Hi all guys! I am
FutureIsBrighter, I used to hang out on this forum back in
2022, when I got my shots of
Xeplion/Invega Sustenna. I still remember what hell it was to be under the effect of this drug! The
shutting down, the
mental fog, the
lack of emotional depth and pleasure… I know it all, guys, what you’re going through is perfectly natural, I remember it all too well. I was later diagnosed with
bipolar disorder with psychotic traits, and after about 18 months of
hell, I managed to recover from
paliperidone! It’s disgustingly long, I know, but believe me, when you start living fully again with the
entire spectrum of emotions, life
shines once more. Don’t give up and don’t let negative thoughts take over. I probably shouldn't tell you this, but right here on the forum I read about the famous herb called
St. John's Wort.. I took it for a period of time and it triggered a
full-blown manic episode,
DON'T DO IT, or at least, talk to your
Doctor! It's super dangerous because then I had a switch during the manic phase, and later the doctors had me switch to
Abilify Maintena which is definitely better, much more
modern and with
fewer side effects. I want to write you this message to give you a
big hug and hope.
Don't give up, guys, because life is a
precious gift and the future is really
bright for everyone. If I made it, all of you can too. With affection,
FutureIsBrighter
