I feel like invega is making my gums recede, I only saw one other person have this, my hygiene is still the same

Spoke to a lawyer today, he refused to take my case. He said he has never seen a judgement against a psychiatrist. Psyhiatrists have all the power because you are judged according to the notes they leave on your file.

Depends which country your in. In Canada its very hard to sue a doctor but its pretty easy in the US. But ya they do have most of the power sadly

has anyone tried smoking cigarettes while recovering from invega? would you recommend it? I used to smoke but quit a few years ago.

I actually quit while recovering. Nicotine is a hell of an addiction so I wouldn’t recommend picking it back up. Maybe go for walks instead, even just drink more water. Smoking in recovery won’t do anything to help the situation except make you addicted to it.
 
Not sure why but the past 2 days have been particularly hard. After the amazing mental clarity window I felt on day 74, it was just constant/very frequent brain fog, cognitive issue, painful nostalgic memories and sleep problems. I keep waking up at night and find it hard to go back to sleep.

That’s expected… some days are okay and some days are just horrible, just got to hang in there. Maybe there’s something you can do on hard days to keep your mind occupied? Are you doing anything when you wake up to put yourself back to sleep? I’d recommend having some sleep tea and then listen to a podcast that isn’t interesting enough to keep you awake but interesting enough to listen to until you fall back asleep… maybe even put some lavender oil on your pillow
 
i keep getting these random moments where something in my head feels like little fires anyone knows what that is

Thanks. I've tried walking around until I get tired, then I go to bed again. Breathing exercises, which helps a little. Also tried switching sleeping places but doesn't seem to be very helpful. Perhaps I'll try the podcast idea.

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing but I frequently feel a heavy pressure in my forehead, it's a weird feeling I can't describe it well.

I have that same feeling in my head. It’s a terrible pressure and makes me feel heavy.
 
I'm so angry.



Guys, is recovery really impossible?

It's been almost seven months since my injection, and I'm a complete mess again.

Everyone, please never get prescribed Abilify as maintenance.

It doesn't just slow recovery—it makes things worse.



I really want to die. Someone please kill me.



I resent the doctor and feel so sad and angry.
