The person with no hunger? Who recovered
Click to expand...
received two injections of Invega days apart in September 2022. I felt like I was living in a twilight zone after receiving this medication. I can't think clearly. I had no appetite. I had severe insomnia. I couldn't sleep properly for over a year. I went 16 months without a period. I had cystic acne all over my back and shoulders. I took a shuffling walk. I had no thoughts. I had to force myself to take showers. I had no thirst or hunger signals. I had no emotion. I couldn't cry. I couldn't laugh. I had no motivation to do anything. I was a complete zombie. I am completely cured of everything. I thank GOD for this daily. I wanted to encourage anyone suffering from the side effects of antipsychotics that recovery is indeed possible. I can attest to that. Please take care of yourself. Be encouraged. Never give up and never lose hope. Red well

wow good shit , your quiet lucky your showing signs of recovery already. I'm 3 months off and I feel basically the same, the anhedonia is still there no joy in anything 😭. I did have 9 shots though which probably prolongs my recovery time.

i had them and the only thing i noticed was that my sex drive stopped completely. i didn't notice any other side effects, but everyone is different, maybe my body handles it better than others... i've never had invega to compare it to.

How long has he been off of them? 6mg is a pretty high dose, I believe that is what the injections are equivalent to.

Remind him that most of the time, people go back to normal when they quit antipsychotics.

I think he just recently stopped. He is very suicidal. Someone in this thread had eleven injections and healed from it. I keep encouraging him that he’ll heal. I don’t want to let anyone else down after what happened to Bojana. I should’ve stayed in communication with her. I kinda went back to living my life. I rarely think about Invega. I get online only to encourage others.
 
The joy of feeling complete again. I am so happy guys with life again. I get to smile and feel warm emotions towards my two month old grand daughter. I enjoy music again. When I cry I feel it inside. If my feelings are hurt I do notice it again. Last summer I was trying to drink liquor. I was driving to work smoking a vape pen. I could never feel a sense of relief. I was trying so desperately to feel something. I played perfection alone in an elementary school cafeteria. I rode scooters throughout the hallway. I played basketball alone in a gym. I ran back in fourth as fast as I could to boost my heart rate. I tried to feel like a kid again. I hoped maybe that would heal my brain completely. I felt a disconnect at all times. I would scream while crying trying to feel the connected emotions. I would gamble on my phone. I never felt a boost of happiness from winning. I could barely sleep. I was hoping to pass away from natural causes. I had no joy. Life was not worth living in that state to me. My fear of hell. My love for my daughter stopped me from considering doing anything to myself. I can honestly say that MY life has gone back to normal. I would sit at work and text Bojana. Bojana would congratulate me on the smallest glimpse of success. I would always encourage her. I promise you guys that healing is possible. Think outside the box. Tap into the kid within. Don’t just sit back waiting for recovery. My goal was to heal naturally. I did it. I’ll keep returning to share my success story. This time last year I had no idea I’d be doing this well.
That I’d be someone’s grandmother. It just shows you how life can change for the better. I am living proof of that.
