Today i’ve had 3 coffees and 1 monster. This could be helping to piss it out quicker, not sure. But defo keeps my mood up and music sounds much better. I drink 1-2 litres of raw milk a day on top of that.

Can you remember when you saw first early signs of recovery off invega? I’m not talking a full recovery as you already had already answered that.

Between 6-7 months for the first signs. My brain started to slowly work again. I think my sleep improved before that. You could see improvements before then.

I had a terrible reaction to my second injection. It didn’t hit me slowly it hit me over night. Gave me a hunched spine/kyphosis and melted my brain to oblivion.

I had pretty much every symptom, all healed except my posture, which has improved a bit but will never be the same.

Thanks for the clarification.
I’m possibly going to be stuck in my current state for a long time it seems. Who knows. Time will tell.

When I see older people walking the lake, I think of time and hope. I just gotta wait this out and do what I can in the meantime it seems.

It’s gonna suck for a while. But you can get through this. Stay strong mate, you can get your life back.

I just read that my kyphosis from invega was due to an acute dystonic reaction. Evil drug.

Pure evil, the it shuts down your life and hinders everything. I should have just taken the olanzapine during my episode and this would have never happened.
 
man if i didn't go psychotic my third time i would have only had 2 injections and recovered within a year. I would not have made it without my strong belief in God. I will make prayer we all recover .

What brought about your psychosis? Mine was a mixture of drugs. Weed, lsd , coke etc. definitely I’m going to be avoiding those for life now. I tried to have some weed while on invega once and it just made me paranoid. No choice but to stay sober

I basically didn't smoke weed for 4 years and then when i got laid off I was like let me try thc carts at 90% thc. I quickly went into psychosis . Led to a severe car accident and 3 hospitlizations which led to 14 injections ( 3 haldol 11 invega) Safe to say i wont recover for many many years.

I see. I hope you do recover. At least you’re a long time off the injections. Hopefully some healing comes your way soon.

I can’t wait till I can engage in my hobbies again. I can’t focus on anything. I’m hoping around month 3 mark I can start focusing on things that I previously enjoyed; gaming and reading. I might be overstretching by saying three months, but it’s a goal nonetheless.

Legit from feb to august i did nothing but sleep and lay in bed. 0 energy to go on my pc i did literlly nothing . In september that changed I was able to use my pc for hours at a time like the full interest isn't there but its better than before. My brain basically prefers that over complete boredom yet it doesnt reward me so.
