Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v 12

Guys after 9 invega shots it feels like my life is ruined forever. I can't even sleep at night nor do I feel tired it's so weird. When you wake up you know how you normally get that satisfied feeling of having rested, well I don't have that anymore. My last dose was over a month ago on 30th June and that was the one that made things so much worse. I can't even begin to describe the horrors I'm going through. I've lost interest in everything I was passionate in, even my degree subjects. I have zero interest in anything except my faith now. Those who got less shots than me consider yourselves fortunate because there are different levels of invega suffering and I think mine is on the extreme end of the spectrum. I feel so hopeless just now. And there's nothing anyone can do to practically help me so I'm genuinely praying for a miracle. Everything in life was going well (there were problems here and there of course but nothing comparable to this) until I was forced against my will to take these shots. The whole world carries on with their lives not knowing what a blessing it is to have functioning dopamine, serotonin, and adrenaline receptors and here I am watching everyone and wishing I had a fraction of what they've got. Even to genuinely laugh once would mean something to me. Words can't describe my suffering. Nothing can do it justice. I feel like I'm not living anymore, but just breathing. What did I do to deserve this? The future looks so bleak for me, and I'm only 30. I can't even take a month of this, how am I going to survive a potential 60 years? Even one hour like this feels like torture. Nevermind an hour, one minute! Will I continue suffering like this forever? It's mind boggling how such a drug hasn't been banned by now, how the industry is just able to get away with poisoning people like this...I can't find many people to relate to in real life who've gone through this like I have, and this makes my experience even lonelier. If I had my emotions back I'd be crying everyday, but this drug has turned my heart into a heart of stone with no human emotions or feelings. This is what it means to be truly dehumanised.

Hey man, I feel what you’re going through i don’t know if it’s worth mentioning but I also had the same feeling as not being able to switch off or feel tired, even when I tried to nap it’s like I’d get jolted awake. I got out on mirtazapine and lamotragine and this turned that ‘constantly on’ feeling off and now I sleep I know you’ll not want more psyche meds as I also didn’t and still dont but i couldnt take it anymore.. however im not even sure if they helped it’s been 4.5 months and I started to be able to sleep more anyway.. maybe it’s just time until that feeling goes away

Bro, I can’t even sleep this happened to me last injection last year. Now all i do is tost and turn no deep sleep all night for like 10 hours the drug blocks serotonin and domaine which is crucial in sleep. I don’t know what to do, honestly - my entire body is in this mode now … how tf can a medication cause you not to sleep a blocked nose water on chest and restlessness - good news is my health care mental team seem to understand me and look like i’m going to be taken off the services - as i’ve been misdiagnosed but i swear to god i don’t know what tocdo

Dude using herb medicine is enormously beneficial, acupuncture, body has the ability to heal itself but still permament damage exist but doubt your received dose for it to happen

Herb medicine yeah, like what … acupuncture not possible for me due to how its made me so restless last year I wasted 100£ on it i got up and let them take the needles out cause my body was like i wanted to jump out my skin, i get how useful it is. I just need to know what can possibly get me back to sleep, my blocked nose is one thing but I know this is one of the last symptoms before I return back to normal, from last time. I’m completely in a state right now cause i’m dealing with lots of things

Trauma bad diet cortisol all that's, its not just lowered dopamine

Diet been bad, ish , trauma is all time high …. but I had this before it’s the dopamine and serotonin levels that are being attacked that’s causing me no sleep, etc

It takes weeks or maybe 1-2 months of this no sleep bs but maybe “god” can make it happen quicker … I’m really hoping for it to go

my kudalini should rise the end of this month fingers crosssed this medication doesn’t stress it - but when kudalini rises i would expect it to probably delete most of these symptoms as it’s such a powerful force do you have any information or instructions about anything i’ve said buddy?

you’re a legend

I had more shots than you and I can feel emotions. But it could still be possible for you.

I really hope so. Life is just really depressing now and I've got nothing to do that brings me joy or satisfaction. It's turned me into an emotionless vegetable. I used to love taking walks outside. I went out for a walk today and couldn't feel a thing, not even a single moment of positive, happy vibes. I also went out last night to a pizza joint with my parents and normally I love going out with them for a meal but couldn't enjoy the family time like usual, neither the food nor the convo, and it discouraged me to see everyone there laughing and smiling and me just in my miserable bubble. This is just inhumane.

I don't begrudge them of it but it made me think: If only I could have a fraction of their joy, then that would be amazing! It also made me think: "That was me this time last year, but not anymore."

I know it's tough but you'll feel better in a few months. I had the exact same thing with the sleep too and it barely started improving after 4 months. Still fighting the insomnia and dealing with sleep meds not working anymore to make me feel tired, but it's manageable. Just try to take it a day at a time and go to the gym often if you can.

You're doing fine if you're managing to stay out of the hospital - I went back 3 times because the effects were so bad a couple months in. 9 shots is a lot but people have recovered from more (and less, obviously).

I dont want to lie so 2 years around you will have to wait to recover to good extent, @Serhat had similar amount as u and that's what he claimed, never give up, suicide is hell, we should aim to expose the abuse these monsters do, i want to but i'm still financialy dependant on abusers who dont want me to speak publicly how abused people are being misdiagnosed with mental ilness and forced max dose of antipsychotics in most of the time if im not mistaken

I hope my brain's as resilient as Serhat's and can bounce back from this. Everyone's brain's sensitivity level is different so I hope mine isn't so sensitive that it stays permanently damaged. During this whole process it feels like my brain has shrunk in size.
 
I was here last year with the same issue, i’m waking up in my girlfriend bed … nose crying for help, it’s like I try to breathe then it blocks there’s not even a time frame i can expect to be normal by,

they’re telling me by 126 days drug is out my body

it took like 100 days last year when this happened

now it’s only been 21 days for me it hurts me

I'm really interested in watching it, but I couldn't find it on YouTube. Could you drop a link or tell me what to search for? Stories of recovery are so important
