Hey im in same boat as you. Got put on antipsychs. Recovered from them, then got put on them again. Now im community treatment ordered. Which means im forced to take medication forever. I can only appeal it in september. Hopefully i win
Did you experience weight gain as well?
 
Has anyone on here tried diet programs like Weight watchers or Noom?
No, not those. I am now back on invega shots, 75 mg, after being 6 months without. But there is no weight gain, i used this shit for years.

I eat healthy vegetarian food and i walk really much. Might sound weird, as i am a chain smoker and an alcoholic, but it is just something i do.
 
The shots affects everyone differently. You’re one of the lucky ones if you don’t have adverse weight changes.

I don't know about the luck... I have to pee very often. And in social drinking settings, it kinda sucks when i go to bathroom and come back all the time. I think i have raised some doubts in some. Masturbation addiction? Drug fixes in the toilet? I just really need to pee often and that is all :(
 
I the man hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. He hath led me, and brought darkness, but not light. Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand all the day. My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones. He hath builded against me, and compassed with gall and travail. He hath set me in dark places, as dead of old. He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy. Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer. He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked. He unto me a bear lying in wait, a lion in secret places. He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate. He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins. I was a derision to all my people; their song all the day. He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood. He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes. And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity. And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the Lord: Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. My soul hath still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. The Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

Lamentations 3:1-22

How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? Consider hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the death; Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

Psalm 13:1-6

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? far from helping me, the words of my roaring? O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. But thou holy, that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. But I a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, He trusted on the Lord he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. But thou he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope upon my mother's breasts. I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou my God from my mother's belly. Be not far from me; for trouble near; for none to help. Many bulls have compassed me: strong of Bashan have beset me round. They gaped upon me their mouths, a ravening and a roaring lion. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. My praise of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

Psalm 22:1-26

I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. Lord, all my desire before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. They also that seek after my life lay snares: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

Psalm 38:8-12
 
Does anyone feel like time moves slower on the shot? Like it’s harder to pass time while on it.
I feel like time is slowly passing waiting to see any improvements often feeling disappointed and depressed at what my life has become because of this drug

It’s actually good that you pee a lot. Invega is excreted from the system via urination. So the more you pee, the quicker it leaves your system.

I would really like someone from v3 to come here to tell us how he is now, we are few and all with problems, it would take a bit of positivity
 
like to think that they are all healed and for this reason they do not come back here to write or that in any case they have moved on with their lives
