How come some users on Invega are able to get stoned while I cannot?
Weed seems like an obsession too you it’s not healthy to only care about getting high It’s probably an addiction for you. I’d suggest getting sober or atleast taking a break I was also addicted to weed before and quitting comes with many benefits.
 
Update: I’m 5 months & 10 days off Invega. I still physically feel very bad, I have some akathisia, and still feel very dysphoric & bad all around. But I’ve noticed I’m being more social (just with my family & on discord) and I feel like I can think a little more clearly. I’m able to power through chores and stuff easier. The thing is though, I’ve been super worried that I’m going manic again. (I am on lithium but I’ve heard it can still happen)

I haven’t had any strange delusions, and I’m not talking fast or anything, but I just feel weird, and I keep obsessing over whether I’m going manic or not.

I think it’s possible that I just feel different (recovering) and it’s just extreme anxiety making me scared, I noticed it’s much worse when I have caffeine or thc, so I cut thc out, and I’m working on the caffeine, I still have an energy drink every morning at the moment though.
 
I understand that you want to get high oldtiden but the other members in this thread are right. You ask " When can I get high on weed " every single day. Over and over. Always the same question.

Do you even realize you are doing this ?
I just want some answers but was told to ask a doctor by another member.

I actually like being sober. You dream every night. When I was a stoner I rarely had dreams.

Hell yeah man, definitely don’t wanna end up back there. I have some antipsychotics saved up in case it does happen. Still scary though, because I worry about going into psychosis & not wanting to take them, but my whole family knows to give them to me if I do go manic. Btw it’s great u haven’t had any issues in 2 years!

Yeah thats the worst case scenario...u gotta create a thinking pattern for taking the a.p. when you need...instead of rejecting...i did that but they did not insist me to taking the drugs anyways all the time they call the ambulance while i i was in the middle of psychosis..
Really bad dude..
 
Anyone struggling with insomnia after multiple injections?
I was sleeping fine after just the first 2 injections, but after receiving a total of 6 injections in 3 years, I struggle to sleep. And it gets worse the longer I’m off
 
5 months off as of today. Entering month 6. Maybe doing a bit better, but I still have head pressure and my body feels heavy at times and I feel fatigued. I have a new symptom I am having and that's occasional lower back pain. Sexual functions are still almost close to dead, very little sex drive, and it seems like forcing myself to masturbate causes more problems so I don't do it. I think in 3 months I'll be in a better position, so I need more time. I tried Vicodin the other day and it seemed helpful, but it could have been placebo. Oh yeah, I still struggle with motivation and I take a shower like once a week. I am mostly in bed doing nothing and just passing the time. I don't have severe anhedonia, but I could still say I suffer from mild anhedonia. My main concerns are sex drive, fatigue, head pressure, and reoccurring insomnia.

I'm sleeping a little better though, but I'm worried I can easily rollback to my previous state and get worse. It seems like masturbating ruins my brain and makes me have insomnia again so I try to do it as little as possible and because it's not pleasurable anyway. So I'm trying not to overeat and trying not to masturbate so I don't get dopamine surges. I'm better off just taking it easy.

I'm praying that from here on I get progressively better.

I'm almost 5 months off and its barely getting better with my sexual dysfunction.
At that rate it will probably take me years, if at all to recover sexually from this poison.
So frustrating, it is unbelievable the kind of damage that was done to us.
We probably need like 5-7 more months of recovery. I don't see my sex drive going back normal any time soon, which really sucks and makes things boring. Cumming used to be really fun and I looked forward to releasing like 4 times a week. Now it's like once every 3 weeks and I don't even want to do it because it makes me exhausted a few days later. One thing I noticed is that girls who got injected with this poison don't talk about the sexual side effects much, if you've noticed they're more concerned in weight and appearance because sex is much less important for women.

If your orgasms don't feel as pleasurable or feel muted smoking weed won't work either. Your dopamine and dopamine receptors are messed up, so it's pointless to seek pleasurable activities.
 
Too much censorship on these forums. My posts are gone.
Maybe if you would follow the guidance of the numerous mods that have tried to help you they wouldn't get deleted. Back for less than a few hours and you still can't seem to stay within the guidelines of this thread and this sub forum.

How many times have we tried to explain that bashing the Psychiatric Profession and saying psychosis is all a myth and doesn't exist for people is just not true. There are people suffering psychosis and apparently that is why Invega was invented. You can hate the drug all you want and even say you hate the drug but posting things that aren't true are going to be deleted.

Not really. If you are an apparent danger to people around you doctors will just label you as having psychosis automatically, so in a sense, it’s just a way of introducing a diagnosis onto someone who is potentially violent. Lot of the times it’s simply euphoria which is a natural emotion that people as experience.

I didn’t violate any of the guidelines by the way. I am just sharing my experiences and suffering to help future sufferers of this poison. Invega is extremely potent and dangerous, and you make it seem like you are not only pro psychiatry, but pro invega as well. This poison is bringing in a lot of traffic to your site for a reason.

I'm not pro anything. Quite frankly I feel sorry for all the members in this thread. I wish that they never had whatever happened in their life happen so that they wouldn't have had to get the shot in the first place. And even if people on here are pro Psychiatry........they are entitled to their opinion just like you are.

Feelings of euphoria aren't psychosis. Dr.s can tell the difference believe me.

And yeah, ya did violate it masamune. We have told you over and over that posting that you hate the drug is fine. Posting that you want to recover is fine. Posting about the side effects is fine. Ya just can't be posting stuff that isn't true. Psychosis is real for many and it isn't fun nor is it euphoric. And yeah, if people are a danger to themselves or others they are going to get a diagnosis of something. I mean there is obviously something going on with them that needs to be fixed. Would you prefer if the medical profession just told them to get lost and let them harm themselves.....or others ?

You are pro invega and you’re dancing around words. Lot of people who experience “psychosis” get treated without invega you know. I’ve said this before but hospitals shouldn’t have a hold on someone’s life for a year, so whatever is happening to us is an unacknowledged crime. They get away with it because they are the ones with the power, not me.
 
^ I hate to burst your bubble but I am not pro Invega. Could care less about the drug . The only reason I know anything about it is I am tasked to mod this sub forum.

I can't help it that someone found you in some kind of mental distress and shot you up with it. That's on you and the Dr. that did it.

I do know one thing for certain. There is no question that some of the people in this world absolutely need to be medicated.

Schizophrenia is made by the Government ? Mmmmmkay Pretty sure people's own minds is the culprit behind that.

You’re right on that. My doctor is was a piece of shit to even think about using an injectable on me. Goes to show how he doesn’t give a shit, and literally communicated with me for a total of 100 seconds to reach that decision.
