Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v 12

14 months and still not recovered. Cant believe I am so close to 18 months but still no improvement in my situation. Anyone who recovered in the recent days? Starting to feel this is permanent.

Don’t despair. I saw a comment under a YouTube video about Invega where a guy said it took him 2 years before he felt normal again
 
Day 202. Small progress. Today cookies taste better than they used to. I really hope my receptors are starting to come back to life from under the oppression of Invega..
My libido is improving too, by the way. It’s much better than it was a month ago. I felt it yesterday

This song feels like driving through empty roads at 3am while your whole life dissolves in the rearview mirror:

 
For those who received many injections (a comment from Reddit):

"Friend, I have read on the bluelight thread about two who've received 12 injections. One who has recovered after 5 years and 4 months, and the other whom I hope you have similar timeline to (or much sooner) has recovered in 3 years. Please do not lose hope. I wish you strength and a good load of patience in your recovery journey. May you heal sooner than later❤️‍🩹 God be with you"

when was your last injection?
 
I think things might be getting worse for me at 14 months , I am noticing urinary incontinence again . I initially had it after the injection and around 4th month I took Solifenacin for 1 month then it had reduced. Now I am noticing the same thing again. So is my brain getting worse ?

Me too my white blood count as low.
Imo it's super snail pace but i feel tiny improvement.

Today i felt Adderall 5 precent maybe, then afterwards i took rimficyin again and i felt better Iike it's really clearing the invega faster.
 
Just thought I'd add my personal experience. I had several shots altogether. I stayed busy and switched to a pill form of another ap and was good after a few months. I don't even remember having to really recover from it. They say the best thing you can do for your brain is physically move a lot. Dunno.

Do you mean Matthew01? He’s also on Reddit. He started parnate but stopped after a week because he said it caused him anhedonia. He said he started off with 10mg but went up to 20 after 2 days though? I don’t know if he chose to do that or if his doctor told him to because they usually want to keep you on a certain dose for a week or two before raising it… he’s been asking about testosterone levels and if homorne treatment will help him.

That's not me,man. You're talking of someone else
 
So risperdalconsta is still with us? I hope he didn't do anything drastic? Why did he delete his account. Someone said he was on reddit. Anybody in contact?

In the first months of recovery, I experienced the same thing. I had trouble formulating my thoughts — my head felt completely empty. I could barely hold a conversation and often stayed silent. On top of that, I also had problems understanding other people's speech. I remember my mom asked me to cook chicken in the oven, and in my head, it sounded like she was speaking Chinese, a language I didn't understand. For about two seconds, I went completely blank. Around the fourth month, things started to improve, and after the sixth month, I made significant progress. I wouldn't say everything is perfect now, but I've recovered a lot
