Never took the pills, they started me on the injection within a day of getting to hospital. It takes about 5-6 months for the drug to be considered not having an effect on your body anymore. Ive been off it for a year and a half. I feel fine, but i know it sucks. That drug took the life right out of me.
Youll feel better, takes time.

Im not sure, probably 6 or 7. I was getting them every 3 weeks at 150 mg.
When did you take it? I dont think it matters how many you get, just 1 will still take 5 half lives to be gone (1 half life is about 25-55 days for that drug if im remembering right). But in reality you wont feel much from the drug after 2-3 half lives.
As for me i stopped the drug last year in April, and laid in bed for 20 hours a day until june. But dont follow my example!
Pro tip: exercise makes you get that stuff out faster. So become a jogging junkie or something and youll feel better in no time.

I do the same thing I donāt get out of bed
I just lack creativity and natural drive I donāt have a paradigm I need my brain back I think it takes a year to recover from a single shot
I became psychotic again about 1 and half months after an abilify 250mg injection. 6 months is a long ass time, they arenāt that strong. Maybe because itās a different AP? Weird.
@jane_doe u recovered from invega sustena after 5 shots.
U Will recover I promise. When I had the shots I was rendered completely useless invega sustena truly is poisen.
But it get better and better after each month of recovering.
I know itās hard to say donāt stress as I know u are but time will heal you.

Going to work like I do every day. I had side-effects from Invega and it didnāt work as well for me as Geodon, but no lasting damage.
