Don't worry bro, I used to be like you with extreme anhedonia, depression, restlessness, insomnia and memory loss. Trust me it comes back back around the 5th 6th month. However, expect full recovery at month 12. What you CAN do now is put your hate of psychiatrists aside for a moment and go so him/her. He'll prescribe antidepressants and sleeping pills which really really help. You really have no choice at the the moment or you'll continue suffering. I'm begging you bro. Love you stay strong.

Antidepressants make you depended on them. Sleeping pills can cause also anhedonia and slows down metabolism.

You need to learn some manners and not call random people “$ucking stupid” Invega Sustenna did a good job at knocking me out psychosis and it’s held me stable for a little over a year. It just comes with bad side effects. Weight gain and not being able to move my body fast to workout being the most prominent. So I’m looking to switch to a different AP one that’s not associated with “slow movements” like Invega Sustenna is. I’m looking to changing to Geodon and hope it doesn’t have a weight gain effect and doesn’t initiate slow movements and keeps me out psychosis. I’ve been dreaming of a weight neutral AP ever since I’ve started taking APs but the thought of going back into psychosis is very scary.

Why weight or workout matter if you dont feel life.

Jezus fucking christ most people complain about not having any improvements for 6 or 8 months straight thats what im afraid about i dont want sudden improvement ....i want gradual improvement... month 3 completely sucks and is way worse than month 2. I want to see some goddamn improvement in month 4 or 5.
If this doesn't happen i kill myself hands down.

I don't give a shit if i can't get high those are worries for later. I just want to feel normal again

I'm wondering if its the drug still being active or brain damage which needs to recover..what a mess
 
I’d rather be dead I’m really suffering I don’t know how it’s possible to recover from that.

My improvements are gradual and I can say Im not suffering even close to how it was at month 1 stage. But even if they are gradual you will at one point "stonk" in improvements.
 
Had no anxiety for month but now I got it strong and then it went away. Seems like withdrawls. Also got lot of sweating for no reason first time.

I read that it doesn’t have a weight gain effect and read a lot of reviews that it doesn’t effect working or anything like that. It doesn’t say significant weight gain in the side effects and is known to be less of a sedated. You’re the first person who I’ve talked to that’s given it a bad review

No one ever has anything good to say on this site most of you aren’t even mentally I’ll and are complaining that Invega took away your life try actually being sick and having to be on Invega and dealing with the negative effects of the illness and being scared to switch medication in hopes you won’t relapse. Suck it up and go workout, take vitamins be optimistic and wait six months for Invega Sustenna to leave your body completely. I feel like death and have been on it for a little over a year. I have chest pains, eye twitches in a blank fog most of the day, can’t sleep and am 15 pounds overweight and can’t workout I don’t feel like doing a fucking thing and have no hope for the future. Everything fucking sucks and on top of it Invega has made me look way different and I can’t even hold down a fucking conversation. It’s 5:52 pm and I’m in bed miserable.

You know... you're right. I try not to mean to be so opinionated. And that's what these threads need, is more objective answers.

Oh no. Never been on it, and hopefully never will.

I've only used antipsychotics to force me to sleep after speed binges, I use low dose (25-50mg) quetiapine (seroquel) as a sleep aid occasionally.

I've just developed a habit of following this thread. I'm baffled how full of misery it actually is. I gota very good friend who's a schizophrenic an he's on Zyprexa and and few other meds i can't remember. He's decided twice he's healthy enough and doesn't need the drugs anymore. Both times have ended in 2 weeks time him being hospitalized. And every time they've taken him in it's been about 6 months to get him stabilazed and let to leave to home. I also know several people on APs. No one of them would take them if they had a choice. All of them hate what the medication does to them. I just find all this extraordiraly sad.
 
Is it true that a lot of people commit suicide while on Invega? If so can you link stats that say it.

It makes everybody suicidal so chances are high that lot of people but most likely 55% or less commit it. Dont have stats but all people who take Invega are probably considered schizophrenic even if they arent so stats for suicide rate for schizophrenis is 10-55%, invega surely makes it highest. But why is that important to you. There is actualy no proof for this and people who make stats wont bother with this specific Invega issue, instead they just generalise it.
