@shadypenguin: in order to be as accurate as possible i would need to know dosages exactly so are all of them 100mg beginning to end?

@dellad: you have to apply for it several times i hear. as long as your labeled with a mental illness that's all the government needs to run your criteria for. mental illness is easy to get labeled with and not so easy to get un-labeled. it's not like a stamp they give you on your hand or a certificate that says your not mentally ill so it's black and white as far as the government is concerned. as some would tell other people it doesn't hurt to apply if it will take 8 months to heal. though i don't know exactly how long it will take for you i hope it is much, much sooner. i hate seeing anyone suffering from the poison.

@Steph78: http://www.invega.com/invega-side-effects-schizoaffective-disorder-treatment the official invega sustenna website (one of them anyways, haha). "Call your doctor right away if you develop symptoms such as a high fever, rigid muscles, shaking, confusion, sweating more than usual, increased heart rate or blood pressure, or muscle pain or weakness"

here's the kicker. it's listed under the call your doctor part which is basically to say "we think this might be a bad thing, we know it can be a bad thing with many meds/pscyh meds but really we're covering our butts legally and insurance wise."

sweating is not only something that happens when your having a bad reaction to a med but also happens at first due to the poison. later on as your almost fully healed it happens as well. though there is no explanation for this it has been posted by those here in the past. i too still experience this but to a much smaller degree. might i also remind you that sweating is a side effect of paxil. "severe nervous system reaction--very stiff (rigid) muscles, high fever, sweating, confusion, fast or uneven heartbeats, tremors, fainting;" from https://www.rxlist.com/paxil-side-effects-drug-center.htm

this other one seems to have more people talking of that specific side effect. https://www.drugs.com/answers/paxil-sweating-is-bad-does-it-ever-stop-or-could-394080.html

i know i delete my posts from time to time (thanks invega) but one of my theories is that invega/xeplion is an upper of sorts. stiff muscles, cells that get closed off and many of the other side effects/withdrawal symptoms support this plus my experience with drugs in my life. i believe we sweat because our cells are returning to a more natural breathing state as well as the internal pressure of our body is trying to go back to normal. i.e. we've been running pretty high as far as bio rhythms go and our bodies need a cool off period. those who have healed in the past do say it stops once you are fully healed.

business aside i wanted to say that was a very beautiful and sincere post to Rosi71 and i hope she takes your advice as encouragement. i agree with what you said as well.

@Offvega: yes. though what you mean by weak idk for sure. i've experienced it in several ways myself. being light headed that leads to balance issues, low blood pressure leading me to feel faint and almost pass out standing up as well as muscle fatigue (hence one reason i think invega is an upper). i think other people experience this as well but i'm not them, i hope they chime in and share their experiences with you.

@hoffsteader: what's going on buddie, you still got one more injection to go before you can stop taking it?
Hey invegauser yes it was 100mg all the way to the end for eleven months. Is two whole years enough to at least regain my memory? I can still study with anhedonia. I only have anhedonia and memory problems, no weight heart etc problems.
 
Curious what percentage is left of Invega after a month of no 156 injection? When I miss the first month's injection.
 
@zack365 thankyou, now is it deemed the first month's withdraw very hard to succumb?
 
Can you all feel depressed? I cannot feel depressed. Do you think these receptors are on both sides of the brain - left and right? Or in the middle of the brain? I feel normal, only less energy and something of my personality, the joung vivid part is not here. Are these chells died? And are no receptors left to take this function? Because I heard, although some chells would be dead, the other chells could overtake the function of these!
 
Rosi I get depressed, I don't feel right on the invega at all.

@invegauser thanks for the reassurance

@Zack365 I used to have a hypersexuality that was like the gods, I had two girlfriends and everything but now I can't even preform once. I hope it gets better, because my life has gone down the tubes since this all happened and I hate it.
 
Exact this part of my brain, where my best emotions where inside, the best of me, that has Xeplion stolen.
 
Idk why but not too many people have mentionned the racing thoughts. I am probably one of the rare people to get them. It s tough even though I am around 98-99% healed.
Good
Normal sex drive
Feeling emotions
Feeling physically good
Sleep isn't too bad

Bad
Not able to socialise as well as I used to
Little memory problems
 
Day 121

Feeling alright today. The social anxiety I had yesterday partially went away. My mood varies from one day to the next, from an hour to the next. These mood swings would last for days maybe even weeks back 1 or 2 month ago. Motivation and sleep has gotten better.
I wish I could speed up the process.
 
Guys do you know why this medicine causes memory problems? If my memory does not return as it was before I?m going to kill myself.
I am not a professional in this field so I can't answer but I can at least tell you that my memory is coming back to what it used to be. It will get better.
 
@all.

Today marks been off Invega injections for 20 months. Nearly everything is back normal. I HIGHLY doubt my emotions will return to normal just like Rosi71. I have moved on - they (emotions) wont come back. It just like if a shark bite off one of my legs - my body is not going to make a new leg for me. I have to make the best of what I have now! But I'm happy to be back at work for the best part of nearly 6 months or so. (Full time). I hope you all heal well and recovery fully.
 
Is there a Skype group counseling chat available by any chance to assist on recovery? I sense a live chat with a former or current attendant in a social live feedback is more assurance than a board post it chat.
 
Thanks zack. Thanks for trying to reassure me, I appreciate it. I drink coffee now every morning to be able to function. If not I kept getting hit by racing thoughts preceded by anxiety and depression.

Of course you guys have hope, most of you only got hit by the initial doses. I have to take a YEAR of jabs before my parents allow me to switch pdocs, I feel so helpless and hopeless. I give myself a healing span of two years, if I don?t heal at least 60% by year two I will have to move on with these impediments. It?s actually bearable with a strong cup of coffee at the start of each day.
 
Psychiatry is not accurate. They misdiagnosed my depression as schizophrenia. I can tell from my experience that a lifetime with Xeplion isn't worth living. Once the withdrawal process starts it's just a matter of time. Patience is what brings us on the other side. I'll probably never go back on my will to see a p-doc. Even antidepressants aren't that good in my opinion.

Day 122

This is the first day ever since the injection I felt somewhat normal. My motivation to exercise isn't completely back but it's fine. I can relate and confirm what you said Lifeafterinvega. Xeplion is an instrument of torture. Here given in France to rapists.

Don't give up, I had 8 months worth of shots and sure I'm still feeling slow and unbearable after 40 days off the shot but your not alone I took 8 months worth of shots and it sucks but you can read about my post and hopefully we will both get better.
