Mental Health Coming off Invega (Paliperidone, Xeplion) injections v. 7.0

Not open for further replies.
Back in 2019 when I was recovering on this forum my biggest inspiration was Koz. He was bipolar & ended up taking other medication that worked for him, but part of his story was that he did MMA - invega took him out, but as he went through the recovery process he shared through his FB ect. How he was getting back in shape and into fights and tournaments again. Invega does not permanently destroy your body - but if you choose to live in misery and use it as an excuse to never go to the gym again even many years after recovery, then in that way, it will!

I really want to know how the hell do you measure the improvement!!?
Do you feel emotions?
Do you enjoy sex? Such as before?
Do you sleep well?
Are u able to talk normally? Fluent?
For what I ve seen, these are symptoms that no one ever recovers after at least 1 AP injection. So please, tell me how the hell did you recover after 6 (SIX) fucking injections??! I suggest you define to us your understanding of RECOVERED. Because right now, while I am bedridden I can tell you I am recovered and that I can “walk” “meet my GF” “eat” but that doesnt mean you can recover the things you have been stolen with this shit, the small things, such as a good conversation, feeling high, enjoying simple things such as sitting down in the outside, that doesnt come back, dont lie to this poor people, Kaatrina. I know you have a family and thats fair enough to behave the way you do, but some people here are in their 18,20s, like me, and I dont want to have a false perception of my future. NO ONE RECOVERS FROM AP INJECTION THE WAY YOU WERE BEFORE IT. IT IS MORE COMPLICATED THAN ME OR ANY OF YOU THINKS. It interfers with genes, proteins, mitochondria, DNA… its hell

I speak fluently again after ten months off of Invega. I was having blank mind and having a hard time speaking during my first two months off.
I couldn’t sleep at all during the first few months off of Invega, now I sleep normal again. I had two injections a few days apart. I had the highest dose of two hundred and something, followed by one hundred and sixty something. I could barely walk straight after such of a high dosage. I am back walking normal now. I’d say outside of my emotions, loss of period, and acne things has improved for me too. I’d say that some things has went back to 100% so you shouldn’t be so hard on her about her healing. I believe her!

I think it’s unfair to say someone hasnt recovered when they say they are. But I will say I think some people reach a plateau where they are not able to feel the same ways as before but that doesn’t mean they aren’t functional and happy and stable, and even if they aren’t able to feel the same way to them that could still be recovery

I mean really do you think I come here to constantly recall the worst year + of my life just for fun? I come here because I know how hopeless it is at month 4 or 5 when you still see no changes and you can't think of anything every day except for the fact that you may live this way forever. I remember what torture that is & I come here to help see the light at the end that I & so many others found but is so hard to see at that time. I don't come here to fucking lie to people and keep them holding on for something fake, what would be the point, if rather just forget about invega forever and leave this forum at that point

Keep doing what you’re doing. 💪 It gives us hope… I’m 5 months off and this is hell. Just have to keep trucking through 🤷🏿‍♂️
 
The sleeping is the only thing that has gotten worse for me. Partly because of the climate but I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t fall back to sleep for an hour or two

How can you guys work on this?

I have a hard time waking up in the morning, but I am able to focus for the most prt. I am familiar with my tasks and can deliver my duties. To be honest I don’t understand how you can deal with not working. I would be bored to death without a job. Working makes time pass by faster. Weekends and after work is when I struggle. Depends on the job I guess. Hard labor maybe more difficult
 
I’m going to the library to borrow a book. Hopefully I can find some relaxation by reading my mind is all over the place lately. I’m open to suggestions if u guys have. I previously enjoyed books like the process by kafka, crime and punishment dostoyevsky, I really like ethical dilemma type books. Existential genre appeals to me. Any suggestion is appreciated, fire away your favourites 🤗

I can’t. I can’t fully interact with people yet. It makes it hard to work with people.

I should be able to function + work and be assertive in another 6-7 months hopefully. I’m really hoping. But maybe sooner or later than that. I’m not able to hold a job right now. My comprehension is Almost nonexistent.
 
Audiobooks anyone? I’m probably too lazy to read. Will start with some history maybe. Roman empire. Caligula or augustus. Take it from there

Read Dostoyevski shorts like Notes from the Underground and The Gambler, you would probably also like The Stranger by Albert Camus

Hopefully you’ll be able to. I’m at month 10 and I still can’t.
