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

It's going pretty well. My therapist shares my view on medication, how it's just something to get somebody out of a crisis and that we should cope with coping skills instead of meds. Pretty nice to finally talk to somebody like that in the mental health field. He's a pretty real and upfront guy too. Looking forward towards the future results with him. It's a part of my commitment to work with a therapist. Hopefully if I learn anything from it I'll be able to get off of commitment and medication and just handle it the way I want to.
With that view on medication I would never have gotten invenga.

Yeah invega is an all around bad drug. Even my psychiatrist doesn't like it lol. she gave it to me because nothing else was working. She switched me back to something I can atleast tolerate.

You are lucky with your psychiatrist. I told mine at 3 shots I couldn't tolerate it anymore and she gave me more.

Why didnt you just not take the medication. Are you forced to take injections?
Psychiatrist never listen to me. They just want to put me on more and more medications. Talking to a psychiatrist feels like talking to a wall. Im currently supposed to take seroquel pills but i switched them for zinc vitamins. Im a bit worried about what to do when i atart hearing voices again. I want to experiment by taking meds for a little while where my psychosis goes away and then stop taking it. Hopefully that will work.

You said nothing here.
Hehehehe sorry that made me giggle 😊 The English language is really funny sometimes huh. "There is something to say about x y z..." and then, you're right, he didn't really say anything 😄 But it was just a figure of speech. Man learning English would be so confusing.

That is SO good man!! Sounds like you really hit the jackpot with your therapist! Seems to be quite rare these days. What is your diagnosis if you don't mind me asking?
 
since they gave me that shit of injections I have pain in my legs and calves and I walk badly. I have lost all bodybuilding muscles and have no interest in anything. I am a larva and I do not sleep. it's been over 10 months and I'm getting worse. is this due to the blocking of dopamine and serotonin? why didn't setoquel do that? and why do they give it to subjects without psychosis? even if it still hurts even those who have psychosis from how I see
 
EDIT: Trigger warning:

Only thing I can think of for some of the above comments is taken mostly from the Einstein Factor.

Win Wenger and friends apparently found out that the right brain is more capable of understanding than its brother the left. His efforts pointed in the direction of the left brain being more of a thinking instrument than one of profession, altruism, understanding, knowledge and things like that. The idea, from his book, was to take information from the left brain and - using a series of techniques - short circuit information on the left hemisphere in order to supplant it on the right hemisphere.

In metaphysics and such, the left hemisphere is also associated with the shadow (see Carl Jung's works for more information) and shadow work. The shadow is also kind of like that part of the human animus that is rejectable and dark, and in our inability to relate and accept parts of our shadow -through growing up and experiencing trauma and hardships- the shadow gets altogether rejected and essentially thrown out.

I'm also recently coming across information that seems to suggest that rejecting the shadow aspects of the psyche has a strong impact on mental wellness; specifically memory health (i.e. things like Huntington's Chorea [caused by invega] and Dementia). Deductive reasoning would have me believe that since Win Wenger's Einstein Factor techniques are specifically designed to help improve memory that there is some clue as to what might cause atrophy in the left hemisphere.

For anyone suffering cognitively on invega, I would highly recommend keeping your mind up to par by practicing image streaming. I know that while on invega sustenna it was very difficult for me to imagine anything at all. My recurring example was the inability to create the image of a paper clip inside my own mind. Verily, it was difficult at first, but I eventually accepted it for what it was and gleaned over images in the mind rather than trying to hold them in place greedily.

In conclusion, I'm actually somewhat surprised to learn that Invega has that capability.

If anyone wants to PM me for more information on image streaming and more advanced mental techniques to improve focus, I'm available sometimes.

Can I just stop taking the injection @50ML ~ or do I need to taper off the avoid severe withdrawal symptoms…when do I get to ‘feel’ again based on ppl’s experiences & does it get better with lower doses?!

My family forced me to take them. I should have quit. I never heard voices and I don't think I will have psychosis again.
 
I just meant that the testimony of others matters in taking into account how well a medication works. If you're on a medication, and others think that it its working for you even if you don't see it doing so, then that is good to take into account. Make sense?
Doesn't matter if somebody sees that it works but for person who takes it is unbearable, then other person opinion is not to be taken into account.

I guess so. He's a really cool guy. Hopefully others can find the right therapist for them.
And my counselor and I think it's schizoaffective bipolar disorder.

Because I am stupid. My family was threatening me on calling 112 which apparently would just have been an embarrassing situation. They are like this they thought a prescription by a psiquiatrist must be followed. They destroyed my life and they think they did good. I knew nothing about invenga
. I was just feeling very bad but I expected to get reverted when stopping. That's what the doctor said. Which was another lie. They began lying saying I would get used to it. The worse is that now I have to be lying down all day and they think it might be psychosis. I have a terrible family. I am very suicidal
 
I think that it absolutely matters. Let's agree to disagree perhaps.
If effect for that person is unbearable then other opinions are worthless and person must not suffer like that because it's unhuman thing to allow. Another alternative must be found for replace.

I think that some researcher should take 1000 normal random persons to test out invega sustenna for 4 months, so it can finaly get removed from market.
 
Honestly, if I were you, I would run away. They're killing you.
Please stop posting inflammatory, unhelpful comments. Every post you've made since joining has had some kind of unsavoury message in it and that's not what this thread is about. We are here to help and support each other and comments like this are not helpful or supportive. Consider this a soft warning before we start issuing official warnings for continued behaviour of this sort.
 
Qualcuno è ingrassato molto (tipo 15 kg) ed è riuscito a dimagrire o questa schifezza ha cambiato completamente il metabolismo?

But they should get only 2 shots and then be observerd for 4months very precisely. + older than 25 and younger than 20 should not be allowed to get in research. Small price to pay from those people but it would save millions of other people in next incoming years. Don't you think so @n3ophy7e.

Anything with similar chemical structure would instantly get forbidden. Invega is strongest antagonist, even stronger than risperdal.
