Did being on invega make you irritable over things that did not bother you before and other things that should have made you angry didnt? Did it all come back on recovery?

Some people recover but others don’t. That’s the reality. Personally I’ve lost so much of myself and at 9 months I can’t imagine it will all just magically come back after a year or so. It’s hard coming to terms with this, but I have to. Living like this is painful.

Looking at brokenself it’s just heartbreaking. I see myself in him. Nobody deserves to go through this

I really agree with this sentiment. It literally changes dna expression in the brain. I’ve passed the point of no return as well I’m completely unrecognisable

What was your dosage and how many injections?
Click to expand...
2 injections of Risperdal Consta 50mg.

My sympthoms:

Sleep
• Superficial, non-restorative sleep, with continuous awakenings.
• Impossible to sleep past 6AM.
• Unable to fall asleep during the day.
• Pronounced dark circles, clear evidence of sleep deficit.

⸻

Cognition
• Memory problems.
• Problem-solving difficulties.
• Concentration problems.
• Trouble completing one or more tasks without forgetting.

⸻

Perception
• Altered integration/perception of time (biological clock)
• Normal state of consciousness altered (sensation of being “high”/“feverish and dazed”).
• Absence of emotions.
• Blunted perception compared to normal.

(Diagram: before risperdal → balanced perception of past, present, future; after risperdal → narrowed perception, reduced presence in the present.)

⸻

Sexuality
• Loss of sexual desire, drastic drop in libido.
• Almost complete absence of erections (flaccid, nearly nonexistent).
• Almost complete absence of orgasms (very rare, incomplete).

⸻

Physical sensations
• Very frequent headaches.
• Strange sensations in the head.
• Muscular tension/rigidity.
• Total loss of appetite, partial hunger.
• No response to stimuli such as nicotine/caffeine.
• Cannot feel tiredness

13 months update: Tinnitus very loud came out of nowhere in the right ear, now is extended on the two ear, center, sometimes is only in the left, sometimes is only in the right, sometimes is both, sometimes is center-like, but is always here
 
Basically even if the name change they are all the same, they block receptors, every of them target D2 dopamine, 5HT2A serotonine and many others.

Most of them if not all o them are produced by J&J, it’s like calling one Weed, the other Zaza, the other grass, the other Spliff..

What it change it’s the dosage they have to be given but basically they all are the same.
 
Happy 14th months anniversary to me, i have to buy a cake and light up some candles to celebrate the fact that I had zero improvements. I have to celebrate my life being ruined without reason just in order to make some 2’000$.

Maybe talk to your doctor about sleeping pills. I get zopiclone from my shrink and it works pretty good. If you dont get enough sleep and decent quality sleep you will be fucked up. It's one of the things that gave me psychosis to begin with
 
Hey guys, Luke here from Australia. I’ve been reading this form for months now and like most, I’ve been injected with invenga. 6 injections 4- 100mg and 2- 150mg my last one was on the 18th of August. I have ceased treatment and now hoping to heal. Like many of you here I suffer with Anhedonia, but at this point of time this isn’t an issue as I’m aware that it this takes a long time to heal. What’s really getting to me is Akathisia. I’m hoping when I reach the three month mark- this will ease.

Day 31 off the poison.

Walked the lake today which is 6 kilometers, still don’t have the motivation to go to the gym but hoping to get back into the swing of going in the next couple of weeks.

Slightly feel caffeine. Akathisia giving me issues and I find myself not able to rest or sit still. In result I’m pacing a fair bit. The torment of this hopefully will ease with time. I’m confident in healing in the anhedonia department in time. I just want this akathisia to end.

Mornings I find most difficult. I’ll try and read when I wake up and I’ll see if that might help.

I’m curious- as I have found motivation in your recovery from the amount of injections you have had when did you get them. I was reading v1 and you said you never had invenga. I’m not suspicious that you are lying about being injected with it in the past. I just want some motivation as I’m early in my recovery stage and struggling.

I see your suffering- you’re not alone.

I just took coffee and I can't feel it. Is it safe to take another satchet of coffee?

I dont see an issue. But if you’re not feeling it at all, you’re best to just not have coffee. I feel it faintly and have more than I should.
