I don’t understand how people can’t recover from Invega. I’m on 50mgs and when I space out the dosage even three days difference I drop a few pounds and get my period back and some of my symptoms return. Which means I probably can’t ever come off the stuff or have to switch antipsychotics or I have to go slowly with spacing out the dosages. I got down to 113 pounds and now I’m back up to 117 pounds with bad eating and I’m feeling very discouraged. I’m not sleeping at night and feeling very dizzy. Gotta start dieting again and going for long walks

AP only mask your issues. They are still there waiting and AP wont ever cure them. Try omega 3, B complex, ginko bilboa, lithium orotate, high dose niacin, wheat grass, healthy diet and yoga it helped people with schizophrenia. I think yoga and healthy diet is cure for all mental problems and some big spiritual gurus have same attitude.

Intro to yoga: https://www.artofliving.org/us-en/how-to-make-the-yamas-and-niyamas-work-for-you-in-the-modern-world.
Yoga is much more than just exercises, they are just small part of it and they are called asanas. It has power to reverse dementia.

I suggest 2h of meditation with empty mind just focusing on breath, this is called dhyana. And 2h of meditation where you say mantra in your head for one chakra of your choice, next day use different chakra mantra, this is called dharana. Both are important limbs of yoga. Do breathwork at least 15min oriented on five vayus, you do it by directing your breath in those directions towards those areas as you breathes. You can direct your breath from top of your head by just intent and it seems like its not possible but breath is not air and can flow anywhere you direct it. Holding yamas and niyamas is also very important limb of yoga and eazy actually but beneficial. Samadhi you can't do, it is achieved by holding/doing all other 7 limbs. If you do lotus pose while meditating you dont need to do yoga asanas but they are useful to do at least 10min. Holding lotus pose in meditation is not required, one may lay down if he/she wants and meditate. Realize you are not body and not your mind since you can observe both and you are that awarenes/conciesness.
Turn inward (pratyahara limb of yoga):

Religion is for those that fear hell and spirituality is for those who have been in hell. Yoga is one way of spirituality.

hard to imagine when at month 1 nerve wrecking
 
Guys i think fasting is probably a good idea especially avoiding proteins, carbohydrates and fats which fatigue the already burned out system. Its probably a good idea to take vitamins from fruits but esp natural blend juices. This will direct all the energy from the gut to the brain for much needed healing. Plenty of rest is also essential avoid exercising at all costs and above all refrain from the worst : murstabation.

Why avoid exercising? I think we should avoid it in first 2 months only cuz then if you do it, it makes you feel much worse. Now at 3months when I exercise it does not affect me much.

Cant answer that everyone is different, it just makes more since the more injections you have the likelyhood of recovery goes down

This is wrong. Staying on invega for 2 years is the recommended way to avoid a relapse again. If you have had psychosis once you need to be on it for 2 years. If you had psychosis 2 times then you need to be on it for longer, then the more relapses you get go figure. I have had 17 depo shots of invega I will become my old self again.

AP only mask issues as I said. They might prevent relapse if they damage you parmently so you cant experience high dopamine so relapse is not possible, so thats the only way they might work, but you never become your old self than, only partialy. Sad truth. AP works by causing you loose interest in your delusions cuz no dopamine.

invega is poison mate avoid
 
Good news and bad news .. Bad news i still have to be on anti-psychotics, good news is i'm off the CTO so no more injections. i was contemplating suicide for the last 2 week.
I'm being switched to 10mg of aripriprazol which isn't too big of a dose and still increases dopamine a bit when invega is gone at least it's a partial agonist. It's far better than depot injections of either drug. Also getting a review panel next 3 or 4 months. After teh review panel i'm going to toss them in the bin anyway there is no way for them to know.

Still very restless and agitated from invega which really gets to me, not looking forward to taking abilify either. hopefully i can recover from shitty invega now
got 3 injections of invega total 150 mg loading 100 mg boosting shot and a thirth 75 mg shot i'm praying for recovery :(

i got alot of people around me complaining how the shot is ruining my life including my general practitioner, neightbours etcetra ,got loads of thirth party people involved. so they decided to drop the injections under peer pressure.
1 month + 1 day off invega don't know what to do to spend the time. Playing bit of wargame, going for a walk or pacing around the house. it pretty much blows

There is no one who has had over 15 shots that has recovered that's a fact
