@invegauser yes I think I will take you up on you figuring out the math. I tried to do it and I got pretty confused trying. ( maybe it’s the poison? ) I’m glad you mentioned doing the math on this because it turns out I have received several more injections than I initially first thought. Which is scary. I am hoping it doesn’t take several years to get this crap out of my body.
January 2017: 234mg 2 weeks later: 156mg
february 2017: 156mg
march 2017: 156mg
april 2017: 156mg
may 2017: 156mg
june 2017: 156mg
july 2017: 156mg
August 2017: 234mg
September 2017: 234mg
for a total of 10 injections
I thought it was only 8 but I miscounted. Ugh.
I also wanted to mention for all the women who are struggling with sexual dysfunction, I was not able to orgasm for months when taking the poison. When I got off of invega a few months later I was able to orgasm again. However, things are still not 100%. By the time I am ready to orgasm my husband is already done and the O is not as strong as it once was. I also should mention my breasts leak ALOT during sex. I know the two are interconnected so maybe that’s why. Since taking the Bromocriptine the leakage is less than what it was but still happens. Sorry so graphic, but if any other person is like me I want as much info as possible. Knowing people have the same symptoms it makes it easier to deal with because you know others are dealing with it too.
Another thought of mine is since Jansen “Johnson and Johnson” has NOT been exactly forthcoming with their findings from Invega Sustenna. That’s why you see all of these lawsuits because they didn’t mention or downplayed their findings. So we may actually not know how long exactly it takes to rid this garbage from our bodies. It is so incredibly frustrating that I may have to deal with this weight gain for years. I have worked so hard in the way of exercise and diet. I have cleaned up my eating and I work out 5 days a week. Where I use to be able to not do anything and stay a normal weight ( for me ) but now I work out to just maintain the 80lbs I gained. Not a pound, not even one will budge to come off.
My blood work, meaning my estrogen and thyroid all came out normal. The Prolactin was the only thing that was off. My psychiatrist said that normal prolactin for a woman is between 25-30. My prolactin level was 61. Bloodwork was taken in January which was 4 months since my last injection. So my prolactin is over double what it should be at 4 months out. I will be getting more bloodwork done next month and will post the results to see if the prolactin has gone down being treated with the Bromocriptine.
