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

[Merek]

Let's see where it goes months from now.
I just don't believe bullshit stories.
Claiming to be fully recovered 3 months after getting last shot, after getting 21 shots and all of this while being on other drugs like Zyprexa?
I call that bs, sorry.

Here’s my theory on that, abilify is nowhere near as bad as invega and @paranoid android may have still been feeling invega side effects while on abilify the ability shots may have not been nearly as damaging and he coincidentally recovered from invega 3 months after he discontinued ability that’s just my theory though I’m not saying I know that’s what happened.

Even if it's just the 3 shots of invega. Still, there's no way he made it in 3 months. lol
I'll just move on from here...

 

[HelpMeInvega]

I hope nothing serious is going on with you. I hope all is well...
I have problems in delivering my thoughts into words. I know my intensions, but can't put it into words.
Also, my vocabulary has decreased significantly...

Thank you for your concern. Unlike some ppl on this thread. lol children. I think it’s just the latuda causing side effects to be honest. I have the same problems with vocabulary and formulating my thoughts. I’d like to read a story where someone got 10 or more shots and actually recovered. I don’t think feeling weed has anything to do with things because I felt weed and edibles when on Invega Sustenna. It’s just another shot in the dark theory. I’m not trying to be negative just a realist!

I'm here for the truth as well, and for an actual sound scientific research on the matter, not a bunch of theories and bro science haha
Weed is working, yes, but in a weird way, it's not enjoyable like it used to. I don't think weed is an indication on recovery either.

 

[UnluckyXeplion]

No offense, but when something really doesn't make sense, I put a question mark on it.
You're claiming the unthinkable.
You wanna tell me that invega has completely left your system within 3 months?
So why are we all still suffering and we had way less shots than you? Is that because our brain is made out of cardboard? haha

I was on invega first and then switched to abilify so it was actually the abilify i was recovering from when switched to latuda. How is it unthinkable that i recovered and again why would i lie? I have no anhedonia at all anymore, my emotions are back to pre invega and my sex drive is like a goddamn teenagers these days. I probably didnt do myself any favors when i was on abilify when i first got out of the hospital either as i was doing loads of coke because i had to do something since i couldnt get it up.

So yes i still believe anyone can recover. You are simply being defeatist

 

[Indoorgrapesuperfire]

Ya im fully recovered. My sex drive has come back 110%, my anhedonia went away completely and so far ive only gained 10lbs on zyprexa which i can live with as i was getting abit skinny anyway. Im also working out 7 days a week now and am working out with alot heavier weights then when i started 2 months ago. I say im recovered because ive gotten my life back pre invega so im not complaining. I really dont know how i can be more recovered.

I can’t begin to tell you how much this little 10mg Latuda pill cut in half for 6 months or so has ruined my life and still carries on to this day! Sounds like I’m overreacting about reputation. You got to get off. All I can say is even with more and more knowledge everyday, I still want a restraining order on my immediate family and to leave the state with a name change. That’s problem solved to me. It’s been like 7 years too.

I don't know what it is about your recovery, but nothing gonna change the fact that it's hard for me to believe it...
Nevertheless, I'm glad you're doing better.

What did latuda cause for you? I’m on it right now!

I found the psych ward far more damaging then the shitty fucking antipsychotics i was put on in there. Had they just given me zyprexa at the beginning instead of taking me off all my meds even the seroquel then the whole thing could have been avoided.

 

[HelpMeInvega]

Why would i lie? I feel like im fully back to pre invega days minus the fucking ptsd i have from the psych ward. I think y psych ward stay fucked me up alot worse then any antipsychotic could. Fuck that place and the cunts that work there.



I have to say i didnt like latuda. It gave me akaesthia, didnt help my ptsd and i had this weird jaw clenching thing that was extremely painful. It also stopped working for psychosis. So far the only side effect i am geting from zyprexa is abit of weight gain but as im putting on muscle to it may just be from working out alot

Yeah so far it’s been ok for me, I’m sorry you had so much trouble on it.

The psych ward wasn't so bad for me, it's the antipsychotics that screwed me over.
My arse ain't going back there. period.
Maybe psych wards in the US look like those places in horror movies, maybe that's why you have ptsd from it

 

[paranoid android]

Watch for symptoms of movement disorders just in case. My pharmacist said to patricularily watch out for anything like involuntary tongue movements.

It was hell for me. I was taken off 150mg's of morphine, 6mg's of clonaz, seroquel, gabapentin and even my asthma inhaler ffs! I don't think i willl ever get over the screaming at night, solitary confinment or those fucking flashlights. Im not going back there either i can't think of much worse places to be actually. When i say im back to pre invega days i mean besides all the ptsd and trauma. I don't think theres any getting over that shit

Psych ward is a bad place overall, they can force you to take drugs.
But for me, my staying there wasn't so bad, I got fresh and tasty food, was watching TV... but again, it's not a good place to be at.

That sounds awful! How can they just take you off all those drugs?

Because in there while you may have rights on paper in reality you don't. The whole thing still pisses me off as it's totally hypocritical. They treat mentally ill patients like fucking criminals all under the guise of treatment. It took my brother whos a lawyer loosing his shit adter having to break up a fight between me and someone else in there and threatening a lawsuit for me to get a new shrink. I spent 3 months in there without even a goddamn asprin all because my shrink hated me and said i had fucking weed psychosis. She wanted me in prison or so she said. Shrinks in psych wards have way to much power imo. The nurses in there are just as bad

I don't think ill ever get over that shit

ya I agree that anyone can recover I’m 90% recovered from invega sustenna and getting better every week at this point.

ya that’s fucked up there’s a stigma against people with schizophrenia and psychosis that kind of reminds me of racism in a way the psych wards and police do whatever they want to people with schizophrenia cause when the victims try too go for a lawsuit nobody in the system will believe them cause they’re schizophrenic.

That’s awful, I’m sorry you had to go through that. That could be scarring for sure. Trauma stays with you. CTO is my trauma and continuing on the injection for seven months after even though it was giving me TD and everything was a huge trauma for me…and we’ll see what else it’s caused at this point.

Can you thoroughly think about your plans for the next day when you’re going to sleep or does your brain feel to fried and just go blank? When I was on Invega Sustenna it went blank. Lol my thoughts are slowly starting to come back though
