Apologies for what i said in my earlier (deleted) post, it was gruesome to say the least.

Cant loose fat.
Severe acne
Zero enegry/extreme fatigue
Low testosterone
Anxiety
Erectile dysfunction
Headaches
Feeling of doom and despair
Extreme Anhedonia
Zombie mode feeling
Chronic akathesia thats driving me crazy
Extreme muscle weakness
Inability to gain muscle
Severe joint pain
As mentioned by tina invega victims sucfer from Pain all over the body( i suspect its because the nerves are to weak to carry the bones and organs)
Extreme dizziness
Dry mouth
Man boobs
Heavy pain in nipples
Fast heartbeats
Chest pain

What can i say; i am a prisoner inside my own body if i dont recover within 6 months. I will stick a bullet in my mouth.
Weather hell exists or not. I fear all hope is lost.

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation.. I know many of those symptoms well and I haven't had a shot in 7 months.. how many shots were you given and how long ago?
 
hey guys

my next appointment with the pdoc is in November... and I really dont know how to defend myself.
Before I used to be able to have a dialogue with him but right now I guess I will just say I dont care anymore, and all because of this shi**y drug.
I want to get out of this pills because I dont want to pass new years eve and christmas medicated. I think im good already.

I dont really grasp for the emotions back...its not my main concern. my point is to feel like a human again, like to communicate wioth other humans normally and give my opinion. I think that has been influenced by the medication

See ya
 
Invapo did u really loose all the fat that u gained on invega? No sugar coating?
Did u exercise and diet to loose it? And did the akathesia fade away after 15 months?
 
Everyone still suffering from anhedonia caused by invega or the negative symptoms of schizophrenia should seriously consider trying a product called profrontal. It combines N-acetyl cysteine with Sarcosine and has been shown the have huge benefits in reducing depression, anhedonia caused by antipsychotics and also the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. The effect sizes are something like a 40-60% reduction in negative and depressive symptom with this product. Sarcosine alone at 2 grams a day produces a 30-40% reduction in negative and depressive symptoms in schizophrenics currently treated with antipsychotics according to studies and meta analysis. N-acetyl cysteine also has a large effect size and has been shown to considerably improve the negative symptoms of schizophrenia in as little as 8 weeks. Combined these two nutraceuticals can make you feel reborn and give you another shot at life. I strongly suggest anyone suffering from anhedonia and apathy to try Profrontal.

Just read these testimonials:

This is some of the advice that Iris pharmaceuticals (makers of profrontal) give to consumers:


  • Expectations: We encourage realistic expectations as it may take time to assess the benefit of .
    While a rapid effect is possible, allow at least 6 to 12 weeks to evaluate changes. Please note that clinical research utilizing Sarcosine and NAC range from 6 to 24 weeks.
  • Side Effects: No significant side effects were noted with either Sarcosine or NAC in published clinical studies. Mild stomach upset can potentially occur and will typically subside within a few days of discontinuation.
  • Personality Reemergence: Evaluation requires an awareness of the discomfort and anxiety that can occur as aspects of self reemerge. Irritability and frustration may accompany these changes. We strongly recommend that only be used in collaboration with a qualified physician.

I've personally been taking it only two weeks and I feel better than I have all year.

Well... more than 1 1/2 years off Invega Sustenna: two of the biggest improvements I've noticed are I'm smoking less and I'm sleeping less. The second one may sound like a bad thing, but when you consider I was sleeping 12-16 hours while I was on Invega Sustenna, I guess you could say that's pretty good.
Imagination has improved. Sex drive has improved though no desire to find a sexual partner. I keep going through windows and waves at seemingly random intervals. Thus has always been the case, though, on this drug. I keep telling people just another year and I should be completely recovered.

Holiday times are gonna be... rough. I would like to visit my family for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it all depends on the poison at this point. Not traveling 180 miles just to have a panic attack somewhere on the highway.
 
Hello folks, just posting an update quick with my new plans of coming off this Invega. I am now 12.5 weeks off the last shot (I received only the two starter doses), and am currently prescribed Geodon; however, Geodon has been giving me nightmares, bad mental visuals, and darn near paranoia. Basically I feel that Geodon could send me into a horrible new episode, or just continue making me somewhat miserable.

Anyway, I am trying to come up with a plan to keep the doctor happy (I was placed on an involuntary outpatient commitment, so I have no choice but to attend regular doctor appointments), but I also want to keep from more bad side effects and keep myself happy and able to [hopefully] start to shed this Invega weight sometime next year. I have noticed a great deal of stomach pain when I eat pastas and dairy, so my idea is to try a dairy-and-gluten-free diet combined with some supplements. Of course a multivitamin would not hurt, and I was actually told to take both a multivitamin and an iron supplement when I left from my last hospital visit. I have been taking an iron supplement nearly every day, and I have to dig out my old multivitamins. Also, I am placing an order of a B-100 complex and Lithium Orotate. My buddy swears by a B-100 complex (I'm ordering the time release kind), and I'm going to give Lithium Orotate a try because I found it for very cheap. Lithium Orotate is different from the type that is prescribed by doctors, but is supposed to be very effective and at a low dose. I found 200 tablets of 120 mg's each, so I am going to start by halving the tablets and taking a 60 mg morning dose to see how I do.

As for the remainder of this year, I hope to consume a diet consisting mainly of meat, poultry, eggs and potatoes and see how I am by the start of next year. I am not going to do a full-on Ketosis diet, but I would like to consume mostly protein and fat, plus potatoes because it will be delicious to cook some types of chips or fries with a little salt, pepper and oil. It is my hope that the diet and supplement changes will allow me to keep stability without the use of AAP's as my doctor keeps prescribing. I hope to return with positive updates. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I want to be more in control of my body (and mind, blah blah) and not be forced to take weight-gaining medications. Any input is welcome, Have a great day everyone.
 
Im scared to death that the fat i gained on the poison is permanent. I want the masculine chisled body i used to have prior psychitric torment. Akasthia and anhedonia are strong as ever. When the nazis did atrocious things to the jews they didnt say:
"This is for your own good"
"You'll thank us later"
"You need this 'treatment'"
But in psychitry that is the case.
 
fuck this poison i have no energy on my step machine i last 2 minutes and thats it...libido still low unless i touch it...coming up to 5 months now....is there soimething to help with libido
 
What month off the invega does someone start loosing fat? i gained over 20kg with it. It feels so unattractive and obviously it is.
 
At 13 months I'm finally moving again looks like i have reached the end of the tunnel and now on my way to full recovery. I worked two 4 hour shifts this week. Today was 1 of them in a couple hours I'm going to play softball. I seem to have alot of energy and motivation again. When I made it to the end of my 4 hour shift I felt happy that I did it. That is something I haven't felt in a long time. I took another shift for next week so I will be working 12 hours a week. That something I thought I was never going to be able to do again but I'm doing it. Last week my sense of humor came back and then I started noticing that I would get up and walk around and things interested me. All I would do before that was sit in a chair and look at facebook or search the net for answers I had no energy to do anything. Now it has come back! Well I hope it sticks I'm sure I still will have some waves left but this window feels awesome.The best I've felt in over a year. Hang in there everyone time will heal you I know from experience.This drug destroyed me for over a year I kept fighting, praying and hoping that I would recover, at times I thought I never would. Now I know I will because I've always been a fighter.This was the hardest fight I have ever been in. So keep fighting it can be beat!
