I will call it kund cuz I dont like to mention its name. Yes. It messed me up in a significant way but I wouldnt call it psyhosis, I was just overjustiful, too much liking fights, dark vibe, "dark energy" so I dont like it now. I learned thru my jurney that Bible is 100% truth and not some story, learning more of it, removes kund symptoms I dont like, also kund is getting supressed.

Some guy I know had possesion due kund, he fall in sleep and when he wake up, somebody said to him that he almost killed a man and then he was hospitalised.

Kund can make you become too "hungry" for more of it, you start liking its power without trying to see what it causes to you.

Thats interesting because this experience of suffering because of forced antipsychotic injections has made me no longer believe in God and even though I prayed for this to not happen to me it still did, so what Jesus said doesn't seem to be true. Pray and it will be given to you, pray with more than one person and I am in the midst, ask anything in my name and it will be given to you, I had a chaplain pray for me as well, all this praying asking for them not to inject me and it still happened, and the hell I now experience every day because of injections. I can longer believe in God or what Jesus said, I don't believe in anything anymore, just that the world is unjust and your either lucky or unlucky.

Have you had it looked in to? Like with an ECG or anything with your doctor?

I had the same problem. Even had a few EKG's done (or it might have been something similar). Tests came back normal. Problem went away some time after Invega was cleared.

EDIT: sorry, not that I'm trying to dissuade anyone. Just trying to state it's bizarre that it's a common theme...
 
How long after you were off Invega Sustenna did you notice your weight going down? I’m currently taking ziprasidone so that might be stopping me from losing weight. I have about ten or eleven pounds to lose and I really can’t eat any less food and I’m exercising every day.
 
Honestly, the weight doesn’t fall off naturally.
I used to think since I put on so much weight in such a short time it should all fall off eventually, but that’s not how it works, at least for me.
I had to work hard to lose the weight by dieting and exercise. About 6 months after quitting invega sustenna, your metabolism should adjust to about normal levels and you will lose weight if you diet and exercise hard enough.
But you will have to continue doing that until all the weight is lost because it’s not easy dropping a lot of weight after your body gets used to having so much fat in the system.
If you don’t change your diet and exercise, you will never lose the weight no matter how good your metabolism gets after quitting.

Are you on any other medication? I definitely diet and exercise as much as I can. But I think the ziprasidone might be having an effect on my metabolism
 
No, I’m not taking any other medication and quit invega 7 months ago.
You could google reviews of the drug your currently taking to check for weight gain comments. But in my opinion, all antipsychotics affect metabolism and cause weight gain.
 
Yeah I reviewed it and it’s said to not effect weight….but I’m not losing so I dunno. It’s frustrating!
 
Sorry, I know how that feels. I’m not sure how necessary your medication is, but you could maybe try lowering the dose if you think that may help
 
Ivd been on 3 different antipsychotics and none of them made me gain weight. Ive never been fat from them lol. All the antipsychotics ive been on just made me feel like shit all the time. I have trouble holding a conversation and i have trouble with negative symptoms like apathy and anhedonia. In thinking of switching to seroquel and if thst dosnt work then ill switch to rexulti. I took seroquel at the hospital and it didnt make me feel weak so i have hope that ill feel better on it. Ideally id like to be off antipsychotics and just deal with the symptoms but my family wont approve of doing that. When i live on my own in 3 and a half years. I might just stop antipsychotics and deal with it until i recover from it then finally be medication free.

I lost my faith too & couldn't feel anything when I went to church even one year off. It was really around 2.5 years off that I started to get spiritual feelings like that again. I think it was more than invega, I had to get over the trauma of having a numb spirit like you describe, & I also had to come to terms with what God let happen to me.

All APs affect your weight...but like the guy above some people are lucky & don't feel the affect. From everything I've heard I really think that all APs are the same to varying degree.
 
Hey guys still not fully recovered, it’s a marathon not a race! Just know regardless Invega won’t ruin us forever, there’s things we can do if we need it. But give it time. It gets better for sure. But a bitch ass medicine like Invega should not be able to be injected. We got this fr just gotta hang in there.
