My nose keeps blocking it’s so bad
Decongestants only come in clutch for about a hour or two then my nose goes back to blocked! I can’t have fun anymore, or peace even

Yeah it gets easier overtime , I was so uncomfortable on the injections and was suicidal but after I quit it, it slowly started getting more manageable and now it doesn't bother me anymore. Don't get me wrong I still have lots of side effects but I had gotten used to them by now . Anhedonia especially was unbearable at the beginning but now I've learned to accept it.

Yeah I hope it doesn't get extended , they didn't extend mine only because it was my first CTO but if you are on ur 2nd or 3rd CTO then chances are not in your favor. Why don't you ask your family to help you relocate to another city and escape this CTO? Idk what country you are in but if you get a job and move to another city, you can rent a room for cheap and wait out for 1 year while the mental health team leaves you alone . Personally I'd get out of your city , more injections are not worth it and prolong your recovery time.

Thanks for your response. I’m in the uk so unless I leave the country I can’t escape. My parents won’t help me and want me to ride it out. Unfortunatly I have no one who can help me dissapear for long enough. This is my second CTO so yeah odds are not good.

Yeah UK , Australia and my country Canada are notorious for handing out CTOs like candy. If you don't comply or show up they use it as a reason to extend it, sadly your best hope is to comply and show eagerness to take the injections. After a while you can even ask to take pills by making up excuses that say the injections cause soreness and pain . You don't have to fully leave the country just get as far away from your parents and the mental health team. I know it is much easier said than done but thats one option, you got this bro keep ya head up 🙏

Thankyou mate. I hope you get back to your normal self. I believe its possible but will take a long time.
 
Has anyone who recovered managed to lose the weight they gained on Invega? I gained almost 30 lbs and I haven’t lost any of it. Do I have to wait until it’s completely gone and then let my metabolism come back?
 
How can anyone manage to live like this? I can't imagine living like this for a year.

I AM NOT A MORON

I say those who want to complain about the symptoms they are experienced and the pain they are in. If you sound like a broken record who cares. Have some empathy people. Everyone reacts differently and some people get hell for side effects of this shit. They have no where else to go. Just writing in this forum helped me cope early days. No need for the hostility though.

I’m not sure how they work but maybe you can suggest asking for pills that’s what I done and it worked

On many previous versions of this forum I’ve seen it to be people talking about the same issues, it’s really hard to cope hence why people come here speaking about the same problem.

All I can do is speak about my blocked nose cause maybe someone’s been through the same and overcame it so I need to know people whos been through the same pain that I’m going through now

I just want to be reassured it does get better having a blocked nose there’s a member who’s had it for 9 months
 
I just don’t know what to do the breathing is messing up my entire respiratory system and chest

Not being able to breathe is messing up so many more things
 
I wish there was something I could take to never wake up again. The depression is so intense man I’m not able to cope with it.

I’m just so ashamed and disappointed in myself.

I relate dude,

I opted for the injection cause I thought I never wanted to be in a mental hospital again, it was the worst experience of my life being in there for 40 days.

I’m also not feeling good not just in general but with me cause I went for it. I had no idea or superstition this could be the aftermath
 
I just want to be able to breathe again, it’s like a human right to breathe through your nose without any issues
