Look guys. I have now read a lot of reviews and done a lot of research. IS THIS DRUG FOREVER? some people say they have gotten better some say they have not what is the truth does TIME heal this poison or is it false hope? Please I took this drug in hospital not knowing how serious it is. IS THIS A TEMPORARY STATE OR DO WE JUST GRT USED TO IT?
THANKS
 
Time heals, from all I know.

I highly doubt your body is gone beyond repair. Especially with only one shot.

Please be patient. But of course vent if need be.
 
Why, why are people saying they don't recover? How many people has this happened to? I'm wondering if people that say they have not recovered are just lying or exaggerating how long they have been off the poison. Why wouldn't the body go back to normal after the poison leaves? It just doesn't make sense why this would be Permanent. When I hear people that's been a year and they have no improvements I wonder if they are lying? A year? It breaks my heart. How is this legal if it is destroying lives? WILL PEOPLE ON SUSTENNA THAT HAVE STOPPED EVENTUALLY RECOVER? THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW. WHO FULLY RECOVERED ON HERE.
 
Dude, many people recovered.

Please relax - you might be triggering other people. Let's spread positivity, if we can.

Obviously people who recovered most likely don't ost here anymore.. why would they?

They're enjoying their lives.
 
I am 5 months off today. No improvements so far, but that is to be expected. I expect a partial recovery or a full recovery within the month.

Invega Sustenna in Latin means infertile there free spirit. Vraylar mean true God. Look up Vega means fertile field infertile. Sus meaning their. Tenna meaning free spirit. Invegas sustennas

Hi everyone.

I have been on invega sustenna once in the past and recovered completely after about 15 months. I only took 3 shots and subsequently refused to take it as I hated the way it made me feel. I misinterpreted the way it made me feel for being the depressive phase of bipolar disorder and lived a very inhibited life for about a year, doing small amounts of voluntary work and playing large amounts of video games. After having another manic episode I was put on invega under a compulsory treatment order and have continued to take it for 1 year under pressure from family.

I am stopping taking it now, my last injection was on 10 Feb. What I am concerned about is the timeframe it will take to recover again and whether taking it for a year as opposed to 2-3 months will result in any kind of permanent damage. Currently I am experiencing a complete loss of mental ability, I have no thoughts. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am also experiencing extreme fatigue, loss of motivation to complete daily tasks such as laundry, reduced coordination (I play table tennis and darts) inability to socialize and I feel like I have lost all my intelligence (I have tested around 140 IQ in the past and am now struggling to complete 2 university papers )

Can anyone relate with experiences and possibly shed light on my situation? I am also working out 4 times a week, beginning a paleo diet regimen and am looking at starting yoga and meditation practices.

What side effects did you have the first time around? What you’re describing now sounds pretty standard for Invega. But i’m interested in hearing about your first recovery. You had a complete recovery of all side effects? I’d say that’s proof it can happen again.

I think I know what you mean when you say you have no thoughts. I wouldn't say I have no thoughts, but thoughts don't flow through my head the way they used to. I have a lack of motivation as well. I think I've probably lost some of my intelligence as well though I'm not sure how much because I haven't had to do many things that are intellectually rigorous.

does anyone know anything about st johns wort and if it actually speeds up the drug elimination process?

I take St. John's Wort. It should speed up the drug elimination process.

Here's an excerpt from the following link:
How the interaction occurs:
Apalutamide, barbiturates, carbamazepine, enzalutamide, fosphenytoin, lumacaftor, mitotane, natisedine, phenytoin, primidone, rifampin, rifapentine and St. John's Wort may speed up how quickly your liver processes your antipsychotic medication.

I remember just feeling completely drained of all life and feeling like everything was too difficult; socialising was beyond my capabilities, working a job or studying was impossible. I just felt completely inhibited, as if I had become some kind of a recluse and that there was no hope for recovery. Similarly to this time I had a complete lack of thoughts, as if my brain had just stopped functioning.

I assumed it was just depression I was dealing with. Initially I thought it could have been invega but as the time stretched on I thought there's no way that medication could affect me for this length of time.

How long has everyone been off invega sustenna for and are they noticing any improvements? No matter how small?
 
I was able to cry for 2 minutes today..I cryed like a man in pain..it was good to feel a little relief..for me it’s a sign that I still have emotions..my last shot was on 7 January and I want to ask you if I can say that I’m 2 months off or should i calculate from 7 February (from 1 month after the last shot)
 
That's heartening. It's good to know that you can still feel something, even if it is sadness. Anything is better than having all your emotions blunted and not being able to feel anything at all.
