Yeah i read it, he say the last 6 months are more easy (12-18 months) but i’am at 14 and i can’t say its more easy, idk if its because i cannot train due to my ankle injury, but for me now is not possible to hit the gym or even do walks because of my ankle, maybe this has slow down my recovery, i mean the fact i cannot exercise neither walk a lot..

What was phuckinvega's no of injections and dosage?
 
For some reason i’ve stopped feeling caffeine. Maybe a tiny bit but its hardly noticeable. I assume its due to my recent injection releasing more of the drug.
 
Drank 2 coffees at the start of the day and there was no lift in anhedonia. Getting me down. I was relying on this so much to get through the day. I can’t wait to feel it fully again when I heal.
 
Counting the days as they go by, not knowing how long I’ll be counting is disheartening. I have no idea if even I will recover. When medical professionals say to me that it should be already cleared out of my system or at least it doesn’t have a therapeutic effect because they are assuming I would only have trace elements left of it-makes things even harder, as I have no help.

While I was injected with invega, I spent an absurd amount of time just looking for recovery stories and the variation of time with these stories fluctuated so much, making my specific recovery timeline obscure. Will it be 4 months or 18 months! Or maybe I’ll be one of the unlucky ones who won’t recover.

Im left hanging by a thread going through my daily activities while thinking of the injections 24/7 unable to flick a switch that will help me change my focus.

This sucks man. I had a few coffees today and felt nothing. I did feel one a few days back- that felt good. But in all honesty I think it was just a placebo effect.
 
Going to bed, found a good instrumental for my next song. Got 400 plays yesterday, hoping people keep listening and tuning into my music despite my cognitive issues and failures. Took a cognitive test today and it was a miserable showcase of ability on my end. Felt absolutely terrible throughout the duration of the test, nevertheless I’m not too worried right now as there’s still a large amount of time before full recovery/ before I can write myself off.

Work in the morning 9:30-5 once again.
 
chillin guys, stopped abilify few days ago and sleep gotten a bit worse since stopping but no other withdrawls. still very little recovery which makes sense considering i had 14 injections.

Here I am complaining and I’m not even 2 months. You have more strength than what you know.

I honestly want some advice from you. Did you have Akaisthisia at all, if so- when did it go.

I didn’t really have akathisia. Only when I smoked weed during the first few months then it went away

Did you notice any improvements at all in your symptoms in 9 months?

Yeah some. Extremely slowly and not noticeable in real time. It’s the same week to week. But when I look back to a few months ago I’m doing better in some ways.

There is something about it that feels permanent though. Like the major symptoms will improve but I’ll never really recover to my original self.

You got a very low dose of Invega compared to me. You have better chances. Invegatorture had similar doses as you and he recovered. It probably doesn’t affect everyone the same way.

Its not that much lower than yours. I also do not show any signs of recovery so far. My symptoms are also similar to someone with a higher dose.
 
recovered to the point of feeling normal and alive again from invega in 2024, then decided to further my troubles. i thought using trazodone and weed together would benefit me, since it helped me stay asleep, and i thought i was 100% good now. until one day it left me sweating, shaking, vomiting, etc. with a two week span of intense energy. i'm not sure if that was psychosis but it felt decent. i sit here two months later from that incident and i get muscle bumps and tremors, high blood pressure, intense anxiety even when going to simple chill places, things like that. that high energy is long gone. i'm an idiot for playing with fire after a lucky recovery, but this bottle of cyproheptadine seems to be doing the bare minimum. do i have serotonin syndrome or have i fried my brain beyond repair this time. oh well. been sober since then but no telling when this constant pain will fade. i don't know if what i'm feeling even has a diagnosis / name.

How long did it take for you to recover from Invega and how many doses?
