I am 8.3 months out from my last injection and I still can't get high properly, drunk or get a buzz of nicotine. I've heard it usually takes no longer than 12 months for it to return but it feels like forever at the moment. Otherwise at this point I feel pretty good, very little anhedonia, my sleep is restful but I still feel a bit sedated and feel like I could sleep all the time. In fact I do take random naps during the day but it's a million times better than the awful restlessness I had before where I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to. I'm one of the people that lost their appetite from invega (most people gain an appetite) and it also hasn't returned. I have a feeling it will return along with my ability to feel drugs. Last thing I wake up sweating every day so I'm assuming that's my body getting rid of the last of the drug which is kind of a good sign. But yeh I was suicidal for a few months and I feel nothing like that anymore, so for anyone strugglying don't give up. It will feel like a lifetime but usually the only people who don't come out the other side are people who are schizophrenic and require AP's to calm their mind (my friend does). Also I rarely see people who have really bad side effects from pill AP's in here but some of them do, usually they just need to swap over to a different AP pill and find what suits them. Anyway going a bit off topic, I hope this helps you. I remember when I used to sit on the furom all day but these days I feel good enough I don't feel I need to be here so I won't be posting as much about my recovery. I'll probably make one or two more posts once my ability to feel drugs, my appetite and normal sleeping comes back.

I’ve heard some cases of people never really gaining back their ability to get high. That scares me a lot

Did you lose the weight?
 
I know I've asked this a couple or few times, but who has been on risperdal, gotten off, and then were able to feel substances? How long did it take? I know very well that this is an invega page, as I have been on invega before risperdal, but I'm just curious when I could potentially get high or drunk again. I read somewhere it could take up to 12 weeks for the risperdal to be completely gone, so I'm just going off of that.

I was on risperdone for about 2 months and it took me about 4 months to feel substances again

Do you get a body high?

I haven’t tried weed but I tried meth, coke, kratom and alcohol. Alcohol gave me the strongest buzz by far but it was basically a body buzz, no happy feelings like it’s supposed to be. Coke did absolutely nothing at all. Kratom does nothing at all. Meth gives the energy without the high, total body feeling.
 
Hey. Ive been on risperidone back in 2015 and i had the effect of alcohol cant get me drunk and weed xouldnt get me high. If i rememve right. It took 8 months after i quit to be able to feel a buzz again

What medication are you on atm?
 
I cant remember the name. Its not invegga sustenna. One of the old antipsychotics. Im being forced to take it by a community treatment order. I really dont want to be on it but the government is forcing me to take this against my will. How long until this community treatment order ends.
