Mental Health Coming off Invega Sustenna (paliperidone)

...Keep the success stories coming people or at least an update when you notice any improvements or any supplements or medication that has helped.

This seems a little crazy, but here goes... I added a supplement to my son’s diet – a 560mg capsule of activated charcoal. Shortly after that, he was visibly improved. He had a sense of humor, joking and laughing. I don’t really understand it, because I don’t believe that Invega is in the intestines. It may be just a coincidence or it may be that there is some other sort of unresolved intestinal pathology that was improved. It’s been about 3 days now. Today, he told me that he felt ok, and he was going out to visit a friend. Anyway, it can’t hurt – might be worth a try.
 
Charcoal helps with certain poisons and being poisoned according to reports, doesn't work against lithium, but it might be the miracle cure we've been looking for.
I've given up looking for supplements and cures, just trying to get my head round having to wait another 14 weeks for another 2 half lifes to clear my system and trying not to smoke cannabis.
Its good that your son is getting out visiting friends, I couldn't face them for the first 4 months and still can't be bothered with socialising much at the moment. The suicidal depression has lifted to be replaced with anger at the dangerous incompetance of the doctors prescribing this poison to me all because I got to high off cannabis. To have to suffer daily for 5 months on this poison is some kind of torture and the only reason I haven't resorted to daily weed smoking is the fear of having to go through this again.
At least you are trying for your son hilary and got him out of the hospital before the doctors did him more harm, my parents just have no clue and let me be injected 3 times with 2 different poisons and didn't even bother to mention my cannabis smoking to the doctors or staff, to say I'm bitter at them is an understatement aswell.
Perhaps its a good sign that I'm starting to get some emotions back, but I'd rather be chilled out and have some interest or hobby to do, but I suppose its a test that you have to go through and at least I'm not shaking and have no anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach anymore, some energy and motivation would be nice, but I've still got an eighth of the poison left in me going on the 49 day half life theory which makes sense according to most reports.
 
Activated charcoal won't do anything for drugs administred intramuscularly.

I stand by my previously stated opinion that this, being effectively a prescribed overdose, is borderline criminal. Doctors really need to be much more cautious when deciding on doses of drugs this powerful, particularly for depot forms.

Yes, it seems some of them might be assuming a "worst case scenario" type of deal in some of these situations. Me, on the other hand... I legitimately needed a higher dose to curb my withdrawal symptoms from going off my medications. Once I got that, though, it was really hard to convince my psychiatrist to switch me to an oral medication. Somehow she felt I was doing better...?

It irks me too... Seems like if someone should need excellent mathematical skills to put someone under anesthesia, a psychiatrist should have to do pretty much the same thing for an intramuscular injection... Or for God's sake get someone else to fucking do it.
 
Hi iridescent black ! Is the half live of the new invega more than 118 000 days no right????
 
If a person gets an invega trinza shot this drug will never be eliminated is that right?? cause of this long half live
 
no thank god not...THANK GOD its

Even if you stop your treatment, you'll not loose your weight without doing some exercise and diet. For my case I'm on a diet (no fat no sugar) by using MyFitnessPal app limiting myself to 1000 cal/day and cycling everyday, I already lost 3 kgs in 3 weeks !
 
Week 21 off the poison, 3 weeks on the testo gel
At least thats 3 half lifes gone, still not close to recovered, but I must still have an eighth in my system going on the 49 day half life theory. It feels that the poison is still affecting me, still not happy in my own company and am spending my days at my parents just lazing about and smoking, going back to my own house each night is depressing, not exercised for a month and the sex drive is showing no sign of returning yet. No interest in doing anything and even having a shower at night is an effort. Just trying to get through each day with as little stress as possible at the moment.
On a plus note its not taking me as long to come to on waking up and the depression isn't as bad and I'm managing to sleep for at least 8 hours each night and not been waking up every couple of hours aswell. Had a couple of nightmares last week which I'm taking as a good sign. Starting to feel a bit bored and bad tempered during the day aswell, perhaps I need a joint or its the testerone starting to work its magic.
On the weight front, I came out of hospital under weight and couldn't even swallow food properly at one stage because they'd drugged me up that much, only eating 2 meals a day at the moment and am not snacking, have noticed recently that I'm getting food cravings and am enjoying my food slightly more.
At this stage I've resigned myself to the fact that its going to be another 14 weeks till I'm close to recovered and I plan on getting more active and cutting down the smoking. Hopefully as the weeks go by the sex drive recovers and I'm able to chill out at my own house watching box sets during the day. Just got to not relapse into all day weed smoking when I recover and I really don't want to start smoking again or am trying to give it up until august, that will be a year off and I will be limiting myself to a couple of joints a night. At the moment I'm on three beers a night which is helping me chill out and feel almost normal. It at least gives me something to look forward to each day besides cigarettes. Not the healthiest lifestyle I know, but its just about getting through the next 14 weeks at the moment.
You've got to try and take the positives out of most things in life, but its hard when you lose nearly a year of your life to this poison, hopefully you come out of it a stronger person and are able to appreciate life more, but its hard not to be bitter towards the idiots who prescribe it and force it on you, especially when you could have been just given the tablet form, its a bit of a scandal to say the least, but where there's money to be made there will be corruption, its the world we live in, anyhow

HELLO BAD ROBOT
I´M IN THE 19 mONTH LAST INJECTION OF RISPERDAL CONSTA. I'm skeptical that I can recover from it. I am searching for a way to recover, which if I find, I will tell you guys about

Half-Life Elimination

3-month IM: Deltoid injection range: 84 to 95 days; gluteal injection range: 118 to 139 days
I wonder if that suggests that Invega Sustenna has a longer half life when injected into the glutes...

From what I've read, the Invega is eliminated more quickly when administered in the deltoid, because it's in the muscle, and the muscle has a better blood supply.
 
Well that's good information to have. I always felt there was something iffy about getting an injection in the buttox. Maybe I'm just self conscious about the **** on my ass.
 
Sorry to report that the improvements that I thought I was seeing are no longer there. I guess this detox from invega comes in waves, a couple of ok days, followed by back to not doing very well at all. I really felt optimistic about seeing some progress. But now it's gone. It's so disappointing. I suspect it may have something to do with going out and drinking and/or smoking, but it's hard to know for sure.

I have bad thoughts of taking revenge against the so-called doctors who are so busy in their little white coats destroying peoples lives. It's not a productive way of thinking, but it's hard not to think about giving the doctor a taste of his own medicine.

I tried to tell everyone. It does come in waves. But that's alright. You'll begin to pick up on when it lifts and dips.

In September of 2015 the medications reached a low, low dip - maybe because it just did, maybe because I fell in love - and I felt like the powers that I had felt during the peak of my spiritual awakening were coming back to me in waves. What was weird was I had to focus on my energy very hard in order for it to manifest.

In December of 2015 the medication reached another low, low dip. I felt like I was able to use my energy to create mental shields and repair the damage I had faced in the last few years.

January of 2016, I literally regained the sense of energy I had felt during the peak of my spiritual awakening, just before the Dark Night of the Soul phase of the spiritual awakening (that I had had in November of 2011) - an energy that I feel could literally change my life and every life around me. It's too early to sense or know if these feelings of what that energy actually is or what it could be are real, but I have little doubt in my mind it's useful for something.

You should be recovered now Apollo, are you on any other medication ?
 
I havent felt any improvement at all yet. I feel like i am still on this medication. :(((((.... i have stopped it since april i got it twice in my buttom. I hate these doctors that give these medications to people. It ruins lifes.
 
^ No improvement whatsoever? Maybe you're not noticing it?

Recalling dreams better? Sleeping more normal hours? Finding that thoughts are more clear, more positive, or just [less negative]? Imagining things more easily or more clearly than when you were first injected with Zeplion/Invega Sustenna? How about motivation? Finding it easier to cook or clean or do other household chores/errands? Socializing more? Chatting it up with strangers? Better focus or concentration? Improved memory? Better sense of time?

If you don't have any of that, then you've still got a ways to go, I'm afraid...
