How’s everyone doing? I’m 797 days into my recovery.. it hasn’t been easy but I’ve recovered in ways I thought was previously impossible. Please feel free to PM me or message me on WhatsApp @4244100451 if you have any questions. I believe this is the most difficult thing any of us will ever go through and once you make it out the other side you will be in rare air. I’m thinking about making a discord as well and getting politically involved so no one has to go through the suffering we have all shared. There are no adjectives to explain the pain this injection gives the end user. Please please reach out and know it does get better as someone who was loaded with both rounds of Invega loading doses in a 4 day period.. suffered with 10/10 life threatening akathisia… went from being a top athlete to barely being able to walk down the street .. hyper sexual to not even being able to get it up .. anhedonia that can’t be put into words .. the list goes on and on I’m not going to edit this post it comes from the heart I’m not on the forums much but please feel free to reach out .. let’s all recover together as a whole ☀️

I did IV coke to deal with the anhedonia from abilify injections. It worked for like 5 minutes then i wanted more. Ended up having a seizure from banging to much coke.

Amphetamine would be a safer option but still problematic

It's the only way i would do it. Even the kick from smking crack is so much weaker then IV coke. I started doing bigger and bigger shots and did up to a 1/3rd of a gram in one go a few times. I had a few seizures actually but only one really bad one. That shit is fucking mental
 
My nose is still clogged, but I’m starting to get consistent air through them without using Sudafed for the day so it makes me feel like it’s healing in the background - I’m a month without invega
 
Everyone here is here because they are suffering or have suffered from invega.

What makes me upset is the lack of empathy from some people.

The suffering i experienced early days was absolute hell on earth. Akathisia daily for 3.5 months. It was absolute hell.

Someone on here called me out for my whining. Not going to name names not looking for beef.

But to be honest, what the fuck gives you the right to shame someone on here for spamming about there suffering. Everyone is hoping someone out there will be able to confirm that there suffering will end at some point.

Telling someone to harden the fuck up rather then express how they are feeling on a forum that has the soul purpose of discussing the terrible side effects of this drug is just pathetic behaviour.

People on here are hanging on by a thread. I will never understand why someone needs to take time out of there day to put someone else down for expressing there suffering.

I don't wish this suffering on anyone in this forum. I wish we all never got invega. But people need to remember what the suffering is like in the first 3 to 6 months of these injections.

To be honest some people get lucky others have horrific side effects that isn't be worse then what your side effects were.

All im saying is to anyone out there praying this shit will end. Spamming chat to give them hope I say go for it.

People that have come before should be friendly and supportive to new comers here. Not hostile. People need a place to express there feelings because this shit turns your world upside-down.

I'm not here as much anymore. But when I am id rather tell people about my experiences and give them hope rather then shit on them for there suffering.

Anyways. Hope everyone is doing ok.

Allegedly, in a broader sense, injections are like pills but with pills you can just stop taking them if something goes wrong and be fine in a few days or weeks

Injections is like...if the palmitate they put in your arm just keeps taking invega/xeplion by itself cyclically so you're screwed for much longer (especially if you're just past the loading doses which is equivalent to, like, *a lot* of pills which is why you just take them monthly)

Then there's how substances just hit faster and in a more impactful way when they're directly injected inside you rather than when they're taken orally


I worded it in a very approximate way but it should be a decent answer in case you want to look it up

Whats insane to me is the danger of these injections. Most people here are in a vulnerable state when they are offered these injections.

And your right. Once that injections hits your arm it's like being forced to take your daily pills and no ability to stop.

People clearly to not care enough about others to recognise the sever danger these injections pose.

I was on pills for maybe 2 weeks befoe they shot me up. I was still in psychosis the pills hadn't started working.

In fact it took me 2 weeks after the injections for me to finally feel the crushing weight of side effects and despair. All of a sudden you wake up one day on the roller-coaster from hell that these injections are and there is no off switch.

I've had side effects from so many meds in the past that I often stopped within 3 days of something that truly felt like a bad idea.

With invega. Mostly becuase your in pyschosis it takes an increased amount of time to even know up from down.

All I'm saying is had I taken the pills for long enough there's no way In hell I'd continue taking this posion. Oh well they already stuck the needle in your arm and sent you away.

I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know how to make it out the other side anymore. Life threatening akathisia is also had. It scarred me.

So the injection is like being forced to take your daily pill? That's horrible and the fact you had 2 shots of that stuff made it worse, you're must be going through pain .I hope there aren't any damages done to me especially considering the fact I don't have any issue that required it.
