Hey guys. What kinda voices were you hearing when off medication. I was hearing God Mary and Jesus and angels and all. What about the rest of you.

Never heard voices. Just delusions and paranoia about people hearing my personal thoughts.
 
Ok folks, today is officially the 16 month mark since my last invega injection. As some of you may know I had the most injections out of anybody on here, most had the loading doses only but I had 10 invega and 3 haldol + 2 weeks worth of olanzapine pills. So how am i doing after 16 months? well not great... Many symptoms still remain till this day which idk how its possible as most of the invega should be out of my system by now. I suffer from low motivation , low energy, anhedonia, lack of interest in anything, fatigue, blank mind, no thoughts, weak strength , tiredeness , bad concentration/attention span , poor memory. Yup all these side effects remain 16 months later so what improved? Well im certainly less drowsy than when I was on invega im more responsive and awake . I also dont sleep 14 hours , its down 9-10 now. Thats the only improvement I saw. despite the anhedonia I still listen to music, watch tv shows, play video games, go for walks because its easier to kill time but they give me no satisfaction or pleasure. Sad reality is that if you had as many injections as me , you probably atrophied ur brain causing some serious damage which will take YEARS to recover from

I doubt we gonna recover from this.
 
As I fight through these last few waves of Invega (and Vraylar)--through constant energy work--I can sometimes feel the injection sites of both my deltoids. A pain similar to that of coming home after a booster shot, or a needle going in far enough to make contact with bone, it seems strange to think that this is the actual sensation that is going through my nerves.

"Could there be some mistake?" I think to myself, but there is probably no mistaking it; the coincidence of both my deltoids lighting up with these dull pains, roughly in the same areas as I was given these injections, having switched from right arm to left and so on for the 13-15 months I was given this drug, if it is a coincidence it is a very bizarre one at that.

you gotta reach out to people and join activities that force you to meet new people. Reach out to old friends , call family you haven't talked to. Reddit is a cool place to meet ppl from ur city.

I don't have experience with alcohol but im assuming it masks the problem, quit it while you can as abusing it can give u all sorts of problems that invega has like anhedonia. It is literlly poison thats why the bartender says " pick your poison" it literlly is.

Switch meds and try low carb to lose the weight

I am already on a new med and I am waiting for the Invega to clear my system.

I am also working with a weight loss Doctor as well.

They said if you don’t eat carbs your liver (or some other organ) makes sugar and that can make your A1C go up.
 
Are we allowed to discuss methods of detoxing from Invega injections on this thread as long as it’s not detoxing with drugs?

I want to ask about saunas and if those could help. @paranoid android
