It was definitely the wrong treatment for sure, I've said in previous posts several times that it was a complete misdiagnosis as I'm not schizophrenic nor have I ever suffered from psychosis. I'm gunna mention this to the new psychiatrist I'm seeing in a few hours, I'm curious as to what their opinion is.

Are you suffering from side effects caused by abilify? I'm genuinely suprised to see a large quantity of people complaining about it since I never experienced any side effects when I was still taking it, which was prior to invega. If I had to choose I'd definitely prefer abilify for sure 100%.
 
It's interesting that I seemingly had no reaction whatsoever when taking abilify for an extended period of time, since I could still function exactly the same. But as soon as I was injected with invega I immediately suffered from very severe side effects that have barely even improved to this day nearly 4 months after. I'm mostly only capable of simple tasks as my brain is too fried for complex thinking and problem solving which is very concerning as I STILL don't get more then like 1 or 2 hours of sleep, at least that's what it feels like. I'm completely certain that I've suffered from brain damage not only from invega but sleep deprivation. I lack the ability to think clearly, quickly, and rationally like I did prior.

I actually found abilify no better then invega. Have you tried any sleeping pills because that is not nearly enough sleep. No wonder you feel fucked

Is anybody else suicidal or was suicidal and recovered? If so how long did it take to not be suicidal?

I was suicidal the first 2 months of being on invega & also month 4, I was chronically suicidal and wanted nothing more to die I was just done, I had attempted suicide 2 times and failed then drove to a spot to attempt a third time but decided too turn around something stopped me idk what it was, everything I thought of or planned for 1-2 weeks straight was a plan to not be alive anymore, if you’ve been reading my posts lately I have never been saying I’ve been suicidal don’t have goals I feel okay all the time I’m not anxious at all I still deal with mild depression and anhedonia but it’s nothing I can’t handle and it’s nothing compared to how I felt before.

I was suisidal and then I went on nofap for 90 days and it completely change my life

I 100% agree with this, porn/masterbation addiction is poison for your brain it’s nowhere near as bad as invega but still pretty bad, I had anhedonia and depression before I even took the injections cause of it I discovered nofap and have gone on long streaks it’s most definitely been life changing the 3 times I attempted/almost attempted where month 4 of coming off invega I had a relapse on porn addiction, normally relapses don’t push me to commit suicide but that in combination with anti psychotic withdrawal and invega side effects pushed my over the edge all I could do is hyper focus on suicide but it made it through, every challenge like this will pass trust me I get it when it’s that bad it feels like it’s gonna be permanent but it always passes.

Yeah I've only recieved that amount of sleep since a week after being injected with invega, meaning that it's almost been four whole months of me suffering from having such little sleep. And yeah I've tried multiple different remedies to no avail however.

Yes I did and I recovered from that

You took the loading doses of invega and 1 clopixol shot yes? that’s 3 shots overall which is very unlikely to cause permanent damage and if you were able to overcome the challenge of recovering from invega you most definitely are going to recover from clopixol if you just hang in there you’re still very early in the recovery stage from it and probably experiencing anti psychotic withdrawal again but it will pass and brighter days are ahead.

I had 2 shots of paliperidone in dec 2020 and also two shots of clopixol in dec 2022

Have you felt like you feel worse now then you did earlier on during your recovery from clopixol?

No worse or better, just the same I've been suicidal for 4 months now, last time it took me about 5-6 months to not be suicidal im hoping it will be the same with clopixol

Ya igy i had a period of time during month 3 off invega where I wasn’t suicidal but once month 4 came around I became as suicidal as month 1 if not even more, the thing about month 1 was that I slept like 12-15 hours everyday on invega so I barely had to be awake and I had very vivid dreams I could remember clearly every single day/night so I basically spent more then half my time in a whole different reality which was honestly cool as fuck which sounds much better then chronic insomnia I’m grateful my case wasn’t as bad as it can get, months 1 2 and 4 where the worst for me most definitely, I stopped being suicidal completely by month 5 and haven’t been suicidal ever since I am now at month 7.5.
 
i got suicidal when being forced to take risperdal. i was going to dunkin donuts in the morning and eating like a strip of oreos and a huge glass of milk for lunch. it went on for a couple months. i had a job at a car wash and would wash a bag of little debbies snacks down with mountain dew.

i got kidney stones a few years later. it definitely wasn't fun... i also get pompholyx on my fingers if i eat too much sugar now. i'm lucky that i don't need a diabetes needle.
