Mental Health - Coming off Invega Sustenna (paliperidone)

Hi, I was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia last year and was forced to take Invega Sustenna at 100mg a month for 10 months started back on December 5th 2012. The medication gave me severe anhedonia and rendered me an emotionless zombie who cannot function. I have lost my job and have been on...

the guy who shared my room in psychiatry he was taking haldol injections 7 ampoules I asked him if he was skysofrene and if he had ever heard voices or if he had ever had hallucinations he told me no I was just violent he This world disgusts me..
 
I applied to four jobs, 3 are budtender jobs (a plentiful and well-paying type of job I don't need to get another degree for) and the other is a seasonal greenhouse job. Both possibilities pay a similar wage. I'm hoping for the greenhouse job, I would be better at it and I don't have to commit to it so I can visit my best friend next fall. They got into a car accident and while they're fine, their car isn't and it could be a while until I can see them.

Pretty much! I still have a little music and sexual anhedonia. I'm still struggling with motivation and focus, more than I did before. I think that's from PSSD, I was finding motivation a month off of invega, but I think I placeboed myself into feeling well enough to draw back then because I thought it was out of my system and I just needed to heal. If you go back into my posts, I talked about doing a painting. I never finished it.

My aphantasia is also fading. My imagination isn't as vivid as before, but I have one now.
 
It's a little easier being stationary and doing nothing or waiting, not too long ago I couldn't stand waiting or doing nothing, I would lose my patience easily.
I think it's restlessness.
