The longest invega recovery I've seen is over 1 year. The people in PAWS from things like Pornography, benzos, and illicit substances, I've seen people who haven't recovered in over 3 years (WITHOUT relapse). Also those in this group struggling from invega also have things they do that is destroying their health. Please be fair and acknowledge these problems too. Good luck!

I'm still in the process of recovery, more than 3 years off. I never do the things you listed, but these are obviously not good for recovery. I've seen cases where people would take benzos every day for a year, at high doses of diazepam 5mg+ and that would stall recovery. Heroin, ritalin and MDMA can also mess with recovery, severity of influence depends on consistency.

That's horrible. Certainly recovery is possible, just may take more than a year I guess. For me, longest I was messed up was about 8 months but that was from a single shot not multiple in succession.

Have you recovered from injections more than once? This one 10mg injection is effecting me as long as a 234mg shot did🤦‍♂️

Invega recovery is tough but it's nothing compared to addictive drugs and behaviors. The longest invega recovery I've seen is over 1 year.

Generally it's not useful to compare levels of suffering like that. If someone is struggling, they are struggling. I take your point that people need to recognize other issues in their life though.
 
Ive lost all cognitive ability I have no clue how this is possible, but it will result in my suicide. Life is not worth living as a vegetable. No memory no thoughts feelings emotions. I have no chance at recovery I have complete executive dysfunction
 
I also have tons of support from my family, but nothing helps anymore sadly. Cognitive dysfunction with awareness is impossible to live with even if you have people to talk to. I cant form sentences other than I got injected and its messing with my thoughts. And I wish this didnt happen but it did there is no hope for me anymore.

Please don't. If you wrote these sentences, you have not lost all cognitive ability. It will be ok, give it time.

You might be like this for months, but I promise you that you won't be like this forever. I recovered enough to search for jobs. Everything has improved for me even though it's not 100% better.
 
Hello my brothers, do not worry, recovery is coming for everyone. I recovered after a two-year treatment journey, and everything is now working and in its right place. I wish you good luck. Do not let the negative comments affect you. I almost committed suicide at the beginning of my treatment, but patience is the main thing in this process. Be patient. Strong

Hmm if it was the month long formula then it would be possible to feel residual effects after 5 months. The stuff they mix with ativan or whatever to knock people out in the hospital for a few hours, that certainly would not be lingering after 5 months.

I’m not sure what it is then there’s nothing else it could be..? I was given the 10mg shot once, 10mg haldol pill 5-6 times, and olanzapine pills a few times in my 3 day hospital stay.
