Holy smokes, this Saint John's Wort really does work!

I garnered a bottle at the local supermarket, to try before investing in a superior quality supplement & WOW.

It literally felt like I was being unshackled.

I hadn't quite realized just how potent a tranquilizer this Invega stuff is, until two caps (double the recommendation) had freed me.

Thank you for the intel, it is marvelous to have a reduced effect.
Now I'm hoping my stimulant supplements may work, with the reduction.

All is well, and going to be better than expected! It's the Law of Life! <3
 
Now that I have been off forced antipsychotics for many months, I am left with such anger and hatred towards the people that did this or were complacent. How does anyone deal with this?? There was no relevant event leading up to this, all that happened was I was given a diagnosis therefore must be complacent in what they tell me to do or else. The psychiatrist even lied multiple times to enforce it and he is still working, still torturing people. Psychiatrist's should not have this kind of power, which is blatantly abused with no accountability.

My psychiatrist lied also forced me to take the shot longer and lied and said my symptoms were worse. My lawyer was livid. The first time I just went with it because of corona but the second time she tried forcing me on the shot longer I took her lieing ass to court and won.
 
If I ever get up and moving again I will never take it for granted gonna buy a fit bit and work out every day.
 
I am hoping I can reach some of you who are needing to hear it like I needed to hear it when I was psychotic - this medication sucks but some of you still have schizophrenia.

There are bad side effects from this drug but not all that you may be feeling is due to invega.

Negative symptoms cause inability to enjoy life and express emotions, difficulty thinking is a cognitive symptom of schizophrenia as well.

This medication is not a perfect fit for all but it has kept me from thinking music and television is secretly God talking to me (and keeping me from believing other delusions as well).

I suggest those of you on it who can't change to look into antidepressants to counter the mood issues, Viibryd has helped me out some but I'm in no way normal, just functional.

Some day there may be better drugs than this to treat our symptoms.
 
I'm not sure what it is that's screwing me all up. It's like I don't feel like I exist. I'm pretty sure your thoughts, emotions, and interests are what make you an individual. Without them you feel as though you're noone. It's so debilitating.

Does anyone feel uglier since invega? Like it sucked all of my natural prettniess out of my face. I look like dull and huge dark circles like I did heavy heroin injected in my veins for ten years. I look like a druggie

Have you explained to your doctor about these side effects?
