@swiss
It's difficult to comprehend if you weren't injected by it, I understand however I can honestly say I was never depressed before Invega sustenna debilitated me.
 
Hey there, just leaving another post for those afflicted with weight gain:

"Other data revealed that Invega wasn’t as likely to cause significant weight gain compared to Zyprexa. Due to the fact that Zyprexa is known for being the most problematic antipsychotic in terms of weight gain, this isn’t really saying much. Users should assume that Invega is capable of causing weight gain, with prolactin contributing to weight increases."

"It was implied that those with higher pre-treatment BMIs gained less weight than those with lower BMIs. Furthermore, weight changes from Invega were based on the administered dosage – the greater the dose, the greater the increase.
  • Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17460786"
"

  • Blood sugar changes: While many studies suggest that blood glucose levels aren’t as likely to increase from Invega compared to other antipsychotics, it doesn’t mean that everyone maintains stable blood sugar levels while on this drug. Should your blood sugar increase during treatment with Invega, it may lead to significant weight gain. This is due to the fact that blood sugar increases cause insulin to spike, ultimately signaling to the body to store more fat."

Yet again, it is said that the weight gain is very likely attributed to elevated levels of prolactin. And just to restate: elevated prolactin can also affect mens' sexual function.
 
Found this on webmd, a male's review of cabergoline (Dostinex). The cabergoline was given to reduce prolactin levels, which are also often raised due to Invega.

"Comment:
MRI discovered Pit tumor. Dr. Ask me if i had any prob. Yes, no sex drive for many years. They revealed Prolactin level was 1700mg? After hormone test. Prescribed Cabergoline .5 mg. Prolac dropped to 30mg almost immediately. I rediscovered what women were for. My penis actually grew back to where it should be, very proud of it now. My testicles are sore occasionally but it is a good sore i think they are filling back up( my feeling only) now that i actually think about sex i asked my primary for Viagra. I used 1/2 50mg tablet (expensive stuff) thought I was walking around with somebody elses erection. Damn that felt nice. Now I am looking for a woman to share my 18 year old penis with. My wife has her own sexual problems. So here I am with a new predicament, we are both 55 y.o."
 
8 months and no sexual improvement. I feel like im permanantly fat. Its bullshit. I used to be 130 and 7 percent body fat. This is complete bullshit... I swear I just want to torture the people responsible for creating this medication.... Theres a sayin in order for something to live something has to die.... But for humans " In order for someone to live in comfort someone has to live in discomfort"... This is soo bullshit.... I just want to fully recover. I have nothing.... Does anybody want to die with me?
 
I feel like it's permanent too and I have thought about dying joey daily but I'm too scared to go through with it. Being fat is one thing but having the disability of not being able to exercise because of loss of strength is another. It'll be 9 months for me and the nightmare continues. I'll never be able to go to my mma gym and do bjj again which was my latest passion over the last couple of years. Has anybody tried antidepressants?

By the way people i don't mean to be so pessimistic it's just my 100% negative experience over the last 9 months
 
This is the second day im taking 3mg pills, after 10 months taking 6 and 9mg. Next week im going to taper it out with no medicines.
I dont agree with this drug but except of gaining 15 pounds it was not so bad taking it.
Also it was worth taking it because I got off weed and other substances now since I start this treatment, i think i will be off for some more time now to see how it works.

I wish you guys the best and dont be so negative!
 
I will attemp a fast after a few months, hopefully i can get rid of this disgusting fat.
 
Hey guys I deleted the last posts about depression and negative symptoms in the early stage of psychosis because I read again through all of your posts and fully acknowledge the lobotomizing and brain damaging effects of invega. I was confused because studies kept claiming it works for negative symptoms, while the thousands of pots on this thread are clear evidence that they induce depressiob and negative symptoms.

This makes sense as invega does block >80% of dopamine neurons in key brain areas
 
damn I have been totally ignoring the harm this drug has been doing to my body because of the fact that it's a monthly injection I totally forgot about it. I was wondering why I had literally zero sex drive ever and gained 30 pounds. Does weed not work or only work very slightly for you guys too?


How long will it take before I can trip on lsd again... I'm guessing invega sustanna blocks the effects seeing as it's an antipsychotic.

But I can't seem to find any info on it blocking weed's effects.
 
Im 2 month off no improvement can we take a blood test and see if poison is still inside or somehow to check it
 
To those of you who are not noticing and positive results as time goes by:

How would you feel about some coaching by using meditation, breath work, affirmations and visualizations to surely improve your life.

Would you be willing to take coaching sessions?

Hey mate :) at least now you know the cause! Yeah weed is a complete waste nowadays. Narshe81 (the original poster of this thread) stated that he "uses it as a marker for recovery". Now that I'm nearing 7 months off the injection however, i can sometimes feel some effects and am also using it as a marker for recovery. I do think someday in the distant future it'll be enjoyable/beneficial once more.

Fuck i miss LSD most... BUT I would strongly advise you to avoid it at all costs! APs & LSD DO NOT MIX WELL AT ALL, and can (probably will) cause you to experience neuroleptic malignment syndrome (seratonin syndrome) - scary & potentially lethal. Please, don't try it. It certainly blocks any worthwhile effects, and the two seem to be direct opposites. Keep in mind: both are synthetic.

Having said that, DMT can be used as a spiritual lifeline. Some people have had positive experiences with Mushrooms also.

Take care, rest easy & find something that helps pass the time - although it'll seem impossible to see an end to this type of suffering; At 7 months i'm beginning to realise that this may not be the case.
 
I have so many suicidal thoughts, that is not normal I dont want to go to psychiatry because I dont want new shit of drugs to completely destroy me. I try ectasy and cocaine in life but no side effects and this drug that must be cure and help destroys completely your body and soul I dont get it
