I too feel weed less than i did in the early months. Dont feel alcohol at all. Wonder why this happens..

Yes it’s bad because I still feel hungover from alcohol but no benefit of a pleasurable experience. It’s terrible. Weed also produces no euphoria, just mild body high and perception changes.
 
I just got my first gym session completed for the first time in six months.
Few things I’ve noticed.

1-I do feel a slight endorphin rush.
2-The thoughts I get are similar to when I walk the lake , I feel hopeful about my recovery.
3-It’s going to take me a long time to get back to my pre invega strength.
4- I’m going to have to shape up my nutrition and supplements. Currently just taking lions mane, magnesium. My plan is for each month add new supplements. Goal is by month four to add Saint John’s wart then to fight the rest of the chemical. Right now because my levels are so heart I assume it would be useless to take.
5-Motivation to train isn’t there but once I start training I feel motivation. I’ve put on some weight these past 6 months and I think having a good general fitness level will help in recovery. (Could be wrong) assuming here.
 
yeah serhats recovery story is wild. Him and I had same number of injections yet he recovered in 10 months and I havent at 19 months. Proves different brains heal at different rates
 
Whoah hey man. Just seen how many doses and how long it’s been. Have you any recovery at all ?

Hey @InvegaAnon- how long did it take you to start being able to appreciate music again after your invega injections. Music to me just doesn’t feel the same anymore. I’m one month and 6 days since my last injection. I’m eager for some healing to come my way.

This summer is when I really started to feel it outside of random frission. I think being forced to listen to music at my retail job helped.

little recovery nothing major. I definetly feel a bit better and less sedated. I don't sleep 14 hours a day anymore and I engage with my previous hobbies but they dont give me pleasure or joy. I went from laying in bed all day doing nothing and now I can do more but nothing close to 100% recovery.

Invega didn’t sedate me; it just made me anxious and restless constantly. How long did it take you when off injections to engage in your hobbies again?

My last injection was feb 29 2024 and it wasn't until september that I started playing my favorite video game again and got a decent rank. Up until september last year I did 0 hobbies.

I can’t wait for the moment I can sit down and just play a game. I feel it will be a long time

Yes, I take olanzapine at night time. Invega fucked up my sleep. I still wake up a few times a night but I wouldn’t get any sleep without it. I don’t notice any negative effects from it either. My only issue is this invega.

I would’ve been fine with being medicated if it actually kept you well.

Just my nose blocked I’ve got it very deep and I feel like it came from some sort of allergies. It’s really one of the worst symptoms you could have.

Did you tell your doctor about dopamine agonists?
Click to expand...
Yeah, he told me that before to prescribe anything he want to discuss my case with the team and try to understeand what is happened to my brain, then probably they will prescribe something.

The fact is that I developed all these sympthoms after a powerful antagonist and since then i dint recover, so i think they will try with some agonist too or maybe something that made more sensible receptors if there is any drug that do this,idk.

He told me he want so see me another 2-3 times before prescribing something in order to take his time to discuss with his staff what they can prescribe, next appointment is in 14 days..
 
I was a serious long distance runner and athlete before invega. Can no longer run. Run out of breath more quickly. Can anyone explain why invega stops your running and athletic ability? Is it the dopamine block or something else? Do you have any examples of people regaining their athletic ability afterwards upon recovery?

I know paranoid android says he became a better athlete after invega but what about people who were good athletes prior to invega?

I developed permanent alteration of my consciusness and permanent alteration of perception of the world around me, i don’t think you issue is permanent.

You have to reach the point you was before by training, if you don’t train for some months it is normal you are not more like before

Dont do things like that. For me it was a Nigerian psychiatrist who did this to me and i know he did it on purpose but i still wont do something crazy like this. Dont. Have to let it go for our own peace, lodge a complaint if you can but never take these horrifying steps.
