Also with this regimen. I learned that many believe they are 100% recovered until they’ve undergone some of the regimen, then they realize there was more to heal. Feel free to inbox me, I’ve helped with Invega recovery, Abilify Main, Heroin withdrawal recovery, etc.

Edit: I completely got off of hard psychedelics and THC; not realizing I had a dependency on THC and episodic use of psychedelics which worsened my relapse. Nicotine is almost down!

Please message me with more info on how to recover 🙏
 
Did anyone lose their strength where they couldn’t do activities the same as before. I can’t lift weights more than about 25 lbs ten times before the weak feeling is really noticeable. Also same on the rowing machine, it’s a challenge just to pull the cable towards me. Also sometimes even my breathing muscles feel weak and it feels challenging to take a full breath. I’m just at 11 months off the shot. Will this loss of strength be forever? Everything I do is affected.

Yes I understand, I couldn't put a plan into place to escape while on the drugs it disabled my brain too much. My family called an ambulance on me and the police came as well, I'm not happy that my family did this they did not think about the consequences of doing this and from previous experience with the mental health system they should have known better. They really sent me to hell.

Yeah if it were up to me i would just kive with the psychosis over being on meds. Psychosis is so overated your not foing to kill someone on it. Im currently on a community treatment order so i have to take meds otherwise the cops come to my door and take me to the mental hospital. My only hope for relief is when ulotaront comes out and i can get switched to that.
So your feeling like shit from invegga? Any idea on what your going to do when you get better from those meds. Were you experiencing psychosis too aka hearing voices.

Nah it shouldnt br forever. I recovered from antipsychotics where i felt like shit before. It takes around a year. I felt super weak and demotivated as well but then i got better full of life and energy and so on. You just need to wait it out. If your at 11 months then that means your almost recovered. What are your plans for ehen you recover? How did you end up in a mental hospital to get the injection?

Because the police miscommunicated information about what I said. The hospital drug tested me for cannabis and the test came back negative. The doctor then made up a diagnosis of cannabis psychosis and ordered me on invega for 7 months. Total unethical conduct and gross negligence. It’s like he ignored the fact my drug test was clean and made up a faulty diagnosis.

Sometimes I wonder if unintegrated archetypes are responsible for these flawed treatments. Doctors not only tend to put people in boxes, they also tend to treat those patients a certain way dependent on a number of factors, resulting in treatment being driven a very specific way for reasons that seem to follow a very linear logic - if that makes sense.

Like, say a doctor is so used to seeing people lying about their marijuana use that he ignores the more self-aware individuals, almost like he doesn't even see you as anything but "just another patient".

For example: the Australian doctor that came in and replaced the old psych at the hospital I was in was like a walking automaton. He was entirely incapable of interacting with people on their level. The few conversations I had with him, I felt like I was being spoken to by someone who thought he was talking to a wall... or perhaps his own reflection. It was his decision that got me on Risperdal Consta. Not only that, I got the impression that he had already worked out - based on preconceived notions - how he was going to go about treating me before ever meeting with me in person.

This is why, any time I get a new doctor, I would really rather prefer that they don't read my files at all before getting to know me. It might be a bit nerve-racking and honestly can make a person feel anxious, but it's a more "real" way to get things done between you and a psychiatrist.
 
Like I said I recovered. Two months of the shot. Then I went on Abilify. That was some time ago.

Now I'm on Clozapine and Abilify. It works well for me. Went to graduate school on it. Can think pretty well.

Getting off and on my meds a few times only hurt me.

I think that it's totally wrong though that so many people still think that putting people on heavy antipsychotic doses without much reason is the best course of action. People ought to be heard out, not judged quickly.

The way it works, though, is that they become that more clinical and harsh at the next level. For example, people are more easy-going than the hospital about negative feelings. The hospital is more easy-going than the longer-term hospitals about these unfortunate tendencies. By the time you're deep in, they assume that more easy-going care did not work, which is not true of all but is the general logic by which I believe they act.
 
Anti psychotics never really did anything for delusions or psychosis i was having..even abilify at 25 or 30 mg daily. only haldol injections worked slightly but even then i was having delusions even after receiving 15 daily dosed injections . Last week about 4 months after getting injected with invega i was able to break delusions and am able to see throught them. I've literally had zero succes with all AP drugs even invega, they only give me a ton of side effects

If you are having delusions is way better to use like 30% CBD oil and dose really high on it, it's literally the only thing that worked for me. CBD is a a natural anti psychotic but without all these garbage side effects.

Yes, I was previously very fit, now I can't run for more than 1 minute, I also fatigue quickly and don't have the strength to lift weights anymore, my aerobic and anaerobic ability has gone. It is a crime against human rights to force these drugs on people, they cause so much misery and are very bad for your health, where is the sense in that, I think psychiatry exists as a form of eugenics ad social control, definitely not to help people but to disable them. I had different antipsychotic injections but they are all the same shit.

Mental mind is not physical if it has problem it can be fixed only mentaly thru thinking, logic, making mind still thru meditation, resolving stress and trauma, etc. They are trying to solve mental problem in physical way, it will never work out well.

The mind and body are interconnected. What happens to one affects the other and vice versa.

Yeah. My delusions were pretty treatment resistant too. Then I was put on Vraylar which actually did help fix the delusions.

Now that I can manage them fine, I don't worry. Nor do I feel I'll ever slip back into that.

yeah that sucks, so you never were hearing voices yet you got put on invega sustenna, whats up with all these misdiagnoses seems like everyone on here was misdiagnoses and placed on invega. so you took invega for 7 months? lol that sucks, well thats probably why you havnt recovered yet since you took it for 7 straight months it must take a while to recover, so if youve been off it for 9 months now thats means youve been suffering for a year and a half. wow. do you work?

Yeah, I’ve been off of it for 11 months now. No it’s all I think about is being able to work and do school but I’m just not physically and mentally there yet. It can be really frustrating at times. I still have issues with being able to focus feel motivated able to think clearly and physically still dealing with overall weakness.
 
I think I’m just almost 7 months off the shot and I’m doing good. Overall everything has improved and I just need to be mentally strong these days. I think I stopped taking seroquel awhile ago and I took it at an extremely small dose so everything was just me being mentally strong and it was more like a placebo. The anxiety issue got a lot better and now and don’t just get anxious for no reason. Some days I can physically go to the gym with the same strength and energy as pre Invega. Things do get better guys! I do get depressed sometimes thinking about how down and out I was from the 2-4 month. Everything does gradually get better. I’m still not where I’d like to be and that does make me cry sometimes. But I’m still happy because if I had to live everyday of my life with where I’m at right now I could do it. My biggest advice is to be mentally strong. If your concerned about Invega and think you’ll never recover you’ll manifest more off Invega into your life. You need to stop letting Invega control your life and do the best with what your capable off. It is unfortunate that this drug does last awhile. But you do get to a point where you can live your best life still. Remember everyday that you make it is a win.
 
And lastly you guys need to push yourselves physically around other people. I find when I’m around others I can go harder than if I were just by myself. Last week I got invited to a basketball scrimmage at my old school. I played for about twenty of the minutes. And I know it doesn’t sound like much but it was so bad it was the most tired I’ve been since this Invega shit. I can also dunk again
