Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v 12

Good news guys! I have been struggling with emotional flatness, depression, anhedonia, erectile dysfunction and a whole slew of other problems. I talked to my psychiatrist and apparently I have something called bipolar depression. I thought it was invega causing all my symptoms because they started right after I took it, but apparently when you have a psychosis it’s common to fall into a depression right after. Invega has a half life of 29 days so it’s already out of my system! So my symptoms are purely mental and it’s just a matter of time before they wear off. I can’t believe I was so worried over nothing!

It has a half life of 29 to 45 days depending on your fitness it lasts during that duration. Your psychiatrist is feeding you BS.

Hell nah.. Depression is a hoax there’s no “depression” (chemical imbalance and lack of serotonine) it’s just something they made up in order to diagnose people with and prescribe drugs to them and make profit over it.

If your sympthoms started after they shot you in the head then they are surely linked to OCD Bipolar and Depression, yeah, if you broke your legs the pain is linked to negative psychosis of course, god damn..

Don’t be so stupid please, use the logic and look at the chronilogical hystory of neurotoxin exposure and developing sympthoms you never had before..

I hope you’re right.. im also bipolar, last time I had bipolar depression I could still feel nicotine after quitting meds.. and could think properly i.e. racing thoughts .. yet here I am 7 months later still cant feel nicotine still can’t sleep still no thoughts.. unfortunelty this time it’s definetly the paliperidone .. guess time will tell
 
Now I feel bad.. I wish I thought it was just bipolar depression but I realised the first time I had psychosis that the meds slammed me into depression.. anhedonia and a blank life but like I say last time I could actualy get a rush from a vape and get high.. this time there’s nothing.. not that I’ve tried smoking, annoyingly this happened to me because I quit smoking

Yes, this feels hopeless to me, my life is absolutely ruined, I can't live at home anymore, me & my cat are tortured in our new space, I can't imagine getting home again, everything it takes to manage a household & property, I (mentally) can't do any of it anymore, this is insane, the recovery stories don't help me, everybody's brain is different, my change feels permanent, and this is not a life that's sustainable, I'm not viable as a normal human being, I can't take care of myself, the future looks like some kind of nursing home or maybe worse, I couldn't bear that, I have people around me talking about the power of positive thinking, they just don't get it, it's not my mindset that's creating this complex, it's an abominable change in my brain composition, what a horror!

I'm not sure what my doses were. I think the second one was 234mg. Maybe 156. Either way, how can two injections cause such misery for such a long time?! I need a miracle & sadly, I don't believe in them anymore, my faith is completely gone, it was such a strong foundation of my life, what a grievous loss, so much loss, I used to be a charismatic, good-looking guy in good shape,
highly intelligent & highly conscious, very artistic, wrote many poems & songs, was finishing a book, landscaped my 1.4-acre property, built stone walls, planted so many trees, bushes & perennials, such color in season, attracting so much wildlife, how can this happen to us?!, and where's it heading?!, tragically & horrifyingly, I think for me it's gotta be suicide, don't think I can't survive this much longer. We shall see. Thank you for the message.

Did you recover? I’m in the same situation. I received two injections last one was June 6 and my life is ruined. I will do whatever for an assisted suicide.
 
Man.. the more ‘recovery’ stories im reading on here the more of them just don’t add up… time lines just make no sense and then if you cross reference them to their Reddit accounts .. you get a totally different story… the actual fuck are you supposed to believe at this point… with mods saying they’ve had shots and then changing their story to pills years later like they can’t remember a thing.. who is even real on here!? Such a downer man… I guess we are stuck this way afterall

I’m sorry I was making a joke about how incompetent psychiatrists are and how they downplay our suffering and victim blame I don’t feel any better

I’am real, i got two risperdal consta 50mg injections in July 2024, it’s been 26.5 months and i’am not healed, i developed new sympthoms over these 2+ years as a what I call “domino effect” or “chain effect”. You can trust me.

I mean to be fair that is exactly what my psychiatrist says and I’m expected to believe him because he’s a doctor

I told him I’m hopeful that I recover but that I know it doesn’t happen for most people and he said, “well, don’t believe everything you read online” like there aren’t thousands of people who have the EXACT same thing happen to them. You would just be living in complete denial to think that people don’t have lasting effects but of course it’s “bipolar depression “

Exact same bullshit comes out of the psychiatrists mouth who I see. Truth is they will never know what it’s like and neither will family. They’re pushing me to end my own life. Making me take more pills and saying ‘why don’t you just try watch tv or doing something’ they do not get it at all… i don’t want to be in bed im sick of it! Why would I chose to do this, im not getting anything from this or even when im out of bed im just trapped in the mind and it’s a fucking prison

How many injections you took. They forced me 234mg on June 2, 2026 and 155mg on June 6, 2026. I feel I won’t recover ever. I want to try to gather as many severe depression treatments as I can in the next years to later request assisted suicide through Dignitas, Pegasus or Athanasious. Because I know no treatment will heal me.

That’s honestly fantastic. It’s always better to trust the professionals, they know what they’re doing. It must be such a relief because bipolar depression is highly treatable with medication like antidepressants. Happy for you! /s

Yeah it's fucked. Similar experience to me after I got injected 3 ish years ago. They think it's just some mental problem and that you haven't been physically poisoned.

My psychiatrist at the time wanted me on antidepressants when I complained about my side effects to him. I had to shut up.
