2 months just do some light exercises, very light, don't exert yourself. Then you can pick up the intensity later. Yes the sexual function will come back. It takes longer for muscle weakness and cognitive function to recover.
 
Thank you for your response. Have read so much bad about this drug and unclear responses on going completely back to normal. I could definitely tell a difference in my performance after taking this drug. I also take gabapentin as well and will be tapering off that. Yeah I went to a hospital forcefully after a argument and they had me take two shots apart of the agreement to be released. My life was so much better before May of this year and really wish I could go back to feeling like my old healthy self again. My year started off good and ended up not so well. Good luck to anyone who is taking these medicines and suffers sexual dysfunction from it scary thing to discover.

Do you have personal experience from recovering from it?

Hello and happy holidays everyone! I hope everyone is well and I wish you all the best. I can honestly say I am improving rapidly after all this time. I feel that as quite a few have stated (18 months) - I feel like I will be fully healed at that point.

Very often lately I have moments that are fleeting but feel even better than before I 'became ill' with 'invega poisoning.' I feel better on the whole than I have in the 15 months since this mess. The brief windows are assurance that not only do I feel okay again, a new life is coming.

I read a comment "maybe people don't get better they just get used to it" I am here as a first person witness to assure you that is not true, there is healing. I am not sure how invega has affected you, but there was no way of 'getting use to' my intense, life altering symptoms.

I had intense Akathesia, as I could not stop pacing for several months. I could not stop drooling for several months. Last Christmas family members wept and said things like "You used to be an intelligent person". My heart rate was effected for nearly the first year!!!

I also physically perspirated and excreted oily residue constantly. I had sexual dysfunction that lasted several months and diarrhea for over a year. I had anhedonia so severe I would not even turn on an entertainment device. I could not get high or drunk.

Those were only the most persistent and troubling symptoms. Believe me, my life was destroyed in many other ways. There is no faking that. Those symptoms are all crushed now. I would almost consider this my "success story or "healing story" but I know the best is yet to come.

If you doubt any of this, look back on all my posts, timed and dated. Chin up guys, things do get better. I know it doesn't help a lot to say that, because to be honest I didn't believe people after nearly a year of suffering.

After a great deal of time I started to heal and for the first time I am posting this from the heart and it's exactly how I feel, and not just to help others feel better about the situation while simultaneously lying to myself. Chin up guys, everything will be fine. All good things in all good time.
 
Thanks copper, your post gave me relief.
I’m onto 10 months next month, I guess summer is not too far
It feels like this feeling you’ll be stuck in forever and I really want to move out have my own place and work
How is the memory is it back 100% do you remember everything 15 months later, every moment of your life ??

My memory is pretty messed and I don’t feel much, this sucks but if I have to wait another 6 months then be it I’ll get through it

Do you feel affection fear all those little things again?? God bless you and stay away from drugs in the future. You keep going alright. :)
 
BREAKING NEWS:

Anyone suffering from cardiovascular issues I have found a soultion to that I read online about trying to cure heart arrhythmia and SVT naturally and I stumbled upon a site that reccomends magnesium, selenium, and idodine. I went to GNC and got 400 mg magnesium 2 pills a day and selenium 200 mg once a day. My resting heart rate went from 71-72 resting heart rate with palpations to 60 with limited to no palpitations in less than a week. There's a good chance the poison gave us a magnesium deficiency which is the main cause of heart problems. My cardiovascular symptoms have almost completely disappeared and I will try to not run because my body still gives up on me but do the eleptical to see how my heart rate does now. I used to go into peak heart mode rate (I have a Fitbit) now i will see how significant the vitamins are when cardio vascular excercise is used.
 
I laughed the hardest early this morning joking with my mum, and been little playful
Guess things are starting to change :D smash invega

No problem. I honestly feel better than I imagined possible even just a few weeks ago. To answer your questions, yes, now my memory is well intact. However I only experienced short term memory loss.

An example would be forgetting the end of my sentences as I was speaking and the direction of the conversation in general. Through this I learned that people don't listen or care nearly as much as you would assume them to!

Aside from the physical symptoms such as Akathesia, drooling, cardiovascular problems and weight gain, anhedonia was the biggest son of a bitch to overcome. Honestly anhedonia encompasses much more than the ability to take pleasure in things or entertain oneself. Anhedonia was definitely the longest lingering symptom and the worst.

The first couple of months of this invega bullshit I wasn't functioning highly enough to even operate electronics, let alone visit and post here. The next couple months after that I would make very basic one line complaints, and was not very articulate.

Like I said if you look back on all of my story, I struggled for well over a year and then i unexpectedly descended into a rapid recovery that in the back of my mind I didn't think was possible. I have been feeling this way a while now it's not just a "window".

Merry Xmas everyone. Rosi, in the holiday spirit I hope you heal soon and are okay but we also want to make sure to not drive others away. You will come to a solution Rosi, no worries. If I'm not on for a few much love and look up not down.
 
How many injections of the poison did you get copperdome I think the withdrawal from invega is about the same as that of benzo withdrawal 2 and a half years usually to see you recovered depends on how many shots you received any way have a good xmas
 
Who’s saying 2 and half years to recover? Are you alright
Copper had 2 and I had 4 injections
I don’t think it’s right for you to give us a timeline when your not even recovered and at a year off. Maybe tell us how long it takes to recover when you have actually recovered. thanks

I wasn't giving anyone a timeline it was that I read it can take up to that time for dopamine receptors to heal orrenew after been ireversibly blocked and the more shots you have the longer it takes I just hope we all get well soon anyway have a good xmas I didn't mean to upset you
 
I was thinking dostinex or parlodel? Maybe Wellbutrin? Are their any supplements to take that would help restore what it does or detox this drug out of your system? I've read there are other things to take and if so has anyone tried them and saw results from it?

Don’t worry it’s just frightening, one year is long enough to wait.. 2 Years or longer will be hell
I’m close to one year, and I can’t go on any longer than I already have, I don’t have it in me I’m down on my knees

Anyways merry Christmas guys
 
I read one review where a person had one injection of invega
He left his jobs dropped out of college and hated his life :s 2 years later
Guess he was still affected by it

Honestly sometime you feel like your recovering but your really not... this drug makes it hard for you to even tell if your making improvement so it’s hard for me to believe when someone says they are recovering :s nobody knows to wut extent you recover
You have to go through it to find out

Just checking in guys and girls. Merry Christmas! I'm doing really well. I haven't forgot about this thread. :) I feel the melancholy is finally leaving me slowly and my short term memory is improving. :)
 
Here's hoping you guys do all you can to recover in as unique a manner as each of you individually is unique as a person, to find your path to sustained health!
