Calm down and learn how to spell.If you want an argument or for me to engage in one with you, at least sound intelligent.There is a suicide rate to this.How high it is, who knows.But it happens.If your feelings are hurt, go cry in towel or your pillow.

How are you recovering? Only had One dose and I still feel terrible. Not as bad as before but still not better. Still severely anehedoic. The no sex drive thing is awful. Criminal..

At first I'd feel really sleepy, no motivation or nothing. Then after a week of medicating with weed I started feeling some emotions but high was not same. Then I noticed my internal voice started coming back along with some imagination. The boredom is not as bad as before. Then slowly my condition started improving over a period of like 3 weeks, just didn't feel like invega was affecting my daily life anymore. Very clear difference between now and when I was spending my days sluggishly and doing nothing but trying to occupy myself. Memory is also about 40% better than before and learning is somewhat alright. I've never even had any hallucinations symptoms of schizophrenia and they diagnosed me and put me on the med anyways.
 
Guys. Give it 2 years. Put your head down and just roll with life and I guarantee you things will start to look up. You probably won’t even notice your recovery until you just start to live. I see so much negativity in here. There are so many people that recover to their old self. Everything that happened already happened and you can’t change anything. So look forward to getting better and taking things day by day. Over time everyone is back to the way they were and feel 100% for the people who say they aren’t they usually are much older and are on other medications and substances sadly. But even those people recover ! So have faith and just allow life to go on.

I'm eleven months and I still feel like shit. Not as bad as I did before. Let me ask you a question I have lyme disease too. Could that be exacerbating problems or my recovery? Also...I had the brain burning. Can you recover from that or heal?

The body and mind can heal from almost anything with time. Depending on how many injections you got and how old you are, body type etc can determine your recovery. It seems like you want constant reassurance that things are gunna go back to normal. I understand how you feel. But you have to just play it out with more time. Unfortunately for you it’s been 11 months. I get it. But what can you do ? Nothing but live. So try and find enjoyment in the little things and just take care of yourself. That’s all you can do.

My early 50s and I only got one.Its insane that a doctor took a man like me with no prior history of mental illness and fucked me up like this. I'm not done with this doctor. Gonna sue their ass off.

We're all in different places, so please be respectful. Thanks. I was able to recover faster I think because I was working and going to school.

If you where able to work and go to school then you didn’t suffer even close to the hell that most of us endure … that’s good tho obv but yea you got lucky man this shit can be far worse than what you experienced
 
I'm so angry at myself that I ruined my recovery. Be careful with SSRIs folks. I wasn't careful, I smoked weed and didn't taper off because I didn't think I needed to taper off of 10mg. Take the lowest possible dose and wait longer than I did. If I didn't take Prozac, I'm sure I would be feeling close to normal. And yet, I have no reason to assume I won't recover anyway. I'm just scared I'll never be the same. I love who I used to be.

I had a PSSD wave I hope is ending. I'm feeling less disassociated and a little more emotional. I started exercising more intensely, like jogging instead of walking and when it starts snowing I'm going to do aerobics.

I actually miss my dog now, but it was his time to go. I'm looking forward to getting a puppy next year.

Just thinking about how weird and disgusting it is that they max people out on invega sustenna as a first dose. You are supposed to be on the lowest effective dose of a medication to start it, why do they give people chemical lobotomies at all?? I don't get it. What justifies this?

i wanna say something, you not getting your regular period back yet is closely tied to your recovery and as soon as you get your normal menstrual cycle back with the same amount of periods as before DO NOT LOOK BACK!!! YOU WILL START TO RECOVER AFTER THAT!!! im sure of it! menstrual cycle coming back is one of the best signs of females recovering sadly there is no sign for males which sucks for me so i won't know when im about to recover, but PLEASE when your menstrual cycle comes back with the same amount of periods update us on it it will give us especially me lots of hope because im sure you will recover after that!

Kaatrina said hers returned after 12 months. I am approaching 15 months without one. That shot sent me into early menopause. I’m not even in my forties yet!
