Mental Health Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v. 9

[TonyTonyChopper]

How did your friends know you had psychosis, i dare not tell anyone i had mine. Also do you have emotions now? I know you can still feel hunger that’s a plus

my bitch sister told them im going through psychosis and to avoid me cuz i kept leaving the house. I dont know why but that scared them and we went from hanging out every weekend to seeing each other once a year randomly at a store. And no emotions but my hunger signal is strange, like i can go a whole day without eating and my brain wouldn't know if i ate or not but if i cycle or do something physical i get a little hunger which leads me to overeat and gain weight

I gleaned this information from reading the Rx drug monograph, my personal experience with Invega, and things my current and next to current psychiatrists have said.

As it turns out this $3,500.00 per month shot is targeted towards reducing recidivism among incarcerated individuals - either people at risk for either going back to jail or the psych ward. (I fall into the latter category.)

I suspect but cannot at this time prove that it is because Invega is pro-estrogenic, thus the gynecomastia, reduced aggression, reduced sex drive, and so forth.

Still, I don't see much benefit on a per cost basis that Invega has over oral Risperdal.

I have more erogenous feeling and I actually feel aroused when I masturbate! Nothing is as strong as it should be, but EVERYTHING IS PRESENT.

I feel like the old me is just beneath the ice instead of at the bottom of the frozen lake. I can see them. I'm waiting for the thaw.

It's NOT "pro-estrogenic", it is anti-all sex hormones. The problem lies in it raising prolactin levels too high.

Hey, you say the r-slur a lot and you need to stop. It is a slur and there are people in this thread it has been flung at. At least stop writing it here.

No one knows how bad I feel except for some of you guys. I hate that everyone keeps saying “I think you’re getting better, you just can’t see it”. No, I’m not getting better because I’m so sick of living everyday being discontent with life.

 

[InvegaAnon]

I am 24.5 months off and I will say I'm like 50% recovered. Some people here actually go beyond the 2 year mark which sucks really bad. I'm scared of @dirtyinvega who says 7 years and no recovery.

It's tough living like this, with all the fatigue and this artificial weight gain.

Hey, since you're not going through withdrawal or anything could you leave the thread? You'll scare newcomers. I think maybe there should be a thread for longhaulers and people who didn't recover.

 

[InvegaAnon]

Why should I leave the thread? Please don't be authoritarian towards long term sufferers.

I'm reporting my experiences and I'm not experiencing withdrawal. I'm experiencing nasty effects of these drugs and I have not recovered in over 2 years.

It's not my goal to scare people. I didn't get "scared" when I read @dirtyinvega 's comments.

This thread is for people who just got off of the drug.

I found the accounts of longhaulers to be really distressing. Having a concentrated presence of people with longer-term and permanent effects in this thread will give the impression that it is more likely one won't recover when that isn't true. Recovery is very likely. This is the only place for recovery from invega, it should be safe for people who are recovering. You need a space of your own.

Maybe taking vitamins can help out tremendously and natural homeopathic remedies. It can be researched or at least the harmless ones that you can look into.

However, it really can't hurt to research all kinds of vitamins. Vitamin D cured my depression immediately. Well I still have it but it is not as crippling and severe. It was due to health reasons. I needed to strengthen my bones. And then everything seems connected with systemic care and metabolisms.

Vitamins and Minerals are so Essential to the human condition. And to overcome sickness. At least give it a try.
I am not on invega/xeplion but I do know taking vitamins on a daily basis can help with many things. And continuously.

Sometimes we get depleted because of toxins and contamination in the world. And stress related situations of health issues of course.

I can't stress enough the importance of boosting the metabolic system and aiding the body's recovery from chronic conditions that plague a big part of the world today . . . with natural health remedies. Specifically all natural vitamins and essential necessary minerals. Specifically vitamins and minerals.

It is a stressful life in the quest for survival. A lot of things compromise our body and lifestyle. Vitamin and Minerals are essential in specific timeframes and situations and just for growth in general.

There is much research out there for: the human body and its ability to achieve natural healing via the benefits of natural remedies and supplements.

I was knocked off line for a bit and when I got back on this thread caught my eye. So when I am not feeling well, I start thinking of looking into cures and possibilities too.

Try revitalizing and rejuvenating the body with vital vitamins and minerals. And a proper diet away from toxins and food additives that are poisoning the body also.

Yes I know that invega/xeplion may be for more challenging but this critical health news can be extremely helpful also with pretty much any health challenge, mental health issues, and immune or auto-immune illness.

So possibly try or look into the critical health challenge of vitamins and essential minerals and proper nutrition for healing as well.
It is a big important part of it all. And keep up the challenge with being the healthiest that you can possibly be for healing and staying strong then. We do not get enough vitamins from food alone.

I know that vitamins aren't going to cure everything but it is a big part of it. Especially looking into minerals with the essential vitamin packs.

Sorry for the rant but I am just saying when you start to do the research it can be so incredibly helpful and necessary in the aid for healing and imperative at times for a huge impact.

Stay on the path and always stay hopeful. You can and you will if you don't give up.

yeah theres this guy i wont mention hsi name but he was active in version 4 like 4 years ago and reported huge month to month improvements yet he comes back here 4 years later and says he barley recovered. If I didn't read his comments in v4 i would have been scared shitless and been depressed but I agree that this thread should be more for people who got off invega in the last a year maybe 2 and anyone else should either give hope of recovery or dont say anything at all.

I've been hearing some voices before falling asleep and after waking up from sleeping since finishing the loading dose on March 15th. I barely heard voices before getting injected and they were friendly in particular but now they are quite rude. I don't know what to do or where to go about this. I hope Invega didn't create a more serious condition. Is anybody else going through this?

I am in the 2+ year club. No full recovery, but there are some improvements.

I want a full recovery though.

My main issues right now are

(1) feeling very heavy and

(2) fatigued along with

(3) 32 lb weight gain (in that order).

(4) My penis is also numb and orgasm is much less pleasurable. I have no libido.

(5) I also feel a bit dull with head pressure.

These are my problems and it is now month 24.5, which sucks. I want to lose the weight because my old pants don't fit. Can't button them.

Hello, how many injections did you take? dyrtinviga take antidepressants, I am 10 months old and I consider myself 50% cured

 

[InvegaAnon]

I honestly can't believe you are for real. I'm not trying to take away anyone's hope, I am just reporting my experiences. This thread goes off topic so many times with useless comments. My input is far more valuable than those, and even yours. You need to stop doing what you're doing.

You can report your experiences, just don't camp here.

damn you hear voices, that fookin sucks. Most of us don't hear voices as our psychosis stems from drug use not schizophrenia, well mine atleast.

Many are looking for answers. Many are wondering how to overcome Invega. Perhaps you want to know what works and what doesn't. In this message I will educate you regarding these things.

Semen retention is a mask. It gives an ostentatious appearance of healing. You may not have yet fully recovered. As sexual function improves, semen production increases. Because of faster production, days, weeks, or months of retention may deceive you into thinking you've made large progress. Larger ejaculate loads return to smaller loads. In other words, semen volume decreases significantly as you ejaculate regularly. [or frequently]
If you're like me, before Invega, you could masturbate daily and had no sexual dysfunction. Semen volume was always substantially visible. So, in some cases, semen retention can be called a hoax.

According to a user on the "schizophrenia.forum", taking magnesium, zinc, and "Mucuna pruriens" cured his sexual dysfunction. He claims he suffered sexual dysfunction over 9 years, due to a hormonal imbalance (after taking and coming off Invega), which the aforementioned corrected. "Hopefuldopeful", on the bluelight.org website, Coming Off Invega thread, version three, basically said Mucuna was responsible for his drastic improvements in the sexual department. "Semenax" should also be considered, whether or not you have sexual dysfunction.

Gang-stalking harassment has been directed my way throughout this entire Invega experience. Exercise patience. Be not bound to time. Don't get caught in sin. Learn to win.

Be with God even.
Daily live in heaven.

Peace and Love!

P.S. Please, I beg you, don't despair. I implore you not to give up. Remember Donnie Yeshuah's statement, on page 108, version 3, of Coming Off Invega: "God never creates only the dark side of this human experience. He always leaves a door open." He didn't say he sometimes leaves a door open. He said he ALWAYS leaves a door open. But you have to look into and go through, to see or experience the victory, the remedy, to escape the misery.

Yea bro… I didn’t know that sounds like the pills combined with the injection messed you up worse but Ik you will recover soon can’t wait!

Did you figure out what the recovery method was from Lifeline that he got from Yeshuah(Donnie)? If you do know it, could you tell me please?

guys did u get back the beauty in life after u recovered? i used to see the world in a specific way but not after the injections

I just want to remind you guys that I was injected in September of 2022. I had two of the loading doses. I have completely healed. I’m working on living with emotions again. I still have nights where my sleep is different. I slept eight hours last night. I had deep sleep. The night before I woke up after three hours of sleep. I went back to sleep one hour later. I slept for six hours straight. I don’t complain about some irregular days. I am just glad to sleep again. I just want to encourage all of you that healing is possible. My discharge anniversary date from the mental hospital is coming up. I will make sure to celebrate that day every year going forward. I have a new lease on life because of it. The medication should be banned. The healing journey for me was a living nightmare. I survived. All is well. I have healed. I want to write a book sharing my testimony. I will include a Rip place in it for BOJANA. I do feel like I failed her. She asked me to call her so many times. I tried and couldn’t get through on the WhatsApp. I do think of her often. I’ll always keep our text messages between each other. I spend time praying for her and other people that have ended their lives early because of this wicked stuff. I’ll be back often to serve as a reminder to never give up. I have healed. I try to thank GOD daily for restoring my health. My inbox is always open. I might take a few days to respond because my life is busy and at times hectic. I will respond back no matter what. Take care of you guys, your whole being.. MENTAL, PHYSICAL, SPIRITUAL, and EMOTIONAL parts of you. Push forward by pouring love into yourselves and one day you’ll realize that you too have healed. Once I stopped focusing on the negative experiences that I experienced and started living again I started to heal. I am free from the suffering that I suffered because of INVEGA. I AM LIVING AGAIN

Psychological has influence on the physical recovery process, so I never focus on the suffering experience and recommend doing the same.

It improves over time, it's also reflected by how much you care about things.

I'm a rare case just many other people are too so it's fair comment to say we should a different thread for "longhaulers" I love how people just don't believe the long term/longhaulers people who are still suffering and just say "Quotes" from years and years ago like some of the quotes are from like 5 years ago and I don't take them anymore. Everyone is different everybody body is different some people recover at different rates or not at all it's like saying the people who suffer from long COVID are full of crap if that makes sense.

hello how many injections did you take? Has your libido returned? are you taking any other medications during your
