I just laid in my bed for like 5 minutes saying "oh my God oh my God i can't believe i feel this way still oh my God" i couldn't stop saying it. It's total misery. I hope I'm in the same boat as you guys and I'm not worse off. I'm 6 months off. I'm not talking to myself in the psychosis way but more like... traumatized by this blank empty anxious feeling. I can't believe this is possible to feel this way.

Just watch some tv man when your feeling like that. Tv has been my saviour threw this.

Here I am.
1 year off and life is meaningful again.
For all of you that are suffering or will suffer (I rlly hope you won’t) because of this kind of medicine I came back with this reply to make it easier for you. ( I also swore that I’ll help others if I’ll recover).
This is not permanent.
Your brain is just intoxicated and poisoned at the moment while this substance is still in you.
After my psychotic epsiode i switched from pills to shots( had 3) and during that time i had very often moments when I was walking on the street and suddenly all of my leg muscles were contracting like hell and i was acting like a visible real disabled person. So now, you tell me..who could encourage me during that time that recovery is possible or to not kill myself from minute to minute?
Zombie mode, anhedonia,depression, 0 motivation-concentration, nausea,feeling the same numbness indoor-outdoor..you name it.
So for like 10 minutes I’m thinking what would be the best advice which I could give to you ( from my experience) to keep fighting when you feel like you’re in hell.
Patience. This is crucial..try to master it with different techniques. Imagine that when you recover you will truly be a stronger person and you will appreciate life in a different way.
Recovery is definitely possible and you need to believe in it. These are my last words.
I pray for all of you

Your last words??? I get that you say you’ve recovered and if so living life and busy, but last words? You can’t take time out of your day, week month or whatever to speak personally with some of us or encourageme us?? I’m sorry, but for someone that’s going through this, once I recover I wouldn’t‘disappear’. I’ll come back, give my number, maybe social, Instagram, and give hope to people who feel hopeless.
 
Hey guys. February 1st will be the 9th month since my last invega injection. Still can't get high. But something I didn't even realize I had lost from the previous 3 APs (fluphenazine, haldol, invega) was my energy. After the 6th month of being off of invega I noticed I was alot more energetic and I was no longer in this state of blankness or dullness. I enjoy things alot better now and everyday isn't the same anymore even though I still just lay in bed all day. In February I should be able to go back to the job I worked October 2019 through January 2020. The boss said that I can return anytime. I quit last year because I had no energy for it. I was on Haldol at the time. Last night I had a dream that I actually enjoyed working there. Everyother dream I had about the job was just a drag and in those dreams I just wanted to get out of there; just like how it was when I was working there.
Oh and some of my dreams are alot more lengthy, vivid, creative and action packed now too which I think came back around the 6th month also.
Take care guys!

Hoping that comes to life because I have to work now and I would just want to kill myself if I had to feel that rock bottom feeling the whole time.

Have you tried mdma?
 
Hey I'm on invega sustenna. I have tardive dyskinea from it and my mom still won't let me get off she thinks it's the best med for me. I literally hate her. I have chemical lobotomy from this drug. I have empty head all the time. I'm in a program called Fact team and they are the reason I'm still on. My prolactin is high and I've never been pregnant. I also have really bad akathisia. I can't sleep.
 
Hey guys it’s been a year since I last was on invega. Give or take a few days because my memory isn’t the greatest now. Around the same time as you John lol😔. Hate that this drug is effecting so many lives. I pray the lord restores us all and has compassion and mercy. So basically after first receiving this injection I was a vegetable, laid in bed all day, mom nearly had to shower me. Thankful I had the little amount of will power to not let her do so and shower myself. Lost all internal monologue, eye sight in one of my eyes worsened, anhedonia, cognitive impairment, bad memory, gained weight (stomach, breast, face). I even developed breasts!!!!! BUT by the grace of God somehow the breasts aren’t what they once were upon first receiving the injections. I had four injections in total, before speaking to a reasonable doctor who understood that me being underweight....because I was fasting, me staying up late at nights.....because I was praying and ect, wasn’t because I was crazy... but because I was practicing and applying my faith. Long story short I was completely misdiagnosed but I thank God I’m alive. I realise that so many people now who suffer from mental illnesses have their rights and humanity thrown out the window, horrible.
UPDATE: My internal monologue hasn’t been restored yet. I could say maybe a little improvement, but I’ll stick to saying no improvement till I notice an undoubtable change. Eye sight is better🙏🏾 Energy levels a bit better not pre invega but better than the first 7-8 months off. I can go out if I need to but usually in bed a lot still. Memory is still awful. Cognition is still not good. Can talk a bit better, bit better at faking that I’m normal. Unfortunately for me my sexual desires weren’t really affected, still “numb” but I do receive pleasure. Also my voice changed upon receiving these injections, became monotoned and quieter. Voice still hasn’t improved yet. It might not seem like I’ve improved, but I’ve seen a change. Energy levels being the most drastic. Just being able to move, talk ect, shower, may seem like a chore but not as much of a chore as the first few months.
 
Pray for me Christians, I pray we’re all restored. Also after receiving this injection did anyone feel like they lost their spirit, I know that sounds crazy and if you say anything here you’re deemed crazy. But after I got these injections I felt like something leave me.....kind of weird but yeah. Godbless you all
 
Sport is the best drug to reactivate
Sex is cool but u need your testosterone so masturbate but dont jerk off
 
Anyone hear who has done stimulants like Adderall and can feel them again after stopping Invega?

Get some smoked pepperoni snacks and just snack on them whenever you feel very low.
 
Hello everyone I am new here and this is my second post. Is it just me or does anyone else get horrible lethargy from Invadeyou Stillinyou. It always feels like I have been drinking alcohol and am tired in that way of having that toxins in my body. What kind of chemicals besides the active medical ingredients are in these shots I wonder. Why doesn’t the government regulate how awful the medication is to be on? Do you guys want to sue Jenssen Pharmaceuticals?
 
I found some interesting information.

Vitamin B6- Can help with prolactin. Well, B6 is a very complex vitamin and has many actions in the body, but the most likely explanation is that B6 lowers the amount of prolactin in the system. Prolactin is a hormone that, in excess amounts, interferes with ovulation and the regularity of cycles.

Invega weight gain is usually caused by prolactin. Bromocriptine removes prolactin. - https://www.drugs.com/mtm/bromocriptine.html

Fighting fire with fire is not the answer bro.
 
I think I've figured out what happens when the dopamine receptors are blocked

I believe it's the pre-synaptic dopamine receptors that affect people the most, since people have taken dopamine agonists to undo the damage but it hasn't work, the agonists work exclusively on the post-synaptic receptors

We need to make pergolide available for people, it's just another agonist but it works preferentially on dopamine autoreceptors(pre-synaptic)
