Has anyone noticed changes in their hair from invega? Mine is horrible it feels like it has build up in it even straight after I've washed & dried it. I looks unkempt all the time no matter what I do even if I straighten or curl it. I constantly have an itchy scalp & I've lost alot of hair. It's ruined my appearance along with the weight gain. Did anyone have bad hair that got better again after invega?

I’ve noticed changes with my hair too…the drug has ruined my appearance also. It could be because of high prolactin levels not secreting the proper hormones. I dunno!

Invega makes you drug addict for life...its destroys a % of dopamine receptors so you will do nothing but crave dopamine ; substances, foods, sex, porn, masturbation anything...and guess what you won't feel jack shit. Some time ago blew through 1 GRAM OF METH IN TWO DAYS.... it gave me the high i would barely get from smoking weed before invega (CBD cannabis that is). You will still be suicidal while being high and the imbalance between dopamine and other neurotransmitters causes behavioural issues

Guys on this forum who claimed to have their emotions back is just bullshit...they are so used to invega for months or years that they can't remember how they felt before invega. Its just false hope to think you will be everything you are pre invega. They all got some nerve problem like less sensitive sexual organs or dampened feeling of orgasm. You can't generate new dopamine receptors....

They dont give invega shit in russia obviously you never see russians on reddit or bluelight i hope russia completely crushes ukraine and the west. If civil war breaks out take out psychiatrist and other goverment shills

Cap. You cant compare you experience to others and expect to have the same results everyone reacts different from drugs, people who don't recover from this tend to frown upon other and tend to be pessimistic towards the whole situation. Only thing I agree with you with is the whole hair situation. It's okay to express your opinion but facts dont lie, people have recovered from this drug, it's on this forum + reddit. I know you have it bad but you haven't even reached the one year mark, I still remeber when you came into this forum you could barely write a sentence, dont forget about that. Good luck too you.

How long does recovery take? I've been off for a little over a month now

From what I've read it can possibly take many months to recover. But please know that you WILL get better. It's a very individual thing. Some people have said that it took 6 months, some people say it took 18+ months. The best thing you can do is to take really good care of yourself. Eat well, eat lots of vegetables, eat at least one hot meal each day (it comforts you). Try and get some good sleep. Drink lots of water (at least 1-2L/30-60oz of water a day). Go for a walk each day as well, even if it's just down the driveway or to the letterbox or around the block. Get those endorphins pumping mate,
 
I recovered my emotions and enjoyment aswell as sexual side effects but only for a month or two and then I had a relapse psychosis and ended up in hospital for 3 months The relapse happened after not sleeping properly for several days and trying to quit smoking didnt help it took several months to where I could enjoy stuff again but the emotions for me it was mild I cried watching a tv show for a few seconds and from that point they kept getting stronger to the point they were too strong so if you come off medications make sure you don’t make drastic decisions and make sure you get enough sleep as I believe that was my downfall im coming off in a just over a year to hopefully stay recovered but if im being honest it’s kind of a reach I just want one more try then if I relapse I’ll stay on meds for life.

how did you end up getting psychosis? were you doing drugs or did it just happen naturally, i was hearing voices once for 2 years and i just lived with it since i preferred hearing voices over being on meds, but now when i hear voices its much stronger so its hard to handle. im being forced to be on meds for life by my family, i dont want to be on meds but they keep calling the cops on me when they think im hearing voices then i end up in mental hospital and put on injections.

It happened naturally due to lack of sleep (about two/3 hours sleep over 5-6 days) and stress from quitting smoking etc I’ve never heard voices I’ve ended up having delusions and racing thoughts.
 
I'm back. Long story short, I got put in a pysch ward again and they gave me AP's again. This time it wasn't invega but olanzapine and in pill form. Does anybody know how long the withdrawel period is? I'm about 2 weeks out and I feel terrible. Never thought I'd be back on this website again. *sigh*

How long did it take for you to recovery sexually?
 
I'm having massive succes with high dosages of taurine in preventing psychosis, improving cognition and sexual dysfunction. I take dosages of 10 to 20 gram per dose up to 3 times a day. It completely prevents withdrawal and rebound psychosis. It didn't seem to do much the first few months of taking it but notice a huge improvement from month 4 to six. Also meditating up to 7 hours a day. Eating alot of raw vegetables, raw eggs, raw meat and juicing trying to be healthy as possible.

Around month six this morning i noticed a radical boost in sex drive and relief in anxiety after taking 20 grams of taurine. Funnily enough for some reason anti-histamines seem to provide some relief from withdrawal especially muscle ache.

If you believe in chakra's, crystals and astrology i have to say the best combination of crystals to wear when withdrawing from antipsychotics is ametrine combined with ruby i wear necklaces, pockestones and bracelets and can feel it when meditating
 
I had a cupping massage today & I'm booked in for acupuncture next week. When she was doing my arms I was envisioning the invega being eliminated. I now have a painful headache at the front of my head and every now & then the sides of my head. I keep feeling jolts of pain throughout my brain.
I ordered Cabergoline from overseas & tracking shows it's on it's way to my local post office hopefully I'll get it by Friday. I'm really hoping it's going to make a difference for me I know it can have side effects but nothing near as bad as invega & I've read so many reviews about the good side effects like improved sex drive, lowering prolactin, getting period back, weight loss some people have even said it got rid of their anxiety, improved their mood, improved their hair
 
Found it almost impossible to keep a vegan diet or fast because invega screws up metabolism very badly. Keto works better ...spiking insulin with sugars is in general a bad idea altho sometimes its needed be ause invega causes bouts of hypoglycemia especially during withdrawal. I found that high sodium/mineral/magnesium intake is very beneficial invega causes ALOT of insulin resistance and dosing high amounts of magnesium helps insulin sensitivity. Invega causes diabetes badly especially if one already got reduced insulin sensitivity.

Tests also shown iron deficiency which is weird because have been dosing high amounts of vitamins and minerals for months. AP causes al kinds of hormonal, nutrient and electrocurrent deficiencies
