You do not have to taper injections. They self taper, immediately stop and do not allow them to lie to you.

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.

If you need a antipsychotic i suggest zyprexa. I get no side effects from it basically

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.

Invega is nightmare fuel. May is ask what is the main reasons someone would take it opposed to an alternative. What happens to you to take it?

End up in the psych ward too many times, or do something at the psych ward that permits them to inject you. Otherwise people just get duped into taking it because they’re unaware of the potential effects it may cause. Some people try invega after failed attempts with other antipsychotics

I haven't taken anything. Still the same

When you’re in the psych ward they just put you on meds and don’t tell you anything, in the ward I was risperidone and lexapro but didn’t find this out until I was almost out. I just took the meds when they said to because I didn’t have much choice. When I was leaving they told me I have to take invega and I get either pills or a shot but I chose shit because I didn’t want to have to take more meds everyday

On the opposite end of that some people like me where psychotic and needed meds but where denied any treatment. I went 3 months of being psychotic and having cotards and was given nothing. I also had severe opiate and cold turkey benzo withdrawals and was not even given a asprin for it. The only times i was given any meds was when they pinned me down and injected me with what was probably ativan when they threw me in solitary

The problem with the psych ward or one of the problems is that you seem not to get treatment if you really need t and if you dont need it you arent given any treatment. Also inpatient doctors tend to be the worst. A large part of that is because noone would voluntarily go to them. Thankfully i managed to ,luck into getting a shrink who usually didnt work inpatient and then got put on invega and i got the fuck out of there

I am sorry

 

[asr0101]

Fuck I am also on a high dose of epival pills along invega and a sudden withdrawal from that can include a seizure . Even if you take the medicine for mood stability instead of seizure control , which I take it for , it will give you a seizure. They really screwed me . I’ll just demand the doc to reduce the epival and come off the injection then .

I was on epival for psychiatric reasons and nerve pain. You do have to taper coming off it but its generally not a big deal. I dont think i got any symptoms coming off it. But it was a long time ago i was on it

 

[asr0101]

fuck man 150mg is truly brutal I can only listen to music and it doesn’t hit the same I’m just looking at the hours and counting them till sleep time . Unemployment is brutal as well I can’t take having free time and not being able to enjoy it . I just can’t help but laugh at my life at this point . My ocd managed to get worse on this “medicine”

The problem is that Epival is ototoxic, like most anti-epileptics. Also, I've found anything that depresses the CNS, be it benzos, alcohol, barbiturates, and narcotics, as well as anti-epileptics (I've tried Tegretol, Trileptal, something called Leveciracetam, and Epilim) can cause me to spiral once I have a dark thought (eg. about a past fight, about losses, about stuff that upsets me, etc). All make me prone to serious rage attacks once I really spiral. I've broken $2000 office chairs, ripped the legs off an entire set of wooden chairs, tore a door of its hinges, compuer mice, keyboards, even broke a screen. You name it, destroyed so much stuff because of that shit.

I'm in pain

I'm in pain

Me too but we can’t do nothing to help our brain to recover, doctors cannot help us, we are alone in thins nightmares.

I’am approaching 21 months of pure agony, because “it takes 2 years but it eventually get better”. But keeping further than the 2 year mark like that it’s not an option.

I’am sorry i can’t help you or help me, no one can help us, we are on our own. My “family” started to hating on me just because i’am in agony, they are very sick and sadistic against me, they told me to not bother them with my issue and they don’t want anymore to talk about what happened and they don’t want anymore hearing me complaining so i keep staying silent and they are giving me the silent treatment too. The sadism and the sickness..

No offence but you may need heavier meds if you keep destroying shit
