I’m a shell of what I once was. I feel lobotomised, fractured and empty. My life was rich before these injections and now mundane In multiple ways. My cognition is bad and I’m assuming it’s due to brain damage, however hopefully as time goes on this fixes up. I’m made to wait with uncertainty that I’ll recover. It’s early days in my recovery but I’m having a hard time at the moment. I have suicidal ideation but would unlikely do it. I count down the hours of the day and can’t wait till it’s 9.00pm, in so that I can sleep.

hang in there. it's very difficult but just take it one day at a time if you can. only one life to live. something i did was force myself to watch one episode of a show i liked a day. no matter how fucked up i felt. it's like learning how to walk again honestly.

Hey what supplements did you use for recovery?
 
I don’t think there is a real “Recovery” and we feel that. I think with a lot of time (years) We only get these micro improvements that lead us to cope with the loss until a point we can barely function again.

But this is not recovery.

DId you take any other drugs during recovery? I think you are still recovering if you are not 100% because i know a guy with just 1 injection who says he recovered 90% in 10 months and slowly getting back to who he was. How long has it been since your injection ?

I’ve tried to bring up this with my psychiatrist and he doesn’t believe it’s from invega! He mentioned it’s out of my system now and that it’s my ADHD being the reason I’m not focusing. I am focusing, my brain has been fried from invega. He argued saying invega is no longer at therapeutic levels- expanding on this telling me that invega shouldn’t be causing me problems anymore as it’s apparently practically out of my system, which isn’t true.

They all say that. Fuck them

My total to 624 yours is just 250. Less than half of the dose I got. Invegatorture got the same doses as you and he recovered

There are stories of people with only 250mg or less who didnt recover or recover fully. There are people with higher doses who recovered.

Just show him the forums, it’ll force him to come to a realization this is a persistent problem for at least a small portion of people, and he won’t be able to ignore the facts of it anymore

The number of people who say they will probably never be the same again is a lot.

There are people who say they recover but I don’t really believe them. Just don’t think it’s truly possible.
 
From panic attack to this shit is crazy man.. Sometimes i can’t belive what happened to me and the fact they shot me since they don’t want me out the psych ward without the injections..

They will not care and will gaslight us. I’ve already tried talking about it and they always say some shit to make excuses. “Don’t believe everything you read” type shit. Even my family is the same way. “Just stop reading it”

My mother, who is the one who irresponsibly advocated for the administration of this shit into me also wants me to stop reading
