you most likely aren’t going to relapse into psychosis if you had a drug induced psychosis as long as you stay away from drugs & the injection leaves your system so slowly it takes about 8-12 months to completely leave your system most people who have a psychosis relaspe after stopping invega have schizophrenia, I got my psychosis from not eating, or sleeping and kratom/opioid withdrawal I do not have schizophrenia, I’m 6.5 months off the injections I have less then 1.0ng ml of xeplion/invega in my system, I haven’t relapsed into psychosis and I had the worst of the anti psychotic withdrawals when the amount in my system dropped from 5.0ng ml to 2.5ng ml, my man the best thing you can do for yourself is stop taking the injections 8 is a lot of injections and if you keep taking more you’re risking permanent brain damage trust me on this if what you had was drug induced you’re most likely gonna be fine cause of how slow the injection leaves your system even if you do relaspe into psychosis later on have a plan to treat it with something other then invega you’re gonna thank yourself later if you get off invega it’s poison.

I took the two loading doses 234mg & 156mg, what I do to help myself recover is go outside a lot to take walks in nature or in my neighborhood and I’ll take a run occasionally, I hit the gym 6 days a week and push myself really hard, I eat healthy foods like a ton of fruits and meat, I drink tons of water and urinate a lot, I try to keep busy as much as possible I go to school in the morning get a decent amount of socializing there I could definitely work on my social life some more though I need to go out more often besides nature walks and the gym, I do not take any medications & I barely use substances at all maybe 3-5 days a month but other then that I’ve been sober the entire time which helps the brain return to homeostasis as fast as possible, and I try my best to entertain myself to pass time when I’m at home by playing video games, watching tv shows, or bumping some music.

Merek why did you take the loading doses and not take anymore care to explain?
 
I want to share with everybody that working out is a huge help and makes me feel remarkably better afterwards but I have to force myself to do it. Before the workout I feel like I don’t have the energy or motivation but when I force myself to do it I am able to get through it. I am able to get through it and it’s a huge help and I feel better about myself instead of just laying in bed all day.

I did not want to take any meds and at first I was non medication compliant in my psychotic state I thought they were gonna give me mind control pills or basically just use the pills to kill me I didn’t take any for the first 2 weeks at the psych ward but I couldn’t bear being in that hell hole after having only slept 8 outta the last 21 days, going through a paranoid delusional psychosis, and cold turkey kratom withdrawal so I surrendered in my mind I was like fine kill me I know there’s an after life and im going to heaven I give up on saving the world (another thing I thought I’d do in my psychotic state) so I took the 2 shots cause that’s what they said they had for me a day or two later the invega kicked my fucking ass i was laid tf out on my bed in the psych ward after the adrenaline from the paranoid psychosis wore off the barely sleeping at all for 3 weeks, weight loss, invega and FIVE OTHER BLACKBOX WARNING FOR SIDE EFFECTS MEDICATIONS hit me it was god awful I could barely move but being still felt like pure hell I was losing hair on my entire body I felt like a cancer patient I thought I was gonna die I was so disappointed it was the lowest point in my life I thought god damn I’m 18 and I’m gonna die in this hell hole having been depressed most of my life what a waste of life but I didn’t die and after a slept for a few days I could understand the situation I was in more and was out of psychosis I thought holy fuck this drugs side effects are terrible but hey it’s a once monthly injection so it should subside within a month right? Nope that’s not at all what happened but luckily for me I didn’t get put on CTO which I have NO IDEA how when I acted so violently in the ward god really has my back and I’m grateful, I had an appointment to take another invega shot but I didn’t go and I wasn’t obligated too since I wasn’t on forced treatment I did however get a new psychiatrist (she was a really good one and I’m very grateful for her she actually listened to me and understood me way more then the cunt psychiatrists at the psych ward) and took paliparadone pills 6mg 2 weeks then I weaned down to 3mg and came off 5 days later from her recommendation I wouldn’t have taken the pills if I knew the injection is such a slow taper but at the time I didn’t know that cause I hadn’t done all my research on invega yet since I was so zombified.
 
I don't know why, but I'm at the job right now and I'm feeling very depressed. Maybe it's a sign that the brain is realigning itself? maybe it's a sign of recovery? :/

At some (this is quite random) months I recovered more than usual, before those I was temporaly worse for few days.
 
I hope you all recover. I think it’ll be a while before I’m recovered. I think I’ve taken 20 shots since June of 2021. (Four month break until I started taking them again)
 
My shots were of Abilify Maintena. I was on Loxapine and Olanzapine before then and Invega before then. I knew of a personal friend who took monthly injections of Invega for maybe 5 years and my grandmother took them for maybe about 20 years. It’s sad that she couldn’t even enjoy the last days of her only life. She was never able to recover before she died

I got hit with major depression at month 4-5 then it subsided I think that’s the first emotion that comes back I felt so much better once monthly 5 came around I stopped being suicidal.

The depression was pretty intense, I never had anything like it in my life. Definitely it's a withdrawal symptom of some kind. Thankfully it passed once I got back home.
I'm still slightly depressed and extremely bored because of the side effects. But today I got happy because of a major improvement in my sexual function, which is uplifting.
