Not open for further replies.
hey! just wanted to do some personal research:
what would u say helped u more (esp longterm)? oral paliperidon or depot paliperidon? if u prefer one over the other, why ?
 
I watched the football game on Thursday (American football.) Didn’t feel any emotion. We’ll see. My home team plays on Sunday. I used to get really excited when good things happened. Last year on INVEGA, nothing. I’ve been off 4 months. I’ll be curious if I have any excitement this year. That will be a big test for me.

I've been off Invega sustana shot for 5 months I'm a 49 year old female exercise 3 times a week and have been eating pretty healthy for that past 4 weeks. no alcohol. no depressants that will make me more tired and depressed. I am always tired. I wake up tired. I need to sleep almost 12 hours to feel normal. I have no motivation and I don't have a personality because im trying to fight this tiredness I have. I slipped yesterday and took an old adder all XR which was probably 14 mg and it totally fucked me up I had anxiety and I was besides myself. the day before I took Dexedrine I felt fine until I went to bed and woke up with a headache. is anyone still affected by the Invega sustana withdrawals?

extreme anhedonia is one of worst side effects of invega.

I might get off of civil commitment in a couple of months 😁 I work with a team of mental health practioners called an ACT Team as a part of my commitment and they recently had a meeting and agreed that my commitment should expire. Now I just have to wait for court in November to see what the judge thinks about it and then hopefully I'm free from all of this shit!! I've been on it for 3 years so fingers crossed that it ends in a couple of months.

After being off this medication for 7 months know, my sexual dysfunction issues have not been resolved, still cannot get a erection as before, has anyone else noticed this with themselves? when did they start to recover from the sexual dysfunction issues.

Honey that's me, and I've never had invega! 😄 I have ADHD (Inattentive type) though.
To be serious though, I really hope your motivation returns very soon <3
 
I’m taking two antipsychotics. Abilify Maintena 400 mg injection and Loxapine. Idk how I got a buzz last night
 
I wonder if those of you who don't see any improvement after a lot of time off invega, take also other Antipsychotic drugs meanwhile...
