I’ve noticed I’ve become more interested in some things recently. For example, I used to always look at the item shop when I played games to see what’s available. For about 12 months I couldn’t care less what they had to offer. Now it’s one of the things I sort of look forward to checking each day.
 
My DHEA is now in the normal range. That's a "mother hormone" that fell after invega. I'm happy knowing my hormones are probably back to where they were, with some dysfunction I was born with. At least in range for my age.

I had Wellbutrin for a minute after invega. It made me anxious and I had very bad intrusive thoughts that made me want to die so I stopped.

I'm glad you're getting better fast. It's unsafe to take an SSRI after invega so definitely stay away from that shit!

I think my IQ is back to normal but it took a while. Information feels less meaningful though, it's strange. This aspect was worse than it is now so I still have hope it will go back to normal. Before invega, I would slot in info and I was able to predict things based on pattern recognition, and understand connections. I was better at this than most people, I think it was a gift from my autism. When your brain does that too much and you start making conspiracies and think you can predict the future and it doesn't stop, that's when you need antipsychotics because they do help that. But when you're normal outside of drug induced psychosis, it will fuck you up.
 
Wow. You are so right about the pattern recognition and predicting the future. I think people like us were gifted with a higher IQ and it's like a high performance car that if not properly steered will crash even harder. And yes that is the problem. If our minds stay on a positive track we come up with inventions, innovations, ideas we are creative. We see patterns in one school of thought and branch out the future and it apply it to other schools of thought.

But if we go down a dark path it's insidious what we realize is possible, all the evil things that mankind has done and can do. And we think well if I thought of that the probability is that somebody else has thought of that to. They are probably already doing it! And we freak out. And you are right about that we get so good at forecasting the future we start to assume we are always right. Again when we go dark then we see a really dark future.

I'm glad to see your IQ is coming back. I'm really scared about that. I've thought I'll have to live my life trying to figure out how to make it being a dumbass now. You go from usually being the smartest person in the room to the dumbest. People that you didn't think were intelligent now seem like geniuses. It certainly is a humbling experience.

One of the good things though that if we recover perhaps we can rebuild our mind more positive now. And learn to take care of it. But down with the conspiracies and just say you know what I'm just gonna be the best person I can be and the world can go to hell.

That's the dopamine working... Games simulate reality. Improving and getting to the next level. My advice would be to put your efforts towards something more beneficial in real life. Let your brain make new connections to things that will improve your life. It's a great opportunity. Just my two cents. By the way, how long have you been off?
 
Also guys exercise plays a big factor in neurogenesis so try to push yourself. I ran a mile today and am going to try to run 3 times a week.

Push your self mentally too. I fixed my car, replaced the blend door actuator. A small step but a big step. Identify problems in your life and fix them. Start small. You want to go after low hanging fruit so you can get the dopamine hit and retrain your brain to start associating effort with reward. That is the key to motivation. These neural pathways have been dormant on the course of our treatment. We have to jump start it. Easy wins will give you a dopamine hit, reinforce the effort and motivate you to hunt bigger game.

recovery is looking very possible. i'm able to do my skincare routine and shower without it feeling like a chore again. anhedonia is lessening every month, i managed to beat dead space 2 in one day. sleep is also getting better, not waking up as much anymore in the middle of the night. march 11th will be 5 months off. i feel like i can almost see the finish line. :)
 
I'm really enjoying painting again. I'm painting an orchid mantis, a bug I always thought was beautiful.
 
7 months off invega.

I am more than 150% recovered.

Libido, Sexual function all recovered more than full.

My ;mind, brain and body recovered 100% as well.

I really think invega eventually lead me to better my life.

I hope you guys have hope for the better.

You can do it.

The fakest recovery story I ever heard. 🤣
 
10 months off Invega.
Nowhere near recovered.
From one injection.

Still suffering from side effects!!!!

I haven't even began to recover.
 
@wbga you expect us to believe you recovered? 🤣

You got the same two injections my brother @t_xeplionhell got.

He has 4 years recovering and is barely 80%.

And you have 7 months and now are 150%?



Man get the heck outta here!!!


Obviously you never had invega.


These are the fake invega victims I'm talking about people. Real ones, open your eyes.
 
Me
@maryjaneforever
@t_xeplionhell

We are the only ones really suffering from invega. Most of the others are paid actors.

Fake victims of invega. 💯
i can see why you got invega.
you're insufferable as fuck and wonder why you never recovered. i can tell you why. you're just too fucked in the head, for example, faking a suicide on a mental health forum. it's a fact that no two bodies are the same. you don't know anything about anyone, stick to your own recovery and shut the fuck up already.
