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

Status
Not open for further replies.
I'm on month 4 and doing a bit better but still have a lot of issues. Still struggling with extreme fatigue at times and my body feels very heavy, especially after waking up. I also get random head pressure, but it seems like it occurs to a higher degree after overeating. It seems as if the dopamine surge from food is struggling to get into the receptors in my brain, since they are still deformed... but maybe not as much as before. I'm going to have to stop overeating to avoid this head pressure. I thought it had subsided but it's still occurring. I also thought my sexual function had improved slightly. but not really. I'm going to have to get to month 5 or 6 to probably get some real improvement.
 
I've been off of the injections for 2 months now. I've been using various substances but may have to get clean for the most part because the dude I was getting it from turned out to be shady as fuck it looks like. I'll probably just do alcohol and weed, and kratom or something, we'll see what happens, should be starting yet another job tomorrow too. I guess I got the 'jumpstart' that I was looking for with the stuff. I might go to a boxing gym a few time too we'll see, I've been shadowboxing at home and don't think I'm getting too bad, and I think that people underestimate how much all of that kind of stuff can help you.

I hope I can do weed too but I have lost my hope that it will work again. I hope there will be released an antidote against Xeplion in the future

I don't even like weed that much but keep doing it, makes things a bit different I guess. I hope to be at least like 50% better than I am now in the next 3 to 5 years, and I'm already pretty functional too. Maybe they'll create some new drug that causes neurogenesis or something.

I used to be a stoner and psychiatry took that away from me with Xeplion injections. How are your weed high? Some users here say weed worked for them with Invega injections. I am just hoping this world ends soon and we continue in a new realm where psychiatry does not exist
 
Lol my mom keeps asking me.every few days if im taking the medications. I keep saying i do, i feel more energetic and stuff since im off of it and im not hearing voices. Its kind of annoying.i cant just tell them im not taking them but i plan to take them for short while when i get psychosis again. But i know if i do they will just force me on injections again or something.

So yeah little frustrating. Anyways so as said.b4 im not fully recovered but im not like bitching and.thinking about the meds all the time anymore. Im just trying to keep busy and have goals for myself. I plan to be off the meds until i get psychosis then take until goes away and hopefully that will workout well. I always get kinda nervous after my mom ask me about if im taking meds. Like i get scared about one day getting forced om injections or a community treatment order again, that will suck.

I know some people on these meds that just follow doctors orders and take them, they like dont work and are on disability and dont do much with there life.

Im currently just trying to lose my gut and stuff like that. I walk an hour and 45 mins.a day while playing pokemon go and do other things to keep me busy.

Being on the injectoons for a year i was just spending all day on my laptop, im kind of.sick of just doing that now which is why im trying to do things.

Also im avoiding weed and alcohol, since im worried it will result in psychosis coming back faster.

Do you have bi polar, schizophrenia? I wouldn’t play around with psychosis…each time you get psychosis it’s harder to get rid of. Why don’t you just get 10mgs of abilify and take it and take it daily? Abilify isn’t that bad and 10mgs doesn’t really make you gain any weight. You should be fine. If that antipsychotic work for you as some antipsychotics don’t work for some people.
 
Hey guys! Update, I still have really bad Anhedonia & akithisia, cognitive dulling (I heard that could be from lithium too, which I take) & overall feel very dysphoric & have absolutely no energy.

It’s hell, but I’m much less suicidal than 2 months ago, only crosses my mind 2-3 times a day (& I immediately dismiss them) compared to before where it was constantly on my mind, probably 50+ times a day.

I also just smoked 2 bowls of weed, & I definitely feel high, which is a first! It’s not like the old high, but it feels kinda nice!

I feel like I should be happy that I’m not nearly as suicidal & that weed just worked, but I still have this nagging feeling that it’s never going to get better. I know I’m only 3 months 26 days off, so maybe I should have some hope of recovery, but I dunno. Just venting I guess.

You kind of have a point as it's probably drug use that got many of them put on Invega in the first place. And according to lots on here they can't feel any of the other drugs anyway.

Bit Invega isn't recreational and thats what syntax means. It's an anti psychotic and people don't take it to get high. So showing what spiders do on RECREATIONAL drugs is what she meant. It's a cute diagram though but syntax is right..it's not really relevant to Invega.

What spiders or monkeys or mice do on drugs that were designed to get people high is interesting though but this thread goes off topic A LOT.

I don’t do drugs, smoke, or drink alcohol and I’m suffering needlessly. Please do us all a favor and stay far from mental health work. We should be getting compensated a lot of money, and not be suggested that we deserve this shit.

Good for you pal. Glad you don't do drugs.

Never said you deserved anything. Certainly not to suffer. Would never wish that on anybody.

Tread carefully. Getting pissy with me usually doesn't end well.
 
Just want to thank @UnluckyXeplion and @EsseWasGreat and @Kaatrina for their valuable posts.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think I’m having dopamine surges from overeating now. I am just having random head pressure and random headaches which most likely have to do with releases of the drug. I think Katrina is right that at months 3,4, and 5 there are waves of the poison that hit you, so I am most likely experiencing that.

This could be my last post here, I may get banned or I may just stop posting anyway. Thank you to the users who provided valuable information that made me get through the initial stages. Best of luck to you all in your recovery, and do your best to stay away from wards, so you won’t get injected with poisons against your will.
 
You can’t be a good athlete once you get injected by Invega Sustenna, it’s impossible. It’s so friggen sad. Everything’s slow.
