Mental Health Coming off Invega (Paliperidone, Xeplion) injections v 6.0

[angelbaby25bg]

I'm too weak and lacking of energy to workout.
I used to workout 6 days a week and lift, now it's impossible.

Me too. I did hot yoga everyday and now I can barely get up to walk. My family has no sympathy they are like mind over matter but it's not that simple.

 

[angelbaby25bg]

Honestly I never had issues of muscle aches or head pressure like others report.
My main problems are infertility, inability to think deep thoughts or come to deep conclusions, boredom and lack of patience to activities I used to love...
I guess everyone is different when it comes to side effects, but most suffer from similar things.
I'm 4 months and 17 days off and only recently my patience have improved a little, so it's less boring for me now.
Lets see where it goes in a month from now.

Wishing you the best.

Btw, do you get high or euphoria from weed?

I am experiencing the same issues and more. I got 3 injections the last being November 24th 2022. From what I've read it'll be months before I feel better. I pray I find answers to solving this.

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.

Yes absolutely. I gained about 20 pounds and it really bothers me as well as a whole massive list of other side effects. Sexual pleasure had close to diminished and I hate feeling that way. I feel so flat and dull on top of it all.

Anybody dealing with myalgia (muscle weakness) this has started for me ever since the withdrawals picked up I’m pretty muscular but I can’t lift as much a month or so ago I could bench 175 for 6 now I can barely do 135 for 8 if anyone has experienced this lmk.

I have overall weakness and severe lack of motivation. I feel flat and have a hard time doing things I once loved. Nothing really interests me or keeps my mind focused. My last injection was November 24 2022 with a total of 3 months I was injected. Worse experience ever. Glad to hear you're bouncing back after some time. I pray I recover.

I am somewhat relieved to hear that weed had no effect on you because I thought I was the only one here who cannot feel on weed. Do you like One Piece? I started watching it as a kid but dropped watching it later on.

Yeah immediately after I got shot I felt anhedonia and tried to get out of it with weed. It barely did anything, I had a weird feeling in my head and it just made me tired. It might work better now but it’ll most definitely induce psychosis.

Yeah I like One Piece lol, I watched it a long time ago but only until the time skip. After that I found it boring and dropped it too. Till which arc did you watch it? Did you like it? Do you watch other anime? Dm me if you like.

Welcome too blue light all those symptoms you’re experiencing are normal you will recover the quickest if you don’t take any more injections or other anti psychotics, if you absolutely need too I’d suggest latuda it has minimal side effects but if not no meds is the way to go, you should get plenty of exercise, eat healthy, and do things to stimulate your brain. Stay away from anti depressants, stimulants, depressants (drugs in general), as being sober will be the quickest way for your brain to get to homeostasis without anything interfering with it. If you only took 3 injections and do all this stuff you should be recovered in 6-12 months the younger you are the faster you recover if you’re in your 30s or above it might take 18-24 months though.

The amount of time it takes to recover is scary. I can't imagine being like this much longer as it is. I have just a totally painful daily encounter with these symptoms and I need to get better. I'm 34 but I feel like my whole life has stopped because of this. I miss feeling happy and enjoying things. I hate that Ive put on 20 pounds and I force myself to have sex for my partner. I can't believe the half-life of this drug and the terrible things it does to the brain.

Does any of you meditate? Do you guys have dreams every night? Soul and spirit is important in recovery!

Does anyone struggle with talking to people and making conversation. Invega made me so quiet and just unable to think of things to say in a conversation except really obvious things to say. My mum and brother is so arrogant like they look down on me for being quiet and if I say something dumb they act weird

Yes I feel completely dumbed down

Hi everyone I just want to share that I've been completely sober from alcohol and all drugs including marijuana. And I haven't got psychosis again. Good to keep that in mind for you guys wanting to smoke weed. Also start exercising instantly if you feel any slight change in your mental state. Get a good walking session in and finish off with a jog to get the blood flowing to your brain. May God bless you all

Have you fully recovered?

I absolutely do. It's very important for my daily function to meditate. Always. Every day for a long time. It's easier to start small and build up. Even if you get just two minutes, it does make a difference!

 

[ExStonerExDrinker]

Have you fully recovered?

It's been six months since I took my last shot. And I've been back to normal for about 2-3 months. My body has always been very good and adaptive to all types of different things in the past and up to recovering from invega. Although I haven't broke into psychosis, my overall physical health does seem to be deteriorating though. I blame my diet

 

[ExStonerExDrinker]

Have you fully recovered?

I should also add that I tried coming off of invega once before. I was on the shot for 8 months. Then I got off and recovered in 4 months but I started smoking weed heavy. And at month 5 I broke into psychosis again. After that I was put back on invega for 13 months and then finally stopped taking the shot 6 months ago

Glad to hear you’ve recovered staying sober is a good approach I’ve been doing that during my recovery and focusing on exercise but I feel like my physical health is deteriorating as well I think it’s withdrawals I feel like I have muscle weakness and can’t run as far have you experienced this?

Thank you I hope you recover from everything going on with you. And yes I've felt the muscle weakness and lack of stamina coming off of the shots. You will recover from that no doubt. What I'm talking about is stomach issues like pains and numbness. Also my legs and hand nerves are acting up lol probably nothing to do with the medication.

Also I feel like I must add that everytime I've broke into psychosis in the past i was under the influence of marijuana. And now that I dont smoke it I'm good. Could be a coincidence. Also Could be that I was misdiagnosed from substance induced psychosis into schizophrenia. Which I believe is the case for me and for many others here who have faced substances.

I haven’t had any stomach issues at all I have had pain and numbness though I’m in the recovery process right now dealing with the peak of the withdrawals I believe I’m getting insomnia lately where I can fall asleep but wake up in the middle of the night and can’t fall back asleep has this happened too you too?

Ya most likely if you haven’t relasped into psychosis you probably had a drug induced psychosis I got my psychosis from taking a fuck load of kratom but I was also smoking a lot of weed. Ima stay off those two and most other substances besides shrooms caffeine and alcohol.

 

[Merek]

Even though I’m going through withdrawals right now I’m also starting too notice improvements I can get dopamine hits from light exercise as simple as walking now my sex drive is coming back and my voice is getting deeper which is probably from testosterone coming back I’m 4 months off.
