can anyone tell (from the stories you witnessed), if running and athletic ability comes back for this drug? .......this is a repeat question.

And can anyone explain why invega dampens your stamina?

Since being injected with invega over 3 months ago, my symptoms have progressively got worse. Is everyones' experience the same?

Too early for me to give anything conclusive.
However I can say- that I had my first session in the gym in 5 months and felt endorphins from working out. This is compared to when I tried to train just over a month of being injected. I felt nothing, out of place and not able to finish my workout.

Other than that- I’m the same. No enjoyment from previous hobbies and stuck with a feeling of restlessness.

Whats your symptoms you’re dealing with? It’s hard man, I feel you.

I’m only early days though, but judging from the average recovery I’ll be stuck like this for a long time. I hope the positive feeling I got from the gym yesterday was a sign of my dopamine receptors opening back up. However again I’m early in my recovery.

Can you feel caffeine?
 
Iv’e noticed in the couple days after recent injection I feel caffeine a lot less than I do towards the end of the month of the injection. Maybe due to lower blood levels and Abilify having a shorter half life than invega.

I can, vaguely. Nothing like pre invega. But I do feel it a tiny bit.

That’s normal. And i’d say a very good sign. I could feel caffeine after invega a bit and I healed. Maybe also a sign of dopamine receptors not being fully shut down.

Yeah, I think the “good” feeling I got from the gym may also be a sign that they are healing. But I could be wrong

You got this man. You recovered from invega last time. When you get off those Abilify injections- I feel with a good diet you will heal quick.

Thankyou bro. Hopefully I can switch to pills soon and just not take them.

I wish you a speedy recovery and highly reccomend hot baths, I reckon they help you detox quicker through sweating, increased blood circulation and potentially releasing the drug faster from the injection site. 39-43 degrees celcius. This is before skin gets damaged.

May seem futile at first but consistency is the key. Just a suggestion. I did this during my two recoveries and I think they helped a lot.

I eat wild caught fish and drink raw milk. Both high in omega 3 and vitamin D. Have been during this entire process to mitigate the damage and keep my body as strong as possible.
