well it was a year on february 15 since my last injection, still in this hell, still no better, still this eternal hell of nothing empty dead no feelings, emotions motivation, sleep, everything is dead, i dont know how long i can hang on tried but its been a year now, its hopeless
 
Anyone have nerve pain or healed from it? I've developed a nerve pain that has gotten more intense in my feet, legs, chest and more.
I just started getting that, I hope it's the invega getting removed from the body as I feel slightly more energy.
 
Can someone please help me find out when your hormones should be normal after invega? My period is a week late, which is a sign of anovulation.
 
I remember my recovery well, or rather my recoveries, most of the time I forced myself to walk, first 6 km a day, then I walked double 12 km a day, little by little I started to feel better and to feel emotions again, but over the years I I've changed a lot, before I didn't spend much time on my cell phone, or watching series, in recent years I've become very closed in on myself, I've decreased my relationships with people (and I miss them very much), and I often have negative thoughts, I've noticed that about 5 or 6 months a year I'm depressed, then the depression goes away, more and more energy comes, and then... boom I lose control and the psychosis comes back... I think I'm bipolar
 
now I've learned to recognize the phases, it took me many years but... I've learned a lot, when I start spending several days with little sleep, I'm full of energy and I feel like the best in the world, able to do everything... I know I have to stabilize myself somehow, and I start taking lithium (which doesn't do anything for me) if it doesn't work... I also take a few mg of AP, but only for 3 or 4 days, if I don't do it, I end up in hospitals and there they give me injections and I have learned this, the injections make me suicidal and destroy me, so I use my brain to make sure they don't inject me anymore
 
For me personally, physical exercise helps me a lot to feel good, since it's been a long time since I've been injected, I don't lack energy, but I have a lot of thoughts, I have an umbilical hernia like Dre, and an abdominal detachment, I'm waiting of having surgery, and this has brought me down a lot because I can't do high intensity exercise and this fills me with thoughts, I realized that in the months in which I don't work, exercising, reading books and eating well are the best things for me
 
any knowledgeable website or doctor or person will tell you that women’s cycles can vary a bit without there being any problems

Have you recovered from invega more than once? How long did it take each time? I'm recovering from abilify again.
 
(This is a response to y’all and someone who was struggling with med side effects just like we all are)

I’m sorry to hear that brother. Just keep praying and have faith in him. No matter what.

Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

These evil pharmacy drugs are something from the devil. I think we can all agree on that. For when Jesus was in this world he did not give people pills to make them better about their emotions and life. For emotions are created by god to help us grow and shape us. God has a plan for us and the devil will do whatever it takes to throw you off. Keep believing in Jesus Christ and put all you trust in him and things will get better for all of us that are suffering. Amen 🙏
Its not that simple. The biggest god believers trully beautiful psychiatrist also been giving antipsychotics as it can help in some cases. The problem is that too many dummies becomes psychiatrists and force these drugs in cases when person didnt needed them or they give too many injections when all the person needed was one or just 2 weeks of pills but they give 10x more needed because they dont understand how powerful these drugs are.

4 months off today and am still experiencing severe anhedonia and lack so much pleasure in things. It’s also my birthday. 😞 so what a way to spend a birthday.

Any body have any advice for people who are 4 months+ out?

….does it get better?…

I talked with one guy who recovered after 5 years of invega injections. I think it can be all mental as long as you eat healthy and exercise, detox and have faith in God.
 
So I have been 2 weeks off all medications. I am 17 and a half months off invega. I feel drastically better. I was on antidepressants for two months. The first month it made me feel amazing and the following month it made me feel horrible. Now after quitting, I am making more eye contact, I have conversations easier. I have more motivation to do things. Life feels like it is worth living. It is getting better. I’m still not fully healed but I am closer to being an independent person again. My sexual function is all the way back. I have lost all of the weight from invega. I am mentally sharper. Still not 100% myself however. There is hope it just takes a long time. To think where I was last year at this time. Sitting on the couch all day waiting for the next day to come. Sleeping for the rest of the day. I am drastically better than I was last year. Good luck to you all.
 
Why do antipsychotics cause such extreme boredom? i could get the through the day so easily before without even doing anything just like googling stuff and doing a few things around the house. Now I can barely find the energy to take a shower or change my clothes.
