I am in Canada and i got one 100mg injection and 150mg injection. Now i am being told that the 100mg is equivalent to 156mg and the 150mg is equaivalent to 234mg in the US.....so what is my dosage? Is 250mg or 390mg? ......

one place says the active moiety of a 234mg injection is 150mg of paliperidone, which means the active part of paliperidone in the drug. I am very confused. Do i have the equivalent of 4 injections inside me?

no you don’t have 4 injections inside you, only two, i think it has to do with marketing of the drug

@Trueart2 have you heard of Carbamazepine? I read it can reduce the efficacy of paliperdione and levels

Doubtful. A quick search says it’s a anticonvulsant. It’s given to people bc they know antipsychotics are prone to making people shaky. It’s just a “curing” a symptom of the drug we took in the first place

Just leave him alone bro. That was a losing mission going into the battle. Never give him the time of day ever again, otherwise you’re just making your situation more hopeless and wasting time

You just got the starter dose. You got 390 MG of invega injected into you. In the US terms.

My testosterone was at 4.2 nmol/l but that was checked in the late afternoon but now it is at 15.2 nmol/l checked in the morning 4 months later.

Do you have a baseline of what your testosterone was pre-injections? My testosterone checked last month was half of what it was pre-injections. I’ll probably check again in another month or two.

yes, though it felt stronger post-injection. as if my brain craved the dopamine or something. like i said, there was a massive positive change for me.

Most experience a period of anhedonia with substance blockage (i.e. substances like weed, alcohol, stimulants, caffeine, and nicotine don’t work). It sounds like this never happened to you, which is peculiar. Thanks for sharing your experience though.

it did, at the beginning. when my recovery first began, weed gave me intense panic attacks that i never previously had. the anxiety from invega overall was so bad i had to move in with my sibling and sleep in the same room as them or i'd go into panic. if i was left home alone for a period of time i would also go into panic. it was horrifying. i was malnourished and my legs were severely bruised-like. weed i had to quit for like four or five months. caffeine i've never had before. nicotine, never had either. alcohol, i don't know since i've never drank alcohol before, i got invega when i was 19.
 
some other symptoms included near-complete loss of hunger, hair falling out (which got better with a certain med and i was able to keep my long hair), intense nausea and car sickness (even a twenty minute car ride made me vomit everywhere and a lot of the time i would wake up at like five am throwing up; this went on for a very long time), blurry vision, this weird lumpy throat feeling where i felt i had to clear my throat every five seconds, heart palpitations and muscle spasms, waking up too early in the morning and barely getting any hours in, brutal anhedonia.

I dont have a baseline of what it was before invega.
 
I was measuring myself using the US standards till now. @Invegatorture dosage of 100mg and 150mg is only equivalent to 175mg total in Canadian standard... all the recovery stories i saw were following the US standard... @silenthill only got 150mg total by Canadian standard...most of the recovery stories i saw who recovered in 6 to 12 months were people who got only 2 to 3 shots but that was according to US standards. What does thismean for recovery?

when I touch my hair, pieces come out, was this the same for you or hair just kept falling? I got the injection at 20 years old and I am 21 now, I hope this means fast recovery for me
