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

[iridescentblack]

Have you recovered at all in ten years?

Recovery looks different for everyone.

I've made lists of conditions I have to meet to be "100%" recovered. I have exceeded most of them.

Does anyone else have insomnia from zyprexa? I can only sleep 4 hours at a time at night.

Not unless i drink alcohol then i wake up at like daylight. Hence why i willl likely be up tomorrow at like 5

Luckily today was a good day with not much pain.

Might take a bath while I am feeling good and everything.

Never gained weight on it, luckily. I did on Latuda.

That’s a good way to put recovery. I guess you have to define what recovery means for yourself.

I’m desperate to connect emotionally again…. Please… I might be able to hang on for a few months if I can be assured that my ability to connect emotionally to people and music and anime will come back…

Please…

Does anyone have recovery stories? Will I be better by 8 months? It’s been 5.5 and I’ve got 4 shots

A lot of people don't notice a difference until 6-8 months.

I FINALLY HAD A NORMAL FEELING ORGASM.

You are very lucky, the weight gain was the worst part for me!

 

[Invegalobotomy]

Embrace the invega dilemna tho. FR you can now outdrunk anyone. You can’t loose an argument anymore bc the person will get triggered and you won’t…it’s smth i guess

Caplyta 21 mg Prior Authorization was APPROVED!

I am off of Invega officially!

Yes!

Still have to wait for it to clear my system because I had my last injection a month ago but yea.

Has anyone tried Bupropion for help with low dopamine??

I am on Auvelity which is dextromethorphan HBr and bupropion HBr and it helps.

Wellbutrin mostly effects norepinephrine not dopamine. Though it does raise dopamine levels somewhat. Wellbutrin did help me when i had depression years ago but i did get some anxiety from it.

I think it would be worth a shot though.

Agreed. It doesn't really bind to DAT strongly enough, as something like methylphenidate does, but methylphenidate doesn't treat depression and bupropion does. I had a good few years on bupropion. If you want to feel better, I suggest regular exercise, a decent diet, and activities in your community.

When i was on invega and abilify all i wanted was to get back in the previous shape i was in and also to get my sex drive back. Now that i have been off those meds for a few years now not only did i get back in the previous shape i was in but i am in the best shape of my life since i started lifting weights abit over 2 years ago now. I am in better shape at 43 then i was when i was 21 and doing bricklaying.

My sex drive also came back with a vengeance

They paid paranoid android $3 to say this.

All told about a year. However i likely would have recovered sooner if i had not been on latuda which gave me awful akathisia

Lol who paid me? I wish someone would pay me for something lol. Then i might actually have money. I would ask for lot more then 3 fucking dollars though

I think I will consider myself recovered when orgasm feels good again and I’m about to feel music deeply

I think I might have to commit suicide if I don’t feel better by December… a year without progress is enough to tell me I won’t be getting better

edit: actually idk if I’m gonna make it to December… lol this is crazy
