Not open for further replies.
Went hypothermic shortly after mescaline followed up by DMT+mushroom trip glad i didn't dose higher....never experienced such side effects before. Had to take a hot shower for almost two hours. didn't seem to experience opening of chakras or Kundalini but then again i was unable to meditate (unlike last time.) Maybe didnt notice it.

Defo feel a whole lot different
 
I cant handle that my life has been ruined by other people forcing their evil drugs on me. Not many people go through this and if they do it's only once, I've been through forced injections 4 other times it was usually one injection in the hospital they would cut my jeans while I was asleep sedated by their drugs and give it to me in the thigh, I never knew why I was in such darkness for months , another time I was forced 4 fluoanthixol injections, it took months to feel normal again and back then I didn't know why I felt so dead for so long. My family put me in a psyche ward again which I can't understand because they already knew psychiatry has destroyed half my life, this time I got 8 injections. I've lost half my life to psychiatry, I don't know if I'll recover this time. It's been a year and a half , 6 months since the last injection. I'm sick of having no life.

Imho invega is worse than haldol, don't get me wrong haldol is also total shit but invega is the most side effect ridden AP. received about twenty haldol injections total in a row daily it never did what one shot of invega did

Went out cycling with my bike for 25 miles something i haven't done for almost one year muscles ache alot right now could fall asleep any moment. Then went out into the forest made a fire and cooked some soup...must be some magical soup because about halfway home i started to feel pressure on my forehead again my heart started feeling a bit better for a short moment and colours turned very bright. Trying to stick to raw food diet and being disciplined about it..raw eggs, raw meat and raw milk, raw fermented stuff. Also going to juice raw vegetables. Meditating was hard i felt alot of psychological garbage and trauma...total ptsd. Every minute some thought popped up about not trusting anyone ever again also difficulty loving self. Allround dissapointment

I'm thinking about tripping again taking MAO-inhibitors and mushrooms. I don't feel comfortable about shooting (IV) ketamine yet i think i probably do it this late spring around month of may. Probably going to do this in the forest during certain astrological cycles. Also going to do ramadan again in the month of april. In a few days going to try access bars session which is somekind of cranial stimulation.

Yes invega is bad I was forced to take the pills, but all antipsychotics are the same for me.

Hang in there. It takes at least 3 months before you start to recover. It's possible to lose weight while you're actively taking monthly shots, I've seen my brother do it. It's rather challenging, but don't worry too much about weight. Focus on getting better. If you're able to post and hang around here, you should be able to pick up hobbies like reading, music, etc. Why not take some time off the forum?

Binaural beats/crystal bowls/meditation were relatively unchanged for me too when I was on the shot.



Marijuana/psychedelics can actually worsen your healing in some cases. In my experience, they were not helpful and just made me sleep for a long time.




Yes, because the trauma of being forcibly medicated adds more negative symptoms to the recovery experience



The half life just tells you when invega leaves your system. It could be a while before you actually feel like yourself due to the time it takes receptors to recover, which doesn't always happen immediately after stopping invega.

How did your brother lose weight while on invega. I want to do what he did
 
Does anyone feel like you become really docile and timid on invega?
While on the drug I would literally tolerate all sorts of shit from people (especially family) and now that I’m almost 8 months off and looking back, I don’t understand why I didn’t stand up for myself.

Invega makes you completely passive unable to think and defend yourself. Loss of memory and personality happened immediately during the injection

Pills are 100X better than injections.
With pills, the brain recovers in just 3-4 weeks. It takes a whole year or 2 to recover from injections 😭

Not only this but it also closes off all your chakras and damages your soul
 
Almost six months off but zero recovery emotionally and mentally not even 1%... what i thought were some emotions are some rational idea about emotions like dirtyinvega said are not true emotions. Also creativity is completely smoked cannot think of anything to say to people, simply unable to hold conversations anymore completely gave up on art as well. Social life is completely destroyed almost nobody wants to hang out or with me anymore because i'm unable to hold long conversations even if i avoid the topic of invega. Instead of zero minutes can hold conversations for 5 minutes maybe. Personality is completely gone as well. I'm not sure how can ever have a relationship without emotions. If i look in the mirror in my eyes i see no soul Emotions gone jezus at first glance it doesn't look like much but i cannot imagine living the rest of life without emotions.

I didn't even want to take the injection...i chose invega over abilify because abilify was giving me horrendous side effects and had no idea invega was worse. I still refused to take the injection but the guy in the next room told me i should take it i could go home yadadada...should never listened to him
 
I know how you feel, it sucks so bad. I want to go back to school and learn but I’m scared I won’t have the same ability to concentrate and absorb information as before invega.
All we can really do is wait for the drug to subside, which officially is supposed to be 10 months but I think about a year or more.

Yes I know, I hope I recover from the 8 injections I've had, Im losing hope.

What meds were you on before. Sounds like you were in quite a bit. Im in same boat as you. This is my 4th time dealing with recovery from antipsychtocis. But im still getting injections since im on a community treatment order. I get psychosis off meds so my fsmily wants me to stay on meds. Im now teying to find a med that will make me feel fine and take care of the psychosis. Hopefully it will work for me. Hoping not every med i tey just makes me feel like shit. There are ppl on antipsychotics that feel fine on them so that gives me a bit of hope.
 
Invega is making me uncomfortable and it’s driving me crazy while taking forever to heal from. It’s been 6 months and I still feel the same since I began to take it which is an awful irritating feeling

I honestly don’t think any antipsychotic drugs is the solution. They’re all the same, just with different side effects.
I think mental illness needs to cured holistically through fasting, meditation, change in lifestyle and diet and mindfulness. Journaling also helps, that way we can read our thoughts from the past and see when we start going astray.
I have just started a 30 day fast to rejuvenate my mind and body and will let you’ll know if it he

Tbh i think some side effects are permanent / semi permanent already gave up on the idea hundred percent recovery
 
Got hit by high sex drive or libido also have symptoms which look like psychosis. Everytime i get some improvement on the physical area i also get hit by psychosis in a certain degree (withdrawals). Smoked some weed at night and in the morning I was meditating on music with crystals, juicing raw vegetables and mindfull eating eating and suddenly i noticed it got hit by an insane drive to masturbate. Looks like a rebound effect from invega. Also had rebound psychosis when i got out of the hospital 2nd time from haldol injections this invega withdrawal feels very similar

I don't even care about sex drive i rather have rock bottom abysmal sex drive and my emotions/heart chakra/soul back. I don't like to masturbate and its still boring AF. Invega also totally destroys your ability to recover from exercise i never before had muscle ache from light cycling on my bike. Also experiencing improvement in memory no interest in reading but i can if i need to... before from month one to three i had no recollection of what happened last year. IQ is still lowered

Emotions are still gone no improvement. The weather sucks its constantly cloudy or raining i have almost no motivation to go outside. Would be nice if good spring weather hits no wind, higher temps and more sun

I'm spending money like a mofo on food, crystals, bike, drugs and crap i absolutely don't need...absolutely chasing dopamine with obsessive buying and eating

Crystals which seem to work best for me are citrine quartz, ruby in fuchsite, ametrine, rutilated quartz, orange calcite/green calcite and moonstone/black moonstone. Ametrine defo nr 1 along with rutilated quartz
