Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v11

Not open for further replies.
Took ritalin again today. Have not noticed any benefits. Not worth it tbh just off injections, maybe it will work better in a few months. Gonna stop taking it for now. Probably not good for recovery anyway.
 
31 days since my last injection and generally have a positive mental attitude. I was very depressed when I knew I still had to take more injections. Only up from here for me hopefully.
 
I defo have it easier on abilify. I took flupenthixol for about 3 weeks which is a full dopamine blocker like paliperidone and it was unbearable. This was maybe 5 months ago when i tried switching meds as I still had some psychosis. I stopped it because it was horrendous.

Abilify is a partial agonist, meaning it slightly stimulates dopamine receptors. I think that's why I am not struggling as much as everyone else.

I still have some pretty major anhedonia and medium level restlessness. But I feel far more functional than I did with Invega.

I hope we all get through this and post our recovery stories to help give people who get injected in the future hope. Stay strong everyone. You can make it and come out stronger.
 
Thought I’d come back and share an update:

My nose was
Unblocked for a week
But couldn’t sleep due to anxiety issue of course
As haven’t slept 90 days

So then it starts to get clogged again , it seems like I have very bad allergies.

Im going to get some melatonin to try promote sleep


But breathing doesn’t feel like a cement wall right now..
still very irritable though

Did you get a confirmation?

There’s no way to confirm anyone on this forum has died unless a outside source(friend,family, etc) logs on and informs us they have actually passed.

He said he would do it, was on nearly every single day before he did it, and has not returned even online once after he said he was going to do it.

At the very least it was the death of his bluelight account, and for someone who often logged on to voice grievances with the “medication” he was poisoned with, he no longer does it at all. He’s gone.

Take your adhd meds, I find that even though I don’t “feel” them like I used to they still help with energy, focus, and motivation

How long after your last injection did they start doing something? My concern is they might never work again, not sure how common it is for them to work like they did pre-injection or how long it takes
 
We will get through this. I’m not sure how but we will persevere. One day at a time.
 
Guys we got lobotomized, there is no recovery from lobotomy.

1: accept that and try to live with it.

2: if you can’t live with it you know what you have to do.

Do yourself a favor and don’t fool yourself with recovery expectations, be honest to yourself and listen to your brain. We won’t recover from a lobotomy and we know that.

If you can take it and live with it this is good for you, because there is only another option, and it’s not recovery in the long run.

Maybe Invega is recoverable but Risperidone isn’t. I got Risperidone Consta then Risperidone Uzedy. Uzedy was 10x worse than Consta even at a lower dose. Such bad akathesia.
