Mental Health Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v. 10

InvegaAnon said:
It can take people up to two years to recover from invega sustenna after their last dose. I've seen a few people take that long, some people take only 6 months, some people take a year. I've seen one person take three years and five years. The permanence of pharmaceutical fuckery is uncertain.

All you're doing is scaring yourself by convincing yourself you have irreversible brain damage

Read this very slowly: Trinza takes longer to recover from because it has a longer half life. I've seen people recover from Trinza, but they're less common in this thread because the people who move up to Trinza are most often people who need it and continue to take it.

So people who take Trinza and Hafyera are generally not here. That's unfortunate because if they were, you would see that they also recover.

You are going to be ok, BelieveinGod. I'm not ignoring anything about you, I'm trying to reassure you so you don't fucking kill yourself. I don't think what you're going through is permanent. I got fucking PSSD, which has a much lower recovery rate than an Invega injection and I didn't make it everyone else's problem. I didn't cry about "whaaaa I'm never going to recover!" I certainly didn't tell people they will never recover. I prayed hoping some higher power could hear me and I waited. I didn't doubt the people who recovered before I did. And here I am, comfortable and mentally functional again but not unscathed.

You're walking the path of a weak person. Stop acting like this.

I am on Invega Trinza and I am hoping things start to get better sooner than a year out.

But I know it won’t stay in my body forever.

I just hope the muscle stiffness goes away soon.
 
I wish there was something legally I could do to the people who did this to me. I feel so angry.

In the Canadian legal system it is very hard to sue doctors and win. My brother is a lawyer so i know about about it. It also costs money to sue people hence why i didnt sue the stupid shrink i had in the psych ward who left me with unmedicated psychosis. It would have cost me 300 to file a suit on my own and 150 to get my medical records. Thats not even including the major cost of hiring a lawyer.

However if you lost wages due to being fucked up from invega then you could possibly get some damages from that
 
I am in Australia. It might be different here. The lawyers I spoke to said it was medical negligence and are calling back this week

This drug stole everything from me. I don’t know how to cope with this. I hate this feeling so much I just want it to end. I didn’t ask for this. It’s not fair these doctors are not healing people they’re causing extreme intense suffering. Terrible people. These psychiatrists don’t care about you.

Weed helped me recover. Im 15 months off and very happy rn
 
We have to keep going. Don’t let them win. It’s been eight months for me and I’m not noticing a difference but it can take 1-2 years

I can’t smoke weed anymore it makes me feel terrible. I can’t get a body high.

15 months is too long for me to get through. That’s 10 more months of this. I cant do it

Its almost two years off for me.
Confused bc at 8 months I felt emotions again, not all the way, but good enough in comparison, but similar to aidan on here, after being in the mental hospital and given anti’s and lithium i became numb(tho not like the first four months off numb)
Guys 2 fucking years this this aint real. I keep getting nightmares about invega.
Is recovery still possible after two years off???
I woukd do anything for music again.
 
I know i just posted like the same thing but if anyone has info if tecovery still happens after two years that would b cool. bc at this point my doctor/therapist etc are saying im “deppressed” which all of us on here know thats bs. i never had deppression b4 invega
 
Yeah I can’t stand it when they say that it’s just depression. I know what depression is after seeing my father die and my daughter die and this is not depression.. this is worse
