Personal mistakes are ones that caused most of us to get xeplion. Peace is product of mood and reward system from brain, I can see it slowly recovering by 2-3% every month since I was off.

Peace is a gift , it is a product not only of the mind, but indeed only of the heart

Could be anywhere from 6 months to the rest of your life there was this guy who used to post in here @ions I think his situation is different then traditional CTO but he’s forced to take injections and he’s taken the shots for 12 years straight I think.

I've been on shots since 2011, invega since 2013.
 
I'm not financially independent. Meaning I would be in a halfway house and public housing requires you to get shots. but I'm living with my parents and my dad makes appts and to live here outside public housing, he demands it. I can smoke weed and drink beers here where public housing is sober. K?
 
Up until recently I would gain 10-15 lbs a year and that the most obvious side effect. But since december I'm down 33 lbs. strangely. The side effects were very obvious after the first dose. But my body is used to them except the weight gain.

That’s interesting do you think that maybe one day you’d stop taking the injections? I wonder how bad the withdrawals would be for since you’ve been on them longer then any of us can comprehend.
 
I wont make any more appts when my parents die. But I also may be forced to move into public housing again at that point.

If I lived in a warm somewhat safe area I’d go homeless rather then going to public housing if it meant I didn’t have to take the shots.
 
I'm suprised by the amount of pages created in this thread since the last time I checked, it seems that it's more active than it used to be. Anyways I just randomly remembered seeing a poll on youtube asking people whether they'd prefer being in jail for a year or being on just the loading dose of invega sustenna and everyone simultaneously agreed they'd prefer being in jail, including myself. At least with jail though you may be mentally scarred for the rest of your life it couldn't have possibly caused more damage then what invega is capable of. Just thought it was a bit of random but interesting info.

I took 7 shots of 150mg xeplion

I say that my experience is that this drug changes you, the most visible thing is the lethargy that sexuality has. After 3 years my sexual strength returned. I no longer have the rock in my penis when I'm awake. But I have a sober and valid sexuality.

I want to write that permanent damage comes from misconceptions and practices such as doing drugs and being mean

After the drug has left me I feel much better: I have a more powerful brain.
I am different and I understood that this diversity must be known.

Don't be afraid everything will be fine.

Do u have the link?

Also am I the only person that "willingly" ( had no idea what it was ) took the injection as opposed to being forced or court ordered?

I willingly took it too, I had no idea it would be so bad and knew I needed to be medicated.

For me I’d rather go to jail then be put on CTO too take 12 injections, however taking the loading doses for me personally wasnt as bad as being in jail for a year would be I have been recovering faster then average, by the time I was at month 5 I was about 60% recovered and that mental prison was no longer as bad as the idea of being in jail, however if I was presented that choice again I’d go with going to jail if I were too take 2 more shots I would probably still recover yes but there’s no guarantee it would go as smoothly as the first time or that I wouldn’t be left with permanent damage, tbh I’ve been mentally scarred from invega I’m pretty sure I got PTSD from it thinking about it sometimes makes me really angry and fearful but I manage is pretty good and don’t let it consume my life, tbh compared to other people it was still hell on earth for me yes but I didn’t have it as bad as other people like @t_xeplionhell, I never struggled with insomnia in fact I slept abnormally too much which sleep is how the brain and body heals so the people who don’t get hit with insomnia are at a huge advantage.
