Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v11

@paranoid android did it take 3 months for your libido to fully return after abilify? Or was it partial?

Today I felt a tiny bit of sexual pleasure, I see this as a huge win. It was so subtle I didn't believe it at first, it's been roughly 11 months since I have felt it.

72 days since my last injection. Hoping for a fast recovery. I am very happy about this.

Took about 3 months give or take. It was one of he first signs of me getting better actually
 
Just gonna share that yohimbine hcl has been working very well for me energy wise, it's more gentle than ADHD meds and doesn't seem to build tolerance that fast. I would also recommend psychedelics + weed edibles for but due to psychosis risk pls do so at your own risk and pls don't ask questions because I'm constantly getting arrested and shit and dont need to self incriminate. On a totally unrelated and random note pharmahuasca does not build tolerance quickly like the others. It goes without saying that if u can't recover physically which is totally likely u will have change your outlook and attitude towards it or its just endless suffering. After having experienced severe trauma and becoming debilitated, I've noticed that the voice in my head is somehow funnier and in a way my perspective on life is more measured. I do miss the old me but that is also like fixating on something u can't change, this whole situation is like darwinism on steroids and I hope all of u can find a way to persevere. Not much else to say but yeah I am doing much better cognitively but otherwise my body and mind are still fucked it will prob take years (maybe up to 5???) or never happen at all but once again, there's no middle ground anymore so u have to take measures to cope imo.
 
I am worried I won’t recover, broken self had one shot and didn’t seem to recover by 13 months, I had two high doses
 
I made up my mind today.

I'm done getting prescriptions for Abilify Maintena.

Honestly, it's not much different from Invega Sustenna.

I feel lethargic, spaced out, and can't focus on music.

I didnt have akathesia from invega or abilify. The anhedonia went away at about the same time my libido came back

Good to hear because akathisia sucked bad. Did you recover fully? How did you know when your cognitive/memory ability went back to pre-invega level? Does our mind just know at that point?
 
Has anyone else lost their sense of direction and feels disoriented? Has anyone else lost track of time? As if detached from the passing of time and no longer participating and integrated within it?
 
I have lost of a lot my empathy after being injected with invega. I read somewhere that invega reduces your grey matter which is responsible for empathy for others. Before invega i used to cry over the pain of others which isnt what it used to be. Does this ever come back? Can @Invegatorture , @paranoid android , @silenthill and others who recovered please answer?

Damn it’s 16 months non-stop for me, i had something similar during the first months of panic attacks back in 2021 but then it went away alone but was different, that one is chemichally induced, it’s not some “natural” derealizzation..

have you tried keto diet? I remember somebody recommended it for raising BDNF levels.
