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

[Gdvffh]

For me it's definitely because of the meds, never was so dumbed down before this, I got diagnosed as bipolar

Were you experiencing psychosis?

Check this out, it talks about dopamine and how to get optimal amounts through diet.

That’s GR8 ~ but unfortunately it doesn’t stop antipsychotics from blocking dopamine…

When you come off these antipsychotics you want to try everything you can to improve your body and mind. Just my opinion.

Thanks. This thread really helped me out as well and i am thankful I found it.

It's good to have hope; thanks man )))

For your recovery story

 

[t_xeplionhell]

Basically 100%. But i only had two shots. it took a year to recover, a full year. Lots of , exercise, supplements, cold weather, to do it.

I had 2 shots and 1 month of risperdal oral. I can't exercise except walking, I supplement many stuff every day: omega 3, vitamin d, chlorela, zync, magnesium 550mg, calcium 1g, NAC, etc. I'm not recovered at 13 months off. What can you suggest.

 

[InvegaIsdeath]

At what month did you start exercising anyway? I'm 3.5 months off 2 shots and I'm starting to include some short jogging to my walks but I'm nowhere close to being able to lift or do serious running yet

I didnt start lifting weights till about 7 months. I walked a lot leading up to that point.

Edit: the first three months I was to messed up to do any exercise but light walking. Long walks didn't happen till after 3 months.

 

[InvegaIsdeath]

That is very nice to hear. Mind sharing the supplements you took?

Thanks

I drank lots of tea (4-12 teabags daily, first 3 months)
Energy drinks
Coffee
Saint John's Wort(first 6 months)
Magnolia bark
Tart cherry extract
NAC
multi vitamin
AREDS(eye multi vitamin with lutein)

 

[InvegaIsdeath]

did you feel the injection coming out of your brain 1 month after the last one? that's what happened and to Phuckinvega too

No. It was a slow and agonizing process.

 

[LITTLEbroJordan]

Will by eyebrow and hair go back to normal it’s sad that the appearance and weight is the only thing making me suicidal I can deal with akathsia and anhedonia

Have you guys considered a dopamine detox? Could help, but I don't know much about it.

Nalt, 5htp, green tea extract. Maybe that'll help, I don't know. Everyone is different.

When you recovered did you feel like the receptors were irreversible blocked ?

8 months off and nothing to tell. I am taking to a doctor in the lab but no real answer yet. To destroy my sleeping cycle was very bad. I am very scared of the consequences of it. (stroke, heart attack?) I hate people who come with meditation suggestion, remind me how much better I was with 2 injections.
So still dopamine 0, sleep 0.

How about trying st johns wort? Thats supposed to increase dopamine.

That must work out to be quite expensive? Are you finding that it's helping at all?

What do the people at the lab have to say?

It should help at least in long term.

Hello- I’m new here. I’m 23m and have bipolar disorder. I was put on Invega at a mental hospital last December, and the side effects are killing me. I’ve got the whole package, anhedonia, akathisia, extreme suicidal ideation, cognitive issues that make it hard for me to even talk, it’s really bad.

I’m court ordered to go to my psychiatrist, but I’m telling her I’m refusing the shot. Not sure how that’s gonna go, but I’ve got my grandmother going to my appointment with me to help explain why I’m better off without it.

So so far I’m 1 month since my last shot, hoping things get better. I won’t let them inject me again.
