I am seriously cracking under this pressure. I’m not sure how long I can live like this. I don’t even sleep throughout the full night, I wake up early always and I’m never tired to fall back asleep. I really want to end it today.

I was like that for a while, it goes away eventually. You could try 25mg of seroquel (TEMPORARILY) and see if that helps you sleep longer.

Please dont! Are ypu working? School? Do you have a reason to get up or an alarm? I remeber the first 2.5 months not being able to sleep but that went away along with the nightmares!! This was before I had job, I cant even comprehend how bad that is if you would have to get up for work. If it went away for me it will for you too! Now I get 8 full hours! But I remember how shitty rhe insomnia was. Are you drinking enough water? It passesss!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
It’s been years since Ive been on here, to get to this new thread after many years, so many pages and threads, straight up insanity, I pray for you all. I was on pills for a year, 2015, then 2 years, 24 shots, in 2017 stopped taking all medications of any kind. I had one psychosis due to years of ADD meds, which made me chemically imbalanced, followed by me smoking weed when I was 21 and had a stressful breakup, causing me a temporary loss of sanity. I have no mental illness, just should of never taken any prescription medications. I did have insomnia, but it goes away, please don’t end your life. I had withdrawal symptoms after 8 months, when walking or exerting myself too much I’d collapse to the floor, difficulty breathing, body would go numb, also occasional sever agitation, and temporarily my brain would feel fuzzy, and I would have a type of twitching, but it would go away. After coming off the meds, you can have short bouts of psychosis due to your dopamine receptors flooding back in. I think I went through three lasted a week. This is the medication not mental illness, please do not get another injection. Try to reach out to someone that you trust and they can pull you back to reality. Give it time. I am back here after all these years because even now I have noticed I have been having issues almost monthly. I wasn’t sure what it was at first I was blaming Covid or my asthma , but last month I had the same issues where I was twitching and today my head was hurting a lot not a normal headache and my equilibrium is off. I’m hoping this might be the last amount of side effects I have before I am 100% recovered, as in maybe my brain will be reconnected completely and I can smoke weed, not that I have a need to now anyways. What helped the most was cbd water soluble, or any kind of cbd. It helps calm down the nerves in your brain. It saved my job. But do not be discouraged after about a year I felt completely back to myself I was even able to drink again at year 2-3, I still cannot smoke weed however, even to this day, my brain feels fuzzy when I do and I have bad side effects. But besides that I am 100% back to normal. Creativity, intelligence, you name it. This may sound like a long battle. But you will feel better by every day and every month and every year that passes. Most will feel better within months, a year passes you’ll feel much like your old self, then as the years go by you won’t even realize you were ever on the drug, it will just feel like a bad dream. I will try to come back to this, if anyone has any questions, please don’t give up hope.

How many shots you got 😭 i got 3 olanzapine injections and im at the edge of suicide. Its hell 😭
I’ve read many posts back here back when I was coming off it, and it seemed like I was fortunate, if you can say that, compared to other peoples side effects. I was able to work, somehow. Im a overnight stocker at Walmart. Pounded down enough Red Bull everyday one night I thought I was gonna die. Think I went through 60 ounces a day. Only thing that worked. Always constantly tired, couldn’t enjoy anything, music, video games, couldn’t self medicate because all drugs made me even sicker, I was a numb zombie. The medical doctor scared my mother and brother with her misinformed lies and misinformation from pharmaceutical companies. Hell, yes. I would walk around thinking about ways to kill myself for years first taking the shots till I finally told my parents and they pulled me off it, I already had one suicide attempt before. And the doctor threatened I’d go through another psychosis, because she was unaware it’s the medication that causes relapse. You’ll eventually feel better, stay strong, no one deserves this.

Do you still recommend CBD oil and Rhodill

Do you still recommend CBD and Rhodiola extract for help with recovery? I read that in one of your old posts from 2019.

Definitely CBD, helps a lot. I still take Rhodiola to this day, it helps give you energy and works as an anti anxiety, the better the quality the more effective it will be, not sure about recovery but it can help with side effects, since fatigue was something I struggled with. Try to be healthy, eat healthy food, organic olive oil for healthy fats for your brain, they also have supplements for the brain at stores, Look for ones with L-tyrosine, Huperzine-A, natural herbs, and mushrooms. B6 is good to, just watch out for ones that are just B12-6 and caffeine.
 
It would be nice if we could comment on the old Invega threads. I wonder if by commenting the old users will be notified via-email that they have a message on this thread? I wonder if most of the old users just moved on with their life and forgot about this thread.

Thank you for coming back and giving us hope

I’m thinking about doing cold water plunges/Sauna treatments and seeing what affects it has on my mood. I read that the cold water plunges increases dopamine by like 200 percent or more instantly.
I also wonder if taking chlorophyll will be beneficial for clearing the skin on my body. I haven’t tried any supplements at all. I have had CBD gummies for helping with sleep, they were helpful to me at that time.

I’m sure most of the people have recovered who were on here, it’s a long hard journey, and I know for me, if I haven’t of had side effects and wanted to come update everyone about possible side effects moving forward, I wouldn’t have posted. It’s just hell to go through, and I think it’s something most of us want to forget and move on, it’s definitely enraging thinking about all of it, and everything everyone has to go through on these “medications”.

Like everyone going through this, I tried everything, I researched this drug even found medical documents deep on the web, but unfortunately the best you can do is be healthy, try to get some exercise if you can, and time. Time is everything, unfortunately. Especially when your at the point where you just want this drug to stop affecting you, and it seems endless. You just gotta keep going, make it a day at a time, eventually you’ll feel back to normal.
 
Anyone have a pain that can be attributed to how empty one feels and increases as one feels more empty?
 
Guys do you think it’s permanent for me ? I had 14 injections and it’s been over 11 months and I haven’t recovered at all not one bit … I feel brain dead compared to how I should feel … anhedonia , amotivation . Alogia , asociolatity, agrephobia , no pleasure from eating or masterbation and can’t feel substances , I’ve been in this state since my first injection 18 months ago … when should I just give up ? When would it be permanent ? I can’t live like this I’m just in my bedroom all day every day doing nothing … feel so fucked up
