We will recover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a manic episode where I was yelling in the street about God and Heaven and Hell and the cops took me to the pych ward. Really??? REALLY! Should my young life be chopped down for that! FUCK! I'm really struggling every day I wake up nauseated. people being able to work blows my mind. I can't function in the slightest. I feel like my inside, something inside of me that I thought was mine has been stolen. almost like my spirit has been stolen. It's disgusting! But hey WE WILL RECOVRR!!!!!!! RIGHT?
I will encourage you once I recover!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How are you feelin? Bedridden? Are you dysfunctional?
1 shot.
1 damn shot.
and I feel like it's all over. My new life "meaning" is recovery. Maybe 5 years from now we will have a big laugh about the nightmare we went through. Is the info we have on half life's all that accurate? Like why! Why do we not have a definitive guide on this recovery! I mean come on some people say 6 months some say years it's just really sad. And why! It doesn't make sense that once the medication is gone why would be still experiencing side effects! I am hoping by a year I feel better enough to fly threw the rest of the recovery. I mean if I can make it to 50-60% recovered I don't care how long the other 40% takes. We just need some relief! this shot is never-ending and I'm only 60 days out!

Why? The problem (one of at least) with invega is antagonizing dopamine and seratonin receptors. Marijuana does not do that. I can see it not helping but why would it make things worse?
Common knowledge in the industry.
Which industry are you talking about? I think it approves of prescribing literal poison to people, including children. The same industry that created the suffering of everyone in this thread? I think psychitatrists are just mule boys for the drug companies. They either have no idea the dangers of the drugs they prescribe, or they just do it anyway because it allows them to make a living. Why would any reasonable person take their opinion on anything seriously? If they think marijuana is bad then why would they approve of anti-psychotics which I thought are 1000x worse than marijuana?
I think there's no "common knowledge" when it comes to antipsychotic withdrawal. I think there are no studies or science behind it. Certainly nothing specific enough to know if a certain drug will help or not. I think the only people worth listening to are people who have been through the invega shots, and there are people in this thread who said marijuana helped them with recovery. That makes it worth a try,

You haven't even looked at the literature. Marijuana is very, very bad for people who have psychotic illness, and it tends to bring on mental illness more rapidly and with more force if used while the brain is in its formative years.
Right, because invega is clearly not a poison to the brain. All the people suffering must just be my imagination. Drugs that block essential brain neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin can not possibly be damaging to the users.
It's a fact that children have been prescribed amphetamines and anti-psychotics. Do you think these are healthy substances for children? I think they are indeed poison, that's not an opinion.
I've smoked marijuana for over a decade and while it brought on manic symptoms on two occasions, that's the worst it ever did. Considering I've been suffering daily the last 4 months with not a second of a pleasurable experience or feeling after invega..worrying about the risks of manic symptoms would be laughable. I would even welcome it. I don't expect you to understand because you have not been injected with this stuff..but thanks for your concern anyway.

The poison depends upon the dose. Studies show, studies, that antipsychotics may increase brain shrinkage very slightly, but are a lot better than not in the targeted population.
You don't know much at all about how the brain works. It's way more complicated than that...you can state an opinion, but don't betray it as fact. This is your warning.
No, smoking weed does far more than you think it does. Feeding your brain THC is the fastest way to get put on Invega again.
And yes, I have. For multiple months.

I agree a 100 percent with you. You have to be injected with invega to understand. So, I understand what you’re going threw because I have been injected with the poison. I’m 90 days off and still no improvements
Did you feel any kind of gradual improvement before 6 months, or did you kind of just wake up and realise "hey I'm feeling kinda better today"?
It's subjective to say antipsychotics are better for the patients. It could be better for a patient's family if they no longer need to deal with disruptive behavior, same goes for the staff at a mental hospital. But for the patient him/herself? No studies can show that, you will need to ask the patients themselves.
You accuse me of stating mere opinion, but that's exactly what you're doing. You have not stated a single fact or cited a single study.

I don’t know what this feeling is, but it is so amazing. I’ve recovered from Invega around 7.5 months. I decided to try lsd and adderall back to back. I’m sitting in bed recovering from minor amphetamine overuse. Then I suddenly feel the nostalgia of life before Invega. The vent air hit me and I feel it more, the birds outside sound beautiful. I can smell the food my grandma is cooking. I can just feel and sense things much better. I think those two substances kick started my serotonin and dopamine.

I felt recovered a little bit on and off in the past but about 1.5 months ago is when I felt like I had recovered enough to function. Then after that I felt better and better gradually.
I don't state anything definitively without research behind it. Go on google scholar and do your own research, to start. I'm not going to search for them for you. You're not eight years old, right?
How many shots did you have? I heard a guy told me he had 12 shots and recovered in 8 months. He said everything comes back like your pre invega. I couldn’t believe how lucky he was to recover like that. I spoke to him. I just hope I can recover from four shots. My kids needs their mother and I can’t do anything for them. My kids stays with their grandparents until I heal. I’m too sick to care for them. I can’t even care for myself. I’m still in bed now.
Hopefuldopeful what month did you get your emotions and energy back?
did your weight come off easy? Are you still gaining weight now?
