@Invegolas i keep going back to smoking weed heavily which somehow is causing a brief psychotic disorder also family who keep thinking something is wrong with me even though its a part of the withdrawal from invega meaning looking odd and acting weird lol
@majeed I to lost my confidence, on another note I get bad social anxiety now because I struggle with connect with people, sense I lost interest in everything like movies music and hobbies it's really hard to talk about myself and find things in common with people, most of the time I end up Just asking the person I'm talking to questions about them. Most of the time I just tell people how my day is going and talk about work, I consider my conversation shallow..... But man I miss my ego, and wanting myself to look good for females and in general, another issue Im having is well my libido has some what returned I do get natural erections so I have been having sex regularly but just one night stands, but yet again no emotional connection I can't properly convey my feeling to some one I want a relationship with.and don't get the butterflys or a rush for some one find attractive and I struggle to think of compliments to say. I just feel so fake, I know I have said this before, but I feel strangely handicapped.
Luckily I have a hand full of friends that have known me for years so they know how I was before invega, and I explained to all my friends how invega changed my personality, and why I'm so quiet... I really don't think I can make new friends at the moment

stop saying shit, people have said, have lived the same hell that we some have more luck than other hope to have the same luck and I hope to be in their camp .. people have very well recover libido, thoughts and even emotions after that
Hi all, we're approaching 4 months since my husband's last injection. I have seen seen some improvement but it is still very difficult. Continues to suffer from insomnia, anhedonia, constipation with abdominal pain and suicidal thoughts. We have been reading through the old forums and found quite a few recovery stories. Im thankful for all of you sharing your experiences and it's a relief to know we are not the only ones. I see a lot of people suffer from libido issues. I would say his libido is low but he is able to function properly. it seems like there are "waves" periods, he will feel really bad like he's not able to keep fighting. I try my best to support him and I think it's an important part in recovery. Now he is able to play video games which is a good distraction. Gaming was his thing pre invega. His gamer tag on ps4 is BROWN_MAMBA_KING if anyone wants to keep him company. Also his email is [email protected].Hi everyone,
New to this site and looking for some hope for my husband. A little over 10 yrs ago he served in the Army and did a tour in Iraq...combat. he was diagnosed with PTSD. Fast forward to December 2018...we were just about to get married and all my family was coming to meet him in person for the first time. This was definitely nerve racking for him as a combat vet with PTSD. He went to the VA and his psychiatrist suggested invega sustenna. He was given the loading dose 234mg and then a week later 156mg. Soon after he started with the usual side effects. Tremors, shuffling, kinda sedated, restlessness(severe). Well he never went back to get anymore injections due to the side effects he experienced. Sometime in January 2019 those side effects went away but he seemed so depressed, then anhedonia, insomnia, constipation with abdominal discomfort. He was not able to even cry. I just thought this was a bad case of depression from his PTSD but them we started researching Invega sustenna and the withdrawals.
I can say I'm seeing minimal improvement. In late February/early March I started him on supplements and eating healthy. On 3/17/19 he was able to cry, one tear. On 3/20/19 he was able to cry more tears. on 3/23/19 he stated he kind of felt like himself for a brief moment but it went away. He has very little hope that he will recover from this.
After tons of research I started giving him some supplements. I'm not sure what combinations we have tried because there have been so many. Fish oil, magnesium, 5-HTP,Ginkgo Biloba, Lithium orotate, L-Theanine. Yesterday 3/23/19 he started Same-e, niacin, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, continuing with fish oil and multi vitamins. I make sure he doesn't eat bad. Everyday for lunch he has a shake that has spinach, kale, blueberries, mango, banana, apple, almond milk and coconut water. He just started drninking alkaline water. We also ordered an ionic foot bath, it should be here be Wednesday 3/27/19. I've been researching how to eliminate this poison from his body quicker!! I found great info on the alternative to meds centers website. https://www.alternativetomeds.com/services/holistic/neruotoxin-removal/
