So basically your calling me a liar without having anything to back it up? You even viewed my pics so biceps dont lie lol.

I think you are being rather defeatist by telling people that if they took these drugs thats it they are fucked no hope. There is always hope and imo you are not being helpful. My friend takes the exact same drug at the exact same dose i does and she is doing great as well.

Just becuse a few people did bad on it does not mean that everyone will. Where do you even get your logic.

There's people who do well on invega sustenna too! I believe, more and more, that this is simply the wrong drug for the people in the thread or they were misdiagnosed and mistreated like me. Antipsychotics have helped a lot of people. It's far from a perfect treatment though, we'll look back on many of these pills and shots the same way we look back on surgery without anesthesia.

I said psychiatric meds. Most people don't have these types of issues with psychiatric meds, and yeah most people don't have these types of serious issues with antipsychotics. But the vibe in this thread is very anti-meds, meds are poison, etc.. even beyond just APs. Feel free to post statistics saying differently and I'll change my statement.

I didn't say no one has issues with APs. Plenty of people do. I just think it's best to be realistic and accurate about these things and not exaggerate.

And I don't think calling someone a liar because they don't have the same issues as you or others is very productive. That's it.
 
courage everyone healing will come and we will overcome the poison patience, I support you morally psychologically and mentally ✊

Ya people even do well on invega. Personally for me the psych ward was far more traumatizing for me then the meds where. Invega was alot better then psychosis imo

kind of a weird comment imo...

some people definitely get help from anti-psychotics. shouldn't really try to say they aren't for some people... part of me feels like people should be steared away from using them and get more counseling and meditation guidance and stuff to help with their issues, but that doesn't always work and some people just stay more sane with anti-psychotics and for some it stops them from hearing unwanted voices which can't always be dealt with using just will power... they really aren't all bad. people respond to them all completely differently it seems, so what's good for one person might not be good for another.

i personally noticed zero side effects from my haldol injections other than lack of sex drive... but honestly, that and zyprexa did nothing to get rid of my voices.. i was on court ordered treatment, so getting rid of the voices wasn't really what i wanted... but still, i hear some people get terrible side effects from haldol, and it works for some people with out a lot of side effects... personally risperdal pills will get rid of my voices. if i ever get cursed with some bad string of voices, i'd like it if i had the option to take it... i personally think risperdal is pretty relaxing to take too.. idk... don't be too strong against medication. i'm not saying anyone should or shouldn't be taking it.

i see what the posters against meds are saying that if you aren't noticing short term effects, there could be long term effects.. i totally see where they are coming from, but some people just get in really bad situations with their mental health and the meds help... however, people can be drugged with meds and still experience the same dellusions, so i'm kind of against court ordered treatment.. like for a while i was forced to take pills and i thought authorities were watching my house through x ray vision to see if i'd take the pills and when i did that they were turning off some radio frequencies that was making me hear voices. i was still really upset with people thinking they were pranking me even though i was medicated. it took me a couple years of thinking i was being fucked with by the police with some type of radio technology until i just realized that it was my mind and went along with the thought process i had my whole life that couldn't've been radio waves by any human technology.. a lot of those doctors and stuff don't pay attention to when people are that paranoid, and they think the meds are just gonna clear up that paranoia. it definitely doesn't always do that.. i've got a lot of qualms with the mental health systems through out the world, from what i know definitely america at least... but anyways, i've definitely met and read about these drugs which you all hate helping some people.

I was comfortable in solitary confinement without medication, I thought I was in prison, I told them to let me do my sport in peace, I didn't bother anyone, he forced me to take medication plus injection.

I hated solitary there wasent even a toilet in there that shit is inhumane. I don't do well with solitary confinement or being pinned down and injected with ativan or whatever. I got thrown in there about 5 or 6 times for shit like fighting security guards

I don't know how that shit is even legal

for me it was the drugs and the injections that were worse. I would have preferred to be confined in prison and spend 5 years in prison and kept all but capacity

it's not normal you only received two injections there are people who received more and found before 2 years, I think you must have taken antidepressants something of the same kind

No, I'm clean of all meds for 3 years. During the first year, I only took very small doses (0.5mg-0.25mg) of benzos which sums up to less than 10mg in one year which is not worth a mention.

it's not normal that you are not 100% recovered I saw a person take 7 xeplion injection at 150 mg recover all it's capacity after 1 year you eat well you hydrate well you drink enough water ? are you sleeping well? Have you at least regained your feelings of hunger or thirst? You don't have a libido but have you regained your morning erection and are you having sexual intercourse? can you reach orgasm? can you be sad happy laugh? THANKS
 
Update: July 1st through July 3rd I fasted "3" days and "3" nights without food and drink. If anyone is wondering how I'm doing or feeling, I'll give you the same answer I gave my Mom June 30th, "I'm perfect, victorious, and relaxed." I love you all. Have a wonderful and blessed day. Peace and love!

P.S. It's so amazing fully feeling my emotions. I feel so true, and you will, too.

"Happy" 4th of July. It's 12:34 a.m.
