Mental Health Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v 8.0

[RecoveryInProgress]

My dog died last night and my PSSD makes me not feel his loss. It sucks, I WANT to feel it. I loved him so much. We had a very nice walk before he died and I was feeling hopeful for the future.

I’m so sorry for your loss

I’m so sorry for your loss

Thank you. I'm actually crying about it now with a lump in my throat, I think maybe it took a while for it to hit me.

I hate that I was just scrolling on my phone when it happened, when I knew I should say goodbye before I try to sleep. I was in the room with him, and then I realized I didn't hear him breathing anymore. He was a very fun dog, full of life into his last days in spite of the cancer and arthritis. He was the only dog I ever had who knew how to fetch. He was almost 15 years old, chocolate lab, his name was Gonzo.

I was on a message board with seven people who suffer from Invega damage. They are all dead now from suicide.Even the moderator.

Why would you tell us that, what’s the point of making us lose hope? Fuck

You’ve only been suffering 10 months and you’ve witnessed 7 people all commit suicide from invega within that short span? I’m doubtful of that

If you’re not 100% sure about this being true can you please be honest? I’m panicking and losing a lot of hope based on this. I don’t know why you wouldn’t keep that shit to yourself, it’s not like false hope can ever be a bad thing in our situation. Fuck

Where is senior moderator? Haven't seen him/her in a while now.

I'm back, and I have cleaned up the thread a fair bit.

I told him the severity of what this drug does.That this is not some joke I am playing with .That the suicide rate from this drug is 97%.I actually emailed a bunch of doctors from Yale University yesterday and hoping they will get me somewhere.Im not giving up.

The suicide rate from Invega is not as high as 97%. It just isn't. I'm not sure where you're getting that number from, but it is not helpful to post things like that in this thread, where people are trying to recover and looking for help and support.

It's hard to breathe and I'm fading away

I'm so sorry you're struggling so much at the moment. Please talk to us and let us know how you're doing when you wake up. We care about you ❤

Fuck, I am SO sad for your loss It is so hard when we lose our furbabies. Don't beat yourself up that you were scrolling on your phone when it happened. You were there in the room so he knew you were there ❤ Let us know how you're going okay? I've been through the loss of pets A LOT so I know what it's like.

That suicide rate statistic is simply not true. Please do not worry yourself about it ❤

I don’t think it’s true, it can’t be! I’ve seen so many recovery stories and in my research I see more people recover than those who don’t… like I’ll go looking through old invega profiles to check if they’ve recovered and I’ll write to them and most of them reply saying they’ve recovered mostly. So I don’t understand why this guy is saying the whole group died, that’s gotta be bullshit. I don’t wanna die

It's not true don't worry about it. I received 3 months worth of invega injections and 18 plus months worth of abilify injections and not only recovered 100% but i am now in better shape then i was when i was 20 and doing bricklaying all day.

 

[Serhat]

Thanks for sharing with us, Serhat. How bad were your symptoms in the beginning? Did you have total loss of emotions and anhedonia?

Yes I did it was pretty bad the start, it got better as days went by.

Did you have symptoms of tardive dyskinesia? If so what were they because I think I might have it from just 2 loading doses.

No TD at all. Thankgod. No symptoms too

what helped you recover?

Mostly going out to the park, gym and talking to people keeping myself occupied.

Sorry for 3 posts can mod please combine these I forgot how to :D

i have a question how many months off invega sustenna did it take for you to start getting pleasure from music? music was very important to me to heal my emotional pain now it has no effect no pleasure which fucking sucks im 5 months off man, and do you think weed could bring the pleasure back at least somewhat?

Well it took me a good few months to actually get pleasure from music again. I got my sex drive back before i got that back so it was atleast 4 or 5 months after i got off the abilify injections. And yes weed does help that and weed helped overall in my recovery

[paranoid android]

Yup comes back gradually. I didnt start working out again until i was about 2 years or so off the injections. Now i have lots of energy though
