How does someone survive off $3000 a month if they’re on disability from Invega and that’s all they make and don’t live at home?

Where I’m from, 3000 usd a month is the averege salary for most people. I guess if you’re in a big city most of it is rent.

I found on quora a tip on how to detox from Xeplion:

The drug gonna stay in your system for a while and also in your neuron . What you need to do is to produce tons of serotonin and dopamine with this protein

-Tryptophan with 5htp + vitamin B6

-Phenylalanine with l-dopa + vitamin B6

Can anyone please comment on that.

That stuff wil do jack shit. You need a doctors prescription for high dosages of L-dopa which they only give to people with alzheimer or parkinsons. It doesnt matter anyway since your dopamine receptors are blocked.....I dont recommend this, but speaking from experience :
Weed speeds up recovery and combats anhedonia it however isnt an antidote
the comedown from drugs hit really hard because you're on invega
If you're on abilify you can use kratom for 6 months straight

Does anyone know why invega causes insomnia? I barely get a couple hours of sleep a night

 

[t_xeplionhell]

^ I think invega should be one of those last resort antipsychotics. I mean if you can prescribe zyprexa instead of invega why prescribe invega which is fucking horrible. I actually preferred thorazine over invega and abilify.

Jail should be last resort and not any strong AP like invega which is only good for trash.

I’m going to try mushrooms. I’m just worried there won’t be any euphoria just like weed and alcohol. I’m going to be smoking some hash in the summer and see if I feel good on it. I will be 4 months off at that point

You really need to have invega out of your system month 5 & 6 to get some worthwhile effects. Hash can be done every month

Let me know if your able to trip. The 1 thing i dont like about zyprexa is that i may not be able to trip unless i take a few days off. Hash and weed worked for me ev en when i was on the invega injections

 

[Baddream]

I’m going to a wedding today. I must say, after a few gin tonics, I definitely feel something. I’m so releived that I’m getting better every week. I pray this progress continues. Wish u guys well

There was one person in a previous thread named VeteransWife. Her husband was put on invega for ptsd. He recovered in 12 months. I’m not sure if anyone currently on here was put on invega for depression.

Yeah me, went to the clinic to treat severe depression but i had to take the shot or they wouldnt let me go
Im not feeling like i'm recovering

That makes sense that it would make it worse. It is not a good antipsychotic for depression at all. If i had treatment resistant depression i would much rather try ketamine or shrooms for it then invega. Fuck that shit

Yeah me, went to the clinic to treat severe depression but i had to take the shot or they wouldnt let me go

That is some bullshit. I couldnt think of a worse drug for depression then invega.

I’m starting to forget what it feels like to be a normal person.

I’m starting to forget what it feels like to be a normal person.

Do you have hope in recovery? Back to pre invega

You will get better it just takes time

@HelpMeInvega How did you lose the Invega weight

Has anyone been put on Invega for major depression it’s only made my worse

I honestly have no idea as to why my psychiatrist even put me on invega in the first place but what I do know is that it caused me to go from being content, energetic, productive, normalweight, and what I would consider relatively intelligent to being severely/constantly depressed, lethargic, lazy, obese, and cognitively impaired with a lower IQ now. I genuinely don't understand why anyone would prescribe invega to treat something completely unrelated to what it was intended for, like how would partially disabling someone both mentally and physically possibly improve someone's already existing depression?
