are you recovered? how many doses have you had?This is so true Invega does cause parkinsonism and it’s definitely 100% drug induced it’s so bad. I remember not been able to stand up in the shower for at least 1 year well. 100% I agree I take Ritalin (50mg) now for my adhd. Funny enough I seen a new psychiatrist last year because I wented to see if adhd was playing a role in my recovery from invega and I told the psychiatrist about my story of been on invega and he was shocked and said I went to hell and back and that I should of never been put on antipsychotics in the first place funny that hey! I was off invega years and years with little to no improvement and stimulates is what improved me a fair bit after having no improvements for so long. The worse part I remember is that early on in the withdrawal of invega is the boredom and the feeling Suicidal all the time for ages and ages but it did go after maybe 3 or 4 months it’s insane this drug is effecting me nearly 5 years on this next month (May) will I fully recover doubtful in my eyes but you never know.

Mostly recovered but I don’t think I’ll fully recovered to the state before the invega but I’m hopeful but I have improved little bit each year that goes on so maybe in the end I’ll recover who knows at this stage it’s been nearly 5 years and I’m not back to pre invega but who knows what is years and years away. I think it was the loading doses and 4 doses after that if I remember don’t remember 100% I’m just glad most of the worse stuff is behind me like the deep depression and boredom and stuff like that is gone. Invega kinda reminds me of people stiffening long term effect of Covid-19 fatigue and brain fog and stuff like that the body does some funny things but it does surprises you sometimes.
Wow your still suffering 5 years later thats crazy and scary. Ive personally recovered 3 times so far. I recovered from risperidone. Then i recovered from abilify. Then i recovered from flupenexiol. Each recovery took me around a year. But i only got 1 abilify injection and i took risperidone for like 3 months. Then flupenexiol i took 2 injections of it.Mostly recovered but I don’t think I’ll fully recovered to the state before the invega but I’m hopeful but I have improved little bit each year that goes on so maybe in the end I’ll recover who knows at this stage it’s been nearly 5 years and I’m not back to pre invega but who knows what is years and years away.

Im currently back on flupenexiol and ive been tsking it for a year now. Now im a switch to seroquel on april 19th. Ive got off antipsychotics and everytime i get off i get into psychosis. I got put on a community treatment order which has expired now. Now im taking as i xont want to get in psychosis again. End up in mental hospital again and end upvon community treatment order again. My plan for when i get put on seroquel is to cut the pill in 4 and take a quarter a day. Im hope i can return to my old self by doing that and not get psychosis.
it's good if you have passed the worst. I am 3 months off and I only think about suicide every dayMostly recovered but I don’t think I’ll fully recovered to the state before the invega but I’m hopeful but I have improved little bit each year that goes on so maybe in the end I’ll recover who knows at this stage it’s been nearly 5 years and I’m not back to pre invega but who knows what is years and years away.

I guess people react differently, similarly to invega. It mostly depend about you being schizizophrenic/bi polar or not and also depend about the intensity of you schizophrenic symptoms. ( I mean positive or negative symptoms).
From what I have seen, neuroleptics can work marvellous on people who get positive symptoms of schizophrenia ( especialy audio/visuel hallucinations) . Even in this case, effects will also depend about the dosage of your neuroleptic coz a too much high dosage can have terrible secondary effect.
My gl have abilify for 2 months ( she get his second 400mg injection one week ago ) and she is not anehedonic so far. (but I pray God that she will be not) The only drawback she have so far is a bit of constipation .
I have encountered quite many people coming happily at the psychiatrist hospital and begging for an abilify injection.
An another hand, If you have been misdiagnosed or if you have mostly negative symptoms of schyzophernia/bipolarity ( like depression, sense of victimization), abilify or invega will generally destroy you .
As I said, psychiatrits do not take into account this story about positive and negative symptoms and they will give medication whatever symptoms you have. Also, psychiatrists can often very easily and rapidly diagnose you as schizophrenic or bi polar (or both) even if you are not .
Did you get insomnia? I forgot how to sleep. I think my dopamine circuit is truly damagedMostly recovered but I don’t think I’ll fully recovered to the state before the invega but I’m hopeful but I have improved little bit each year that goes on so maybe in the end I’ll recover who knows at this stage it’s been nearly 5 years and I’m not back to pre invega but who knows what is years and years away.

Any opinion about https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modafinil??
Have you guys heard about the new medi ationa coming out. Ulotaront a mnd karxt. We got 3 new medications coming out and none of them antagonize dopamine receptors. This might be near the end of the suffering. As in the future its possible ppl wont be receiving invega sustenna injections and instead be receiving new medications which dont cause the negative side effects the current medications do. Im looking forward to the future. I have hope in these new medications and im hoping it will make people normal while also removing psychosis from people. Only time will tell but it seems like it should be good since it dosnt antagonize receptors.
Modafinil is a decent medication. It is not really something abusable, but people need sleep so it's S-IV. I think that it can help people out. The good thing is that it's not amphetamine or Ritalin.
Some doctors may venture to offer this if their patient is truly committed to other realms of bettering themselves. Like diet, exercise and so on. I find meditation to really help me.
I can't really say that modafinil is a good idea, though. I'd almost say that, with the proper diet, MAOIs are more medicinal. But what do I know, lol. Modafinil may not be a bad suggestion.

I am scared that xeplion has truly destroyed my dopamine receptors. I wonder if this medicine could help or if anything could help. I can't sleep among a huge anhedonia (I can't listen to music or watch any movies, TV, etc)
And for people who are already truly damaged by invenga. Is there anything?

Yep and I still have sleeping problems still to this date but it’s much better then before. I definitely think invega changes dopamine and central nervous system and serotonin for sure.

Saw this post and just wanted to comment some hope. I was on the invega pill for 2.5 years. I stopped it in 2018 and by 2020 I was back to having normal pleasure responses. I was also 18 when I started so my age probably played a role
Does you girlfriend have sexual dysfunction? Sorry to ask but I want to know if it affects her because it might affect me
He had 7 high doses bro.
