They wanted to give me antidepressants too. Here’s the thing, if Invega shuts down both seratonin and dopamine then it’s absolutely useless to give someone antidepressants for that reason. I don’t think the doctor’s really think these things through. I refused the antidepressants. I’ve been in your situation bro. I’ve been off the shot for 5 months now and wondering what the hell I should do is something I’m still dealing with but have noticed some improvement. I noticed some improvement in the fog lifting just after 4 months so I hope it’s the same for you. We can get through this together.
Yeah I hope so too. The no reward makes life so not worth it. Used to love Battle Royale which is so reward oriented.

Used to be hyper aware of my inner self so I know how destructive this has been to me because I used to chase dopamine by learning, etc.

Man, this is just something. Times will be really hard and I just don’t know if I can make it to the finish line of 8-12 months because that’s the time I’ve given myself to recover.
 
I get really scared reading Mark Dunn on quora. I don’t know if anyone is the same. I read this answer and it is more reassuring


I just need to know, scientifically, what happened to us and if we can recover 100%..
 
In an opium den, clearly. * edit - no drug sourcing please - n3o * I think COVID has blocked the supply lines a fair bit. Or it's been processed into other analgesics?
* edit - no drug sourcing please - n3o * Guess that's the best info I can get so far.

Yeh I felt much like you. Couldn't feel St Johns Wort, couldn't feel my anti depressants, couldn't feel benzo's. It like completely fucks your dopamine and serotonin receptors and I still can't get high or intoxicated. But I've been starting to feel ok and i'm in the 7th month. I know the emptiness feeling is a terror to live with it but I urge you to not give up. Your brain is an amazing thing and I don't think AP's will permanently effect you unless you've been on them for years or something

Did your sleep recover.

It’s good that you feel better. I am getting obsessed with it because the feeling just doesn’t go away.

Do you have urges to game or learn. I dont have any urge. Do you think music is sounding better?
 
Okay i am going to level with you all. Because you deserve only truths from me, even if the truth is brutal.

Yeah Monday... The police + paramedics episode and the psychiatric evaluation. We reached an agreement that i will go back using this stuff. And believe it or not, i want to, even though i have written plenty about all the side effects. I am too insane to be without invega. They could not give it to me right away. They said some clinic will be in contact. Won't hold my breath waiting... holding breath does not help, it will only make me faint, then autonomous nervous system makes me breathe again. Been without beer for like... 1.5 days now. Been rough, but i need to make stuff happen.

Tomorrow is Friday and i am getting 60 euros from social security... Thursday today and their office and cashier is open. Gonna negotiate with my social worker if i can get it today. Gonna explain everything in a nutshell. Police, hospital, psychiatric, invega, fucking everything. She will agree i am quite sure about that. So then i have to limp 7 kilometers to city center with a fucking wrecked left ankle. I will crawl there somehow. Then i will buy meds. Then i will go to health center, ask for a nurse for 5 minutes, but that shit will backfire. It always backfires. The fuckers only care about the renamed seasonal flu. They are gonna send me home without any help at all.

So this is my question: I have no experience at all, of injecting anything, ever. How hard it is, for me, to do an intramuscular injection to myself? I have gambler spirit. Willing to gamble losing my left arm in order to not fall into the depths of psychosis.

PS. You might see a news article, or already seen those... That Finland is a fine example of working healthcare system. Ignore that shit. Disregard that shit as a BLATANT lie.

Yes my sleep has recovered, that happen around the 6 month mark.

Yes I know it's fucked up

Yes I can game now and listen to music. I regained me ability to enjoy music around the 6 month mark and gaming around the 7 month mark

This is what I've been listening to recently, I hope you can enjoy it

Situation A: Hopefully they will pleasantly surprise you and you will be able to get a nurse to do it, so that you don't have to worry about doing it yourself.
Situation B: You end up without getting help and you choose to do it yourself. Intramuscular injections are not difficult. Painful? Yes. Difficult? No. The risk of infection and losing your arm is very low IF you do it in an extremely clean and cautious manner.
 
hello guys it was a long time since I went back to write here, now I am 7 months out of injections, but I am not well, I am working and I am no longer what I was before, zero concentration in the kitchen and lack of energy, I am very depressed and I am afraid of do not heal anymore, I think I will soon be fired, I ran away to work in the mountains to escape from the doctors and my family but I am very ill

I'm really sorry to hear that man :( I really hope you don't lose your job. From what I have read in here and elsewhere, you will recover, it's just a matter of time. Please don't give up hope <3

Thanks for your reply. I am just scared my sleep maintenance insomnia won’t heal. I’ve not heard a lot of users post about this problem here.

Situation C: So called "friends" will not pay their debt to me (10 euros) Ankle went into even worse shape so i was unable to even try walk downtown. Office there closed now. I had 88 cents in my bank. Bus fare is 3 euros. I ask from mom, if she could borrow me 2 euros and 12 cents, so i can try to get my medication fixed. Mom rejects. But, i tried. And now i won't.
 
@n3ophy7e No, friend. You don't have to react with sadness. Although i kinda like it, it shows empathy, but you have already proven that you have plenty of that. Situation update: Mom cut off all relationship and connections with me because i am so often asking for help. It is alright. Dad was never there to begin with. Real life "friends" keep lying. But i got this. I managed to get in contact with my social security worker again, and money she agreed that i can get from the cashier there today, (and were deducted from my tomorrow's 63 euros) are back in payment tomorrow again. Then i have bus fares for transportation, tobacco to calm my nerves and my meds. If the health center sends me out, i will go to the ER again. I will say that situation is not acute, i can wait for hours and hours if i have to. It is fine. I just need 5 minutes with a nurse and get my injection so i do not have to try to do it myself. Monday was different. The hangover, cigarette cravings, no way to get out of there before the evaluation from the psychiatrist. Tomorrow is going to be easier to handle there.
 
Tomorrow will be one year off the shot. What has changed? Well, for starters I can feel my emotions coming back, sometimes very intense. I can cry over something sad (death of someone in my family for example). I am getting more and more cognitive function back. I find I'm not always in a fog anymore. I'm not slurring my words, and I can hold a conversation quite well if it's something I'm intrigued about. My sexual function is coming back, I am able to get aroused over thinking of anything sexual, although I try to abstain from anything of the sort. I'm on a spiritual journey and I don't masturbate or indulge in porn. The connection with myself is greatly improving, as I am able to keep contact with my higher self. I've been doing a lot of energy healing, including sound frequency healing to try and wake up all my chakras. I can definitely feel my third eye more and more.

The effects of alcohol and marijuana are definitely back to what they were pre invega, as I can get a buzz off just two beer! To me that's incredible, because last summer I could drink a 12 case and not feel anything. I don't indulge in either of these substances as I try to focus more on my spirit and the energy that's inside me more than anything.

To those of you that are still on this horrible drug my heart goes out to you. Lord knows I've had my bouts with depression and anxiety it can cause. I'm only now starting to get back to my piece of mind and not constantly feeling fear or worry. My journey is very personal to me, and no one understands it but me. I'm not going to go into full detail about it, because I feel that it's in the past now. I've learned a great deal from this and will apply what I've learned to the next chapter of my life.

Stay strong everyone, I will post again in six months time. ✌️

Beautiful! Seems to me like you are doing great! This is a survival story.

I am not an expert, but i think you might have been put to taking invega shots for a wrong reason or wrong reasons. You seem stable. Keep up the good work and thank you for the encouraging words for the rest of us.

Thank you so much for your update! I'm so glad to hear you're doing well, and I'm sure your experience will give hope to a lot of people in this thread <3
 
Patients taking Invega should ask their doctors for more accurate estimations, as it varies between patients. However, according to drugs.com, Invega has a long half life range that can last between 25 to 49 days.

It is important to note that it can take between five to six half lives for the body to completely process the drug, so patients can expect it to take between 150 to 300 days for their last Invega dose to leave their system.

Is this true? it takes this much time to get rid of this poison ? I have only taken this first shot (out of two), does it count as the same?

Is there anything to be done to get rid of it faster ?

Is there a right reason? I really want to know.
