@Invegakillsme I'm still suffering loss of emotions, low energy, low sex drive/loss of feeling in my dick, still have shit nights sleep. (Wake up lots) and many other things. I will never fully recover from Invega. But that's ok. I'll work around this shitty road block. Thanks mate. :)

If I ever win the lottery I will use every cent and sue the invega manufacturer here in Australia I'll make sure they go bankrupt too.

Any deeply sad severely depressed people on here who took invega injection?

Yea I was for a long I took the injection 7 months and I'm 8 months off I use to get deeply depressed I was suicidal for a while but I never mentioned it on here cuz i didn't want to get kicked off the forum... Just want to say I'm on no meds first off, and my adhedonia has lifted some I'm enjoying video games again and taking pleasure in music as well and I'm finding movies interesting again.. A thing I liked to do before Invega was think of suspenful movie plots and I'm doing that again I was suprised when I started doing that again.. O and my sex drive is functional again I have been a man hore lately.. How ever I'm not a 100% pre invega yet I got alopecia from Invega and my docter said my hair will grow back after drug induced alopecia, my body hair is still falling out so I'm hoping my hair will grow back after the 300 day mark but I don't know...

I do get minor depression now mostly becuz I'm feeling improvement but I want more so I fixate on what I dont have back and I get bummed out... But man I sure love playing games hours on end..

O.. And like said not pre invega I still can't get super pumped about stuff and I still can't cry when upset, but to be far I have been real upset lately so I don't know. Things aren't the same yet but I'm hopeful. And cognitively I'm better my thoughts are more clear I'm starting to have more opinions again.. Now I dont want to over think things, but it's like I'm rediscovering my self, well guys just remember u will transition back to ur selfs slowly. Atleast that's been my experience any way.... So if ur not feeling improvement try a old hobbie maybe a spark will happen.. And if u want my email is jo[email protected] if u want to talk....things will improve

Hi guys,

I have posted on here a while back and although I have been cured I still like to follow this thread from time to time.

Basically, I want to tell you to keep hope. This poison does go away with time. I had roughly 7 injections and I managed to recover within 6 months. I still have some weird spots on my arms and some on my face. Also, my mind doesn't function the same way it did before but its not too bad. I am currently on Latuda which is a much better drug and has almost no side effects...

To tell you about my story when I was placed on Invega I lost all ability to think. My mind was a complete blank slate and I felt so dumb. At the time, it was so bad that I had no creativity and couldn't think enough to do my job. Also, I lost a lot of motivation and energy. I became like a zombie basically. I just sat at home eating lots of food and watching GoT. Even smoking didn't give me any buzz or sensation. I gained 20 kg and it was impossible to lose any weight on the meds.

Eventually, I quit my job and stayed with my family for 6 months for recovery. I focused on losing weight and started lifting weights every day. Slowly, I managed to lose weight until I lost all 20 kg. I supplemented with St. John's wort to cancel out the Invega and Gingko biloba to improve brain function. At some point it was clear I was recovering and started to feel more active but was sort of depressed because I had no job. Smoking would now give me a buzz and I travelled to Germany whilst looking for work. I got back a feeling of excitement and tried visiting a whorehouse to see if my dick still works. When the hooker touched me I instantly got an erection and I had good sex with her. That's when I knew I had recovered. This took pretty much 6 months.

Now, I am on Latuda like I said and I can hold down a job. I have good energy levels, I am not fat and still hit the gym daily and eat healthy food.

If there is anything I could recommend you is that once you stop the shots lift weights every day. Commit to it because the fat loss will help get rid of Invega.

Don't lose hope!

I've had it out with my mental health team since they won't reduce my dose(the fucking retards say that they can't lower it beyond 50mg/4weeks, even though I clearly showed them how to). I am extremely tired and unmotivated because of this drug and I am also growing breasts which I might soon be producing milk from(I am a male). So, fuck that - I am quitting this shit. However, I am worried about what will happen to me as I withdraw. Tell me guys..

I had 7 shot 156 dose and I quit cold turkey I didn't have any Nagitive side effects from going cold turkey... I also was in hurry to get euphoria back in life I couldn't stand the adohenia that was a bitch, and equally important to get my hormones back to normal to avoid gyno, and to get my normal appetite back, Damn I ate alot of food constantly hungry ahh couldn't stand it

Your alright bro?I'll send u an email soon. My names John by the way. It sounds like your getting better that's all that matters is getting back to that pre invega form.
 
I haven’t really been on the forum as of late because it frustrates me that I see others improving and I’m not. (Although I am happy for you all) I’m two weeks away from a year since my last injection (5 total) and I have seen no improvement.

Did the improvements just happen overnight and you felt the difference? (For those who have seen improvement)

Are you all back to working?

Bro I had 3 injections over 5 months ago and I'll tell you that it made me severely depressed almost to the point of suicidal ideas. Hang in there.it may be another year or two before you get used to what your feeling. It sucks
 
It's gradual. You won't feel it instantly but you will realise at some point that you are feeling much better than before. For now just focus on gym, lose the fat (important) and try st John's wort.
