Hey can you do my half life’s for me.
I had 234,156,156,116. Please thank you

Hmmm, this one will be tricky for me. Considering the 234mg dose has a half-life of 49 days, the lowest one, 39mg, is 25 days (I think so, I might be wrong), then what is the half-life for 156mg and 116mg? Nowhere in the Internet I can find informations on this matter. But even if I'll know those, what do I do, I add all these half-lifes altogether and make it one, big half-life of all of those? And I need to know exact intervals between every shot, or dates of every single one. I have a little brain fog right now, but even without Abilify coursing through my body I wouldn't be able to solve this puzzle, I suck at maths so much. Guys, can you help me with this one? You're more familiar with Invega, maybe you'll know how this stuff works. I'll try to work on this tomorrow, it's 11 P.M. here in central Europe already, I have to go to sleep now.


Edit: It's half past 1 A.M, I can't sleep, probably because of that coffee I drank yesterday. I'm using mianserin for sleeping, so I decided to up my dose by 30mg and all of a sudden I thought to myself "what if there's an interaction between it and Abilify, I have never thought of it", so I type in "aripiprazole mianserin interaction" in Google and I read "Aripiprazole may increase the anticholinergic activities of Mianserin".

LOL'd quite hard. Aripiprazole gives me akathisia, but it increases the anticholinergic action of mianserin, therefore it reduces akathisia xD

Alright, so I slept only for about 3 hours, so I guess coffee just isn't for me or maybe there's something going on with the amount of the drug decreasing, I had to take 120mg of mianserin while I usually take 30 or 60 to put myself to sleep. By the way, the question might be kind of dumb, but does having a fast metabolism, when it comes to digestion, correlate with a fast metabolism of drugs? Cause I'm an ectomorph, can't easily put on weight, even after drugs I have gained only like 6 kg (13.22 pounds). And what can the fact that one day I feel better, enjoy listening to music and going for a walk, feel a little more confident and even less stupid and another I'm anxious af, don't enjoy anything, mean? I'm sooo unstable, even throughout the day, does this mean that my full recovery is near? And one more thing, there used to be this guy called "Yeshuah" on the forum that claimed to have found a solution to recover faster and that he created a video on YouTube about it and has his own Facebook group, any information on that?

check this graph. it shows how long it takes to get out of your system. it's a gradual but consistent decrease. i'm not sure how accurate it is so take it with a grain of salt, but it does show that a higher Mg takes longer and less Mg is shorter so it's got something right.

Thank you for coming back here to encourage us to continue fighting. A lot of posters who came on this forum didn’t come back to help us because they recovered and wanted to leave this nightmare in the past. I want to ask you something since you are healed do you have PTSD from the invega experience. I’m afraid that I will have PTSD because of this trauma from invega. I mean I’m so scared right now that when I recover I will have trauma. I’m hoping I don’t. Invega scares me so much because I never experience dark depression, extreme anxiety, and fears in my life until I met invega. Will I heal will I just forget about invega and just move on? Or will I have PTSD from the traumatic experience?

No PTSD for me. So no I don't think you will have PTSD from all of this Invega stuff. You will recover naturally and you will be able to tell that you feel normal.

I read your post in the forums and you said you took 8 months to recover not 6 months. I’m happy you recovered everything and healed but I promise you that In the forums you healed at 8 months not 6 months. To the room guys it take 8-12 months to heal from this drug. If you took a lot of shots be prepared that it can take longer. Plus some people can only have 1 to 2 shots and still take longer than 12 months to heal but I think they are on other medicine or their body metabolism is so slow to break down the medicine. We will heal and we have to keep hope alive so we can continue surviving. This is the worst thing that ever happen to me. I’m so sick everyday. I keep posting to everyone here so you know I care for you all going threw this nightmare.

No I healed in 6 months. I remember it quite vividly. It was also the same amount of time it took me to lose the extra weight I put on while on Invega.

How much weight did you gain? Did you lose that weight within the same 6 months that it took you to recover?
 
Hello everyone, today I can surely say I’ve recovered 110% from Invega. Everything is back and I have 0 depression. I had minor depression up until about 2 weeks ago and I took one half pill of Remeron/mirtazapine and it corrected everything. Anxiety, depression, depersonalization, and more. Mirtazapine increases serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain which are both responsible for mood. I feel complete, smart, and I have to motivation to do anything again without psych features. I can also surely say I am in no worry of relapsing, I’ve experience extreme stress, I’ve smoked many times, and done psychedelics without relapsing. So my diagnosis was drug induced psychosis, not schizophrenia or bipolar. Which is great, although I’m scheduled to go back to my doctor so I can get another prescription of mirtazapine in case I need it again. I had withdrawal from Xanax a few weeks ago after binging with alcohol and the only symptoms I had were these horrible demonic ass dreams that scared the living shit out of me but now I’m 100% fine.
 
Just bought some multi vitamins today.... Going to get a gym membership after work tmrw.. they also have a steam room at the gym. I’m determined to find hope again.
 
I’ve been off of Invega for 3 months now and I’ve had 5 windows. Today I put a dip in and was on social media and I got a huge dopamine rush. It was awesome dude. First time I’ve felt dopamine in a while
 
What does having a window mean? I'm not familiar with this term, but I suppose it means having a day without symptoms, right?

Have you had cycles of having less symptoms, then feeling worse over and over again during your fifth month? I'm 4.5 months off and about two weeks ago I started to feel a little bit better, so I thought it was going to be only better since then. But the hard symptoms have come back now and I kind of lost my hope, feel like I'm going to have those cycles all the time.
 
I can guess weight is an important factor in recovering, right? I only weigh 128 pounds/58kg, the drug should clear out faster when heavier. I have a fast metabolism though, being an ectomorph, so I don't really know.

Is haldol the same as invega shot.?
Click to expand...

i had a haldol injection and i couldn't get high or drunk and had sleep issues while taking it just like invega. i'd assume it'd have the same effects (like depression and anhedonia) as invega but i personally couldn't tell you since i don't suffer from that sort of stuff from medications. i have noticed though that i was more dull on both medications, like i don't laugh like i used to if i even laugh at all, and i don't really feel alive. just sort of there. and idk if it's the medication or me but my energy levels and motivation are non existent. never really was a motivated person to begin with but i was always energetic when having fun.

like you got a buzz or just relatively felt good? maybe give it some time, do it again to test if it was just a window, and see if you can enjoy that stuff again. would be nice to hear if you can enjoy substances again after just 3 months. that's an early time. the most common early time is 5 months. anything less is unusual.

actually invega stores in fat so the less you weigh, the less the invega would be stored in your system.
