I wish you were right but unfortunately it's just pills to mask the sensations of anxiety it won't stop the pacing. I took 5 x baclofen tablets today 25mg and then just lay in bed not moving it was great. But now im up the pacing is back. As soon as I'm alert the pacing comes back.

Let some girl hug you it will help
 
Akathisia I've tried, lyrica and baclofen, theu just help me sleep and alleviate the anxiety. I've tried benzos again just alleviate the anxiety, benztropine does nothing, clonidine does nothing.

I'm fucked ill be better off dead this is genuinely hell I can't believe I've done this to myself.

Appreciate your feedback paranoid android but trust me there is no magic bullet for this. I can only pray it gets better with time.

I had a 100mg 2 month injection of risperidone 5 months ago. Been dealing with very similar side effects as invega. The two that are very concerning are i have pseudo Parkinson's and TD symptoms. All the side effects appeared 3 months ago very abruptly

What are the parkinsons and td symptoms? How long have you had them for?
 
Why is life so cruel? I keep wishing I could wake up from a nightmare. Yet I don't I'm still living in reality where I have chronic akathisia and anhedonia from paliperidone. Worried to grow old poor and disabled.

There is nothing to do all day every day but pace my house. How can I live like this? How can they do this to people? My life is ruined and my dad thinks galking to someone will help me.

Talking to someone may indeed help. It's worth a shot. I tried it a bit. It's not like one session is great and fixes everything, but it helps over many sessions to get a perspective on how your recovery is going.

For me the side effects also took a while to kick in, 2 months or so maybe 3.

Risperidone and invega are basically the same thing btw

Hey man I feel you 100%. It does get better. Just need to make it through each moment and onto the next. Tell yourself you will get better, you don't have to believe it but try to tell yourself everyday multiple times. I had to do that a lot when I was going through the suicidal phase. I'm sorry you're suffering.

I can't remember your response but did you try weed or CBD? I'm not sure if it will help to be honest but if it does, it could offer relief

It won't help, they won't be able to stop this pacing and anhedonia. It's a waster of time. My brain in broken. I just want to die. I can't believe I'm 38 and broken.

Everything is a waste of time in this state. It's not a terrible idea to speak to someone. No-one will force you. I was reluctant as well but it helped just that tiny bit. Recently I bailed on an appointment and haven't booked another since. But it had it's benefits while I was attending.
 
My body shakes when i flex or use a muscle. Lots of jaw and lip movement. Anyone have this and improved

I had head spasms, jaw movement and tongue movement. Went away quickly, within few months. Muscle still feel fucked though, really weak and takes forever to recover from anything.

Ok good i am very worried about permanent TD at the moment but it seems like it will subside

Is yours constant? Or more like a cluster of bursts? Both my pacing and involuntary movements came in bursts spaced out throughout the day

The worst comes at every half life. The muscle weakness is constant while the facial movements come in bursts
