I have positive feelings and energy in the morning ...which is a change inoticed over 2 days....but itgoes backto no energy and anger, depression by noon ....does it have anything to do with hormones or a sign of revovery? ....
Does recovery show up allday or only when you have more energy earlier in the day?
It's a window, a sign that recovery is possible. Ive been noticing some positive signs with me too and we have close time frame and amount of injections.
Ive had a slight increase of motivation and pleasure but it's not constant and was more present in the night for me rather than morning. Month 4 now.
 
Please share your dosage, number ofinjections and date you got them.
I’m not sure what amount the first shot of the loading dose was but the second loading dose shot was 150mg, then I had 3 more shots after that at 75mg. Loading dose was in February and last injection was in May. 5 injections in total
 
@Decisive Healed.
Recovery Story
2 Loading Injections 150mg and 100mg a week later. 2 monthly injections 75mg.

How long did it take for @Decisive to heal?

My other question is, some guys have said their libido isnt what it was before invega, what do older guys like @paranoid android and others who recovered would say about their libido? I know @paranoid android took testosterone shots but i wonder where his libido be without those shots.

Without the shots it was still pretty high. Now its like 18 year old fuckin levels though
 
Oh another thing I’ve noticed is that I’m back to finding some enjoyment from playing Pokemon go which I lost for a while there but was obsessed with it before invega. Am also able to enjoy watching tv shows and follow what’s happening without getting bored of it, not that I watch much TV but still

Thats a good sign stuff like that was the last thing to come back for me
 
I lost a few pounds in the last few months which is good because i haven’t done much different. I gained 20 pounds while in the hospital and even more after i got discharged but luckily my clothes still fit me for the most part since they were getting baggy. They tried to tell me my weight loss was due to depression in the hospital when i just had an active job
 
Time since last shot
Typical D₂ blockade
How it tends to feel
Month 175–85 %Full effect, strongest side-effects
Month 270–80 %Very similar to month 1
Month 365–75 %Feels almost the same as month 2
Month 455–65 %Gradual lightening
Month 5–645–55 %Noticeable relief, more energy and emotion
Month 7 +<45 %Residual traces only
Chart for dopamine blockade.
It seems that month 4 is when gradual changes can be noticed but there still be significant blockage. Month 5-6 is where meaningful change is more noticeable perhaps. Could it be, that this is just a hellish waiting game. It’s excruciating at the very least, but I gotta take my supplements, go for ny daily walks, go to the gym, stay on my diet and hope there is some validity to the science of half life on this drug. Logically- I would think that there has to be an end to this as the drug can’t stay in our system forever. The recovery stories are plentiful.

I’m hoping that the people who we think didn’t recover actually just left the forum before they recovered and never came back to report their recovery ….
 
After 9 months it was 1.0 ng/mL. And yes, glute.
I think you eliminate invega more slowly than most people and it could've been made worse by your injection site. I think you are going to be ok and you are going to be so happy when you go back to normal!

What is the source of your chart? ...very good info.

I am also interested in knowing when do motivation, libido, sexual function, athleticism, regular sleep and apetite, imagination, amd creativity comeback?

Ive been using ChatGPT to better understand how Invega works — specifically how it blocks dopamine and how long those effects last in the brain. I’ve been asking detailed, science-based questions because I want to make sense of what’s happening in my body and why I still feel the way I do months after my last injection.

Im not preaching this as being 100% accurate, but it seems useful. Would you say being in the fourth month you notice any change, even if subtle that could accurately represent the chart, in my previous statement.
 
This is me before Risperdal Consta 50mg injections: https://sanishtech.com/i/Mypi7SkPdgo.jpeg

And this is me, 15 months after Risperdal Consta Injections: https://sanishtech.com/i/kW50CJOADrv.jpeg


I’am not ashamed for how I look rn, because they (who did this to me) should be ashamed for what they did, and they have the audacity and the arrogance to call this brain-destroying-poison a “medicine”.

Poor fella…
I feel your pain, i feel all exactly the same. Just existing without a soul.
 
Fasting is the only option left for me, if no improvements come i will accept the fact that this is permanent damage to the brain and body.
