i was going to say, is it because you gained weight? but i didn't want to be rude lol. but that's not a metabolism thing i don't think. but your metabolism should shine in losing the weight. i've seen a few people (there's so little people talking about it) so far say lost all the weight gained. you lose all the unatural weight. but the digestive thing i heard is because there's dopamine in your gut or stomach or something like that and the medication is a dopamine antagonist.

It’s okay to be rude lol I know it’s invega. Yes I’ve gained 20 lbs from this shit and I hate it but all I want is my new soul to come back.

NO not is not ineffective after 1 month. It never leaves your body. It the damage it does seems to nuke your brain

well it depends if it is ineffective or not if a lower dose still works (not saying you need it). say you get 154mg shot, after a month you'll theoretically have somewhere around 77mg in your system. some people function better on a 78mg shot. after another month there's 48.5 mg in your system and some people function better at 39mg. but the side effects take longer because as long as there's invega in your system, your dopamine receptors will still be antogonized.
 
Look the thing about it... Is that the invega injections do something DRASTIC to the brain. To cure "delusions " they zap and I mean ZAP the dopamine . Without dopamine their isn't really anything that matters. when in vega leaves your body how do the receptors magically unbind? It doesn't make sense.

yeah I gained 50 from APs. probably will take me longer to lose weight but you only gained 20 pounds. that shouldn't take too long once it's out of your system. but your soul should come back. i think you know that. it's better to wait than want though in this case.

yeah i know. i think invega is just more potent because i've been on other APs and they weren't this bad. it's a gradual release though. like a couple or a few mg leaves your system a day. it doesn't really just magically unbind. the last trickle might have an effect but a day later you'll released from it.

I don't think you have a correct understanding of how Invega Sustenna works. I don't think it zaps dopamine, it blocks the dopamine and serotonin receptors. Eventually, they should become unblocked.
 
Invega is always there... always haunting me.... I have talked to so many people that never really recovered. It's just hard.... hard to accept that "this" is now our life. It just doenst make sense.
 
What a waste of life the inventors of the drug know exactly what they are doing and will be thrown in the lake of fire. Psyxhstirsts too.
 
Hello all. New here. I was "diagnosed" with schizoaffective disorder a year and a half ago. I endured a psychotic episode two years ago and was also manic. Now before all this happened to me i was practising semen retention. I strongly believe this made me go into a psychosis due to the fact that my dopamine was sky high and also my testosterone. I crashed my car into two buildings and went to jail. Before that i was hospitalized three times for brief psychotic episodes. All this happened within a month and a half.

At first the doctors had me on seroquel and olanzapine. Was on those for about six months. Then when i got my current psychiatrist he added risperdol to the mix. Then he added the dreadful invega sustenna. I've been weened off the seroquel and all the oral pills and am left with the injection.

I have all the side effects of the injection. No motivation, no joy, nothing. Just feel like an absolute zombie. Also i can't get an erection and have no sex drive. I was placed on a review board since my lawyer fought to get my charges dropped. I just found out that the review board cannot force someone to take medication even though my doctor believes they can so I'm gonna stop. I'm also going to try and get a new doctor since mine is an absolute idiot.

What i want to know is do these side effects go away over time? I can't work and can't go back to school because of this shit. I'm on disability benefits.

I strongly believe it was the semen retention that put me in a psychosis. My family has no history of schizo or anything. I was a pretty normal guy before i started semen retention. No history of mental illness. I was smoking weed at the time of my psychosis so maybe that had something to do with it. Ive been almost 2 years clean off weed.
 
I've also been contemplating suicide. Its the only thing that i fantasize about. The thought of going somewhere else is what i think about everyday. I go to bed and thats all i think about. The only thing i look forward to in a day is going to sleep so i can dream and be in another world. I've read a few success stories in v2 of this thread. I've read almost all the posts. My doctor wanted to put me on abilify to counter the effects of invega sustenna. How the fuck is that going to work? Luckily my insurance wouldn't cover two special authorisations since invega is a special auth. I don't know what else to do. I can't go on living like this. Only thing keeping me alive is my mom. I'm 29 and I've been living with her for a year and a half.
 
Ya I was also doing semen retention and it led me to yelling at the world about how evil it is. I used to preach on street corners. Yell about the evils of materilaism. If I wasnt celibate I wouldn't be in this mess as well. Invega ruins your life. If you are celibate in this world you will SEE how evil it really is.
 
I was doing semen retention for a year and it lead to telling corporations off. I used to yell outside of ski resorts about the EVILS of modern world.
 
Dopamine and testosterone and serotonin was sky high it lead me to be INSANELY ANGRY at the way the world is with corporations and materilism everywhere. I was walking with GOD and the state shut me down for preaching the true words OF GOD. I condemned corporations and the materilsiazations of society.
 
Yeah i was also very angry at times. I also was going through a spiritual awakening too. I believed that i was jesus and i was here to save the world
