Do you have bi polar, schizophrenia? I wouldn’t play around with psychosis…each time you get psychosis it’s harder to get rid of. Why don’t you just get 10mgs of abilify and take it and take it daily? Abilify isn’t that bad and 10mgs doesn’t really make you gain any weight. You should be fine. If that antipsychotic work for you as some antipsychotics don’t work for some people.

Im diagnosed with schizophrenia. I dont like how antipsychotics makes me feel so im not taking them. Also im not in psychosis so whats the point in me taking them. When i get psychosis ill take them until it goes away and then stop again
 
Don't know how some people here say they can't feel weed at all after the injections, I still definitely feel something from it, even if it's not really that pleasant.

GUYS do you think there is a serious risk of relapse ? after the effects of this shitty DRUGS go away ?

Yeah there's a risk, you've just got to keep working hard at making sure your life doesn't suck for long periods of time. Up until the past couple of months I didn't really do shit for 7 months before while I was on the injections but sat at home and contemplated leaving the state but never did it, then when I started to come off of them something in me just snapped and now I'm trying to make up for lost time.

I don't know, I think that my shadowboxing and footwork is getting pretty good now, but we'll just have to see.
 
17 months removed from getting a single shot of Invega Sustenna and all that I can say is that the symptoms are from brain damage from the drug. It’s got nothing to do with the amount in your system because this far off I have 0% of that drug left in me. I haven’t recovered at all. In any way. I’m spaced out 100% of the time (foggy headed), can’t get high, can’t feel pleasure or comfort. Every day is hell and I pray for death every night. It’s permanent damage. That’s the reality of it. No sense in shying away from the facts. Life sucks sometimes this is the reality of the situation.

Xeplion probably has something added to it which Invega does not have perhaps

I totally believe this! Invega Sustenna and antipsychotics give you brain damage! It’s 100% true! I’m sorry this happened to you and I’m sorry it happened to me. To the people who say they’ve recovered I highly doubt they’ve actually recovered to there full potential to what they actually were before the shot. I sure know I haven’t and I’m ten months off. I’m latuda now and it’s a sister drug to Invega Sustenna. It’s brutal. So basically I’m fucked either way.

I've been on 4 years worth of the injections most of them at 117mg, and I can still drive and work for the most part and function. I'm now two months off of everything and not taking anything else psychiatric, It's definitely not the same at all as before but as far as I'm concerned right now I'm pissed and want to still get what's mine while I'm still kind of young and hopefully before the whole world goes to hell. Everyday I just want to beat my own ass for getting myself into this situation. It was ultimately fear and weakness and laziness, and being a dumbass that got me here. I've been taking other 'substances' too to self medicate but it looks like I might have to be getting sober here soon for the most part but not completely.

None. I’m on absolutely zero other drugs. Nothing else is causing this. 1 single shot of that shit literally fried my brain to nothingness. I literally go on because I’m afraid to pull the trigger or I would just do it because I have nothing to look forward to now. I knew it was permanent damage 3 months in because everywhere I looked all I found were people years and years down the road who never recovered.
 
I'm just gonna tell myself that not only am I going to succeed but I'm going to do it even while probably having a broken ass brain right now and also while having been on hard drugs for some of that time too, ha..That might be something to tell some people about someday..but believe me for the most part it still sucks every step of the way, but now I'm starting to hit back a bit.
 
I never see anyone mention being spaced out all of the time and shit looking foggy and not clear cut. To me that is the absolute worst symptom of all of it. Everything looks hideous like I’m looking through a foggy window or something. Whenever I use enough meth to feel normal I become clear minded again and realize that’s how I used to feel and see things
 
I kind of just almost like to think that I'm on some sort of mystical quest or some big 'mission from god' or some shit too to help keep me going, and after what I've seen and experienced in 2010 maybe I am..
 
It also sucks that any 'alternative' substances that you can take to help heal yourself or to help you cope is illegal.

I don’t think there’s any healing this bro. I think it’s simple what happened. When the drug blocked the dopamine receptors it did it in such a strong way that just destroyed them. Once neurons are damaged they don’t heal. That’s the sad truth
