AN INTERESTING QUESTION AND ANSWER DISCUSSION FOUND ON REDDIT, REGARDING INVEGA AND RECOVERY:

Queasy_Chemistry_844: "How long does anhedonia last from invega sustenna?

I took two shots of this poison and ever since I haven’t felt any pleasure or positive emotions. It’s like I have no dopamine or serotonin. I’ve lost interest in everything and life feels so dull and grey. Nothing is enjoyable anymore. Has anyone experienced this before? Any responses would be much appreciated."

synapsesandjollies: "well, theres three stages to recovery from the depots. the first stage is getting the drug out of your system. by design, the shots are not just a transient, long-acting drug, the shots put a portion of the drug in your body which is continuously being circulated and acting on your brain. the shots last weeks or months, and you will still have the drug circulating even after the re-up time they would normally be giving you additional shots -- just less than you would have around if you redosed. depot shots are also more potent in the sense that daily oral dosing has a peak and trough potency throughout the 24 hour dosing period but depots are more continuous.

the second stage is your receptors clearing of the drug. even if the circulating drug was magically removed from your system in an instant, it can still be bound to your receptors. not all psychiatric drugs involve this specific concern, but risperidone/paliperidone is one of the drugs seen to bind semi-permanently to certain receptors and only after the receptors recycle their binding site will the action of the drug be removed. the dose can fall appreciably before the actual binding site sheds the drug that is jammed in there. so, there is more to getting away from the drug than simply pissing it out over time.

the third stage is growing away from the changes that drug use had caused in your system which can stick around indefinitely even if every single bit of the drug is wiped from your body. a single dose can already cause long-term changes, and weeks of continuous dosing all the more. the nervous system is extremely sensitive, and must be in order to perform its tasks, and is also very changeable. when a potent drug goes in there and fucks tons of things up, the nervous system is not usually going to snap back super quick and without issue. recovery is typically more gradual, and may only be partial for some people.

how long the anhedonia lasts depends as much on the individual and situation as on the drug itself. we are not all equally susceptible to particular drug harms, we dont all neuroplastically adjust at the same rate, we dont all have the same context of use (medical health, any other drugs being taken, diet, lifestyle, sleep quality, mental wellbeing, education and preparation, etc). it is not at all unusual for people to struggle for many months or even years after this kind of drug reaction, but some people see progress pretty quickly, within just days or weeks of their dosing being discontinued.

anhedonia, apathy, or similar such effects are among the most typical and expected with these drugs (whether your prescriber called them antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, antidepressants, sedatives, sleep meds, or whatever else). neuroleptics have a neuroleptic effect -- the blunting of pleasure and emotions is a part of the drug types very namesake. if all other factors are favorable, most patients will probably notice positive changes within the first 3 months off the drug, but it can take much longer for the symptom to more fully diminish and ive not seen good data on how often people get back to 100% even years later.

maybe youll be lucky and see lots of progress within the first month or two clear of the drug, or maybe youll go a year without seeing a lot of improvement but still recover much more substantially later on."

Dude I swear to god, I saw my invega injections coming and I just did not figure out how it was going to go down. I thought it was going to be given to me by force. I thought I would be forced to go to the local mental hospital if I didn't change my medicaid plan (I didn't, also wouldn't have been able to go to the good one anyway because it doesn't accept medicaid period), but I ended up going there because I signed the papers while I was on a benzodiazepine. I could have gone to a low-security facility, a crisis center, that wasn't authorized to give invega if I went earlier.

I clearly remember dicking around in my favorite game, totally not taking advantage of the open enrollment period where you can change your medicaid plan in Michigan, and I was suddenly struck with the thought "I should change my insurance or else I'm going to go to the bad mental hospital I read about and get an injection that will ruin my life."

I had bad feelings about talking to the scammer who drove me further into psychosis. If I hadn't spoken to them, I would have probably just stopped taking Straterra, talked to my friend more, and got some sleep.

I asked for Ativan because I knew friends who took it and idk it sounded nice. "Don't take both of those, you'll be really out of it." I took both of them.

"DON'T TAKE INVEGA IT WILL CAUSE A CASCADING EFFECT ON YOUR HEALTH AND IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE. INFERTILITY. ORGAN FAILURE. NO PERSONAL SUCCESS." Something is Wrong with my hormones and insulin levels. It is bad for people with PCOS and I have PCOS, long suspected back then and not yet confirmed. This one really scares me, I cried when I got it and I almost rejected the medication, but I didn't move fast enough out of my room or say the right things. I do know that I'm technically not sterile, my AMH is fine and my ovaries had follicles and no cysts when I had them looked at. I don't know how true that whole thing was or if it was stuff from my anxiety from reading parts of the side effect pamphlet. I didn't read the whole thing because, in my mind, I was taking invega to save my life from character assassination and being killed by nazis.

"Don't join Bluelight, you'll ruin your recovery." This place made me so anxious I decided I needed Prozac and now I have PSSD.

I've always had these weird premonitory feelings. I scrolled past a picture of my friend on Facebook and my brain went "She's dying." And I thought "Haha, why would she be dying?" She was dying around the time I saw that picture.
