Almost 7 months off invega and no noticeable signs of any improvements still feel numb no emotions still no libido still cant get hungry or full or any thirst still cant enjoy music my sleeping is still messed up still have no thoughts or emotions
 
One year with PSSD and I'm optimistic about my recovery. I don't have anhedonia or continual dp/dr. My emotions aren't all here but they get stronger every month. The physical health of my genitalia is improving, especially since I started pelvic floor therapy. My orgasms sometimes feel almost normal. I started really regaining erogenous sensation this month, sometimes it's 60% there. My libido only shows up once or twice a month. Clitoral ED is a little better, but there is a lot of room for improvement. I can feel my hormones going back to normal. My skin is smoothing out, but I'm not sure if it's because my estrogen is going up or because I started using a face oil with hyaluronic acid in it. My cognition is actually still improving, I thought it was fine but it's still getting better.

My last remaining symptoms are sexual dysfunction, sensation issues, and a degree of emotional blunting and mild memory problems. Getting PSSD on top of Invega was ridiculously bad, I hope it will be over soon.
 
Today marks 6 months since my last Invega injection, with little to no improvement. I still experience anhedonia, a blank mind, no thoughts, no emotions, worsened cognition, low IQ, and more. I'll give it another 6 months, and if I don't improve by January 2025, I will assume Invega permanently damaged my brain. The only improvement has been in my sleep. Until this week, I was sleeping 12-13 hours a night, making employment impossible, but since Monday, I’ve been consistently sleeping 6-7 hours, which I prefer. It’s odd that it took 6 months for my sleep to return to normal. I’m not sure why; maybe Invega levels in my brain is very minimal now?, but if that’s the case, why haven’t I improved in other areas? The only other positive is that I’m losing weight. That’s my monthly update.

It's crazy how lethal invega is that it effects us all with the same side effects and they dare blame it on negative symptoms of schizophrenia fkn bullshit. Unfortunately for you it will take a while since you had trinza. You will eventually recover but when you do, it won't even matter that you had to wait a while. You will appreciate life and bodily functions so much more.
 
hello my last injections date back to August 30, 2023, tomorrow it will be 1 year since my last injections it is much improved on the sexual side but still not like before, but the emotions that I have are only the negative ones (stress, fear a little of annoyances) the only positive emotion I had was today at my training my colleague rolled a joint at the base I didn't want to smoke since it would cause me a psychosis but I ended up pulling 2 3 lattes on joins and I didn't feel good at first and then I ended up having a little slip in class first time in a long time I hope this is the last year before my complete recovery inchallah

Get your testosterone checked. Invega can cause low test levels and that can manifest as anhedonia.

and 7 months off, are you talking about your last injection? you have to count from when you had to renew the injections for me for example my last injections was on August 30, 2023 it will be 1 year since my last but as it lasted 1 month it has been 11 months since I stopped

Yeah, this. Also don't jump to TRT, try hard exercise and some supplements first. TRT stops natural testosterone production and makes you infertile and you don't want that unless you don't want kids.
