It’s in the blood, I don’t think water helps at all. Maybe hard exercise to speed up metabolism?

I think Invega is deposited in the subcutaneous and intra-abdominal fat, Paliperidone is highly lipid soluble and are stored in "body fat". Yes you're right it is distributed by your blood (the meds) but Its not stored there

I don’t mean to undermine anybody’s suffering. I just think some people need to stop thinking they are ill, or it becomes your reality. We got to push ourselves to socialize, to exercise, take care of ourselves and our family. It starts with the mind, it’s not nonsense.

I feel the same to some degree. But you have had improvements right? What makes you think the progress will suddenly stop? Just give it time.

Start questioning the people behind negative comments. Just look at their other posts to get the full picture. @dirtyinvega is calm and polite, but I get the feeling that he’s being too hard on himself and caught up in a negative spiral of thinking. He may be a severe case with the sides, it’s impossible for me to know for sure. I hope he feels better either way.


You are right on this one, well said.


The recovery stories after 2+ years far outweigh the negative ones. It’s not a 1:1 ratio.

I guess you feel like recovery is like a lottery, or 50% you just have to be lucky. Me, I think we will all recover with different timelines and suffer common side effects for the most part. I also believe some people are making it worse than it needs to be by giving into the negativity. Remember that most «negative» comments are during the first year or two.

Conclusion: Show me the people who came back with bad news and compare it with the list of recoveries.

I don’t mean to call out people who write about their suffering as jerks or anything, I get that it’s how they feel and I feel sorry for them. I just offer my own opinion because I think it’s an important counterbalance. People have their own right to believe what they want and refute what they don’t agree with. Let the people decide

I wish it was as easy as mind over matter mate I truly wish it was that easy and think positively and things will fall into place. I had a phone call with someone from this forum yesterday who reached out it was a complete eye opener to hear someone explain what they are going through and i think they were surprised I was still suffering side effects from this nightmare nearly 7 years later - without a doubt this person is going a extremely hard time and it gonna be a hard and slow ride - funny enough it kinda made my day talking to this person I hope they as not bed ridden like I was for a long time the depression is just in a different league outta this world what happens when you have invega and go though the "Withdrawals" I think lots of people maybe get post invega syndrome from this AP it is a complete mystery why some people have long term effects from it. The only reason I can think of is the brain rewired its self kinda like neuroplasticity and that part of the brain is no longer functional.

Could you please explain this a bit. Maybe I got it wrong.

neuroplasticity is when the brain rewires it self when a part of the brain is not functioning when people have strokes or bleeds in the brain and it's damaged it uses a different part of the brain to kinda serve that function it losted in the process the brain is kinda compensating for the lost of a function when you lose hearing in one ear the other ear that is still available or functional takes over.

Do you think that if I rewired something different with neuroplasticity before I got invega, which I used for a while before invega, that it destroyed it for me and now I can't use it anymore?

I definitely think this is the case mate. I have always said from the very beginning that is Parkinson's symptoms we are experiencing.

Who knows mate the brain can and does make mistakes it is not a bullet proof system. No one really understands the full story of the human brain it's so damn advanced and complex.
 
I feel neurologically changed after taking these drugs. More sensitive to lights and sounds, more intolerant to caffeine(feels too wired, like i'm gonna have a seizure), more dizzy, body feels heavy and more difficult to control, less hand eye coordination, anhedonia(nothing feels pleasurable anymore), lethargy, sexual disfunction, etc. Is there a cure for this? The way it feels, it seems permanent. And the worst of it all, if i tell a psychiatrist about this they say it's the "illness" that i have, and not the drug that caused this. Even though i've never felt like this before in my entire life until i took the drugs. It's very unethical of them to assume anhedonia is a symptom of schizophrenia instead of accepting that these drugs cause it too, they always overlap the symptoms of schizophrenia to the symptoms of antipsychotics. Psychiatry should be abolished. My life feels ruined, i can't even work or drive a car like this like the rest of the kids my age.
