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

[InvegaInferno]

@rel

A year update. I'm probably healed.Lot of stuff indirectly related to invega happened this year, so I won't say I'm back to the person I was, but symptoms wise I feel like they're all gone.My motivation to do stuff is back, I can feel again and listening to music is enjoyable, my semen is back to normal, lousy general feeling especially when waking up is gone.It's important to point out that in the past 7 months I was mostly a fruitarian. My body is very, very healthy. Strictly vegan, barely eating cooked food, mostly fruits. I eat only when I want something, out of taste and not out of hunger. Despite eating less than 1000 calories/day on average I lost only ~3kg in 7 months, which is good as I'm not looking to lose weight.Also, I exercised almost daily, mostly running 2km and some push-ups and sit-up. Not something too draining, but I was consistent with the running.For those who may remember, I almost committed suicide due to this awful drug. Things were really bad. It's a "miracle" things managed to get better.Hang in there. Help your body help you. Good luck.

An update a year and 4 months later. I'm completely back to normal. No traces of invega whatsoever. Stay positive, healing is possible.

That's good to hear man! Congrats! How many shots did you get and how long has it been since your last shot?

Six total. It's been a while, can't recall, but somewhere around 2 years. A quick update. The drug is completely out of my body and I am free of it for all eternity. It is gone, I am back to normal, everything came back to track, even my mind. I am alert, wise, once more. I am laughing, joking every single day. I have no side effects no more. Eat well, stay healthy, and use whatever means you can to hold on tight while it is getting out of the system. I thought I was going to die on Invega every single day, glad I made it

It was a crazy flood of people in a span of 1-2 days it wasn’t a slow trickle up to where we are now. It’s crazy, just yesterday or one of the days before we had 9-10 pages of activity.

New victims will keep occurring that’s why making documentaries/ documents to revisit are so important because we can advise those to come and warn those who are close to being afflicted by this poison

does that data suggest people are getting injected more frequently recently?

Anyway seeing my friends hang around, having fun, living life and going with girls, while i’am struggling with surviving made me realize that there is no point in keep this going on, i will go with assisted suicide in my country, i don’t have to take it and suffer, I already took this shit for 14 months.

Don’t want to bring any negativity to anyone, I’m just saying that there is no point on watching people around you keep living a nice life while you are only suffering and hoping for a miracle.

We are grown man and we have to face reality of life and keep dreaming of “one day it all came back like nothing is happened” is more likely a child dream or wish.

Keep updating about suicide procedure, hoping they give that to me even if I’m young.

Go see a holistic doctor, and get on @cmf77

Supplement regiment. The truth is nobody is prepared to help us, except ourselves. Just the other day you said it’d be 3 years before you’d give up for your cat. Today you’re talking about immediately finding a way to check into assisted suicide.

Cmf77 is the only person I’ve seen be stuck in a severely bad situation for months on end, and get out of it using supplements. Your situation is especially bad, since Consta leaves the body in 6 days. You should’ve been good within 3 months my man. Unlike Invega which stays in the body for an average of 40 days. Which takes about 7-8 months to fully leave the body, leaving some more months of recuperation

Too limited in scope to say, most people who recently joined where long-time lurkers who just began their recovery journey and thus decided to join into the fray of conversation. It just suggests our activity has some prominent effect on drawing people in, this place would be less likely to get new members if it was a ghost town. But it’s had a consistent 6 members to lean on, which now seems to be closer to 12

can confirm, was lurking from time to time before I decided to join. The journey is lighter when you have people with you that can understand and relate to what you're going through. took me time too, because the first initial month of the injection doesn't make you want to interact with anyone especially with the lack of thought, feeling of death (suicidal thoughts), and struggling to communicate.

 

[InvegaInferno]

Second month I was extremely suicidal where they had to hospitalize me again. man i never thought that I'd go through something like this, I had suicidal thoughts before for brief moments of anger and sadness but never to the extent of wanting to die for days and weeks on end. Thankfully, these thoughts have lessened, now I just feel numb rather than despair.

 

[Invegatorture]

Be careful they can still administer the drugs to you while in prison. They use antipsychotics in prison as well.

What if in the mean time I show I don’t need APs? I highly doubt I will become psychotic again if I avoid drugs.

It’s a hard decision to make. I don’t even know if I’m going to court yet. And if I do that could be ages away. My current mind set is I would rather risk prison with a healthy brain than carry on like this. Prison isn’t even a guarantee.

I’m going to continue to engage with the mental health team and do CBT.

What’s your opinion @Trueart2. I between a rock and a hard place with this. I don’t want to be permanently damaged by meds.

What are you stressed about, if CTO is suspended you can refuse treatment as u are no longer legally binded by a CTO. I don't recommend pissing them off but tell them you want pills instead and just never take those pills.

 

[Invegatorture]

The last 9 months of injections has drained me. I don’t think I have the strength to keep going then just end up on a court order.

I was also injected for 9 months it was the worst times of my life. At the end I just called my nurse and told her i dont want to see her anymore for injections and to fuck off. She threatened me but in the end she and the psychiatrist couldnt say shit as im no longer on a CTO ( my CTO was a little different )

Thankyou. I will probably do this. Good idea

 

[Deleted member 592081]

I'm starting to question whether I had blank mind before invega . My memory is so fucked that I cant even remember if i had an inner voice.

 

[lukeflowz]

Is there anyone that’s came of injection and started taking their pills and it helps them sleep and they need it ????

Yes, I take olanzapine at night time. Invega fucked up my sleep. I still wake up a few times a night but I wouldn’t get any sleep without it. I don’t notice any negative effects from it either. My only issue is this invega.

He’s right if the CTO is ended you don’t have to take it. But I thought you were still legally required to take them for some other reason.

If there’s no legal binding that compels you to take the medicine don’t take it, but if there is; Take it.

If you end up going to prison they’ll look at your past records and end up putting you back on medication cause they’ll view you as unstable. Or you’ll get thrown into a psychiatric ward for months where you’ll be put on medicine. Remind me once again if you are legally bound to take it now or not. When I read the post that precedes all of these I read it as you still had to take the medicine because of some legal protocol. Now that your CTO is over you can start talking about the dangers of this drug to your psychiatrist(if you’re still going back- which generally if not necessary I don’t advise). Show them the forums, show the grief people are going through and explain this could be the rest of your life and for these reasons I won’t be continuing the medicine.

The better alternative if you have no legal recourse for not taking the medicine is to just not go back to the psychiatrist in any way. Those quacks have lots of power.

Keep posting guys, stay alive.

Now that my CTO is over I am not legally bound to take any medication.

I am currently waiting for a court date for violence while in hospital/psychosis as they are pressing charges.

The consequence of not taking medication further is my psychiatrist won’t be able to help me stay out of prison/psychiatric hospital if I get sentenced. He said he would get me on a court order instead so I can stay in the community.

As you said they will put me on meds if I get locked up anyway so maybe my best course of action is to continue with medication so atleast I can stay home and control my diet and sleep well which is important for recovery.

I can feel half of a regular sized can of beer and I thought I wouldn't. I don't like being drunk so I dumped the other half. That is how much I can feel alcohol.

 

[InvegaAnon]

Yeah it told me the same, then it became 8-10 months. Then it became 10-12 months. Then it became 12-14 months. Now is telling me that it take 14-24 months.

Then in order to understeand if ChatGPT know the truth i told him I’m 24 months since my last injection and told me it take 36 months.

Then i told him i was 36 months since my last injections and it told me it take 5 years

Then I uninstalled ChatGPT.

Good, it doesn't give you facts. Just tells you stuff it predicts you want to hear.
