I am constantly having to reject to take the COVID vaccine because of what happened to everyone from the invega shot, so untrustworthy and they take us for fools.
I laugh at society now because invega has forever changed my perception of reality..
I have been around for awhile on these forums though.

U know what pisses me off. People saying poor hygiene is mental illness. I would spend hours in the bathroom before they gave me the shot. Now I have no motivation to do those things. It’s not my mental health it’s the shot. It zaps away all your motivation to do anything. But this shit head doctors can say it’s your mental health. Screw the government and these drugs

My doctor told me the same thing when I told her that I dont have motivation to do anything.This shit sucks asf ,I got so angry 😤
 
just some information on those who who want to reduce their weight

There are medications to treat high prolactin levels, especially if there are symptoms the person wants to get rid of. These include:


  • Cabergoline is a medication taken twice weekly. The doctor will start at a low dose and increase the dose until the prolactin levels are normalized. The medication is taken until there are no symptoms or until you become pregnant (if that is what you are hoping for). Cabergoline lowers the prolactin levels faster than in those who take bromocriptine, but it can cause problems with the heart valves if taken in doses that are too high.
  • Bromocriptine is taken by some people with elevated prolactin levels. It helps to increase the dose gradually and can be used as a suppository given in the vagina. Side effects include headache, nausea and lightheadedness.
 
It's been almost a year since I was supposed to receive my last shot but didn't so I figured I'd update on my situation. I would be off for a year on April 15th. I took Invega Sustenna for close to a year, then had 3 or 4 Invega Trinza injections which you take once every three months.

My psychiatrist refused to change my medication in any way after bringing up my side effects to him which included weight gain, lactation, anhedonia, inability to sustain employment, and suicidality so I just ghosted him. I am in Ontario, Canada and was not on a CTO, and my psychiatrist did not end up putting me on one after I refused to show up. The nurse repeatedly called me for a couple of days. I did not reply. She called my family, my mom just said that I don't want to take it anymore and the nurse said that it's ok but that I'll probably end up in the psych ward again.

The worst I felt was right after coming out of my psychosis and about 5-6 months after coming off Invega.

Anhedonia has passed. I feel things again! I was on the bus today and felt the warmth of the sun on my face. It felt so freaking nice. I am able to enjoy music, random small accomplishments. My sleep is more or less normal. On Invega, I used to wake up every 2 hours or so and it really fucked with me. I also slept for at least 12 hours every day, 14 or 16 hour sleeps happened too. Now I sleep a normal amount 7-9 hours and I wake up in the mornings fine.

I lost most of the weight I had gained from Invega, by counting calories. Tried to exercise here and there, but was unsuccessful to sticking to it.

One thing that has not recovered is my period. I get it maybe once every three months. I feel like I've been effectively sterilized so that's that.

Had no relapses of psychosis. Had a bit of mania, during which I slept a smaller amount of time per day and made some plans for the future. They weren't too out there and I wouldn't say they were delusional, albeit a bit grandiose. Made sure to sleep even if I didn't feel like it. I used hypnosis by Michael Sealy on youtube. They're pretty good. At the height of my "mania" I need 2 or 3 videos to finally fall asleep, but it ends up working in the end.

I sometimes have weird dreams where I feel like I'm psychotic again. Sometimes I randomly feel random intense euphoria in the middle of the night while I'm asleep and it wakes me up. I had some weird headaches during my recovery too, they mostly felt like tension in the prefrontal cortex. I still get them sometimes, but with lesser frequency.

Another thing that has not recovered is my speech. I have troubles expressing my thoughts. Sometimes I stop in the middle of a sentence, unable to finish it. This bothers me a lot. I tried to work on it, by making personal video entries where I talk about random things. If I start to monologue, after about ten minutes or so, my speech flows pretty okay. My problem is answering questions or keeping a conversation.

Recently, I also started to mess up words while typing. I write aloud instead of allowed. Complex instead of cortex, stuff like that. Never used to happen to me before, but here we are. I don't know how it is related to Invega, if it is at all.

I also can't quite focus while driving. It feels like I'm in a weird haze, like my brain is covered with some kind of film or something. Idk how to properly explain it. I just don't feel 100% present.

You're not alone. Invega makes you dumb. Some other antipsychotics are even worse in cognitive ability.

It's a nitemare that I wish on no body except my enemies. And they're the ones that had the influence to put me on Invega in the first place.

All you can do is campaign against Invega until the nitemare stops. I'm trying to get in the white house to put an end to antipsychotic profit and make weed free to those that want it.

it’s not invega (paliperidone) it’s not the people who put you on them it’s antipsychotics in general i’m getting better and what caused it was weed in your country in some states it is legally obtainable it doesn’t make you dumb it slows you down a lot which passes off of all medications and stops you going psychotic weed made me psychotic and also slows you down to where you feel dumb legalising the stuff is stupid more people will try it and the small percentage that can get psychosis from it will increase but i’m not that worried i’m not in your country and i can spell nightmare.
 
You don't function normally on antipsychotics. Weed helped me regain worth and hope. I'm still fat as hell because of that shit, and it's just generally difficult to exercise. But I'm still undergoing it against my will.

If you're psycho, it might be a trauma you didn't process healthy.

Have you heard of anyone losing their logic? Cause I have and it's from the loading dose of paliperidone

well if it’s their first drug it’s because it’s fresh out of hospital and myself for example tried thinking of an outlandish reason as to why i was unwell but shit just happens and all you have is logic if not you wouldn’t be asking questions

Don’t forget drunk too. No there’s something about the invega molecule that is unnatural and undesirable.

i wasn’t exactly excited to get a giant needle full of chemicals stabbed into my arm and i can’t get drunk or high anyway even if i could i wouldn’t want to experience a dulled down experience of life like on meds
 
If you guys are feeling completely hopeless, taking St. John's Wort actually does improve things a bit; just don't have too high of expectations.. It will be mild to moderate but you will notice an increase in motivation and mood by taking it.
 
The only difference between a medicine and a poison is the dose.
