Hey for those staying on Invega I've heard having a lower dose reduces the bad anhedonia and lack of interest in things. When I was on 50 mg I could actually exercise and play video games.
 
I've honestly found the way out of this. If anyone wants any advice please feel free to message me.
Did you find the cognitive fog and anhedonia go away slowly or quickly? I'm 6 months off (from 2 shots, 100mg and 150mg) and still unable to play computer games or watch tv. My mind just feels zonked out and like playing a game just feels gross. Also I still can't get drunk or high and in what time period did you get this back and again quickly or slowly? The only improvement I've had is that I don't feel as restless as before and my sleep is pretty decent, but yeh because I'm unemployed I spend most of the day on facebook and reddit and just browse all day because that's about all I can handle. I go for walks daily and try to fit in as much food as possible even though it's hard for me. Thanks in advance
 
I think you have to really try to make some positive life choices. Start something new, like stopping sexual stimulation for a while, start a cold shower regiment. Take some serotonin and dopamine boosting suppliments. Stop watching porn if you do. All these things, plus not masturbating is really getting myself back to where I need to be.
 
These medications leave you DEPRESSED. You have to do things that lift you out of depression. It's the hardest thing ever to do, but with a little motivation and telling yourself I have to do this to make me come out of this rut, the more you will want to do things that benefit your life as well as get some feel good chemicals back in your brain.

That didn't really answer any of my questions but thanks anyway
 
I was on 3 years of Invega, 117mg of most of it, and now I've been off it for like 7 months, and I say f*ck psychiatry, it's a bunch of f*cken bullshit..forced psychiatry, court orders and stuff..man some of these people including one of the guys who worked at the mental health clinic who testified against me in the court for the court order, I could beat the f*ck out of him..I don't know if my brain chemistry will ever be the same, I might not be able to feel as good as I could before the Invega I don't know..I'm just powering through this sh*t though right now, going down swinging..that's the only way to go..two middle fingers in the air..
 
Check out the work of former psychiatrist Dr. Peter Breggin, I think that maybe a couple of other people on this whole thread and the last one mentioned him too, psychiatry is f*cken bullshit..

 
I notice major improvements bud. I'm just telling you what I'm doing to lift me out of the depression. Give it a try, you might shock yourself.
any supplements i should take now that i am off all APs?

i still take st john worts and lions mane.
i still take my green powder mix with protein shake.
i still take omega 3 and vitamin d3 pills.
anything else i need to take?

i been 295 days off from invega but i was on ablifiy since then. i am no longer required to take meds as of last week. so now , i can remove abilifiy from my system.

ps: no signs of weight loss but that must be the abilifiy.

I take 5htp with l-tyrosine, I take vitamin B12 and D, magnesium glycinate, and lions mane. I stopped the st John's wort as I feel I no longer need it.
 
Now that everbody's talking about not wanting to get a mandatory Covid vaccine, and are like 'over my dead body'..now might be a great time to bring up getting rid of forced psychiatry and court-ordered injections to people..
In all honesty, I think the covid vaccine is really nothing like psych meds. Psych meds change your brain chemistry so much so that you don't feel alive.
 
holy fuck everyone. Good luck dealing with this. man what a nasty drug.

I know now, I will fight tooth and nail to keep this shit away from me and my family if anyone ever needs antipsychotic treatment.

After reading this thread I would rather drop 20k on attorney fees battling a court order than get injected with this shit.

It really does rob you of time, and feelings. I feel like I lost two years of my life. Precious time, that I will never get back. Was it worth it? Not when I had nothing wrong with me in the first place. Was it necessary? Yes. Given my situation and what I was going through. It's taught me a lot. To really have compassion and gratitude towards things . My grandparents were both on psych meds their whole lives and o understand now what that's like. I plan to take what I've learned and warn people of the dangers of these medications. They really haven't been studied enough. They say it's supposed to help mental health? How about destroying it. I literally wanted to kill myself last year. How is that supposed to help ones mental health? Baffles my mind. But, these drugs are designed for one thing and that's to make money for both the doctors and the pharmaceutical industry. It's sad, that we've come to this level of idiocy in our so called health care system. To benefit off of people's suffering. To me, mental illness is a spiritual problem. We don't need medication, we need someone to talk to who's first line of defense isn't a handful of pills or a nasty injection.

It's an experimental mRNA vaccine for one thing, which isn't like any other vaccine that there's been before, and who really knows what it does to you..some may not like this..

Hey guys I just wanted to say that this thread helped me out when I was really low and saved me from getting more than 2 invega shots. I had my last shot December 4th and now I have pretty much 90% recovered. I feel like I am still getting better every single day Really just sleeping and eating protein, fruits, and vegetables helped me out a lot. You gotta cut out any fried food or foods high in saturated fat because they increase the prolactin in your body. Still have minor gyno tho but that's not that big of a deal imo. The only issue I have now is that I got some digestion issues from the Pfizer vaccine but other than that I feel great. Starting college in the fall and gonna try to get a job eventually. Just wanted to post something positive here to keep everyone in good spirits during their recovery process. Best regards.
 
My recovery, at this point, is still going smoothly. Vraylar, like the last legs of the comedown from Invega Sustenna, is such that for many consecutive hours throughout the day I am unable to access latent energies from my lightbody, but when those few moments emerge where I am able to utilize my prana, I feel exceptional. I have not felt this good in nearly ten years now. At this point I am still unsure about putting a finger down to say "100% recovered" because I have had letdowns in the past.

These days I spend most of my time going for long walks, eating good food, working out, meditating, and caring for Bonsai. I also spend the majority of my time In The Moment - almost never thinking about the past or the future; and when I do catch myself, I don't have to try very hard to stop dwelling on past mistakes and future scenarios.

I still have fantasies occasionally, but can meditate out of them if I so chose... Yeah, coming off Invega Sustenna and then Vraylar, caused me to have persistent fantasies that just WOULD NOT go AWAY! When I was in my early twenties I almost never had a problem with fantasies. If ever I had them I could easily stop them at will. Fortunately my ability to control my fantasies is going back to normal, but my full recovery seems a ways off. Maybe a month?
