This is what happens. I can send you a link if you are interested. But over time in long term users and heavy abusers, you can damage your brains reward system where you brain dosent produce as much dopemine as a normal person and which lead to many disorders such as amotivational syndrom, apathy. Anhedonia. Short term memory and cognitive difficulties. So if you just using to medicate then you will be fine and have nothing to worry about.

Yeh I'm only smoking a gram a day. I never had anhedonia before the invega shot so and I was never a heavy weed abuser, always moderated

Do you have your emotions back?

Yeh my emotions are back for the most part but like I said I still have depression/anhedonia. It's a hard question to answer because when I had no emotions I had no energy either to do or say anything. But now I have a bit more energy it seems to directly relate to me emotions. I still find it hard to play games and enjoy them like I used to but I do it anyway to keep my mind active

No not even close to fully healed. The times people usually begin to feel better are 6 months, 8 months, 10 months and by 12 months they have usually 100% recovered unless they'd taken a large amount it could take up to 2 years. Now what are you concerns the anhedonia?

From what I read on the older forums, about around a year but those people were working out and were losing a little bit every month
 
To both of you guys, invega actually ruined my appetite so I don't share that side effect sorry. I wish I could eat for some reason I just have no appetite it does my head in

Anhedonia is a common symptom of depression once your depression goes away the anhedonia will go away. Like I said stay away from antidepressants because they can get rid of depression but can cause lasting anhedonia especially prozac

Speaking of that I forgot to mention that I have to go pretty much all day without eating to get hungry. I had a massive appetite the first couple months and seemed like i couldnt go without eating

Why would anti depressants cause anhedonia? I thought they give the brain serotonin to make you feel good and that's the whole point of them. I dno if i'll stop them I'm taking zoloft

Yeh I usually force down my breakfast and then won't eat until dinner which I also sometimes have to force down. I can't believe the amount of side effects one drug can have

Depends on your metabolism. Eventually over time you'll lose the weight over a year so. Dont expect any significant weight changes under a year

It's crazy, it just dosent send that signal to the brain that your hungry but that symptom normally goes away with time. I hardly hear anyone who has recovered or still facing side effect that still dont have appetite l

How many years???
Click to expand...
In the 1-2 year stage you will start to lose some weight. It mostly depends on your metabolism. Could take 3-4 but it will come off over time gradually. But dont expect to lose a lot of weight fast. More like gradually over time 1-3 year stage
