Mental Health Coming off Invega (paliperidone) injections, v 5.0

Status
Not open for further replies.
Paliperidone to geodon which is ziprasidone. Both in the “done” family. Was wondering if my prolactin level is going to stay elevated even though the doctors said it has likely to have an effect on prolactin and on weight. But wouldn’t I lose weight by now? I used to lose a pound or two with every spacing out of the dosage on Invega Sustenna. I was also on Topamax while on Invega Sustenna.
 
I think the Topomax might have helped you lose weight. I remember taking it after the invega shots and had lost about 5-10 pounds on it.
 
More than 7 months off ...also my doc lower my dosage of amisulpride to 200mg ...in the mornings i feel depressed but in the nights depression is somewhat light ...i still dont feel like my old self but definitetly have some improvements on my mood ...its not good but not that bad eighter im aiming 9 month mark ...maybe there will be significant improvements ...i dunno but i have hope.
 
Is there any proof, that Invega damages testosterone levels permanenntly?
I have that feeling that Invega cause irreversible damage to the body.
For example my voice.
My voice used to be a bit deeper before i was on Invega i remember.
Now i am off for 2 years but my voice still not as deep as it was before.
It is like my test levels are permanenntly lowered.

Could Invega sustenna cause Blood testosterone decreased? - a phase IV clinical study - eHealthMe

A phase IV clinical study of FDA data: Blood testosterone decreased is found as a side effect among people who take Invega sustenna (paliperidone palmitate)
www.ehealthme.com
 
I can’t find any long term research results on testosterone levels after quitting invega, but there are plenty which show it decreases testosterone levels while taking the drug.
It is actually pretty hard to find long term research for negative results on any antipsychotic. I feel like the media purposely hides/omits research that shows how harmful these drugs are.

¿Hay alguna prueba de que Invega dañe los niveles de testosterona de forma permanente?
Tengo esa sensación de que Invega causa daños irreversibles en el cuerpo.
Por ejemplo mi voz.
Recuerdo que mi voz solía ser un poco más grave antes de estar en Invega.
Ahora estoy fuera por 2 años, pero mi voz todavía no es tan profunda como antes.
Es como si mis niveles de prueba se redujeran permanentemente.

Try taking Mucuna pruriens, it elevates testosterone and dopamine

Jason ross boehm used to have T levels of 4.0 now he's chronic 0.9 he's like 6 years off invega

Invega causes semi permanent side effects

yeah that sucks, so you never were hearing voices yet you got put on invega sustenna, whats up with all these misdiagnoses seems like everyone on here was misdiagnoses and placed on invega. so you took invega for 7 months? lol that sucks, well thats probably why you havnt recovered yet since you took it for 7 straight months it must take a while to recover, so if youve been off it for 9 months now thats means youve been suffering for a year and a half. wow. do you work?

Hi there, thank you so much for sharing this with us. I'm going to merge this in with our Invega megathread. If you have any questions please message me.
 
Watching that vid i had the exact same symptoms...4 years bro...brian is 5 years off just from one injection and his life is still ruined..he smokes meth to compensate for the permanent side effects...jason ross boehm over 6 years off he's still ruined. I thought hey i only received 3 i should have a chance at recovery right ? Im going to fucking kill the psycniatrist..stab her eyes out and make her blind for the rest of her life

The burning brain pain was so severe i had seizures in my sleep..i could hear myself screaming in my head..the fucking stupid doctor blamed the benzodiazapines i was taking
Heart pain so severe i couldn't lay still for 1 second
I couldn't walk for months

Over 5 months off and zero improvement..at first i thought i had improvements i felt like 3% better but realized i just had a window then everthing regressed and i developed heart pain so severe 2 days ago i nearly collapsed in the grocery store..i sat there for like one hour. I still want to kill myself everyday all day i can think about is suicide.. yesterday i was about to walk to the forest and poison kill myself

I wouldn't even give invega to pedophiles...making johnson and johnson money is a worse crime

Just like you all i can think about is invega all i talk about is invega and nobody wants talk about it they have zero clue

Torture! How could they do this to people? I got 3 injections btw. If your still suffering from very bad BRAIN PAIN and insane depression you will need to get on Medication rite away to fix the damage that that injection did. For example I'm taking:
900mg lithium carbonate ER
200mg lamictal
10mg lexapro (made a big difference)

THIS MEDICATION SAVED MY LIFE!!!!!!!
I WILL LIVE!
I understand you completely and believe me when I say if I can do it, so can you. I'm not trying to discourage people by telling them it's over and suicide is the only way out of this torture. If I knew that this would happen I would have left the country. I felt like on was lsd all day long.
