Can Invega cause suicidal thoughts?
Looking back through my diaries, I had suicidal thoughts (with no intent) throughout the entire time that I was on Invega and they've only stopped recently.
I had 11 shots of 100mg each and I've been off it for three months now. I've noticed some improvements and so has my brother, who says I'm 'more spontaneous.'
I'm enjoying music more. I wake up feeling happy some days. I think my concentration is better, although my imagination isn't pre-invega yet. I'm reading and writing more. I still struggle with motivation for some things, but it's not as bad as it was. I still have some emotional blunting. I can cry but I don't get overwhelmed with emotion like I used to do (and miss).
I'm not fully healed yet.
I think it's still in my system, but at a much lower dose. I've had some insomnia over the past couple of weeks, which is getting better.

It certainly can cause suicidal thoughts in just about anyone who’s had it. I’m glad you noticed improvements. Good luck to you in your recovery. I pray for a complete and speedy one for you buddy.

You have anhedonia. You would have had it even if you werent on invega . You need drugs to be happy. Here's a source showing you how your receptors get damaged , want more sources, would love to link them to you. It's not a theory its a fact I can show you plent evidence. You cant feel the same high is because you have anhedonia like I said, you need to go on the anhedonia thread on reddit and theirs plenty of people who cant get high or the high isnt the same and they never took invega. I truly believe your psychotic by your posts and I think you need to be on invega. I've seen someone on this thread as negative and obsessive over a topic like you. I honestly dont think you belong on bluelight, you need to go check into a rehab and get therapy and counseling.

I’m not psychotic. I’m just a little freaked out about the fact that I can do hard drugs like meth and not feel a thing. It was definitely never like that before Invega. I never just completely lost my ability to feel substances at all. Trust me I’ve done drugs for a long time. I’ve built tolerances. But I was always able to get high the entire time especially after a tolerance break. I realize doing drugs all the time can cause anhedonia. But this is something entirely different bro. There’s plenty of people who use way more than I did that still get high or atleast a buzz. I can take huge amounts of any drug and not feel a thing. Maybe your anhedonia is caused by recreational use but I’m telling you for a fact mine is not. I did drugs for many years and it’s never come anywhere close to the way it is now. I absolutely do not need to be on invega. I’m not psychotic. I’m worried that I’m never going to be able to feel like a human being again. I’m suicidal every single day. It appears to be getting worse, not better. Something is very clearly wrong with my brain right now. I’m worried because I’m not going to live my life like this. If it doesn’t get better I’m going to end up actually killing myself. Rehab and therapy aren’t going to make me feel human again. There’s nothing psychotic about being worried about the health of your brain. I came to blue light to try and find some hope that this will infact get better, and I keep finding evidence to the contrary and I am afraid. I realize I’m being negative and bitching and complaining a lot. But I don’t know what else to do. I’m very very afraid that I have permanent brain damage from just the 2 loading doses of the shot. If I saw any real success stories I would have more hope but I’m not seeing any real recoveries, just partial ones which aren’t very satisfactory to me. Again, I’m not psychotic bro. I’m just really bummed out about this because I’m afraid this is just my life now and that’s not something I’m able to just accept. I apologize if I make anyone uncomfortable and that I sound so negative. But I’m just being as honest as I can be according to everything I have researched about invega sustenna and antipsychotics in general. I’m not really sure what else to do. All I do all day anymore is research about it and hope to find evidence that I’m gunna go back to 100% normal in time. I’ve been suicidal before but it’s never been anything like what I feel now.

Invega causes anhedonia, that's why you cant get high.
 
Hey back in 2015 i was on risperidone i also xouldnt get high from weed or drunk but now they both worked after 8 months or so.

Im on a different antipsychotic drug noe so i probably cant get high again. But yeah you do recover. You need to stop repeating same thibg over and over agsin about never being able to get high. You really shouldnt be trying to get high if youve been on these meds. Drugs cause psychotic symptoms so if you dont want to relapse you should stay away from drugs.

I’m not actually psychotic
 
I 201'd myself. It was the 2nd time within 2 weeks bc i was feeling suicidal. And that's what he suggested so I took his advice and got the shot instead of the pills bc i knew i wouldn't take the pills and they knew i didn't take my meds. idk why that's the med he suggested. i guess bc it was my 2nd time there so recently but i wasn't psychotic
 
I shouldn't have even been there bc i wasn't even that bad. Thats my regret. I never needed to be there or to get that shot. But i did and now im in the boat im in.

Sucks that you were given an antipsychotic injection and you didnt even need it. Yeah these meds are definately over prescribed. They just give it to ppl even if they dont hsve any of the symptoms the meds are supposed to treat. Honestly its all corrupt with these meds. With how they over prescribe them to ppl and whst not. And they give us meds that make us feel like shit.

I dont think your psychotic but you do sound like a drug addict. You hsve such an obsession with wanting to get high when there are more things to be worried about. Like did these meds dumb you down and what not. Make it so you csn barely speak. Its those symptoms im more worried about as opposed to whether or not im able to get high or not

I am a drug addict
 
Btw i agree with you Bigsmoke420, that i can't get high bc the anhedonia. They go hand in hand. Its part of not being able to feel anything

for some reason it seems like the shots tend to do that. the pills rarely do it. the shots are just so damn potent
