Its been nearly 10 months, I am so numb and yesterday I was going to post a desperate message but I didnt. Sudently, while I was listening to some music, I feeled an EMOTION! What a surprise its been a year since Im numb it gave me so much hope I didnt sleep all night! Even if it was brief but its been so long that I dont feel nothing

how are you feeling now that it's been a month?
 
i had one shot of invega 156mg around 3 weeks ago. I felt like i lost my happiness and motivation after invega but after 3 weeks i feel it slowly coming back. I still have sexual dysfunction but I have a hope that it will come back in few months. Keep it up guys

Okay, I don’t know if this is a update or this will be short lived because invega is a bitch. I drunk 2 cups of coffee and I am not aching today and I actually have energy not extreme energy not pre invega, but if I could feel this way until recovery I can make it. I still have emotions but today after 5 Kong’s month I’m not in pain and I’m not suffering 😀 like I said invega is a bitch and I’m pretty sure invega will knock my ass back down. Shit if I had emotions right now I would be so damn happy. I’m glad I have a day without pain

well i just stumbled into a supplement you can try out called Sulbutiamine. it upregulates D1 and D2 receptors, the receptors invega targets. it says in some places that it increases energy, improves mood, and boosts motivation but it's main focus is treatment for weakness and fatigue. if you're interested and willing to spend $20-$30 bucks, it might be worth the try if your window of improvement doesn't sustain.
 
Man I had so many hopes and dreams before invega... I hope by 3 years I can actually function again..... Some people haven't recovered tho. I read version 2 yesterday and it seems hit or miss about people's recovery. I hope so. I really do. I just don't see how this is legal to do this to people. It shuts off the most crucial aspect of life. Can't imagine what the afterlife is like for psychiatrists doctors and Johnson an johnson:)

hopefully you're one of the few that recover in just a few months but most people take longer than that. what do you mean by sexual dysfunction though? loss of libido? my libido and pleasurable orgasms came back after a month and a half. might not be the same for you though. some people take 1+ years to recover in that department.

i doubt you'd be one of the people that'd take years to recover. but it depends on your brain physiology i'm pretty sure and other things. but some doctors won't even let you leave the hospital without the injection and won't even listen to you and your suffering. they're one sided and cruel. i can't believe how that's legal. maybe you can sue them or make some kind of case. but most psychiatrists don't even believe in an afterlife. maybe God will give them what they want and put them into the non existence that some near death experiences report. some cardiac arrest patients report being above their bodies and watching doctors perform. some guy was outside of his body and he found his dog tags because of it and he returned through his 3rd chakra area just like some other guy. the area my mom believes God is felt. so i'm sure there is some sort of afterlife.
 
Yeah... There is... and you better beleive non existence is what these guys will wish after life happens..
Most likely tho
They go d spirit prison and are tortured.....
I just can believe invega.....
I hope after 3 years I can actually repaint my house and feel the effects from weed and have my emotions and energy back

yeah i'm sure they'd be better of in the nothingness. but i've heard some experiences about hell. they were all different so i don't know what one to believe in. they all equated on torture though.
i wanna ask why you're expecting so far into the future but i can't blame you since you know all these people who haven't recovered after a number of years haha. but idk if my lack of motivation is out the window right now because of invega since i've been depressed for so long prior, but i can't wait to do shit and get high again too. i miss getting high alot. i always felt more intune with my spiritual self, had more spiritual experiences, had more spiritual visions whether they were real or not; they were something to reflect on, experienced synchronicity and a form of mind reading more often, was more sensitive to emotions and new emotions which was amazing since i'm an emotionless creature, would have words i've never learned before pop into my head (idk wtf that was, maybe it's over now but i had an album of 250 screenshots of new words), and just felt more in touch with my soul. but now it's just nothing. back to my cold and calloused self.

Is abilify and invega depot pretty much the same thing?
Click to expand...

abilify is used to treat psychosis, depression, and mania. it also has less side effects i think. i've seen alot of people switch from invega to abilify and report a better experience.
 
I’m having a widow I can’t believe it. Yay yay yay. Damn 5 1/2 months off first window. Please I hope it gets better. I’m so scared it won’t last but it’s lasted all day. More talkative mild happiness, strength, and I’m not suffering and no body pain omg omg omg omg. I haven’t even looked at the forum today omg omg omg. Like I said I know this is just a window but yay god gave me a day of no suffering. Thank you god I love you.
 
Hey guys, 6.5 months off 2 loading doses followed by 1 month of zyprexa and 2 months of high dosage lithium. I am glad to say guys I have recovered. I'm back to exactly where I was before I got hospitalized. I fully believe all of you still struggling will get better.

It started with a small window every 1.5 months or so..about 3 weeks ago I got a bigger window but this time it only took 1 week to feel another window and for the last 10 days or so I've been feeling on top of the world. Believe it or not, I'm better than ever.

Paula great to hear you are having a window! It WILL get better.

Sbar, I felt exactly how you did all the time. I mean EXACTLY, but the only difference is I didn't post as much and tried to be a little positive in my posts. I even told you in a PM I might kill myself, BUT PLEASE DONT. It got better for me and it WILL get better for you. Don't worry about what you post too much, that's what this place for. God speed to you my friend.

Are you? Are you sure it's a window and not a wave?
Click to expand...
Dude it’s a window. A wave is when you feel horrible. I do not feel horrible not even now. I’m not suffering. I will let you know if it continues tomorrow. Look at how excited I was in my post yay yay yay 😀 I have a window omg omg pray pray pray. I have a day off from invega omg I can’t believe it. God answered me

fair amount of early recoveries i'm seeing here. very glad this page is active. it's nice to see people recover real time. especially early. over on the schizophrenia forum people were recovering almost twice that time and some more.
and i had the same experience of windows with sleep. except not as long. first time i got straight sleep, it took 16 days. second time 14 later. next time a week later, and then recently, a month and a half later, i'm getting straight sleep without waking up a few times throughout the night. it proves that the medication just trickles out of your system and over time you actually recover. some people are hopeless. but it's crazy how medication can take something near and dear to you and something very important for basic function and pleasant experience. like it literally takes the life out of you incost of curing your delusions and hallucinations. i'd personally rather be psychotic that way i can be human and just find a way to control my reactions to the symptoms and not let it influence my state of mind.
anways glad you're feeling better. hopefully you don't crash. i seen someone do alot better and then all the sudden he's back to the invega state. i pray that doesn't happen to you and that this is really it. take care man
 
Well I woke up today and as I knew it would happen it was just a window. Damn it this sucks. I’m once again back in suffering and I can’t believe this shit. Well at least I got a day off but I’m sad now. My kids were so happy yesterday and they ask me if invega was gone well I told them hell no. That invega bitch will die. I’m so weak and exhausted and can’t get out of bed. My head hurts my emotions are dead my life is once again over. Anyways I hope we all make it this is pure hell. God bless all of you and I’m so sorry we have to go threw this hell together. I still pray everyday. I do believe in god but why do we have to suffer. Right now my eyes feels so damn heavy and I’m so tired of bull shit everyday. Best of kick to you. Godspeed
