I can’t bare to live like this anymore.
I’ve been drinking a lot the past week because I can’t live with the anhedonia and lack of emotions.
Does anyone know how alcohol interacts with Invega?
I’m grateful to have found this forum because I can communicate with people going through the same experience.
This drug never should have been FDA approved and they literally pawn it off on people because it has a 1 month, 3 month, and now 6 month duration injection so that psychiatrists can see more patients and make more money.
The system is entirely sick and makes me so angry.
I’ve been talking to 3 people from this thread on Facebook and apparently there are way way better class of drugs coming out in 2-3 years that don’t block dopamine receptors as much and don’t cause as many side effects.
If any of you want to talk to someone about this private message me.
I want to have deep conversations with as many people while I go through this.
My court order is ending and I literally want to yell

how long did it take for you to heal? did you take any medication during withdrawal?
 
Today I have been to the psychiatric hospital and I have been astonished to meet one woman and one man come happily to the hospital to get their injection of abilify..
I didn't find a way to speak to the man but he was looking very normal , energetic and balanced.... O_o I was almost seduced by his appearance in a way. (not in a sexual way..)

I managed to speak with the girl in the park, trying even more or less to seduce her. SHe told me she have monthly injection of abiliy at 400mg. She is very happy with it. she doesn't look fat, and she is quite attractive and have smart talking. O_OoOOO
I asked her how is her sleep. She told be " I need a bit of time to fall asleep but overall I sleep good". She told me also she take medication for 10 years. O_oo_O

I really don't understantd how these neuroleptics works sometimes. Looks like some people are immune to it or only get the positive of it while some other get only the bad effect.

not my intention here to release the culpability/incompetence/unconsciousness of psychiatrists but all that is in some way mistery and gambling game.

This is a really good post.
Thank you for sharing that.
 
Hey guys, I want to know if any of you either during Invega use or after Invega use experienced fear/paranoia? This happens to me sometimes still and I’m almost 14 months off the shot. I tested negative for schizophrenia. I have insight into when these paranoid thoughts/attacks occur and realize what’s happening and that it’s not normal. I also am prescribed dexedrine so I’m trying to find the cause or if it’s a combination of Invega withdrawal and possibly a side effect of the dexedrine.
Thanks

what dose did you get?

around 6 shot. As I said earlier and from whait I have seen on this forum, only one shot can be enough to make you miserable during 6-12 months.

As for me, I had 5-6 shots and I have recovered quite fast -6-7 months). Some people get only one shot and need 8-10 month to recover.

do people not recover from invega, and if so, is it because they are taking medication during withdrawal??

When I was on Invega I would get scared of driving in a car (sitting in the back seat) going snowboarding and riding a bike. Things that aren’t usually scary to people

I'm saving up to get liposuction. I never thought in my life I'd have to get liposuction I used to be really slim & fit. But I can't stand having a double chin anymore & can't stand waiting for the weight to come off. I'm wondering if invega stores in the fat cells & I get alot of them removed would that remove some of the invega or does it store elsewhere aswell?

6 shot/6 months to recover? I am pessimist

Got my period for the second consecutive month in a row. So I guess I can say after 113 days being off Invega Sustenna I got my period back, and it looks like it’s on track now. Now if only I can get my weight down. If it’s not my prolactin levels then it must be a slowed metabolism from the medication. I get my blood tested on April 5th to check all my levels again.

How many shots did you take? And what dose?
 
Hopefuldopeful said:
Yes Abilify and lithium. I can assume you all of the major issues are caused by Invega!

I was on the same shit. I was on a monster dose of lithium and Abilify Maintena. I got off of the lithium successfully and next month is my last shot of Abilify Maintena. Were you on the Abilify Maintena shot or
