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

[Nina2021]

Maybe in 1-2 years you recover. Don't count on 1 year recovery because of your injection count but who knows.

But he is doing really good, he can work, have a girlfriend. I don't think the count matters that much but how your brain takes it. And he sleep. I am much worse with my 6, tonight I was able to sleep 3 hours. I am getting a dependency for benzos in order to sleep 3 hours. I am really damaged

I'm sorry to hear that you're still having bad sleep Nina Can I ask...what happens if you only have 1 benzo? Benzo addiction is really bad, they are very difficult to quit.

I was prescribed 3 benzos and 3 other drugs. They just make me sleep 3 hours I am very desperate. I don't know what to do. Without those 3 probably I sleep 0. I need help but I don't know how to get it

I’m totally dependent on seroquel for sleep. I don’t recommend it for someone who has a good natural sleep pattern.

But if your sleep is so bad, have you tried seroquel? 25mg is all I need. It wears off after being up for 2 hours.

I really think they have condemn me to suicide. They don't have a clue on how to repair my sleep, they deny that is xeplion they just give me benzos. I would need serious help but I don't get it

Seroquel has also tardive dyskinesia as secondary effect. I just want a leave all this drugs and be like I was before crossing a psychiatrist. They have truly destroyed my life

I’ve been on it so long, I forgot what normal feels like. But like Nina said, I can sleep a lot. So I don’t think it’s as bad for me.

The hardest part is I’ve lost my ambition. I used to always be doing something. Now I just lay around when I have free time. And I never feel fully rested. Like im always bogged down.

It’s not horrible for me, but it is bad to not have ambition. And im a little flat. Plus the weight gain and I haven’t exercised so my back is starting to hurt.

I hope I get better in a year, but I worry I’ve been on it so long that I might never heal. Ugh, just have to wait for 12-24 months to see.

guys sorry for the complaints. on 9 and 14 July I turn 1 year from injections. the energies have not returned but I feel like I am in a different world than before. dumber..I can't read a book. difficulty concentrating tiredness. do you also have this problem? I use sleeping pills I get little sleep. you think that sleep has been ruined forever. the weight does not drop even if I eat little and swim (I gained about 30 pounds, 13 kg). my penis is smaller. I'm 1 year old. since I have been using welbutrin slightly better but I don't have life as before. I couldn't work. can you give me answers? who is guatito 100%. maybe i'm better for welbutrin not even because i'm recovering. the receptors do not make me feel the effect of coffee alcohol sleeping pills ... even if I drink 4 redbulls for example I do not feel anything. then there is total damage here

 

[Swiftie77456]

I would say 30% of my energy came back since being on the lowest dose. And 70% of my cognitive function. I can only hope that it gets better with time.

What meds are you on? Wellbutrin, anything else?

ragazzi scusate le lamentele il 9 e 14 luglio compio 1 anno dalle iniezioni. le energie non sono tornate ma mi sento come se fossi in un mondo diverso da prima. più stupido..non riesco a leggere un libro. difficoltà a concentrare la stanchezza. anche tu hai questo problema? Uso i sonniferi, dormo poco. pensi che il sonno sia stato rovinato per sempre. il peso non scende anche se mangio poco e nuoto (ho preso circa 30 libbre, 13 kg). il mio pene è più piccolo. Ho 1 anno. da quando ho usato welbutrin leggermente meglio ma non ho la vita come prima. Non potevo lavorare. puoi darmi risposte? chi è guatito al 100%. forse sto meglio per welbutrin nemmeno perché mi sto riprendendo. i recettori non mi fanno sentire l'effetto dei sonniferi alcolici al caffè... anche se bevo 4 redbull ad esempio non sento niente.

What would help be like, for you? A good psychiatrist who actually listens? Different medications that actually make you sleep? What else?

I was actually going to ask for you to say something today, I was getting worried about you. I'm glad to see you post, but not good to hear that you're not feeling any better. I really hope you improve.

 

[Swiftie77456]

I can drink three monsters and not feel it at all. And take vyvsnse and hardly even notice it. Vyvanse is about what coffee used to be. My dopamine is definitely ruined for now. No wonder I never feel like fully awake. My dopamine is just crushed.

How often do you take vyvanse and/or drink lots of caffeine (say, more than 1 large energy drink)? Would it be better to take a break from all that, to give your receptors a good rest? I don't know the exact science behind it all but my way of thinking is that it might give the receptors more time to heal?

Definitely a psychiatrist that acknowledges that I don't sleep because of xeplion and thinks what to do with that. That I lack dopamine etc... Not one that says there is no connection and gives me benzos. I'm just going to get worse. I also have a huge cognitive impairment.

Yes that would be good. I want that for you as well. How can you get a better psychiatrist?

There is no way they are all fan of xeplion.

I can not even convince my family who has seen I was much better with 2 than with 6 injections. For them too xeplion can't have a flaw it has to be my psychosis

Peoples minds are made up that these meds are good. It’s a part of their belief system that doctors and scientists have developed these helpful medications. You cannot convince anyone that the meds are bad. They’re dug in.

I am a very bad case. I stopped sleeping in October, since then I am taking more and more pills and sleeping less and less. Last night I slept 2h. Without the benzos I will probably sleep zero. I don't know how bad it would be. But I lost my natural sleep in October 21, since then I get 0 sleepyness. They have truly push me to suicide with this brain damage
