How many shots did you have? Was it invega? I can’t remember if you said.

Healing is defo possible. But takes a long time.

Yes Invega. (Poison) but I will say it kicked me out of a psychosis. I can see all my past experiences which lead to my episode. I should have just taken the olanzapine. It’s my fault in this mess. I have hope. The fact I’m typing now is saying something. It could have been a whole lot worse- as I was scheduled for 12 doses of invega as I was on a CTO, but it got revoked and immediately I stopped taking it. 6 months of pure suffering and agony. But I will take responsibility and say it was my fault for smoking weed and other drugs like mdma, lsd etc. I’m not touching anything again, except for caffeine. I know for some people they can handle it- fair play to them.

I also see how APs got me out of my drug induced psychosis. I think CTOs are over kill. I think once you are sane again doctors should focus on getting you off meds as soon as possible. Not reality unfortunatly.

I was an idiot and still took a few more doses. It was revoked at the fourth. But the invega has made me passive and I didn’t have the strength to fight the system to get off it. The lady who I care for noticed my blank stare and said I have to get off before it’s too late. This motivated me to get the strength to tell my psychiatrist that I won’t be taking it anymore. I feel some fight coming back. I hope this is early signs of healing.

So you recovered in 6 months? How many shots of invega did you have and what dosage?

No I haven’t recovered. I took the injections for 6 months and I’m one month off. Sorry for confusion. I pray for a recovery the next six months though.

How did your psychiatrist respond to you wanting to come off the injections?

Invega also made me give blank stares. It was frightening because I didn’t know if it would ever go away. Eventually it did and went back to normal.
 
Thinking of my pre invega self is so trippy, like I had experienced another person's life. Sometimes I try to copy my old mannerisms and how I think I used to talk but it feels so foreign. Not that I'm a different person though, it's more like I'm not a person at all more like a vegetable or a clam. I'm kind of compelled to post here because while I'm not gonna kms, part of me thinks that life in this state is somehow impossible so the universe or whatever will find a way to delete me? Some kind of freak accident or disease maybe. I dunno I love my family very much, gonna start working soon they hired a literal retard so that's gonna be interesting. Anyway 1 year in and no changes feels like neurodegenerative disease, totally dissociated like living behind glass, the other day I couldn't comprehend 8+6=14.
 
I’ve been prescribed zyprexia 10 mg in the morning and 10mg in the evening. I take the evening dose as it helps me get to sleep, but I don’t take it in the morning but will be pretending. Zyprexia is another antipsychotic but nowhere near as potent as Invega. Only causes me to be sleepy. Invega gave me the worst insomnia and I can’t sleep at all. Olanzapine helps on that front. I’m aware that this might prolong my recovery, but people like @paranoid andriod take it in the evening with no side effects. I think I’m one of them whom gets no side effects from it. It’s this bloody invega.

The fact you are going to be working is amazing. I can’t work in my current state, though will be going back to the gym In a few weeks.

How long have you been off invega ?

Have you recovered at all in the year and what areas. I’m one month off my injection and looking for some hope.
 
Are there any successful full recovery stories, can someone please share data or examples about it and mention the number of injections and dosage?
 
Funny how no right wing organizations ever make the terrorist list. Trump will support the likes of the proud boys while calling antifa a terrorist group

I had joint and muscle pain and stiffness until a couple months ago. Couldn't walk fast, my gate was weird and had trouble walking down stairs. So that has improved but otherwise I'm the same or worse than before, cognition, libido, emotional range all gone, my personality is non-existent now. I had a lot shots though so your chances of recovery are likely much better than mine.
 
Read the documentary it answers many questions about recovery and what you can expect
