Day 166

I had a window less than a week ago and I am disappointed it was just a window. Since this moment, things haven't improved. In fact, in some areas it has gotten worse.

@iridescentblack : I am glad you've officially healed.
 
@Hypocondryack How do you know that you're at 0.2mg? Have you made a test? I think I'm gonna make a test soon. I also believe that the drug will one day fully leave the body. At least I hope so, I couldn't live with it! I hope that the full human sharp vision comes back! And the max dopamine. There's just no end in sight. How many months are you off?
 
Hey guys I took Invega Sustenna for 3 months at 234 mg and Abilify Maintena for 3 months at 300 mg. If I have been off invega for about 10 months and Abilify for 7 months how long do you think it'll take to be fully recovered? Do you guys think the Abilify is causing anhedonia? I'm at a 75 percent recovery rate about now thankfully.
 
@Rosi71 I still had dreams on Invega and after. The level of realism and expanse of colors in those dreams has changed over the years. Sometimes I have vivid dreams. Other times they are plain and dull. Even now, sometimes my dreams are boring.

@lexman53 I have had no experience with Abilify Maintena. I could only assume it would take longer to leave your body than Invega Sustenna. I'm not sure if Abilify causes anhedonia but with such a high dose intramuscularly, probably yes.
 
@lexman53 : welcome to the thread. You could almost be done with the invega withdrawal. Most people recover from invega in less than a year although there are negative exceptions.
Could you tell us what are the remaining symptoms?
 
I literally depend on caffeine to feel normal at this point once it wears off I feel dumb & invega?d again

I?m almost at 8 months
 
Day 167

Today is pretty good. I had a good night of sleep or a good day of sleep should I say because I slept from 10.30 am to 7.30 pm.
Sleep in regulating my mood is kind of crucial. I know some people libido is low and time seems to be dragging. In fact, for me it is the complete opposite, I have hypersexuality and it sometimes severe, like I can't keep myself away from marsturbating. I have to do it at the very least twice a week. (I am trying not to do it, to have a sort of spiritual and sexual cleanse but it is almost impossible). Plus, time passes super fast, the last 5 months feel like it was just 3 weeks, no joke.
In term of quality of life and how normal I feel, I'd give it a 7.5-8 out of 10.
 
@Empty1128 I'm sorry to hear that. Healing can happen at any time though, and just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. Maybe practicing stuff would help? Rebuilding some of the neural pathways? Do you have some of your cognitive abilities back?

I wish we could all hang out and be invega impaired together.
 
Anyone else experiences a stiff neck? As if there were no neck muscles at all, just bones and some destroyed nerves. I can barely turn my head around..
