Mental Health Coming Off Invega Sustenna (Paliperidone) v.2

[Decisive]

@AbleArcher83: As someone said in a previous page of this thread, you will not have rough withdrawal symptoms maybe just some insomnia in the beggining but it will go away, because since it's an injection with a big half life it will taper itself, you don't need to continue to take any meds.

@NotAPsycho: Yes I had anhedonia and lack of motivation in the past, if I said that I had insomnia it's because he asked specifically what withdrawal symptoms I had, not the symptoms due to the poison.

This drug is fucking sick.. I am three months in after my last injections and there is still no improvements. Everyday is exactly the same, I sleep in till three pm and then watch TV till I go to bed it's so sad. Who else was forced to quit their job or drop out of school because of this drug? I don't feel like a human being anymore, instead I feel like i am something that is sub human.. I don't even feel basic human emotions, I can't even feel tiredness or hunger which is so weird. Has anyone else noticed that their sleep or eating habits are not the same? Its like it almost seems alien.. basic human emotions are gone on this poison.

I wish all the people from the first thread would check back in to reveal their progress, or if they have healed completely. I hope they are not responding because they in fact have been cured and are to embarrassed to resurface on this Web site. I just find it so odd what this poison has done to me.

I'm usually on olanzapine whenever I'm in the upper affective spectrum and never eperienced any problems coming off it, not even after a year of daily use. Well, I do get stimulated for a few days, but nothing I couldn't handle.

 

[crOOk]

paliperidone really slows the metabolism to the point where you might not loose any weight despite the efforts but i will report back when i count the weight loss on the scales.

I hear you. I gained 77lbs in 10 months the first time I was on olanzapine and had multiple cardiovascular incidents. Still a lifesaver.

 

[AbleArcher83]

I'm finally coming off this toxin. Wish me luck everyone. I just hope that I don't get any bad withdrawal symptoms. I've had it for five months, 6 shots in total. Not a lot and I should be fine.

Checking in, 40 weeks off the poison, 2 weeks off half life 6
Keep on fighting the poison, it gets easier every month that passes, almost recovered, nearly every side effect has gone.
I'll report back at half life 6, just ignore the clowns that prescribe this poison when they say it's out your system in a month, your going to be fucked up for the best part of 10 months, pretty scandalous, but you will recover.

Hey man, may I know how much of this toxin you were injected with? I was injected with 6 shots.

 

[iridescentblack]

other notable side effects that haven't been mentioned so far on this site include, pain in both heels of my foot as i walk. i also get like muscle spasms which feels like electric shocks in my legs when I'm trying to get to sleep. oh and my ears block up from time to time mostly this happened at week one.

I had a persistent ear problem - inflammation in one of my ears - that lasted for the entire duration that I was on Invega Sustenna. Only just a few months ago did it go away. It was a real pain in the ass because I have a noisy neighbor and I wasn't able to shove an earplug into that inflamed ear.

A couple more side effects of mine include slowed regeneration or healing, and deterioration of cartilage.

Yeah Olanzapine and Clozapine are generally recognized as being the worst of the Atypicals for causing weight gain. Olanzapine has definetely been literally a lifesaver for me on more then one occasion as well as the Zydis version stops Mixed States in about 20 minutes and when i feel like that every minute counts. I don't think i was on Olanzapine long enough to put on any weight but as i never put on any weight on Quetiapine, Risperidone or Methotrimeprazine (a old Typical anti-psychotic i often took for sleep and nausea) i don't know if it would be a problem.

I imagine as Paliperidone is the only active metabolite of Risperidone that they would have similar if not identical weight gain profiles as well. Risperidone is not nearly as bad as many of the other Atypicals such as Olanzapine, Quetiapine or Clozapine in terms of weigh gain and i know people who take Risperidone because other atypicals caused a unhealthy amount of weight gain.

Hi all. I am new to this so be kind. Dont know if it is legal to share a link about the pharma industrys evil agenda, thats how i see it. Personally i have been off the so called injection 100mg of xeplion for almost 2 month now. I have no words as to describe what it is like. to keep it ssimple as it is. hell from within. "They" forced the injection 6 month once each month. i got so ill from xeplion. to be more accurate i have been struggling with the psych ward so meny years now. I AM boycutting everything called pharmameds... moneymakingsystem.

Sry for my bad english and gramma after those injections my body changed really fast. My muscles are like pudding compared to before i was fresh and strong. 40 procent weaker... The first thing i am going to do is work out so to fully recover it will take me about 2 - 3 years to fully recover. From this so called medicin made in hell.

Again sorry for my spelling and grammar .

Maybe the dose is too high. Talk to your psychiatrist about that. You should also consider your schizophrenia to play a role in those symptoms. From Wikipedia: "Negative symptoms are deficits of normal emotional responses or of other thought processes, and are less responsive to medication. They commonly include flat expressions or little emotion, poverty of speech, inability to experience pleasure, lack of desire to form relationships, and lack of motivation." I have several friends who suffer from schizophrenia and they are all extremely grateful to have access to neuoleptic drugs. They saved my life, they saved my best friend's life and they still keep him sane.

Hi Xeplion, welcome to the forums. I feel you bro, I was injected with this toxin for five months. I am coming off next month. I was misdiagnosed with psychosis and sectioned under the mental health act. Did you experience withdrawal symptoms coming off? I hope that I recover from this poison soon. All the best to you in your recovery!

 

[crOOk]

Misdiagnosed with psychosis? Interesting.

 

[AbleArcher83]

Yeah, I was misdiagnosed. Neuroleptics work for those who have a mental illness but they harm those who are perfectly normal. I fought my diagnosis and had it overturned in court this month, and I will come off this toxin next month. Hopefully, I don't get any withdrawal symptoms.

Yeah no shit, this drug gives you the symptoms of schizophrenia... So consider that.

I am not sure if you are familiar with the symptoms and course of schizophrenia, but I imagine perceiving this drug to cause symptoms of schizophrenia would happen as follows: Patient goes full-on batshit, gets treated with neuroleptics. Positive symptoms slowly dissipate and make way for negative symptoms which are then attributed to the drug. Neuroleptics don't really treat negative symptoms and if a person only had a single episode or two with years in between, the dose should be lowered quickly once he emerges from the acute pychotic state. If that doesn't happen, neuroleptics will have anyone feel like complete and utter shit, but blaming the drug for the symptoms experienced with such certainty when those symptoms are the exact same the illness would cause without the drug is just foolish, no offense. It's absolutely irrational. It's like blaming the stars for the sun not to shine.

Yeah, I was misdiagnosed. Neuroleptics work for those who have a mental illness but they harm those who are perfectly normal. I fought my diagnosis and had it overturned in court this month, and I will come off this toxin next month. Hopefully, I don't get any withdrawal symptoms.

Wow. Never seen that happen. Would love to hear the whole story!
