Idk sometimes I use ChatGPT even if I know I don’t have because is not a good tool for emotive or health use but..

One Times it say that recovery is basically garanted because it’s how biology work, we keep recovering over time so it’s inevitabile to make a full recovery.

Another Times it say that full recovery its impossibile because the impact on the brain is way too deep an extended to be fully healed.

Idk what to think anymore, at this point only time will tell us, but clearely after 18-24 points someone should have a clear image of his recovery, because after the first 2 years the neuroplasticity seem to slow down and to set the new baseline, idk..

You will heal the brain can heal almost anything.
 
Has anyone here gotten a paliperidone blood level test? I got mine and it’s 1 ng/mL after 9+ months off the injection. That means it’s still releasing the drug into my bloodstream.

Would love to compare my results with anyone else.

It’s exactly that “almost” that scare me. Its these 15 months without improvements that scare me..

Everybody keep saying “The brain has amazing capacity to heal”, but where? I don’t see that in 15 months..

I though i would never heal to. When i couldnt get a erection for 2 fucking years i never thought i would get one ever again either. I thought i was fucked. But now i have the sex drive of a teenager again. I feel like a 18 year old again. You will heal to just hang in there

I dont get doctors writing off these symptoms for invega as weed induced lol. When i was in the psych ward the first quack shrink had tried to tell me i had weed psychosis. I have smoked weed and hash since i was 12 and had no problem. She diagnosed a few other people in there as having weed psychosis as well. This is yet another example of shrinks being plain lazy. They dont give a fuck about their patients and just write them off. Fucking sickens me. It's the same thing with them usig shit like ECT it's lazy and barbaric
 
I feel horrible. Only drug that help me after this stupid injection was akineton, and it only helped with the slow movement problem. I'm going drink coffee tomorrow. Hope that helps.

@RisperdalConsta50mg whats wrong with your sleep? Is your sleep broken or insomnia? I do have deep sleep but get nightmares sometimes. I also wake up once during sleep.

It’s like if my sleep is very superficial, like if cannot completely fall asleep but only keep semi-sleep, i keep waking every 20 minutes, i cannot fall asleep before 00:00 (12PM) because i don’t feel tiredness, i cannot keep the sleep over the 5AM and i go out of bed like at 7AM, during the day i cannot biologically catch the sleep since it’s impossible to fall asleep, i can only close my eyes but that’all, my brain keep being awake and won’t stop working by himself.

These are some really strange things because i never had this before risperidone, it’s also happen that I have TD while i try to fall asleep in the afternoon, i have ripetitive spasm like TD, and if for some reason i Just manage to fall asleep then I got a simil adrenaline hit that wake me out of nowhere immediately in the moment i start to sleep.
 
Hey all. I'm someone who recovered multiple times from invega. And also other meds. I'm just here to say you can actually live a good/decent life on meds. Avoid those addictions you have and that bad diet. 7-12 months is very short in terms of drug recovery and I even doubt it being damaging. Benzos/Porn I've seen stories of people not recovering for over 5 years. And that's without relapse. Acknowledge the addiction and then see the difference yourself.

It’s like if my brain process sleep as a life threat and keep me out of it, it’s really wired honestly, never had nothing like that before

I don’t think none of us here have addiction since we cannot simply have response to stimuli and we almos have complete sexual disfunction, i don’t think that masturbate one time every 2-3 days is the problem here.
 
We are victims of a barbaric practice…

People love to say: “It helps so many people, it just didn’t work for you.”

So because it “helps” some people, the rest of us just don’t even matter right? Hahahaha what a fucking joke

Hi Ammar, how many injections did you get? and how long did it take for you to recover from it?

Have you tried sleeping pills? Im not advocating z drugs here but i take zopiclone for sleep and it works great. I think its addiction potential is somewhat overstated

At the end of the day invega did help me. Psychosis and cotards syndrome was far worse then invega for me. As shitty as invega was i would still take it over that shit. But wth far better drugs like zyprexa around theres no need to prescribe invega.
 
Not being able to feel sexual attraction or even romantic desire anymore is actually a terrible feeling.

It’s been almost 10 months since my injections. I just can’t do this anymore.

I had zero sex drive on invega and abilify. I didnt get it up for over 2 years because of that shit. However now i have the sex drive of a teenager so hang in there trust me you will get better.

If yor a guy go get your testosterone levels checked. I got mine checked and they where really low and i blame this on the invega and abilify injections. No doubt the opiates i was addicted to years ago didnt help but when got the test done i was not addicted to morphine and was only using it for maybe a week at a time. I am on testosterone replacement therapy and holy shit the stuff works great.

Were you on invega pills or injections? If it was injections than what were your dosages and number of injections and how long did it take to recover?

Do you feel non-sexual love or feelings towards anyone?

You also didnt mention how long your erections last if you do masturbate?
