Have you tried to find the correct pill dosage ? maybe you can try with 5mg abilfy and see if you still hear voice. look also secondeary effect. If you still earing voices, than try 10 mg etc...

I have to say that my girlfriend feel way better with abilify pills. She doesn't speak alone anymore and she doesn't hear voices. secondary effects looks tolerable at this moment.

But I am very afraid about injections. These injections looks really to block dopamine far more than pills. My gl had a injection of abilify 3 days ago, I am sure the poison has not yet really move into action, it can take a few weeks imo (it was my case). THe next injection of my gl is 400 mg abilify witch is a high dose apparently.

I have to pray God for a miracle.

And considering a single injection of invega (and surely abilify also) can block our dopapine during 6-12 months, why do we have to take these fuking injections every months ???

I also know these injections are super expensive, like 600 € in comparaison to a 28 pills tablet. witch cost around 20 €

Ive taken abilify before. It gave me the symptoms my current i jection gives me. Lack of motivation. Trouble concentrating. Lack of motivation etc. Im thinking of trying seroquel. If serowuel dosnt work then im a try rexulti. If rexulti dosnt work i think ill try latuda as someone on this forum claims to be normal on it. If all that dosnt work ill try ulotaront. Thats a new medication coming out in 2 years which dosnt antagonize dopamine receptors. Its supposed to be the best drug and hopefully not cause negative symptoms and not cause cognitive decline. Having schizophrenia sucks. Unlike you im not misdiagnosed im really schizophrenic. Whenever im off meds i last a while and feel great but i end up gearing voices and then i end up in a mental hospital my alternative plan is to move from my parents place and then live and work with the debilitating side effects and just pull through for a year. Then when im recovered im home free and will feel great agsin and be med free. Ill be hearing voices but atleast ill be back to my oldself. I think i can live and manage with that. Id rather be hearing voices then be on these meds which make you feel like shit. This is all along way to go though. Anothet 3 and a half years before im close to moving out. So id rather find a right medication if i have to be on medications for now as opposed to staying on the same thing which just makes me feel like shit.
 
Hello everyone, I'm sorry I've been away bluelight is blocked in my country. I just wanted to let you know that if you're on the fence about whether invega might actually be worth it I highly suggest checking out my Anti-Psychiatry speech. I've returned and will continue to speak about the pain you guys are going through!

Guys,

My court order has officially ended but my psychiatrist wants me to keep coming and get Invega shots once a month. I have to talk to her on the phone in a little bit more than 2 weeks. What should I say to her on the phone? Do I just ghost them or how do I explain I don’t want to do this medication anymore?

Write a letter saying you're fine without meds and you are planning to go to a private therapist..... go on vacation for a long time...budget camping or something
They will try to manipulate into getting more shots.

Personally i wouldn't talk to them they can always try and get a court order. They can lie shit up to make you look like you are unstable and need meds.
 
anybody recover fully from this medication, if so what intel can you provide, I will be happy to listen as I am having trouble with the ongoing side effects from my stand point.

Hi. I wasnt on invega but i was on risperiodone abilify and flupenexiol and i recovered from all 3 of these. It took me around a year to recover from all of the. So yeah you should recover from invega after a year. Other have too. Risperidone is the active metabolite of invega so there the same thing so i kind of have been o invega. It sucks lol

Hi Monty sorry if you've already mentioned this but how many injections of invega have you had? Long story short you WILL recover but it's just a matter of time, according to how much you've had.

You'll have to fight him, it took me telling the doctor I was gonna shoot myself if he didn't take me off. I have terrible sexual side effects and that's about it. I feel like I can't feel my chakras anymore though. I used to meditate and feel my chakras

How long are you off?
 
AlphaMethylPhenyl said:
^Agreed wholeheartedly with my fellow mod. I have recovered! Takes time and effort, no doubt.

It's actually Invega that's the main metabolite of Risperdal.

Exercise and meditation did wonders for me in recovering.

How long did it take for you to recover and how many injections did you get?
 
AlphaMethylPhenyl said:
They said I have a psychotic disorder, perhaps schizophrenia. But now I feel like I'm just bipolar tbh...We will see what the doc says here ina few days.

Did you recover sexually and how long did it take?

I'm a virgin and never experienced love in sex before. I don't want to lose my life before it started. Please can someone tell me if they recovered their sexlife? I contemplate suicide every day now

I had low sperm count on these meds. It goes away faster then the lack of motivation and lack of concentration
