Mental Health Coming off Invega (paliperidone) injections, v 5.0

[MatteM92]

Questa è un'informazione molto buona, ma sfortunatamente penso che Nina sia in Europa...?

nina is Spanish. it is inside my watsup group. for those damaged by xeplion. however here in Italy you can change psychiatrist

 

[Nina2021]

@Nina2021, What country are you located? Are you in the US? If so, what state?

The reason I ask is because at least in the US, a patient is allowed to change psychiatrists. I would try shopping around until I found a psychiatrist who was knowledgeable on the effects of Invega. Then that psychiatrist would be able to tell your family that Invega is bad for you.

Also, in the US you have the legal right to fill out a Mental Health Advanced Directive. This document, which normally must be signed by witnesses and notarized, will allow you to refuse certain medications in advance should you become incapacitated in the future. So if you are ever hospitalized, you could produce the Advance Directive to your psychiatrist and the hospital and by law, they would have to honor it. The only catch is that sometimes there is a clause that states you must be of sound mind in order to activate the Advance Directive. So if Invega is causing your mind not to be sound, it could possibly be difficult to do.

Spain...

Today I called a private hospital and told them about my problems with Xeplion.

They actually told me that it is possible to get an IV treatment to detox the injection away from my blood. Should I go for it? I'm almost 2 months off

Wait, what? Did they say what the IV treatment is, exactly? I'm sure many people in this thread would love to know the specific details.

According to what the doctor said it's evident that even after two months there's still Xeplion inside me (and hearing that from him was already a big relief, made it sound like he knows a thing or two about it) and I will be hospitalized for a few days with this IV

I'm going to ask the specifics tomorrow when I'll set the appointment. Hopefully they will explain how it works, what exact kind of concoction they'll put into me and if they will also check the paliperidone levels in my blood before and after.


If you guys have any more questions I should ask this doc you can tell me straight away: I'll be taking notes as I'm really trying to get out of these symptoms fast just like everyone else here

I changed psychiatrist once I ended up in another fan of Xeplion. It is for me becoming an impossible task to find help

Wow I wish you the very best of luck with it!! Please be sure to let us know all about it!
If you could specifically write down what they will be IVing you with, how quickly it will take effect, if it will help permanently or if you will need to have repeat treatment, are there any contraindications (any reasons why someone wouldn't be able to have the treatment).
That would be very helpful for us!! Thank you!

Everyone here talked about being tired. I am not tired, ever, no sleepiness, ever, that's why I think my serotonine is high.

no, serotonin is low after invega. Your brain badly needs serotonin as well. For sleeping hormone you need it too.

your brain needs it for producing melatonin.

I had bad sleep as well. It improved with taking the antidepressant.
It takes time to take effect, 6 weeks in my case. Your sleep should improve with it.

Which antidepressant did you try? Sorry if you said it before, I forget.

 

[Nina2021]

Nope her issues arent going deeper than that from what I saw, almost all invega users feel that way. She gets no sleep that could be a problem, but there were 3 users I knew that got 0 sleep for 6-8 months straight and one recovered, about another idk.

My 0 sleep began with the 4th injection, and 6 months have passed. So 8 months straight 0 sleep

I take melatonine pills. They don't help. I wish I had bad sleep, it would mean I had some but invenga has completely destroyed my sleep at the 4th injection

 

[Nina2021]

I hope you will find the right sleeping medicine.

One day you will leave this horror behind.

Try to relax somehow... Take a walk, take a bath, take a tea, take benzos.
Don't have any other suggestions.

Don't give up!! Life is not meant to be like this. Your life will come back.!


One day this will be a faint memory............

I don't know if I would resist. Every day is a fight to survive moreover having all my family thinking that what I have is psychosis to Xeplion. It is truly horrible. Since I don't sleep since 8 months I don't see this passing. And my psychiatrist denying it all. I haven't found a psychiatrist that acknowledges what invenga does. This would allow to illustrate my family. Apparently all of you have understanding families that don't blackmail you to take invenga a say you are psychotic for being in a bad state. I am lying in bed all day which is really hard. I would need to be drugged like Matteo does. But my psychiatrist doesn't give me meds. I don't know what to ask for. It would definitely won't be the one I ask her for. I write long useless texts because it is the only thing that occupies myself. If anybody has an idea on how to convince my family that it was invenga and it is not a new psychosis (I just had one in my life) you are welcome with propositions

 

[Nina2021]

no, serotonin is low after invega. Your brain badly needs serotonin as well. For sleeping hormone you need it too.

Serotonin is low for sleeping and I never feel like sleeping. I did the trial of being awake 80h and I did not feel the slight feeling of sleepiness. To me concept of improving my sleep is not valid because there is none

 

[Nina2021]

@Nina2021 ..........I'm sorry that happened to you. I really am. I can't say enough words to comfort you or to make you believe in life again. I can only wish you peace of mind and someday I hope that you get it.

Are you really a Nurse?

No, I'm not. I have a medical background but have never gotten certified.

i would like to know what this treatment is and of course if it works. and how long it takes and what is the price. where are you? i am in france. in which city is this hospital?

I live in Italy and the hospital I'm going is located in Rome.

All I know for now is that I would have to take an intravenous injection of some kind that allegedly "drains" the toxin from drugs out of blood. I know it is going to cost me quite a bit, though I didn't ask exactly how much (valuing my own health over money here)

I will get a better explanation tomorrow from the doctor, together with an appointment so I can begin the treatment

As if it works...that's something I want to find out too but I'm trusting the doc here

worst case scenario I'll just have to wait months/years to heal normally like I was planning to

Non so se resisterei. Ogni giorno è una lotta per sopravvivere, inoltre tutta la mia famiglia pensa che quello che ho è una psicosi per Xeplion. È veramente orribile. Dato che non dormo da 8 mesi non vedo questo passare. E il mio psichiatra nega tutto. Non ho trovato uno psichiatra che riconosca ciò che fa invenga. Questo permetterebbe di illustrare la mia famiglia. Apparentemente tutti voi avete famiglie comprensive che non vi ricattano per invenga dire che siete psicotici per essere in un brutto stato. Sto sdraiato a letto tutto il giorno, il che è davvero difficile. Avrei bisogno di essere drogato come fa Matteo. Ma il mio psichiatra non mi dà medicine. Non so cosa chiedere. Non sarebbe sicuramente quello che le chiedo. Scrivo lunghi testi inutili perché è l'unica cosa che mi occupa.

yes I am a junkie but trust me also to take 5 stilnox a day which erase the memory and worsen the insomnia so that you no longer feel their effect. and after 10 hours without taking it you are in pure abstinence, it is not the best. I also go to the sea (I'm 11 months old) swimming ... but my brain is burned. I forget everything and in the evening I seem to have dreamed of what I did ... anyway 6-8 months sleeping zero is impossible or we would already be dead. even if I sleep I wake up as if I had not slept ... I am not so much an example to follow. I could do bodybuilding or work it would be ok ... but I'm a grub
