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

I don’t have faith that I will recover. Four injections is more than a lot of folks on here and there are people who haven’t recovered in 2 years.
I’m suffering so badly I have chronic fatigue and depression from this I can’t do it. I’m so sick of living this way.
 
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

Monsters. That’s what these psychiatrists are.
 
So has anyone actually researched anything to
Hey guys I just wanna let you all know that June 1st was officially 1 year since those god awful life sucking Injections, and I can really say I enjoy living again.
Do you feel normal hunger signals and do you consistently listen to music?

I am interested to know this too. I don’t have hunger or thirst and I am a musician and can’t even hear music anymore.. it’s just noise. Does this get better?
 
10 years off Invega Sustenna as of the end of last month. My time off is in addition to other antipsychotics that have been in my system since then, like Vraylar, which may have postponed my recovery. Just stating that bit because I keep getting asked.

Have you recovered at all in ten years?
 
According to this site I should have 475 days since my last injection (last month, May 8th) until most of the drug is out of my body.


I hope I start to feel better before then!
 
Does anyone know if anything can help with muscle stiffness/pain from antipsychotics?

Like can yoga help? Or muscle relaxers?

OTC painkillers do nothing to help.
 
Im sure yoga can help you. I don’t feel pain anymore from these neurotoxins. I would do yoga religiously before having being forced them. Magnesium and yoga will help you

People don’t understand what it’s like to be violated in this way… I don’t think I’ll ever recover from this. Beyond the fact that it may live in my body forever I am deeply traumatized.
 
Me too. Please anyone with recovery stories are you there????

It's very weird that it does that. I'm a very introspective person, but that was taken away from me. But now I feel introspective and self aware again. I feel like I don't think as much as I used to and that troubles me.

I'm not numb in any sense of the word, but I'm not normal. A bit dulled, but on the near normal side. It sucks because I was very emotional and I knew myself so well. It's like I'm getting to know myself as a different person. Yet, I still don't think it's permanent because I see incremental improvement every couple of weeks. I'm suffering from PSSD exclusively now.
Did you lose your hunger and thirst too or feel like your nervous system was disconnected from your body/brain? I’m so glad you are recovering
 
We have to keep fighting. Does anyone know where @fenec went? Please come back buddy and give us some hope. Anyone else with recovery stories from invega abilify or haldol?
Hi friends yes it's going much better physically psychologically it was the worst ordeal of my life I'm almost at 100% but I still have weight to lose but everything's better now libido all the suffering and gone the unpleasant sensation to the brain left side and gone but energy level still not like before well it depends on the day but the truth I feel 100 times better since I stopped I'm no longer at home in my bed staring at the ceiling, I'm going out and doing activities. I'm planning to go back to work in September.
