Guys it take 5 half lives , end of story. Ketogenic diet and sauna can really help I believe. I’m still dealing with twitches 4 months out ,

I went to a sauna multiple times and noticed absolutely no difference. Also, i highly doubt any diet would change anything. We humans are omnivirous, we're meant to eat anything we can get our hands on.

I managed to have four muted orgasms today through anxious checking after my vitamin D overdose, so I guess they/them pussy really is built different.

God, I hope by some miracle I don't crash. Fuck PSSD, I wish this never happened to me. Still hoping its withdrawls tho. If I don't crash, it's probably withdrawl.

Hi...new member. I only got one injection of invega and it has destroyed my life.I have hand tremors, anhodia, erectile dysfunction, no emotions, brain inflammation, no sex drive, horrible sleep and living a very miserable life. I also have lyme disease which isn't helping. Everything smells weird too.Like. dirty vacuum cleaner.

How long have you been off of it for ?
 
i think some people have permanent effects for some reason but its probably very rare

even antidepressants can possibly cause permanent brain damage paliperidone just seems to have a higher chance of permanent side effects but its still rare im sure if you took invega pills for 6 months it would also have the same amount of potential of permanent damage as the injection because in both cases paliperidone is going to your brain its no difference if its pills because they are both going to your brain the same chemical to potentially damage you

Chill bro, you're still young and probably past the peak. How many doses did they give u? Are you still taking any other meds? Tbh,bi don't know how they keep prescribing this crippling poison, its horrible. Turns u into a useless zombie. Anyway 5 months and what are ur symptoms? They shouldn't last longer than a year if they gave u a lot. It will get better, I reassure u. I know it's fkinh horrible, but hang on in there. 19 years old, you're super young still got so many years ahead of u. If u lose a few months cause of this shit don't worry. Just learn the lesson that u have to behave well so they don't give u more antipsychotic for whatever was the reason they gave it to u in the first place. Be patient please, 1 day qt a time.

Let me guess you never had invega and have no idea what I and others are going through. What’s the point in living if I’m permanently damaged from a drug that should be illegal.

Im 4 months off now and with some effort of eating around 1000-1500 calories a day and walking 10k steps a day, Ive been able to lose 20 lbs in like 3 weeks. I went from 220 to 200. Want to get to like 150. Im feeling almost motivated to gym again but I hate showering now so thats keeping me from doing so.

Whats been helping is watching videos of obese people lose there weight. There's people who go from 220 or even more, to like 135 in the span of a year or so. They eat a low calorie diet with whatever twist they want to add to it like ketogenic or gluten free. They also go to the gym as they progress in their weight loss journey and do a lot of cardio and light lifting.
 
I only took so much vitamin D because I didn't read the fucking label on my pill bottle or infer they were weekly pills because there were only four of them. I just went "hurr durr, I'll take these four pills then". I think I've lost IQ points. If I make it through this week without crashing, I think I'll be okay.
 
So, I'm marking 8 months as my recovery time. I went on a vacation and was joyful, outgoing, and interested in exploring just the way I was before the shot. It's continued now that I'm at home. I'm taking lots of pictures around the city, taking joy in small things like seeing cute dogs or a nice full moon.

I was getting more functional around 4 months, started feeling "okay" at 6 months. I went on 5 mg of lexapro at 4 months, but I don't think it affected much. I went on 150 mg of wellbutrin at 6 months and that seems to have made a big difference in my mood and motivation.

Lingering side effects are that it takes longer to have an orgasm (though that seems to be getting better over the past month) and I'm not sure how substances affect me. I seem to have a higher alcohol tolerance, but I'm not a heavy drinker so I don't test it much. I have no idea about weed, because I've quit that forever.

So yeah, recovery is definitely possible. If you're one of the lucky ones, it can happen in as little as 8 months, and if you're not you might as well hang in there anyway.

I had the 2 loading doses, last one on January 28.
 
I find myself laying around in bed awake a lot, no desire to do anything, no energy to get up. Seems hard to believe i'll get better from this out of nowhere, i think this is permanent. And when i wake up i just keep updating psych pages all day on my cellphone. I wish this had never happened to me and i could've moved on with my life. :(
