Someone needs to hear this. Your body weight and memory can go back to normal even after using invega for years. Please try to stay on it for at least a year. That's what helped me out

Id get off it as soon as I can. Never been on Invega but tried risperidone.

Keep in mind anyone can read (certified) scientifics reasearch papers. They are all public and made by either govs, labs or scientific universities.

Yeag i looked at some, saw an article claiming non benefit in stopping antipsychotics.

Pretty sure pharmaceutical companies tell them what they want the result of the study to be.

Dude you're not a nuero chemist, you cant exactly know what these chemicals do to the mind and how they work

Nobody knows entirely...the brain is too complex every neuroscientist knows
All they know is that these medications are damaging and studies are manipulated to cover up the damaging side effects of psych drugs

Yeah i had problems with abilify too. No weight gain, just dumb mind and low energy. Real hard to work on it and converse and all that.

I find the depression and anhedonia it causes crippling and slighlty worse than invega but overall its less neurotoxic than invega. Abilify seems to overstimulate cells and causes this jittery feeling its horrible.

Anyway how you doing ive seen you talking about taking seroquel, any recovery?

No you're not, you're just copying and pasting what is written on these websites. You don't have a neuro chemistry degree

I'm biochemistry graduate and I study neuroscience and neurochemistry (and approach it very seriously and in a scientific way), might try to get a degree in neurochemistry, but I mostly need that knowledge for research related to non-invasive BCI.
NBCI - National Center for Biotechnology Information. Very trustable source.
Also DrugBank - trusted source used by many pharmacists, manufacturers, bio engineers and neuroscientists.

Most people with degrees studied invega and written papers on how great it works on the brain lmfao. People dying in chinese clinical studies says enough

Yet you still fool enough to get injected with Invega

Hi all, i was off meds since may and now i just thrown into the psychward again. Hopefully ill be able to get out with just a few pill taken and no injection. But i also think i may be able to get out having a lawyer.

So yeah i was om Fluanxol from 2021 march to May 2022, i was on a CTO for a year, 40 mg at beginning then 30 mg. Just read some of my earlier post if want more information.

Anyways i uploaded a video of me in psychward. If i take the meds longer and the result is i am...zonked out of my mind ill have video evidence too.

So maybe when ppl recover they can show a b4 and after of them taking antipsychotics to give evidence that those drugs dumb us down and all the other stuff thst those drugs do.


Heres my twitter, with me in psychward.

Wow, at least in all the hospitals I've been in here in the US, I've always had to check in all electronic devices, my wallet, pretty much any personal belongings that have value. We are only allowed to walk around with the clothes we wear.

I would be careful about posting some of those things on twitter. Not telling you what to do. I'm mainly concerned that if hospital staff or some executive that sits on the board were to see it, they could retaliate by putting you on another CTO or more injections.

If you have a problem with your treatment or feel that your rights are being violated, in the US they are required to hang a poster on the wall with the phone numbers of regulatory agencies so you can file a formal complaint. Or if you have an attorney, you could potentially pass them the phone numbers and have them call on your behalf. It may not do you any good or the docs may retaliate for that too. I've never had to call one of those numbers so I'm not sure what the results would be. And I'm not even sure if such a thing exists in Canada.

Please be careful. In my experience, the fastest way out is to take their meds, shower frequently, eat all your meals, and attend the groups and classes. I know it sucks but doing otherwise might get you labeled non-compliant, which could result in CTO or injections. Best of luck <3

We say this all the time. We are all different and outside of long acting injectable medications, we all experience different side effects. Even within the genre of injectable drugs, side effects can vary greatly from person to person. So whenever people imply that x drug does this to everyone or y drug doesn't work on anyone, it simply doesn't work that way. We all react differently.

Your signature says you were injected with abilify, which is most likely the main problem. I'm convinced that any of these meds are worse in injectable form. I was injected with risperdal and it was horrible. Eventually placed on abilify pills, titrated up to 30mg the maximum dose, and have been there steady for nearly 15 years. Never gained weight that wasn't caused by beer and ice cream every night. Quit those two things and started martial arts and lost 30 pounds. No real physical side effects from abilify at all, only a little blunted emotion, which if anything, makes life more tolerable not less.
 
I was physically stronger 12 months off
invega than I was before it. I was an animal, like for real.

I got rearressted months after recovering and was injected with abilify. I recovered.

I don't think I can recover again, so I have to be safe. It's sp much work recovering, I don't have the will for it anymore


I lifted weights and took supplements though.
It didn't just happen
