I know you are smart, so why do you keep picking and choosing the things I say that you disagree with while throwing out the other things I say that make sense? Like when I said everyone gets different side effects. Abilify may have spiked your heart rate but mine didn't. Hence the "different side effects for different people" statement.
Once again, I have posted how I've also been screwed by psychiatry. I'm sorry you got shot with Invega when you weren't even psychotic. I have been psychotic and meds in pill form did help me at least in the short term. Except for the Risperidone injections, which gave me the same effects you guys are getting from Invega. Risperidone gave me anhedonia, blunted emotions, brain fog, lack of energy, my dick didn't work for months, etc etc etc. I also feel like ALL long acting injectables are poison, not just Risperidone and Invega. So please, stop getting hung up on being so nit-picky on things you disagree with unless you are also going to acknowledge the truth and experience I have to offer.
Like I keep saying, I have been poisoned by Risperidone. It may not have been as extreme as Invega but it was enough that I still know what the side effects are like. And it took me over a year to recover. I have never said Invega wasn't poison and I have also stated that no one should be given these injections. I've never said psychiatry was great and I've never said I had a good time in any psych hospital. Man, some of y'all are treating my posts like a buffet. Only taking the things you disagree with and tossing out everything else that shows you I've been there and feel for you.
And in all my years on this earth, one thing I've learned is you must give respect before you can get respect. I've been nothing but respectful in this thread. I know my words have previously seemed abrasive but it truly came from a place of caring and empathy. Come on, man. I know Invega has put you through hell but you can still comprehend what I write.
Believe it or not, I'm on your team. Just yesterday I posted about a doctor/author who advocates against anti-psychotics and named her and referred the poster to her books on Amazon. How come I got no praise from you for that? Please stop taking things so personally just because I mention anything about psychiatry you don't agree with. This is a public forum and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, including me and including you.
