Anhedonia After Taking Invega Sustenna

I have gotten some of my feelings back but I am on a really low dose of abilify make sure it is good for you and that you feel better especially on a lower dose.

Hey, I have gotten some of my feelings back and I have been slowly going down on my meds and I am on abilify now and I still feel a little empty. I don't know how I can feel completely whole again from what Invega took away from me but your doctor will tell you not to go off it because the risk of psychosis is higher and worse if you all of a sudden stop but if you do it responsibly and slowly you can have somewhat of your life back. They are lying to you if they say its not the medication if you haven't been feeling like that before you took the medication then its the medication they don't know what its like they aren't the ones taking it. Listen to your body and if your doctor ever wants to up your dose get a new doctor. Pharmaceutical companies pay doctors more if they have patients taking higher doses. They won't tell you this of course. Just know that medicating an ill person is not the only answer. Yes medication is important for some but not everyone because we are all different.You might not get the support of your family on this one but it is very important to have their support. Do your own research too their are a lot of studies out there that tell you how anti-psychotics lessen your life span reduce sex drive cause skin discolouration dry lips and makes you less cognitively alive. It just baffles me how much doctors rely on the Atypical antipsychotics to do the cure if its not one they put you on its another sometime you just have to find the right one and all of them cause you to gain weight there is not one that i have read that didn't and that definitely is not something I'm willling to live with because it gets me depressed and worse off. Just realize how harsh your symptoms were like were they telling you to harm yourself or if you were just completely enveloped in the state then yeah medication is good but if it completely changes your life look to being on a low a dose as possible.
