Congrats. Did you share what got you stuck into the system to begin with?
I committed a non violent criminal act that i plead guilty too. so i was court ordered for my probation. but things have changed for the better for me. i just have to focus on my recovery which i have been doing for a while.

all is good.

An engulfing openness too vast to hang down. People walk by. I don't say anything. Look up how to give advice; there's no point, I don't have that from before

Torpedoing in to nothingness. That's how I get old. Maybe this miracle water my brother bought from Australia will do anything. Embarassment. Sick cunts walk by. Lives. And then I think to myself, and the world dissipates in the clouds. The calender flows by and it's ancient and thats it
What miracle water? I'm Australian, so I'm intrigued to know what he got you :)
Do you work @Arthur Paul ?

How many doses did you have and when were you able to start concentrating enough to even play games. I'm 6 months off from only 2 doses 100mg and 150mg and I can barely play a simple game on my phone. Like I can play but I just don't like it like I used to, probably because of the anhedonia
 
I can officially say that my sex drive is really coming back full force. It takes nothing to arouse me. Fuck porn and fuck masturbating. Just being able to have this energy again is satisfactory enough.
 
Update to my status coming off Vraylar (post "coming off Invega"- which I already have successfully):

It's been almost 2 years off Vraylar, a long-acting antipsychotic in pill form. I can now meditate more efficiently. My arms and legs no longer experience numbness when they are sat on or laid on as much. Several of my joints that have been weak and used to experience cracking and popping (even back as far as days from being on Risperdal Consta and Invega Sustenna) have healed lately and I no longer experience popping or cracking in those areas. In particular, it was my right ankle that would pop or crack every time I extended it. My knees also suffered considerable damage after Risperdal Consta and Invega Sustenna to the point where it was nearly impossible to straighten my legs from a kneeling position without experiencing pain or fatigue. Now that Vraylar is almost completely gone from my system (with Invega and Risperdal well behind me), my knees are also healing and I no longer experience a 'near-pop' of my left knee in particular.

It used to be that every time I would go for a long walk, my left knee would feel the need to pop until I nearly reached the bottom of my street (about a quarter mile). All in all my joints are stronger and have noticed major boosts in strength as this drug continues to wear off more and more. I've also been able to work out more and more consistently since I don't experience as much fatigue and since I heal quicker overnight or the next day.

The worst of my symptoms, all in all, from Vraylar was something I have not read about anywhere else. I was, for almost the full duration on the drug, until just recently, occasionally experiencing pockets of heat that would build up in my body. At one point, while having a clear light dream, laying on my right side like yogis suggest, a scalding bubble traveled up along my right side meridian and landed in my brain. I do not know the extent of the damage, seeing as how there are no nerves in the brain and doctors are unlikely to "hear-out" anyone going into an emergency room claiming they are experiencing boiling in the body.

For a long time, Vraylar, explicitly, among all of these long-acting antipsychotics, made me experience the worst distrust of people like doctors and others who approve of the use of antipsychotics (not as a direct symptom, of course, but rather as a sort of disexperience). I have been able to let go of animosity I feel toward other people, especially those not directly involved. I even allowed myself to forgive the female social worker who got me sent 180 miles from my home to be hospitalized for 3 months, even after it was she who coerced me into attempting suicide. Last I heard from her she does not forgive herself, which I consider to be the best revenge possible in this scenario.

Still more healing to do, but not that I'm physically healing faster, it won't be much longer. I'm already beginning to see clear light again as I meditate and go about my day...
 
Like I've said before I was on 3 years worth of court-ordered injections of Invega, longer than anybody else on this forum. It was at 117mg with three 256mg loading doses. I guess I might just be f*cked now aren't I..
 
The hardest part was not beating the sh*t out of those f*ckers every time I had to go in their office. This is what should happen to all those psychiatrists and their helpers who put people on forced injections..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH9k646okTg
 
What would win a fight, a fist or a needle?

I've been on invega since october 2013. Haldol and risperdone for two years before that. I got my most recent shot of invega wednesday. It's been 254mg the whole time. They really hate us.
 
The only possible upside to this is that the brain seems to be able to take alot of abuse and still find a way to function..and the human will and spirit is very powerful..that's probably all I've got left at this point..and for those of you who've been on forced injections of psychiatric drugs, for godsakes don't go and get that experimental mRNA Covid vaccine!..
 
why are there so many people saying they recovered in 6 and 7 monthy yet i feel no fucking different at 7 months off, im so tired of this shit and confused man i just want a sliver of my life back
 
can anyone tell me how different they felt at 6 or 7 months compared to when they first got injected with invega, and how much longer it took for u to see more difference

Everyone is different man. Sorry to hear you're still waiting to get back to normal. I hope things start to change soon.

Went from a complete zombie drooling when I spoke and all I did was pace to burn time to now being back to conpletely normal, anhedonia and acne is the only side effects I have now. Pretty much say i recovered from invega because the anhedonia is mostly from my drug abuse and I has anhedonia when I was sober before invega. 6 months off and I feel great. High energy, having my thoughts back, sexual side effects went away, my personality is back, no physical side effects except acne which will go away in a couple months. No brain fog, strength has came back, no motivation, have no problem doing everyday tasks, no more blurry vision, no more sleeping 12 hours a day now I'm sleeping 8-9, no more restless sleep. Pretty much say I recovered from invega. No problems getting high or anything, can feel coffee and the first morning cig. No anxiety anymore, no depression. Orgasms are strong just like before. I just fried myself from drugs so I guess I just will have to live with anhedonia which I can but it seems to be getting better, like I wasn't able to concentrate on anything the first 2 months and the anhedonia was dreadful l. But now I can concentrate and things went from shitty to okay. I can get into movies and games and understand what's going on. No memory problems. No cognitive problems. Gain some weight but I'd rather honestly dont care because I went from 150-200 but I dont really have any fat on me so that's why I don't think it stayed in my body that long because my arms are pretty much also muscle and toned still with no fat. But I will come back to this form and tell my story and let people know recovery is possible but not certain. You could have lasting side effects and most do sadly. Also the texture in my changed but i don't get a shit really. 6 month the anhedonia has gotten easier and I have been smiling in laughing a lot more. I feel like a slice of butter melting on a big ole pile of flap Jack's :D
 
Btw the high I get now is like a stoney high, like I'm floating and my whole body is tingling. Only time I've had euphoria is when I was on meth. So pretty I just stick to indica because I dont think sativa will do anything for me anymore. I'm going to try alchoal and let you guys know if I get drunk or not

how many shots did u get? also is the anhedonia as bad as when u first got it or did it get better?
 
I had 2 shots. Like the anhedonia was terrible when I first got the shot, I couldn't concentrate on anything and when I started to be able to concentrate on things the anhedonia was terrible everything just felt gross, idk if I'm improving or you just get use to after a while but things aren't even bad. Like I've been laughing a lot more when I do stuff and dont seem bad like they were but not like full blown making me happy. It's like everything is okay. Like not bad but not great at this point.
how many shots did u get? also is the anhedonia as bad as when u first got it or did it get better?
 
Also I had a lot of meth and cannabis in my system when I got the shot idk if that could have made a difference and I mean a lot. Like I was pissing dirty for 3 week for meth and 3 months for weed and I was like 160 so it wasn't stored in my fat, i just used so much which could have saved me tbh but I'm not a doctor

Best advice I can give you is you are just gonna have to learn how to cope with it if you dont recover, just like someone who has lost their arms or legs, they just had to learn how to cope with it, just like me living with anhedonia, just have to learn to cope with it and dont let it stop you
