Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v 12

[8up]

I highly advise anyone with substance issues to just declare it in hospitals if you go there. A Doctor, not necessarily Nurses, so ask to talk to a Doctor privately(!!!), they will keep your confidentiality by Practice. You can mention your issue and they will treat you accordingly, no Legal avenues will be actioned against you!

They cannot inform Police or Parents unless you are under 18 USA, 16UK&EU.
You can still request confidentiality due to possible recourse from a family member, if under 16/18, they will Legally have to oblige.
If you do not declare this (PRIVATELY PLEASE WITH NO OTHER NON-DOCTORS PRESENT — Which is actually Legally better for Non-Doctor Staff (anyway), they will assume your Normal has not been seemingly affected by anything and it is not a substance Pushing you but a normal Failure of your Body which they will Treat like there is no Drug.
You can ask if they have to keep your confidence before the conversation, if they won’t you can request someone who will. If there is no one you can write a formal complaint at the Hospital, because is simply not possible for there to be no one who will at a hospital or they you can’t see them.
Indicate Subtly that your Parent, if in the room, cannot be there, so you can privately chat.
Recourse from family is a common thing that has caused issues up to News Reported incidents that they will always avoid as it can make them Liable. Non Doctors Must Leave By Law. Training Doctors, them tell them to FUCK OFF AND FUCK THEMSELVES HARD AND leave also for Legal Reasons!

I am no Doctor. I’ll tell u what i know.

•The Baseline of you is like one of those X,Y Graphs in School…
•You’re on the 0 Y (no height or drop) and travelling along the X direction along to the right…
•So you gave a norm of up and down a bit, really bad times might make it drop to Y-12, elation +11, (euphoria is maybe 12…
•Meds flatten that, and you are limited to +/-1…
•So your Brain sees that and starts trying to make Receptors, some are blocked…
•The Drug blocks the new ones…
•Body sees that and says: ‘Something in the Environment is Chemically Suppressing the Receptors’ (Evolutionary Defence System, 200 Million, or more years of evolutionary technology, Human Form)…
•Biological Backup System Starts: Grey Matter starts to path ‘You’ and ‘thinking’ via a backup path, it’s not the normal cortex areas, its building new stuff. Stuff that can’t be blocked btw, the Law wouldn’t allow it…
•You acclimatise…
•Then when the meds wear off you might have 2 systems, it can be overwhelming…
•One Normal System, and another one built new in Grey Matter…

I can’t be sure, I tried to study what happened to me…
Not easy…

•The X,Y Graph has reasserted itself, you maybe get your +/- 12 back, then you have another 12 with the new routes, so +/-24, it can become Hyper/Hypo -manic…

I thought the excess 12 was maybe a thing not realised by Doctors yet. I have a little geek knowledge…
Instead of suppressed I thought maybe the conflict was excess…

Other possibles:
•Calcification of Dopaminergic Centre, which means you have no reward system. Which makes life kinda pointless.
>Targeted Ultrasound Therapy following an MRI, (A Leica Machine — GerMAns! — (Because some people find the brand General Electric Spooky in Psychiatric Realms for some reason, another observation, big brand silly conspiracy theory association maybe)…
>>Anyway, Targeted Ultrasound or Some Medication to De-Calcify the Dopaminergic System so you have Reward Feelings back could be assessed by a non-psychiatric Doctor/PhD/Professor, so they’re not in the same field as Doctors you maybe gained question-mark for…
•Could be Stored Medication in Fats released at a not normal rate are confusing your biology. (Fats Burning Medication might actually help here, it could clear it up)…

I am not recommending anything without you consulting a Medical Professional… Let’s you Sue someone if they poop up, ha! (Don’t say this in the Consultation, haha, they’ll panic)!

Usually it’ll fall into either your Body is still rerouting the Grey Matter Backup so you have no reward as the Calcification suppressed your Reward system…

I tried to come up with a De-Blocker for the receptors, Higher Affinity Stuff that Jettisons the Blockade and simply acts as a conduit for the original receptor (Higher Affinity will make the Receptor Occupant Blocker Leave). I haven’t had time to work on it, an issue would be that the Nerve has been trying to replace Receptors at such a rate is like a flower bed on your nerve and they’re all blocked off (an issue is if it is an irreversible suppressant, like a welded chemical blockade, which in my understanding is not actually Legal Medication as it is a Nerve Agent), they need Ultrasonic Disintegration of the Blocker or by another Mechanical Means that is not disruptive to any other Body Systems or Tissues…

Big Pharma has not much clue how Mind Systems are truly mapped out. They don’t know Advanced Chemistry, but they think they do. Science at this level is prone to avoiding at what they don’t understand as it is a chunky paycheque but a person is suffering as a result and they are watched because of this, it is commonly recorded. These types of meds are sold as Medication-For-Life through Health Diagnostics Manuals they have a hand in writing, but when profiting from the sales you cannot Legally do that, it is Illegal. They have done it regardless.

A lot of Modern European STEM Chemistry is Withheld from Big Pharmaceutical Companies for these reasons.

I have studied this in depth for around 7 years now. Ask away. I am a good Geek, I focus on these topics. I look towards a solution where the sullen feeling is treated quickly and normal is regained but never changed…

Quite an assessment. Can you please simplify options for helping my brain somehow overcome these meds, both the Invega withdrawal & current sleep meds. Thanks. Don't worry, I won't sue you.

Any sense of what kind of doctor to seek out?

 

[KubiKook]

I feel like my heart has gotten so hardened because of this drug. I don't have the range of emotions I'm familiar with which is very frustrating. It's like this drug takes away your soul...your way of expressing yourself naturally is just taken away.... so unfair....

Yeah, sorry bro, I don't feel my heart either. No spirit or soul left for sure. I can say things or express things or experience things, but I'm not 'connected' to them like I was before. Insidious sh*t.

 

[flystr8]

Just got 2 hours of shut eye last night, and I don't even feel tired as a result. This is so weird...

i had 10 mins sleep for 2 or more months last time i was injected invega

 

[KubiKook]

Deleted the reply cause I understand, thank you …

Ya i actually got really severe muscle spasms in my neck from doing bench presses years ago.vThey didnt stop tilll i got put on clonazepam for anxiety then the spasms pretty much stopped. Clonaz is abit of a muscle relaxant so it figures.

Benching 315 while being natty is insane dude. Your goal should be to bench more then 315 now

Are you on any drugs now? Yeah, it felt good being that strong. Even though I wasn't at that level before the Invega fallout, I was still naturally strong, working my property, building stone walls,
planting trees, yada-yada. We'll see if I ever get back to that, at this point it ain't looking good. I need to find some kind of advanced 'brain' medicine to figure this catastrophe out. Any ideas?

 

[KubiKook]

i had 10 mins sleep for 2 or more months last time i was injected invega

That's crazy that Invega is causing y'all insomnia. Is that a typical symptom? I got insane insomnia from the Invega withdrawal. Damn, I used to sleep 8-9 hours straight, like clockwork. Monsters.

 

[8up]

I don't truly want to be dead. It's a horrifying thought. But life is nothing but misery & suffering. All of those things you mentioned (except getting high) gave me great pleasure. Now, along
with many other former hobbies & happenings, I feel nothing. Not even a hint of emotional connection. I'm not familiar with the nuances of MAID, I just believe people whose suffering makes life nothing but a nightmare, should have an easy & peaceful way to end it. And that's where I'm at now. Like I said, I'd rather be alive in a better condition but tragically, that just ain't the case.

Well, I guess I'm the aberration, an outlier in your experience. I know it's not the ECT, bro. Invega absolutely did this to me. As I outlined, the correlation is there. There's no other explanation.
The ECT was after 15 months or so of this wretched withdrawal. Even these meds came after many months of enduring the fallout from Invega.

Of course, I know being on these two meds is terrible. I pretty much had no choice. And continue to lack another option. I go off the meds I most definitely don't sleep at all. What can I do?!
As I mentioned, suicide is really the only way out for me at this point. The only thing that seems to lie ahead is more obscene suffering & eventually ending up in some hospital or other facility because I can't take care of myself anymore, can't 'do' the necessary things to maintain myself or my household. And that scenario I surely cannot bear or abide. We shall see...

I’m just a tech Geek, not a Doctor…

I did some study on this stuff:

Sitting thinking of how things are not right will induce a part of Evolution that says your Locality is Attacking you so Fight or Fight will Engage, or Resignation.

I did this:
• Event Happens: Not the correct Feeling from Memory…
>>> KEY: Memory does have a catalog of what is correct though.
• Event Happens: Not Correct Feeling: Focus on Memory That Recalls How I Should Feel: Brain Plasticity Adapt.
>>> Postulation: Grey Matter Uses Ancient Evolutionary Template Naturally to Invoke Grey Matter Replacement System…
• (I) Practice(d) this for 9 Months: 80% Recovery: Was enough to simply Get Through It…
• Slowly things come back: otherwise you need to check Dopamine Production Areas and Serotonin Production Areas, the latter would be ‘do you still enjoy food?’.

I had a Cousin of Invega: It was a full Reward Systems Wipe Out. Everything Pointless, I simply Watched Old TV from Childhood to Adulthood Recalled that I could remember the old sensations of watching from Memory.
Games were pointless, I got nothing.

Invega was an attempt to prolong a Patent for a drug that was available for next to nothing: Generic Risperidone, (Zyprexa Branded, Johnson & Johnson — another Company I think from what I can see just added some crap onto the existing Molecule, it should need 10 years of Trials before Approval, the Timeline for Invega is Not Such (!!!). They used a different Molecule and said it was like Zyprexa to gain approval with a differing Molecule (This is what we class as DIRTY CHEMISTS, money for Zombie Suffering, like Death, no Economic BENEFIT for the Nation and a cash Cow for life). Something was afoot… Beware this Rabbit Hole!!!!! There’s Angry Old Money Frothing about such Information Being Openly Available!
It seemed to Break FDA regulation Conduct Completely, a different Molecule is Completely Different in Pharmacokinetics and cannot be treated as though it is any other drug by modulus: you would need 2% difference of atomic weights as a minimal Bar of one Comparison along with others, this one is much bigger in difference. Like LSD, minuscule amounts have profound effects. The Legality is not seemingly normal about this Approval of it. Approval for off standard Treatment (Dementia, yes I said wtf also) with little to no viable Testing done from investigation of the notation, test results appear skewed and the Statistics fabricated, visible to a good Maths Geek. Trial notes were not traceable and lack conduct. There’s a lot of this sort of thing!

Apologies for the Slightly Conspiratorial Sounding Themes, I just found a lot of Data this Subject. It is… Interesting. Never indicate that you know anything much regarding this, it is best to seem oblivious, like I am, ‘ohhh, how ConFUsiNg!’.

Do you think I have a chance of getting better after 9 invega shots? The last one was on 30th June @ 50mg. My 8th dose was during the end of May @75mg. I'm on a CTO. I had a meeting with the psychiatrist in June about the anhedonia I was having. I asked if I could switch to aripiprazole, but his response was "I wouldn't recommend it since we're lowering your dose anyway." You think I should have been firmer and said in response "I don't want your recommendation, I'd like aripiprazole please"? I was getting better towards the end of June, with my appetite coming back, and starting to enjoy things again, then on 30th June I got the shot and it set things back to a level I've not known. I have no appetite and just eat to live. I've lost interest in things and I feel I have cognitive impairment. I said to the nurse who was administering the injection "Is it okay if I don't take this" and she said "No Brendan, you're on a CTO, you have to take it." I just wish I had made myself more clear with the psychiatrist and pushed to take aripiprazole. Will my appetite go back to normal?

 

[8up]

Any sense of what kind of doctor to seek out?

I would look for a Plaque Specialist, also anytime who knows MRI scanning of Arthritis will know the Radiology Doctrine and MRI Scan Particulars to understand such a type of Suppressing Biological Interference as Calcification would be.

It might be that an Anti Caking Natural Body Compound is suppressed by the drug which prevents Calcification of Plaque forming around the Dopamine System, if so the Dopamine System may go offline to protect itself until Natural Body Chemistry can form a repair/Unwanted-Matter-Clean. Theoretically a slight increase in Acidic like Lemon Snacks, with REAL FRESH Lemon Juice (beware excess Lemon Juice will made your Stomach Acid Reject it, you’ll barf)… A slight PH change might be enough to slowly Work the issue if it is found from scanning. Lessen Calcium in your diet, Less Cheeses and Milky, Dairy etc. If you have Psoriasis that is Plaque of Joints repelled to Skin Membrane (it seems). A similar function is desired for displacement of Dopaminergic System Calling and Suppressive Matter, this would be a Good Hearted Chemists Role, they can likely formulate a plan. The issue is in Brain Areas strategy of Natural Biological Evolutionary Repair Mechanisms are different due to its Critical Function…

Once again, this is theoretical but I had some improvements. I am just a keen observing Geek about this sort of stuff.

 

[8up]

Yeah, sorry bro, I don't feel my heart either. No spirit or soul left for sure. I can say things or express things or experience things, but I'm not 'connected' to them like I was before. Insidious sh*t.

Highly likely this is simply the Dopaminergic System is Suppressed somehow. Investigation and rectification will allow the sensations of Rewarding Feelings in everything from Getting up to eat all the way to a Warm Embrace, as should be felt. Likely the Reward Systems have Fortresses themselves to Protect against what the Body Thinks is you as a Cave Person travelling through a Toxic Environment area. It doesn’t have Pills and Bricks and Roads in its Programming. That’s the closest you will get. If your Fats have Stored any of the Chemical, it will keep it locked down.

So we have:
Fortress Protection
Or
Calcification/Matter Suppression
Or
Receptor Fused and Over Saturated Nerves with Receptors
Or
Grey Matter Plastic Adaptation Suppression…

Or a Combination…

I’m trying to work out the Easiest ways to solve this…

The Body is Built on Fields and Fundamentals of Physics of Cosmos. In Engineering, it can always be Modulated to be what you expect but not outside of the Physics.

That means, likely it can be repaired or a built in Evolutionary Embedded Natural Fix will attempt to fix it and will simply need you to provide it with the correct Vitamins, Minerals, Salts, Sugars and Hydration also Elements, Iron for example. Mapping out what the Body is attempting is the Key.

Things like Cravings are an Indicator. I know it sounds odd but the Bathroom Smell @ number 2 actually programs you for Diet for a few days, you know what you require. Always Drink Plenty of Water, but not Excessive, don’t over work your Kidneys or Bladder, you need those to last. Be aware of any Aches and Pains, remember the locations of Headaches. Drink plenty of Water, have enough Salt, have enough Sugar, those three are Essential for Repair. Sleep as much as possible, you get 50% of that back in lifetime added on at the end anyway. Promote Repair. Catalog your Sensations of what I have written and anything else of note. Please avoid Highs, nothing will replace the Dopamine System. Naturally you have a healthy amount, Dopamine, Serotonin and Endorphins. Highs simply make you think that natural amount is too little as you train yourself up for excessive amounts and the Brain Protects itself thinking you are in a hazy area of Plants and you can’t get away from it. Look up the Hot Hand Rule.

Things like Weed, Cave persons ate once, a bit, then it made them feel ill, then they know the smell is to be avoided, programming for Toxins in an area, that’s what that is for. Remember back then in that state you could be eaten, they would avoid it.

Thanks for explaining that. So is there a chance for my appetite to return? I notice I've had more shots than most at a total of 9 injections so are my chances of recovery slimmer? Is it possible to go back to how I was pre-Invega? Unfortunately with the sleep I'm not getting much because of this 30th June shot @50mg, my sleep had gone back to normal and so had my appetite but boom, I got my 9th shot and then things reversed within a few day's time. I think my body came to a place where it could no longer take the dopamine blockade and just shut down completely.

 

[KubiKook]

Maybe try for a few days without the meds and see what happens

I wonder if cold turkey will 'kill' me...

 

[InnerReturn]

Oh, yeah, it's a bit of a conundrum. When my withdrawal symptoms hit, I had complete insomnia, couldn't sleep a wink. I tried natural remedies first, melatonin, and other supplements & herbs, didn't work, then I tried Ambien & Sonata that my mom had, didn't work, then I had to seek out a psychiatrist & was prescribed Xanax & Klonipin, didn't work, then finally after exhausting all these options, the doctor prescribed Seroquel, starting at 25mgs & ending with 300, which only gave me 2 or 3 hours of sleep for months, then desperately, I was wiped out, she added Caplyta,
first 21 & then 42 mgs, which gave me 6 or 7 hours... On my own, I went back down to 100mgs of Seroquel because the higher doses didn't give me any more sleep, and that's where I'm at now.

The fear is that going off this combo, will send me back to no sleep. I'd rather be on just the Caplyta, it's a little more benign, I think, but it isn't generally prescribed for sleep. I may still try tapering off the Seroquel, but I'm surely hesitant; I can't bear going back to little or no sleep. I don't know what to do. I definitely want to be off both of these poisons. Maybe they're preventing my brain from being able to heal from the Invega withdrawal. Maybe not. Either way, I was so opposed to all psych meds for so long, after having been on Prozac & Klonipin for depression & anxiety for almost 16 years during my 20's & 30's. I had finally gotten to a place of only consuming organic healthy stuff. I guess I needed something more powerful, because I ended up with
a full-blown mania with some kind of separation from reality in 2019 & 2025. Both episodes were fairly short but caused me enough problems to land in the hospital...

The first stay I was still manic but back to reality, I put in a 72-hour notice & was released in three days. The second stay was the same, full compliance with the program, absolutely no danger to myself or others, on the contrary, I actually utilized my degrees & good people skills to help other patients, befriended staff too, but my 72-hour notice wasn't honored. I was taken to court on day 11, which by that time I was totally fine, articulated my case quite well, yet for some reason, probably liability purposes, the judge chose to mandate meds, and consequently, my soon-to-be nightmare was born ~ Invega Sustenna was prescribed. They gave me 3 days of pills, on day 4 injection 1, and day 7 (my 18th & last day on the unit) injection 2.

I'm not sure, but I don't think two injections 3 days apart is typical, maybe too much. Either way, I was free, went to pick up my cat at my mom's house, and then happily headed home. I was okay for a month or maybe a little bit more, and then I started getting crushed by all these horrible symptoms... My mom & dad were taking shifts for 4 months, spending the entire day with me, preparing meals, cleaning up, yada-yada; we just sat there day after day. I spent the nights alone. I was highly suicidal, and my family had an intervention, and sent me to Alternative to Meds Center in Arizona, where I spent a nightmarish two months. Nothing helped there. I flew back & stayed at my mom's house. Eventually tried TMS. Didn't help. Then, I crazily agreed to ECT, did it for 3 months or so. All it did was negatively affect my memory. Nothing else. And here we are, a couple of months later, with no sense of help or hope in sight... Good night, Lara. (??????????)

You said something I often think myself: “Maybe these medications are preventing the brain from healing after Invega.” This is not a crazy theory — it’s a logical question. Seroquel and Kaplita continue to affect dopamine receptors. Perhaps the true re-adaptation will only begin after they are discontinued. But I also understand your horror at the thought of insomnia returning. It’s not just fear — it’s your body’s memory of torture. You have already shown incredible willpower by reducing Seroquel from 300 mg to 100 mg on your own. This proves that you are capable of influencing the situation. Perhaps the next step could be discussing with your doctor a very slow, microscopic reduction — not for immediate discontinuation, but to check where your true sleep threshold is now, some time after Invega. But only if you are ready. You have already fought for so long that you have every right to take a pause. To simply exist in stability, even if it is medicated, without new battles. I don’t know if insomnia will return. But I do know that you have survived something that would have destroyed many others

for me i’m stressed cause it’s early days and still under section

 

[flystr8]

I am currently healing with other practices but it’s crazy they put a injection in my but ( i always look good but whenever on this drug it stops my smile makes me a monster like them, i can’t believe doctors administrated it

can’t talk about past no more just current symptoms i can’t even sleep or think like i normally would … monsters…

100mg how long anyone know it’s in system for and how to bypass it?? any hacks??
