What? Only thing I've taken is Adderall a few times. I have all the same side effects as from invega but it is lasting longer. Talked to someone that got this shot and took 10 months to recover and another that is still having issues over a year later

I just want my pineal gland back. I’ve lost my connection to the “other worlds”.

I don’t want to be stuck in 3D forever. This is so bad.

“The pineal gland was commonly called the “third eye” for many reasons, including its location deep in the center of the brain and its connection to light via the circadian rhythm and melatonin secretion. Many spiritual traditions believe it serves as a connection between the physical and spiritual worlds.”

I have that "third eye" feeling when I get stoned again, especially if I meditate. I think it can come back for you.

Anyway, estradiol cream has really helped my libido and sensation and I've only been on it for three days. I have tuberculosis and I don't know how long I've had it but that can negatively impact hormone levels. Luckily hormone levels can recover after treatment and it's unlikely my fertility has been impacted yet. I guess that might be where my problem was the whole time, who knows.
 
The past few years have been like:


Ableist job discrimination >> pandemic >> chronic illness >> chemical lobotomy + chemical castration >> now I have tuberculosis. -_- I just hope it's one of the tamer strains I can get rid of with one or two drugs. I feel fine so far.

same all of the above but replace tuberculosis with ear infection which led to permanent tinnitus . I hope you recover soon.

Man Invega really fucked my brain up so badly that I have this idea in my head where pre Invega I was euphoric and happy all the time when I know that's not really true. So I have this idea that i'm not truly recovered until i feel euphoric and happy all the time. Normal people are not euphoric 24/7 but in my defense, I feel dead inside and life is grey and anhedonic so anything better than this state would be considered euphoric for me. I lost touch with who I was pre Invega . I have completely forgotten what normal life was like that I'm not sure if I would be even be able to tell when I have fully recovered, I suppose if I feel better than what I feel now would be a benchmark to see if I'm recovered but Invega left me so damaged that I doubt I would even be able to tell. Anyone else feel the same?

You have been off for 8 months now and you haven’t recovered yet?

yup off 8 months and no recovery which makes sense. I had 10 invega shots and 3 haldol shots. I have either permanently destroyed my brain with 13 shots or it will take me 2-3 years to recover.

I think labido should correlate with feeling better in terms of mood and feeling less anhedonia

It did for me. My anhedonia started going away at around the same time. I started actually looking after myself and started loosijng weight i had put on around the same time. I went from being 225lbs to 170lbs. I actually got to skinny there for awile and now since i started lifting weights im 200lbs of mostly muscle.

I did not fully recover from invega/abilify until i was off about a year though. My attention span was the last thing to come back. But it may have taken so long with me because i was getting akathisia from the shitty latuda i was on. I had to stop taking that and switch to zyprexa cause i got akathisia so bad i had to go to the hospital
