Sorry to hear what you going through, it's fucking ridiculous what this psychiatrist made us go though. I wish god will punish them all. For enteral hell full of antipsychotic for them.
I'm only regular Invega 5-6 shots and i think i will not recover, already 10 months and 9 days in this hell. 1.3 years since I've started

Haven’t gotten high due to fears of psychosis, unemployment, and house rules. I’ve been sober for around the past 6 months aside from maybe 2-3 nights of drinking alcohol with a friend. I’m starting to regain all what was lost and I feel a bright uptick for my future. All I need back is all my intellectual capacity, creative capabilities, and to lose 80 pounds somehow. Once I get all those back I’ll consider myself fully recovered, I got my last shot in August(23?). So coming up in 10 days will be 5 months time.

I additionally contracted a concussion hitting my head first onto the ground slipping while during my psychosis. At first I was unsure if I’d be forever mentally incapacitated relative to my previous heights but as time progresses things continue to get better for me so my fears have diminished greatly. I’ve also had 4 or 5 concussions up to this point, and none of them has damaged, removed, or taken away my cognitive capacities or capabilities like this one/ Invega has done.

Can I tell you a truth? AS someone who gets hit in the head for a living, the thing is you cannot realize what damage was done because you will always be experiencing the current you, that current you will not remember what the old you felt. It is well known in my circles, you will never be yourself again and that shouldn't be scary but it should be understood. Your brain can only imagine the state it is currently in, it cannot imagine the state prior, damage happens and now your thinking moves a bit more lower than you previously know, but you do not know that now because this is your new normal.

Hope that makes sense.

Many people recovered never give up
 
@invega-survivor101 exercise made me see enormous changes due to neurogenesis being hyped up, also diet, kratom and cannabis (add cbd and use low thc if you prone to psychosis). God is real you can ask for help, suicide is not worth it, all of us should survive and speak publicly what these demonic psychiatrist do
 
I wonder what narshe 81 is up to these days. I hope he comes back soon to give us a update on how he's doing, whatever he's doing good or not.
 
Hey everyone I just thought I’d make a post here now since I’ve been lurking the past week. I got invega injections twice after I got hospitalized for mental health issues, this happened on June 1st. I regret deeply taking this shot. I have zero libido, my emotions are completely numb and I have extreme depression/anhedonia. I can’t stop reading people’s posts and hopefully seeing some recoveries. I know it happens but it seems rare on here that someone comes back to how they were before the shots. What scares me more than anything are the people who keep coming back and saying they never recovered. I know at three weeks I have a long way to go before I feel normal, but I hope that since I only had two shots it won’t take too long. Does anyone know if it gets even a little better in the first months or is it only after 8-10 months that you start to feel a difference? One guy I was in the ward with said he took shots for four years and got better in 8 months.

I’m starting to feel weed a little bit. Not nearly as strong as I used to be able to, but I can tell something is happening. It doesn’t make me stupider but I feel a sensation in my head. Used to make me hungry, tired, etc.

when I smoke weed it feels horrible like I am dying. Idk if this is something you can relate to but I definitely feel it just not in a good way. I don’t relate to those who say they don’t get high for me it’s just the high is bad

I’ve seen your recovery posts I’m proud of you that you stay on the forum. Did you feel any different in the first few months or so?

After about 3 months i noticed a difference in anhedonia and lack of sex drive. But it took awile for it to all come back. My attension span was the last thing to come back that took about a year

Are you sure they are helpful with no side effects?

For me, taking dopamine agonists makes a lot of sense, considering that my recent blood tests showed my prolactin level was about 10 times above the normal range. For some context, around two months ago I started noticing discharge from my breasts. Since I'm not pregnant, this immediately concerned me. I consulted an AI assistant, which suggested that the most likely cause was elevated prolactin. It estimated that my levels were probably two to three times above normal, but it also mentioned that prolactin often decreases as Invega leaves the body, so I decided to wait a little longer. However, last month I experienced a menstrual irregularity, even though my cycle had been normal for about six months after my last injection. I finally gathered the courage to see a doctor, something I had been putting off for quite some time. I was prepared for almost any result, but my prolactin turned out to be abnormally high.
There were also other issues in my bloodwork. My insulin level was very high as well, although thankfully it turned out to be insulin resistance rather than diabetes. At the same time, my ferritin and hemoglobin levels were very low, which points to anemia. My doctor prescribed a comprehensive treatment plan to address all of these problems. There are many reviews of cabergoline (a dopamine agonist) in prolactinoma threads on Reddit, and a lot of people report significant improvements from it. I hope it will help me too. Of course, I'm worried about potential side effects. What scares me the most is severe insomnia, but in my case treatment is necessary either way, so I believe the risk is worth taking. This will take time. My doctor told me that I will need to take it for at least three months and then repeat the blood tests. I also read that prolactin can suppress sex hormones, which explains a lot and may be one of the reasons why I've been struggling so much lately. As treatment progresses, I'll continue sharing my experience here. And if I experience any side effects, I'll make sure to report them as well
 
Can't believe I'm still completely bedridden 10 months and 10 days. While people mostly heal in 6-8 months here.
