Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v 12

Hello everyone . I’m bran new in experiencing this hell . I’m on 150mg invega (234mg paliperidone palamerate) and have lost most of my pleasure in everything . Only music gets me through the day anymore but even that gets old. I gained 35 pounds .Has anyone who has been dropped from 150mg to 100 or 234mg to 156mg noticed an improvement in symptoms . I feel so bad about my life right now . It’s been 6 months and they told me they would stop but they still have to taper me . I have just lost a year of my life and youth to this
 
I just wanna check in and say recovery will happen. I was on it for 3 months back in 2019 and recovery took about a year after i stopped those injections. Though it fucked my eyesight a bit so now I use glasses. Nearsighted.
 
By the way, as it's stated many times in these threads - St johns wort supplement can work to a degree by reducing the blood levels of the drug, as it works on the liver increasing the enzymes that digest the drug. So it might ease symptoms to a degree.

You do not have to taper injections. They self taper, immediately stop and do not allow them to lie to you.
 
The last thing i would looking for if somehow i will heal it’s a girl, like i crawled myself out of the hell all on my own, i survived alone when maybe i needed the most a woman at my side, so I have to give my body to a woman when i’am healed, fit again? Idk..

I learned the most important is having myself and sex it’s only an addiction that weak man chase, i don’t want to be weak if I heal and i don’t want to have sex with a woman, this is why i don’t give a fuck about my sexual disfunction..
 
Yeah, I heard clozapine is a hard one. One of the strongest. I don't think it comes in injection, though...but it has some of the strongest effects. I was on Chlorpromazine or Melleril which were nasty, but only on them in pill form for two days.

Not to be confused with clonazepam which is a benzo.

I actually liked thorazine i had it with morphine a few times for severe pain and nausea. Feels like promethazine except better imo
 
Did you have sexual disfunction 7 months after your shots or you developed pssd? Or like risperdalconsta after 21 months you had no progress? Yeah all people suffer but the severity is way different in every person, I see someone heals in 6 months when I get worse after 6 months so he doesn’t suffer as much as me or the others, when I have literally no sleep no cognition no dick and severe akathisia no signs of improvements in almost 7 months you will get insane, I literally cry everyday for the head pressure I have , I never cried in my life ffs, now I can’t stop crying even one day, it’s not a contest but I’m tired of people who improves and criticize other people who suffer way more than them that why you are negative or suicidal? Dude i literally have no human senses and severe symptoms , there is no reason for me to suicide if I could laugh or I had no akathisia or pssd or insomnia, when you can literally sleep 8-10 hours, you can work you can laugh you can function like normal person, of course you don’t suffer as much as me
You're making assumptions about what I can do to fuel your narrative. I sure as hell cannot sleep 8-10 hours, you're so determined in this you're saying stuff that isn't even true. I fundamentally lack the patience to engage with you at this point. I cannot function like a normal person, and fuck you for saying so. Suffering doesn't give you a pass to invalidate the suffering of others.

Thank you . My parents are worried about that and are telling me to get 1 last 100 mg injection before quitting cold turkey . I still don’t know why they gave me 150mg I never heard any voices I just had very small psychosis that was going away . I couldn’t go to sleep in their facility because they gave me roommates and my roommates literally had a fist fight so I was in high alert . It’s no wonder I was having trouble sleeping after that
 
The psychiatrist told me to read books instead of watching tv or movies and I can’t even do that. It’s too hard and clouded in mental fog . I can’t remember most of the pages I read after a bit
 
hey everyone, unfortunately i don’t have much positives to report, I fucked up my recovery by taking strattera back in mid February but i don’t have the tendency to rant in this forum anymore as I deem it useless, so i guess that’s a plus.

don’t get anymore injections, get off it Asap
 
I’m only scared of insomnia from withdrawal symptoms . Fuck it I’ll take the risk I can’t live my prime life as a zombie.

Yeah, I got Insomina for about a week when I got my first injection. But there’s really no withdrawal symptoms that aren’t already present in your life.
