My brain feels something like a headache but it's not a headache. Feels like brain shrinks and then expands every couple seconds. It gives me weird feelings. And it does seem to happen same time I get worse anhedonia, so it happens usually in the late afternoon But my windows are getting longer and the akathisia has calmed down abit. I take L theanine and magnesium gycinate at bedtime, seems to help.

I know how it can feel to have these weird brain feelings to accompany the anhedonia. You'll get through it, I'm fairly certain I will even though sometimes I have low points and doubts. I've had an absurd amount of side effects from this medication and they all seem to come and go.

So it’s been 14 months since my last injection …. I am maybe 3 percent better …. The only thing that has changed is that I can watch Netflix but I don’t enjoy it at all … I am still completely dead inside , no emotions , no interests , no desires to do anything at all other than lay in my bed … I recently spent 5 days in hospital because my inactivity has lead to my bowel becoming inflamed …. I can barely walk now … I am a 23 year old man that before the injections I was leaping over 10 foot fences to do graffiti missions with a heavy backpack full of paint…. I was strong and very healthy …. These injections destroyed me beyond anything you can imagine …. I have nothing now , no friends no job , no hobbies , no interests …. Nothing …. I am dead …. I will wait another year and then if nothing has improved I will kill my self …. I hope others have more luck than me …. Peace

Don’t give up! There’s lots of successful recovery stories! It does require patience , perseverance, hard work and living healthy. You got this!!
 
I dont know. Everyone’s different and I think people are suffering separate conditions brought on by invega. Sounds like a lot of us have developed chronic fatigue syndrome from invega. I couldn’t hold down a job if my life depended on it. I’m tired after 10 mins of exercise.

Even if I recovered my energy levels I’d still be left with this feeling of hopelessness. There’s no purpose and everything is pointless. It sucks being able to think having anhedonia - I wish I never knew what this was.

I don't know why we all sit back and take this shit. I know i'm not. The doctor who did this to me is going to pay dearly...financially.
 
From reading through this thread most people who got better noticed recovery at about the 8 month mark. Did it just get instantly better out of nowhere?

I’m worried now that my outlook on life will keep me from ever recovering. I know almost everyone was suicidal but I have the feeling that everything in life is pointless and lots of fears/anxieties about life getting worse eg: getting injected again.
 
Guys they gave me abilify shot because i landed in hospital again and i have no side effects. Im shocked. I thought they all the same but seems liked invega is the worst shit of them all. Maybe because ablify is partial agonist of dopamine? I get full erections and pleasure from music

I hit my mother 3 times with open fist for hospitalizing me last time even tho it wasnt needed she just wanted to control me and do a power move on me i hate that bitch. They plan to give me another ablify injection in 2 days and release me. Im shocked that i feel ok on it.

Why you on clopixol injection too? For how long are you on CTO? How was your recovery from invega injections last time?

I'm on Clopixol injections because I was hospitalized again. I wasn't sleeping for 6 nights in a row and I was sure I was about to die from a heart attack, so I disappear from home so my family won't see me dieing (stupid decision), and guess what? they called the cops on me and I'm hospitalized again.

I'm on forced treatment until April, but they will prolong it according to my psychiatrist.

My last recovery was great honestly, my libido was almost back completely and I was feeling fine, better than now that's for sure.

That makes me full of hope knowing you had 8 and i had only 2 of ablify which is much lighter then invega. Thanks for fueling me with hope bro. Im sure you will recover this time aswell it will just take longer time depending how many injections they will give you
