Waiting 7 months already and really getting frustrated of the waiting game...have to wait up to 12 to 15 months and up to 2-3 years to completely to get rid of it...this is bullshit everyone working at johnson should be put to death

Take another antipsychotic ASAP and visit a professional. That is what I would do. Fortunately with many safe APs (like Abilify). Psychotic symptoms can be relieved in 2-5 days. Brining you back to normal. It took literally an hour until all of my delusions went away when beginning Abilify. I wasn’t even aware that they were hallucinations.

Hope you recover bro
 
Has anyone recovered sexually? I'm worried that the haldol is going to continue sexual dysfunction. I stopped invega but don't know what to do. Should I wait and see if the haldol works? Has anyone here had issues with haldol? Please respond somebody

I was on the injection for a few months. Then I took 30mg per day for about five months.

Fast-forward several years. These days I take 20mg. Want to take more but the restlessness is gnarly.

I also take clozapine.

Clozapine and abilify, and you want to take more abilify. I find this very hard to understand.
 
I got my prolactin level results today I'm so dissapointed, frustrated & confused. My levels started at 2171 then a month later had gone down by around 500 to 1677 then a month later I've gotten them checked again & they've only gone down not even 100 to 1592 what the fuck. I've even been taking Cabergoline for a month now so I thought it would atleast have gone down just over another 500. I fasted the last test but not this one or the first one. I know if you don't fast they can show as higher but there's no way it would've affect my levels that much. I feel so defeated. I'm still putting on 1-2 kgs a week. I don't understand how the Cabergoline isn't working. I'm saving up for liposuction but I'm worried if my prolactin levels don't go down if I'll end up putting the weight back on again. To those of you that have recovered how long did it take for your prolactin levels to go back to normal?
 
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 Canada but I have been adding people to Facebook from here to talk about this. Do you want to talk on there? I’ll send a DM.

I was on invega for 4 months and abilify for over a year and both where awful. Then i was swi
tched to latuda and within a month my sidde effects went away completely.
 
This medication is no where near healthy it’s been 9 months of me being off invega sustenna and I can barely light jog for an hour without almost passing out and keeping my balance. This is pathetic I’ve been an athlete my whole life. Also, it’s not like I stopped exercising for a while I workout like everyday and it feels like my body is in terrible condition.
 
Guys I have 3 questions , 1) it is normal that I can’t dream when I dream it’s all dark like I can’t see what’s happening in the dream and not even myself?? 2) I’m 8 months off in 10 days but I still can’t feel emotions or time passing or any sensation only a big anxiety and fear; is that normal?? 3) I’m afraid to fall again into psychosis and may I have to take another antipsychotic, but if I haven’t recovered yet from this and I don’t think that I ever will, I’m afraid to take another one

31(days)*6mg risperidone oral) is by xeplion docs equal to 75mg paloperidone monthly, but only 50% of paliperidone is released it means
38mg paliperidone because its how much is released in 1 month.
This is 31*6mg (oral risperidone)= 75mg/2 (paliperidone inj.) -> 186mg= 38mg, to get how much potent is paliperidone -> 186/28=4.9.

So 1mg of paliperidone is equal to 4.9mg risperidal oral.

100mg paliperidone dose is then equal to 490mg risperidone oral and that is 82 tablets of risperidone oral of 6mg. HUGE DOSE. And 100mg paliperidone is same like you get 41 tablet of risperidone oral 6mg in 1 month.

Initial dose invega sus-tena/xeplion is then equal to 200 tablets 6mg of risperidone oral by those values from docs. Also you get half of those in first half life LOL. Overkill.

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