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

Status
Not open for further replies.
Has anyone here lost weight before the 6 month mark? I've started walking hoping to lost weight but I've gone from 64.7kg to 65.4kg in the last week since I've started walking
 
I’m 90 days off Invega Sustenna and still haven’t experienced any weight loss. I’m running 5.5 miles a day and going back to the gym at night to do heavy weights. I’m pissed! Still no period either.
 
Cant believe some ppl getting more than the initial dose. I got the shakes a couple of hours after the first dose and the day after my life was over. They wanted to give me the loading dose the week after but I refused I was probably going to serious hurt them if they would have tried so they let me off. They could probably allready tell their work was done. The hell fase was for me was the first two months then I got my erections back and my stomach started to work ok again. Unfortunately I got the covid shot in the same arm where I have the invega so it messed me up. Before I slept 11 hours and now its between 4 and 9 and not so well and Im not very hungry anymore. Have read on this thread about others who have suffered perhaps even worse then I do and then all of a sudden they are back to themselves and can cry and all that again. Keep your hopes up.
 
Hey guys just an update as I’m coming to the end of my 6 month period, I became sick all day since last night and been throwing up harshly and was feeling weak, I was having a hard time staying sleep and was experiencing hot flashes and all this is after I have been taking supplements to better the side effect on invega paliperidone. I also got exercised a lot. I my memory had gotten better, i feel I can see life better today and this is all over night. Wish you all the best

Nice. How did you do it?
 
About 50% of people working in psychiatric institutions should be thrown in concentration camps and starved to death or beaten to death they absolutely should be treated worse than jews in ww2. These useless parasites do nothing but damage to people. Close these shitholes down

If they themselfs had to take these shots they would scream murder.. bunch of cowards...these people are worse than drug dealers that sell meth to kiddies

I know the struggle. I’ve been in your place twice, working out day and night but seeing no results.
If you haven’t crossed the 4 month mark yet and don’t see your weight constantly going up every week, then you’re doing something right. Your exercise is definitely paying off in maintaining the weight. Just be patient for another couple months, and you’ll shed the pounds soon enough.
Also, My period returned at the 6 month mark both times I was off invega.

It makes me terrified that it feels literally for eternity that my life is miserable. I've taken invega pill form and injection (sustenna) and both were huge difference. Invega pill forms are better then invega sustenna (cannot be compared) and recently they invented 6 month injection. I don't know what to do with my life. Whenever I went to school I just hated my life, whenever I watched a show it was just no enjoyment. I'm only hopeless.

I ran for twenty minutes today and just left the gym…I almost started crying. All my hard work is going unnoticed and I think it’s the ziprasidone that’s not letting me lose weight. I got my period back the 23rd and 24th of this month but that’s it. I’m losing hope.
 
@HelpMeInvega How long did it take for you to get your period back? I'm 61 days off invega & trying to lose weight also but I seem to keep putting on weight even though I've started exercising again. It's so frustrating. How many shots did you have including loading doses? How long have you been off invega?
 
I got off the community treatment order by my dad just asking to get me off it and the doctor agreed. The doctor agreed but still wants me on meds. So im still tsking the flupenexiol injection but im hoping to get off and put on seroquel. When i move out of my parents place i plan to stop tsking meds and just push tjrough for a year and wait to recover then finally be med free. Idk if ill be able to live working for a whole year while on meds and cooking etc. But if i an bear through it ill then be medication free for the rest of my life. Ill prolly be hearing voices but at least i wont be on meds anymore so ill be able to feel better again. So thsts my game plan.

Either thst or im a switch meds until i find something that works for me without side effects. There are ppl on antipsychotics who dont feel zombified so im hoping to find something that wont zombify me.
 
Has anyone noticed changes in their hair from invega? Mine is horrible it feels like it has build up in it even straight after I've washed & dried it. I looks unkempt all the time no matter what I do even if I straighten or curl it. I constantly have an itchy scalp & I've lost alot of hair. It's ruined my appearance along with the weight gain. Did anyone have bad hair that got better again after invega?
 
Invega makes you drug addict for life...its destroys a % of dopamine receptors so you will do nothing but crave dopamine ; substances, foods, sex, porn, masturbation anything...and guess what you won't feel jack shit. Some time ago blew through 1 GRAM OF METH IN TWO DAYS.... it gave me the high i would barely get from smoking weed before invega (CBD cannabis that is). You will still be suicidal while being high and the imbalance between dopamine and other neurotransmitters causes behavioural issues

Guys on this forum who claimed to have their emotions back is just bullshit...they are so used to invega for months or years that they can't remember how they felt before invega. Its just false hope to think you will be everything you are pre invega. They all got some nerve problem like less sensitive sexual organs or dampened feeling of orgasm. You can't generate new dopamine receptors....

They dont give invega shit in russia obviously you never see russians on reddit or bluelight i hope russia completely crushes ukraine and the west. If civil war breaks out take out psychiatrist and other goverment shills

She is also complaining on reddit 1 or 2 years ago but still keeps taking invega by choice and complaining about weight. Probably mental issues caused by the injections. ...losing hope by not losing some weight...most people here lose hope because they are bedridden for one or two years....Psychosis is easy to fix by taking lithium, taurine and high dosages of cbd. Once you take anti psychotics you get withdrawals and rebound psychosis when you stop you will be customer for life. https://findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/news/5300-what-is-taurine-and-how-can-it-improve-psychosis?

When i got out of the hospital the 2nd time i kept hearing voices this was purely rebound psychosis due to haldol injections....I never heard voices before this i never had a history psychosis. the same voices told me to go to the hospital again. Last two days i also heard voices...funnily enough taking recreational drugs actually take away voices. At first i tried taking anti psychotics but it only made everything worse and caused voices.

Went to do hobbies and interests again like petting horses and gardening hanging out with two friends...literally felt zero emotions and zero enjoyment because of it.. i laughed about some jokes but its laughing without emotions same when i get really angry its not real anger its craving for revenge..i already accepted the fact emotions wont come back its just fucking false hope

I read countless hours through forums, youtube and mailing people ...people that had hair problems never improved hair quality
