Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v11

[Deleted member 592205]

Were you told to practice mindfulness? I was told that by various health professionals. When not under the effect of antipsychotics it can be a good strategy, but after being shot up with Invega it doesn’t seem to work at all.

You have to be “here” in the present, in The Moment, fully aware of what you are doing, at 100% of you perception and cognition by having some sort of effect by doing that. You cannot do mindfulness or meditation with brain damage

I Watch the video, “6months of sympthoms control” but they forgot to add “a lifetime of side effects and permanent effects”.

The Evil behind these big pharma, we are like rats for them.

Almost 2 months in and I’m still feeling the effects of Invega as if I was injected yesterday. I can’t imagine how long you would have to wait for recovery with the six month injection. I’d highly doubt one would recover at all from it.

I’m not recovering 15 months after a “2 week” Injections, i only took 2 of them, let alone recover from a 6 months injection.

Yeah but Guess what? Now is too late. Game over.

Yeah. Exactly. Cruel punishment. It’s actually hilarious to me in a way. When I kill myself I’ll probably die laughing

It feels like that for a long time. To me it still kind of feels like I was just injected with it. And it’s been almost 10 months

for me it’s like everyday They inject me, all these effects just don’t go away at all, they never go away in 15 months, these injections are permanent like if they absorb something from our body and transform that into the risperidone or invega and the cycle keep going like that like if its some sort of nanotechnology that self replicate itself forever day by day

There is no way to still have effects after 15 months, this is permanent brain damage since they told me there was zero risperidone in my blood (or maybe They lied about that) Idk i just learned i cannot trust doctors anymore so idk if they lied to me because they just told me by phone call and i don’t see the result with my own eye.

I hope we heal. Maybe in 12 months you will see some signs. I have no idea how long it will take for me, I just want this akathisia to go. No medication seems to work at controlling it either. I’ve tried proponolol and benztropine but I have had little success. Invega has caused it, but they are now trying to say it’s my ADHD. Restlessness from ADHD actually feels pleasant because you’re excited. (For me at least pre Invega)

A long road ahead for me.

The people who "had beef" with me were the people who were constantly wallowing and scaring everyone on this thread when odds are we have nothing to be afraid of, and they didn't like it when I told them to knock it off. You're actually right that there is palmitate in invega sustenna, I'm the dumbass now because it's in the drug's generic name, but it's actually not a problem at all.

I don't know anything about chemistry but a quick search showed me palmitate is non-toxic in doses normally administered to people or used in our food and cosmetics. Palipedrone also isn't metabolized into palmitate, but there is palmitate attached to the molecule that needs to be metabolized into a drug, and it is taken off and broken down by our bodies. It's the secret sauce that makes this shit last for so fucking long. But palmitate is floating around your body naturally for crying out loud.

Now, consuming large amounts of saturated fat, which has a lot of palmitate in it, can negatively impact the brain over time, cause cancer, etc. It's only toxic in large doses and I doubt our injections gave us a harmful amount of palmitate.

Invega is bad for you for a lot of reasons, but this isn't one of them. Stop fearmongering "brain damage". Your brain chemistry has been altered and it just feels like brain damage.

The negativity and lack of scientific literacy in these threads is dangerous. Reading it hurt me very badly because it made me believe I had to do something actively to help heal or prevent brain damage and I ended up taking an SSRI because my anxiety was so bad and I thought it would help. It just put me into an even lower ring of hell and I almost killed myself. So just stop blabbing about how there is no recovery or that we are all irrevocably damaged. Most people recover just fine and most people who quit invega don't even go here, they just move on with their lives and feel themselves slowly coming back to life like their doctor said they would.

Really hope you are right. Really hope i can gain back the person i used to be and get my life back. Really hope i become me again. The motivation, energy, imagination, creativity, running, all comes back. I hope everyone on this forum recovers 100%.

@Antipsychiatry healed.
Recovery Story

7 months on Seroquel, olanzapine, and risperdone. 11 invega sustenna shots. Recovered after 1 year.

If this person revovered from 11 invega shots in 1 year than people with fewer shots can atleast expect a quicker recovery.

 

[lukeflowz]

Yeah keep hoping until you realize What They did to you. At least go after them, take their life too.

There is no recovery, in the best scenario you get used to the permanent effect and just learn how to live with it.

The worst scenario is that your brain don’t accept the effects and you feel you never recovered and you never will.

This is up to you, if you are strong you won’t accept these effects, your brain will keep reject them and you never feel recovered.

If you are weak and your brain accept them then you will feel that “fake recovery” feeling but it’s just your brain that ebrace your new condition.

Recovery stories are bullshit, you cannot have sympthoms and effects for 16 months then you wake one day out of nowhere and start recovering. This is not how biology work, sorry.

I mainly have akathisia and this symptom is known to decrease as the levels of the drug go down. Still I do have a mild anhedonia and a loss of cognitive function, but my akathisia is causing me most of my problems at the moment.

I have to respectfully disagree about how recovery stories at bullshit. Most people who recovered report gradual change, not sudden change. This is in alignment with how Invega works. It takes up to 4-9 months for the drug to leave your system- this is the tricky part as everyone metabolises it differently. The more shots someone has generally the longer the recovery.

I was in a drug induced psychosis and placed on Invega due to it. I have nobody else to blame but myself, so im not angry towards those who put me on it.

Whether or not I’ll recover is the scary part, but right now the drug level is high in my system so it’s too early to tell.

 

[Flynnal]

Yeah let’s just reach 18-24 months without recover so we have endured agony for nothing at all, then we have to suicide because our life was ruined.

But i swear i will make what is in my power to try to kill who did this to me, then i can suicide myself. I swear if I have to kill myself i go by them one after one i don’t give a fuck, if they take my life i Will take their too.

I almost feel the same way about that dumb fucking doctor who gave me permanent hearing damage. The nerve is fucked and there's no way to fix this. Then the nerve started playing up 6 months later. Like yeah no shit, the nerve was damage but it was being masked by the carbamazepine and the mirtazepine I was taking. When the carbamazepine was weaned off, guess what happened? Oh, that's it, the nerve decided it was actually fucked.

I hate the profession because they care more about ego than anything else. I cannot handle being in a room with one unless I need to renew med scripts. I'm sick of taking shit. I don't need meds. Unless it's a pentobarbital 10g IV.

 

[Flynnal]

I have to go back on carbamazepine again to mask the nerve pain because of it is making me want to KMS.

Dude people recover just hang in there

Omg i took carbamazepine for trigeminal neuralgia for a few weeks and i got violently ill for 2 weeks. It made me sick as fuck for 2 weeks after i stopped taking it ffs

@paranoid android My post was removed for being racist. How about the people who were being being sadistic without any regard for human life? If you think they were not motivated by race, you are mistaken. I have never wronged anyone this way in my life and i wouldnever do this to anyone. The real racists get away with these sadistic crimes.

A Particular culture or country is not a race but i understand. But my observation and experience is a truth i have to share. I have to tell people how sadistic and cruel certain people can be.

Saying all Nigerians are like that is racist. Same thing if you said everyone in Ireland was such and such

 

[anonymoususer777]

Its strange that people with 11 injections are recovering in a year while people with much fewer injections dont recover quick.
