good bro keep your head up🫶 i look up to you alot keep posting stuff like this it means everything to me im just scared because my mom says i am sensitive to meds but i didnt have any extreme reactions like brain burning, td, or anything i felt really lobotomized 4 months ago now i feel normal but still numb emotionally if that makes sense i can feel basic emotions like smile and laugh but not complex like listening to music or food i also feel dumb mentally kind of but still passed a math test i doubt i would have been able to 4 months ago but i was really good at math so not sure if that is a really good sign and i still have shrinkage and sexual dysfunction which really hurts me💔

im 18 struggled with severe depression most of my life since i was 11 or 12 the only time i felt true happiness is when i was dating my now ex for 3 weeks who is evil and is the reason all this happened to me after she left me i was severely depressed for 2 months and it then became mild until i got invega now its severe again people recovering is the one and only thing that can kind of cheer me up but when i see people not recovering it makes that lose effect too sometimes

only thing i can imagine being worse than this is penis removal or castration because that is probably permanent
 
Know what? I kind of do hate the psychiatrist who okayed my request for invega. He should have known better. I was there because Straterra caused mania, it was a drug that acts on dopamine and norepinephrine receptors. Fucker gave me Seroquel first instead of something that targets dopamine, without even talking to me extensively, and that made me hallucinate and immediately distrust the establishment I was in because at the time, I believed I wasn't crazy and was being gaslit by the scammer because the scam bot was programmed to put people in a mental hospital so they can't do anything to protect their bank accounts. I was delusional, but I wasn't hallucinating a whole lot. It was like I was on shrooms again.

Invega is like a bomb when all I needed was a hammer. What he did was irresponsible. He did warn me about the side effects, but I now know the blame isn't squarely on me.

I wish none of this ever happened to me. I was a really sensitive and emotional person before this, intelligent and creative too. I feel like I've been reduced in all aspects. Prozac was another injury too and I regret going on something else that causes emotional blunting. I had a better choice and I didn't take it because I wanted to not gain weight and smoke weed and I was under the false impression it was safe to smoke weed on Prozac.

I hope I can get back to who I was, at least someone who cares a lot and laughs easily. At least I'm starting to feel love for my friends again. I looked at my niece today and I felt love for her.

I want my sexual talents and sensitivity back too. I'm grateful that I can still feel a small amount of sexual pleasure. I'm almost back to where it was just after I quit Prozac, before the withdrawl crash, maybe a little better than that sometimes. By the grace of God, I'm getting better.

recovery depends on how much it damaged your brain if you had no brain damage you will recover alot quicker most probably and if you had brain damage depending on the level you had it will take longer to recover

I dunno. I was hurt by Prozac pretty bad. I would've totally gotten over invega if I didn't take it and waited out my OCD flare up. But, I've been reading a lot of accounts about PSSD and there are people who go a whole year without seeing any improvement while I'm slowly getting better already. There's people trapped in depersonalization while my depersonalization is lifting.
 
I can feel this song! Not as much as I used to, but it gives me pleasure. I am a little high though, I don't know how it will be when I'm sober.

 
people who had the loading doses will be demolished for way longer than those who had 1 injection or multiple injections, those people's last dose was max 234mg while ours is fucking 310 for me and some 390mg, we will be fucked for way longer agreed everyone??

yes I understand you, me too it was my wife during my separation who indirectly led me to depression and invega, concerning your libido, invega induces apathy and anhedonia and these are symptoms which prevent sexual desires and erection in itself but when your prolactin drops further and your symptoms go away your libido and your intimate chemical and mechanical reactions will return

you can try what I did to try to obtain a faster remission, concentrate on each bodily sensation that you will feel to begin with and tell yourself that it is positive because it is a start of emotional reconnection, even the physical sensations (does when you take a shower or a bath do you feel good again) then after several weeks the real emotions begin to arrive in addition to the sensations, you must also observe your consciousness within yourself even if it becomes more clear because invega darkens the consciousness, we must look for the slightest improvement
It's not a miracle solution but it's worth a try.

thanks bro i dont give a fuck about invega as long as i recover from what i see many people fully recover but im also seeing people never recovering which makes me very hopeless i wish someone who knew how would explain why some people never recover it really distresses me i have heard that people taking antidepressants or antipsychotics long term and coming off sometimes also never recover from the damage but ive seen it with invega more than any drug and it is extremely distressing😔
 
Morning everyone

My mum is coming to stay with me this week. I’m cleaning up my entire apartment and putting brand new sheets on the beds etc. I’ve hired a car for while she’s here and am planning to do some nice days out.

I’ve been fairly tired lately, heading slowly into month 5 off Invega and hope to have fun while my mum is here.

Not neccessarily. I felt better on Prozac for a minute, but I was a dumbass and smoked weed almost every day on it and I got psychosis again. I think invega might increase the risk for PSSD too. I deeply regret going on it, don't get me wrong.

What I should have done is wait out the OCD flare-up and be more patient about moving in with my friend

How much better did you feel on prozac? And how long after your last injection did you start taking it?
 
For future reference. I pray every night to make a full recovery swiftly. I’m 19 yo this all started at 18 I need my life back. Small improvements I’ve noticed now that I’ve took time to think about it. Started off not being able to get an erection at all literally no matter how hard I tried I could not get an erection. I can now get an erection from about 5 minutes or less of physical touch. (Sorry if this is tmi) I believe if I recover this would be helpful for other males facing the same horrible issues. I feel that I have went from a brain dead state to a retarded state. Communication has improved. Horrible face acne has went away (I still at almost all times have 2-3 zits on my face) I’m hoping weight gain has stopped as I have been same weight for around 2 months. I can fall asleep a lot faster. Other than that life is still hell and I am still very much struggling. Please lord heal others and I this is torture. 6 months off of 5 invega injections. Hard to put a % on this but I’d say 5-10% recovered.
