Hey Hopeful! Nice to meet you again! I've also fully recovered from the shot multiple times, and I'm currently on the invega too. I've learned to live with it, as if I don't take it I do relapse. Just be careful those who are recovering, you may go manic/psychotic again (if you weren't misdiagnosed).
How many months are you off invega? How many doses and at what strength?
8 shots 230 msg the first 5 after loading dose then tapered off
Oh okay. Yeah it’s gonna be a process just keep trying to stay active and have a healthy diet. Those help clear it out faster than you think. Also for me personally I took St. John’s wort and I believe it helped clear it out quicker. But check with your doctor before starting it, do your own research cause it counteracts with a bunch of different medications. So yeah
Thanks just hoping I recover. Almost two years of this. 8 months on the shot and ten months of recovery
All we need to do is to wait and have hope for our recovery.I was also in depression and having suicidal thoughts but now I'm not experiencing it anymore but I'm not happy either.I'm 2 months off since taking the paliperidone shot.Also pray to God to heal u,
you said you were taking ashwaganda root and mucuna pruriens correct? that's what i'm taking now. but i'm thinking of switching from dopa mucuna (800mg mucuna extract, 120 mg L-Dopa) to NALT (N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine) somewhere around 2 or 3 weeks in, it's been a week so far. i'm also drinking premium matcha tea and taking ginkgo biloba. will probably order some l-theanine to go along with the NALT.
I also wake up with suicidal thoughts and to be honest have them through out the day. I'm also going through a very difficult time and not sure how I'm going to make it. I just pray for some relief because I could not live like this for a long time. I just couldn't take the pain
yes it will feel like that until you are off of the medication but for me i stopped feeling that prior to being off of it when i just got used to feeling that way for so long that i stopped caring i used to wake up everyday and forget for a second and then boom full realisation of the present moment and it’s daunting to think about but it will pass just because you cannot process complex things just yet does not mean that you are useless you have arms you have legs etc you can find small things to do even if you try it once a day focus on tiny things simple easy stuff for now then build up it’s like relearning what it’s like to be a person i don’t feel my emotions yet but i’m good at faking emotion and the anhedonia that’s mostly gone but just can’t get that rush from a good/bad thing yet i had early intervention team support and family you must have someone outside of this forum to speak to and who will atleast try to understand and if you can make them happy with like a gift or something you can live through them until you can rise again i’m almost there and i never thought i’d say that but it’s just a time game forget supplements and wanting to get high and stuff (not aimed at you this part it’s a few people in this forum) people want to get back to themselves and immediately take drugs to make themselves dumb like on antipsychotics i’ve never understood that and also risk being put back on them losing any progress if you want specific tips message me mate i’ve been where you are it gets better believe me
I was only on the loading dose of 250mg but it's really messed me up. I was literally in pain today because when I try to focus it actually gives me a headache. Today has been probably the worst day in my life. I'm almost at 4 months off now and am praying for some relief soon because I don't know how I'm going to make it like this
