Hi, I have been taking Invega Sustenna 150mg monthly injection for 1 year and 2 months now. I have been going through the same shitty feeling the entire time I was on it which is basically periods of really low moods/drowsiness/tiredness/and no motivation to want to do anything 15-20 days after getting injection, then I start feeling a bit better when its near time to get injection again (last 5-10 days), then I get injected again and its back on the rollercoaster. It's been up and down this whole year and I think some people who felt what I felt would possibly commit suicide but that just isn't an option for me... I am going to take a leap and stop taking the injection even though I am being forced to take it by treatment authority but guess what I don't give a shit, this is my body and I should have a say what goes in it especially if its making me feel miserable!
So my question is... how long do I have to be off Invega to feel normal again. I have memories of being a young kid feeling happy when I woke up every morning... I really want that back.
Side note: The meds did take away delusions I use to have even when i was on abilify.... but with the added bonus of making me miserable day and night
