To command my brain to do things like 'like remember your best memory is problem'. Used to before:2020 easy before the injection

Yes, I did recover. I received two shots in September of 2015. It took me around 8-9 months to notice significant improvements. I was able to work part-time, start working out again and have a life again.

After 12 months I felt close to a full recovery. Still didn't feel back to baseline but I was able to work, train/exercise regularly and wasn't thinking about Invega all the time. I felt like it didn't control my life anymore.

I would put my full recovery at around the 15-month mark, but I was able to live life again after 8-9 months.

Even though that may sound daunting, please know that this wont be forever. I would suggest getting a pedal exerciser so you can get some light exercise while browsing forums, watching videos or whatever you are doing to pass the time. I did that in the early months. Everything felt like hell but I felt a little better knowing I was getting at least SOME exercise, albeit not very much.

Been 30 days since the last injection I feel a bit better cognitively. Probably mostly placebo, but I flow a bit better when it comes to typing up these messages

No it doesn’t check out the dosages it lists

It is Invega sustenna. Those are the dosages.

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

That happened to me too. Personally at 9 months I feel like it’s starting to get better but not sure

It’s Invega Trinzia. In the description it says 3 Month PPM

Oh that’s strange. Must be some experiment because those aren’t the traditional doses for the 3 months shot

Yeah it is weird, I’ve taken 936 MGs of Invega although. The study isn’t really meant for people who’ve taken more than about 4 invega shots

I’m not recovering after 14 months off 111Mg’s Risperidone, but from what I saw acute exposure (high dosage in low time) is more complicated to recovery instead of chronic exposure.

Like if the brain have his time to fix under the drug correctly and return how it was before.

And how long did it take so you were happy again and no longer suicidal? Did you go to the gym or sauna a lot during recovery? Were you slim or gained weight?

9 months to be happy again, no gym, took hot baths, i wasn’t slim when I got injected, i didn’t put on weight.

Is anyone interested in a discord that serves as a database for useful info for recovery?

I struggle more at night. I can’t sleep till early morning and i’m alone. Just pacing around listening to music for hours.

I find myself just laying in bed, restless and can’t go back to sleep. I miss pre invega where I could just lay down and relax. I hope to regain this in time.

Sorry to hear man- It must suck.

How is your sleep? Do you wake up early not being able to go back to sleep?

My sleep is decent, I do wake up once or twice during the night but I fall back asleep. My issue is in the mornings past 7am. I can’t go back to sleep or just relax in the mornings. I miss this. Who knows maybe it will one day heal. I’m feeling a little negative today because it’s raining and I won’t be able to walk the lake- so I’m trapped inside today.

This is torture. I’m also negative today, sometimes i can cultivate a positive mindset but it doesn’t last long. I also miss feeling at home in my own body.
