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

[IOSIP]

@IOSIP
You would be surprised. I'm not off at all. I've been consistently on imvega trinza for the past 2 years +.

I tried many times (since 2014) to get off imvega sustenna but I kept ketting manic and getting into trouble that they threw me back in the hospital and forced me on it.

So I haven't been trying to get off it for the past 2 years but I decided that if I was going to be on it I gotta do something else to feel like a normal person. So I overpowered my body with LOTS of supplements and I drink some herbal tea every night and now, even while I am on invega I'm doing better than most people who are not on any medication. And I believe that I've got my own efforts in getting out of the rut that I was in is to be thanked.

I am now shedding light to people that it's okay to be on meds and you can do something about it to make you feel better.

Perhaps, as I realise this thread is about coming of paliperidone, that maybe I should stop posting here because I don't want to play devils advocate. But I do want to help people and also see them recover from the I'll effects of this drug.

If you are watching and enjoying my videos, here's one where I talk about my story and why i refused taking my meds for the most part since I got my diagnosis and how I needed up having a change of heart:-



And there's this one too



Wish you the best of luck, feel free to PM me for anything and I would love to know how things play out with you.

I'm glad that your doing OK.did you ever deal with restlessness or akathisia?

 

[IOSIP]

I wonder how many people actually kill themselves because of this medication because I bet it's not a small number.

 

[InvegaAnon]

I'm glad this medication worked out for you, but invega is not good for many people. Are you on a lower dose of Trinza? How do you feel about it messing up your hormones and aren't you scared it's going to make you infertile or in a permanent state of low testosterone? Because that's what happens when someone is on invega for a long time, they end up infertile.

A lot of people in this thread aren't even schizophrenic. A lot of people are either mildly bipolar or misdiagnosed.

Hello guys, do you wake up during the night??

 

[IOSIP]

During my psychosis i blew up relationships with my doctors and psychs now im left with no connections and no help for my anxiety im suffering so greatly im afraid of what im going to do when i run out of anti anxiety meds.

 

[IOSIP]

My life couldn't be in a worse state right now suicide is looking like a genuine option for me i just wish I had the courage to do it.

Had 5, am worried about this. No improvement so far, plus semen a funny color. Scary ass drug

Does time move at a snails pace for everyone else ? It feels like all in do is wait for time to slowly pass so that I may get to bed time. I go to bed at 7pm and before then I have 14 hours of nothing. Nothing at all but suffering

Yes in perspective of healing it is less than snail but when it comes to wasting your time, it is so fast.

I had liquid semen like water then like yellow lumps and it returned to normal now it comes back don't worry it's true that it's scary.

@zack365: you don't want to abandon your career path, you want to adapt to what has been done to you. when you are healed, you can resume your career path. healing comes first in all aspects of your life right now. you are more active than some and that's a good thing. about half are active and half are not. poison is one of the ultimate divisions. it will show you things about yourself that you wouldn't normally think of. your subconscious will do a bit more work for you than you used to in the past. let it take care of you, your body knows what to do too. the heart and soul seem non-existent but if you believe in these things, they'll help you too.

everything is temporarily taken away from you, when you're completely healed you'll be back to the way you were before the Xeplion. promise. just as those who came before you have completely healed. this mountain range looks very peaceful. take a picture while you're here and once you're completely healed, come back and enjoy the experience you want now. see if your college credits can be placed for future enrollment or still valid for future use. sorry, i'm tired and at a loss for words. in the meantime, enjoy where you are as much as you can.

watch and pay attention to your different patterns as they develop. part of this is letting things happen so you can adapt to them. the next step is to accept it and then work with the new patterns or cycles. no one who has taken the poison knows what it looks like until they take it (including you) because it was only invented 10 years ago and there has been nothing like it before. you'll learn something new but you'll be capped while you do it. those here are well aware of what they're going through. they can help you along the way. i have to pass out now, i hope. i think i'll be up another hour or two later, but it's a good sign that healing is progressing and still moving in the right direction. (Invegauser is the best)

There's people who were on it for a whole year and their fertility was fine eventually though. Two years looks like the danger zone, and even then people recover their fertility most of the time.

I think doctors don't give a shit that this drug can possibly make people infertile since schizophrenia has a genetic component. But just because someone is carrying schizophrenia genes doesn't mean they will develop the disease and there is no guarantee their children will inherit it. It's covert eugenics. I don't believe there is a conspiracy or anything, it's just the medical community not caring about the bodily autonomy and reproductive rights of mentally ill people.

It's called a "polygenic" disorder, multiple genes contribute to the development of full blown schizophrenia. You can pass those on or not, or your child can end up with such a genetic combination that they don't develop the same disease you have. Autism and ADHD work similarly, there are multiple genes responsible for those and the offspring of people with those disorders may or may not have them. My dad has AuDHD, my mom doesn't. All of my siblings and I are autistic and one of us doesn't have ADHD.

I finished job readiness training with mock job interviews, and I did better than I thought I would.

I'm superficially happy today, but I had a flash of true joy for a moment when I was reflecting on what I did today.

Frankly I had to see my psychiatrist at hp 3 times 1 minutes he diagnosed me psychotic it's only question was do you have black ideas do you hear voices I answer him I have never heard voices which is the truth, I had a temporary psychosis due to the drug cannabis I have no confidence in their diagnosis they take themselves for gods they only repeated to me if you stop the treatment you will relapse, 15 months without treatment and I'm doing better I just have the hatred they wanted to make me sterile obese zombie I hope they will pay for the evil they do.

I'm really happy for you, you deserve it, I'm redoing my CV, I've added on my CV that I've worked as a temp even if it's not true because if I have a blank on my CV it's not going to work for the job.

Especially since before that I had a normal life.

Well, it's 1 a.m. in France, so it's a shame that there's not as much sharing of support etc. on this thread as there is on the older ones, which are all cured. good night.
