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

[InvegaInferno]

I was raised by nuns, when I was newborn. They teached me faith.. Now i have a upside down cross on my neck tattoo, because i Lost my faith, my god won’t let all this pain for all these people around the world happen, and if this is his case, he is not more my god.

I respect islam because watching these people on Gaza being blown in pieces by bombs but still have their faith just impressed me a lot.

Raised by nuns seems like an interesting story. Losing faith is like losing myself for me, which is sort of what I feel after being injected. How much time has passed since you've gotten injected?

I don’t know, honestly.. What I know is that after 14 months I’m not a single inch recovered, i only had 2 shots.

I remember how i was before these injections, maybe is because of that i cant tell I’m recovered.

Is recovery going back on how things were before these injections? Or recovery is mostly i don’t remember exactly how i was before but now i can feel emotions and substances, i dint feel them for like 1.5-2 years?

Before these injections, my first cigaret of the day make my head turn and give me almost vertigo, now i smoke 40 a day and i don’t feel them

14 months, 2x Risperdal Consta 50mg + Oral Liquid Risperidone 1ml/die = 111mg exposure in 12 days.

But where did you infer that people only partially recover? Paranoid android for one says he fully recovered. I spoke to another person who said he fully recovered. So i am curious to know why you think there is only partial recovery?

You had 2 shots of risperdal, i dont know how different it is from invega. Maybe recovery is different.

I just have FEAR that I won’t recovery fully, maybe just partially. Life teached me that if i expect things they won’t come and I Will hurt by my wishes.

I learned in the hard way that is better not to expect good things happen, at least i won’t be hurted by expectation.

I came back to the nuns who raised me and prayed with them, nothing..

I've spoken to someone who has recovered after 2 years. Maybe your recovery takes longer, but you're certainly putting more effort than me right now.

Yes we know that some people recover only after 18-24 months, this is the only reason we don’t suicide ourself, because the hope of having back our lifes is keeping all of us alive.

I have read also that st johns wort helps break down invega faster. Although I don't know if that's true or not, a lot of people said it helped them.

Is your fear based on data on how most people recover or just a fear inside you? Based on your experience, do most people fully recover?

There is a case report where they tryed that on a woman with paliperidone inside her body 2.5 years after last injection.

At first help reduce his paliperidone but when they stopped giving this, the paliperidone raised even more how it was before.

We have to look aviable data: people complain for 1-2 years then they disappear, but, why?

Do they just give up and keep going with their damaged life? Do they fully recover and only the memories of what they go trough is traumatizing so they turn that page and never look back? Do they give up ending with suicide?

We don’t know what happen, we know that people who got only some injections just complain for 12-18 months then disappear.

I read a lots of posts where people saying creepy things like “you won’t never recover, but you can have a normal life” or “yes you will heal but you can have lifelong depression because your brain has permanentely damaged”

I also read a lots of topic where people say they recovered after 1 year, or after 14 months, or even after 17 months, one that I remember very well recovered after 22 months.

The fact that not a single health care professionel is telling us “yes you will recover, it just take 2 years” is creepy and we are almost panicking because of that and we fear it is permanent brain damage.

But if it’s permanent brain damage, where are all the people injected before us? Like those who got injected 3,4 or 5 years ago? They are no more complaining, why? They recovered? They suicide? They just accept the fact they had a damaged brain life and it’s ok for them?

Hi Everyone, Inferno here from the Middle East.
I was admitted to the psych ward for nearly a month where I was taking the risperidone pill, was forced to take the injection to get discharged, had another one a week later, then the last one a month after which was on June 22nd.
Basically 3 injections in total all 100mg.
Currently going through all the struggles you're all going through; lack of thoughts, anhedonia, low motivation etc.
Wishing you all recovery and strength through these tough times.

Welcome to the forums, it’s like a renaissance here in this section right now. People joining the conversation

Yeah, SJW gets Invega out of your body faster. It’s a essential component of recovery

Everyone keep typing and chatting in these forums. We have to stay strong together, and continually remind ourselves we aren’t alone.

We are getting more and more people to join the fray, so much activity is a reminder this will continue to happen to people. And there are more who are silently watching these threads daily, who have yet to reach out for the help they desperately need. Keep typing, keep checking up on each other, so we don’t have to lose anymore
