Only way I can rationalise me suffering for the next oncoming months- is to think of it as a prison sentence. What the heck possibly harder than one, (unless you’re injected with antipsychotics) and in prison.

In Australia low tierr prisons, yoga classes, gym, library and free education! You can keep yourself busy. While on this injections I’m struggling cognitively to read a simple crime novel! I hope my month four at the very least I regain my intellectual faculties as this is torture.

That’s exactly how I see it. A prison sentence, where your body is the cell. One day we will be free again.

At least we get to suffer in the comfort of our own homes, it’s a very real reality that some people experience this while in prison. That’s a next level hell.

I feel trapped, but I’m able to see a little light but it’s far away. It looks like I can grasp that light just a little bit in the next few months and then after more waiting- step in it completely.

Or I’m just being deceived and I’m becoming too romantic. The uncertainty about recovery is almost exclusively conducive with invega. I’ve played with many narcrotics- fuck I’ve even tried meth once and day to day living is just as hard if not harder coming off/or one being under the effects of invega.

I was suicidal for six months but since coming off it the suicidal ideation is gone. Progress there at least.

Yeah there are people shot up with antipsychotics in all Australian prisons. I worked once upon a time with them. They suffer much more.

They also don’t get to say “no” they just keep getting more shots, they can’t even think about recovering. It just gets worse for them.

What was the reason for them revoking your CTO? I can’t remember if you said. Did they think you would stay on the meds?

It was meant to be for 12 months but I had it revoked because I was compliant from the start. It was revoked after my fifth injection- I willingly got the sixth then I contacted my friend who is a doctor in his 70s. I told him I need help and want to get off this drug and he helped me make a case for myself, while he was present backing me up making arguments of the negative effects it had on me. I had him present at the appointment because if I verbalised I wanted to stop invega they would just put the CTO back on me. Basically it ended up being concluded I’ll take 10mg of olanzapine at night and I can get off invega. I agreed to the terms. Zyrpexia/olanzapine doesn’t give me any negative effects and helps me sleep. Invega broke my sleep.

Many people report sleeping for 12+hours on it, but I got chronic insomnia from invega. I’ve had akathisia for 6 months which is finally now easing a bit from invega. Doctor wouldn’t prescribe anything to help me and blamed my “adhd” but the restlessness from invega and adhd is different because you have an inner torment feeling with the invega.

Back when I was on invega I had almost total insomia and wished I was one of those people complaining they sleep too much lol.

That’s crazy they can just stick you back on the CTO in Australia. Here in the UK once its revoked you are free.

Yep the doctor only needs to see you as a risk and can put you back on it. The power they have here. I’m going to be very careful at my appointments. My last appointment I was one month exactly from my last dose and my psychiatrist said I should be clear of invega by now and should be better! This is what I’m dealing with.

They can’t find a cure for something without tons of funding and research and care.

The cure does not exist because there’s not enough money to create an antidote. They don’t care.

They don’t have to create an antidote, they already have drugs that increase dopamine and sensivity of dopamine, I’m sure they also have drugs that increase all others receptors, it’s only hard to get them because usually doctors and psychiatrists don’t belive us because they think we are delusional.

But it seems that these dude from the university belive me…

The negative effects of olanzapine could be masked by the invega, just making you aware. It’s true some people don’t experience negatives with some antipsychotics but it’s still a dopamine blocker. So be careful with it. It may prolong recovery/limit it.

But if it’s helping you sleep thats good, sleep is when the body and brain repair. Maybe when you feel better you can try without it. Just a suggestion. Unless you need it to control psychosis.

They don’t know what they are prescribing.

he was trying to prescribe me anti depressants while on invega saying they will make me feel better. Luckily I knew the reality- that invega would just block them from working. I plan on supplementing Saint John’s wart four months in my recovery. Closest thing to anti depressants I’ll take.

Anti depressants can cause PSSD that can last years. Avoid at all costs.

To stop them from wanting to prescribe you more drugs you could just fake you are doing better. They can’t help you anyway, they did this to you.
 
Yesterday and today i noticed that my ankle that was hurting in the past 7 months just improved a little bit like its starting recovery very slowly, like if my night sleep is starting to be very little restorative, idk, hope this is the case honestly because the key is restorative sleep, idk..
