Hi I’ve been lurking these forums and have decided to post because it seems so negative here and it makes me sad, I took 4 injections, my last one being 5 months ago. I decided to stop taking it because I realized I didn’t need to (they made it seem like it was mandatory for at least a little bit) and would just like to be on as few medications as possible.
I don’t feel much different as a person but I do not feel the effects of weed very much, but I never take t breaks so that is most likely the cause.
I wouldn’t say the invega injections changed me, I am upset that I took medicine I may not have needed but I’d rather take a medicine I might not have needed (which isn’t much different from going to the doctor for adhd for example and seeing which med works best) than to be in the state of mind I was before I was in the hospital.
Please do some research into post psychotic depression, both psychosis and depression can physically alter your brain. The way my therapist explained it is that during something as intense as psychosis there can be a scar tissue in your brain that will take some time for you to recover from. As someone who has struggled with depression before the shot as well you really do need to force yourself to do activity otherwise you will always feel bad which is just the harsh truth. I am lucky to be in the position I am in today as I do have support from family and friends, but I would be lying if I said I just waited around doing nothing hoping to get better.
