It would be so much better to meet some of you in person rather than just talk on a forum I'd love to have someone that's going through the same thing to hang out with & exercise with. Anyone in Australia Sydney area by any chance?

I'm in Sydney :) But I've just had a newborn bub so I'm not up for any in-person meetings. Plus I've never actually had Invega, I just moderate the forums. But I'm always around to chat if you need to talk to someone :)

Do you have insomnia? Are you able to work?

I have insomnia withdrawals where I only sleep 1-2h at 36 weeks off. I wasn't on any other poison during coming off.

How do you manage? I sleep that few at 3 months off and can't take it. Do you also have anhedonia?
 
I don't know how are you dealing with your daily life. I had to go back with my mother. Some people sound as they can manage by themselves Am I right?

Does anyone else feel when they dream they only have really short dreams and keep waking up many times during the night instead of longer dreams?
Last night I had like 10 different dreams and kept waking up between all of them

Live dynamic lifestyle even if you dont feel properly, it helps burn days faster.

(9 months off)
Yes anhedonia is still here and it bites. I'm working on (creative and intellectual)projects I like if I have motivation, that's when anhedonia is least active and I can feel some good stuff at most of time. Watching TV, I can't do it. My motivation is low on most things. Anxiety still bites.

Hey guys,
I talked to my doctor today after my court order ended and she agreed to lower my dose from 75 mg to now 50 mg and give me seroquel in case I can’t sleep.
People from this forum are telling me I should’ve demanded that I’m not taking anything ever again and cut all contact.
Did I do the right thing or the wrong thing?

Do whatever feels right and good for you. After all, you have to live with yourself. You got your dose lowered and you have seroquel to help you sleep so maybe that's what's going to work for you. If you would rather take zero meds that's fine too but just make sure you are prepared for emotions and issues that might come up and stay in contact with your Dr.

Don't take the advice of the other members in this thread. They are unique and only they know what they need and what they don't. The thread is an echo chamber of misery and everyone feels they will never recover. But if you read the posts carefully you will see they are doing nothing to change their life. They sleep all day or play on the internet all day or just sit on the couch all day. They aren't looking for work or taking walks or getting sunshine or eating healthy. They are flat out convinced they will never recover.......so they never will. They want to kill their Psychiatrists and sue J and J but they never want to tell you the behavior they did to get them on the injections in the first place. Especially the Court ordered ones. They make it sound like they were perfect, well balanced individuals and they were kidnapped and forced on the Invega. Truth be told many of them were probably quite violent and hurt someone. Or suffered true psychosis and after many psych ward visits they still refused to take their meds. Lots of behaviors that they don't want to admit. Just want to tell others that they are trapped like they are and that there is no hope. So you just do whatever you think is best for you !
