Yesterday I told my therapist that I'd take a swan dive in front of a subway car if I ever got another shot of invega sustenna. She was all "you can't say that to your therapist!" but we had a good laugh over it.

How do you look right now? Did you lose all the invega weight?
 
So youve lost all the invega weight but look different? How much was your heaviest when you were on the injection? I gained 30lbs and weight 200lbs. Its crazy right now
Did you exercise a lot before the injection? Were you ripped and everything? I find if you were in really good shape before the injection once you stop the weight will just fall off. But your muscle tone won’t come back!!!
 
13 pounds down of the 20 I gained. My stretch goal is to lose an extra 20 after that.
I might just join ya on losing an extra 20 on top of my baseline weight cuz apparently you lose muscle tone

I used to compete in bodybuilding and I did pretty well cuz I had good genetics for it. I had to work pretty hard though. Hopefully the weight will just fall off. With the muscle tone I guess we just have to be leaner haha

Did you exercise for the weight to fall off? Im planning on stopping my gyming until I fully recover.

How long have you been off the injection? Are you walking and working out? It should start immediately if it’s going to fall off. I started losing weight while they lowered the injection from 75mgs to 50mgs when I was on it and it kept lowering. I actually lost 20lbs while on Invega Sustenna while working out just by lowering the injection while walking on it.

That’s probably the worst thing you could do, I suggest long walks, you have to try to lose weight if you want the weight to come off. Ask your doctor about off market weight loss medications. Why did you have to take Invega Sustenna in the first place?

My last injection was a trinza. I only got one of those though. It was on June 6th. Im not working out but Im walking a fair bit and I havent lost any weight yet. What do ya think?
 
Oh yeah trinza might take a long time to get out of your system, so you might have to wait it out and won’t lose any weight for like a year to be honest. Trinza lasts for like 3 months doesn’t it? So really you’re still under the effects of it and you still might go psychotic off meds!

Doc thought I wasnt taking my meds when I was. He said if its the side effects that your worried about we can go with invega. Your family wants you on injections. I was at the ward for psychosis. Im not even diagnosed. And Im off cto

Yeah I don’t get it, so you were taking your original meds but you were in psychosis and they injected you with Invega Trinza? So you were psychotic?
 
Can anyone else maybe take a shot and tell me are u getting high off thc products. I have tried everything like edibles, vapes, joints and can’t feel a single thing. Is this permanent? Anyone else facing the same issue or did? Please answer

Also alcohol and caffeine and I don’t feel anything either

No dont say that(although I appreciate your honest feedback). I hope I lose weight after the first three months. Otherwise Imma lose it. Did you lose weight at the first halflife of sustenna?

I was only psychotic cause I was smoking a cartridge of high thc marijuana every two days. Im not to worried about another psychosis break as long as I dont smoke all day everyday again.

Oh sorry, I guess I misunderstood. I know a guy who took Trinza and didn’t lose weight until 7 months off it. Dunno if that’s going to be the same for you, are you going to be taking other antipsychotics?

No need to apologize my man. Did the guy lose all the weight he gained? I hope you say yes haha. I might take geodon until december then quit everything forever. Its just cuz of my family. Then again I might just pretend to take it and be clean of all drugs
 
He lost all the weight yeah, but he was super skinny before taking antipsychotics….all he did was smoke cigs and drink coffee lol

Anyone?
 
I can feel something off cannabis.Caffeine on the other hand I don’t know if it affects me as much. Not sure if it will be permanent or not. I don’t really use it every day just once in awhile but maybe you can try letting your receptors heal and taking a break and then going back to it to see if it works better for you
