Mental Health Coming off Invega (Paliperidone, Xeplion) injections v 6.0

[Merek]

I don't have and don't use social media for years. I use phone ~1h daily for calls, SMS and whatsapp mainly for business. Right now I have no such benefits.

Have you ever thought that invega is what’s preventing you from feeling the benefits?

Forget the abilify and go straight for zyprexa or quetapine.
Abilify is the worst of them all along with invega

Abilify isn’t bad for everybody some people can take 30mg of the shit daily with no side effects while others have terrible side effects with 5mg, you also an abilify shot 4-5 months ago so you gotta keep that in mind, I don’t know if I’d go for seroquel right away cause it can take a while for it to start working for psychosis, if I have an emergency I want something that will snap me out of it fast as I would prefer to avoid the hospital at all costs, I would take the minimum dose of abilify required people report after taking abilify they’re out of psychosis in 2-5 hours, then I wouldn’t take anymore unless I have too probably wouldn’t be terrible for me if I just took 1 pill as needed whenever which probably wouldn’t be everyday.

Invega tapers really slowly, you sure you didn’t get psychosis from some of the drugs you were doing? Long term kratom use can cause hallucinations and delusions.

How long were you psychotic

 

[Merek]

How long were you psychotic.

I was psychotic for about 3-4 weeks or so.

From the withdrawal right

 

[sweetheart123]

I wish everyone a happy day going to the gym now

 

[Merek]

From the withdrawal right

Yes & severe insomnia, I also smoked tons of high potency weed during the beginning of my psychosis, now weed alone has never caused me psychosis in the past but given the situation I was in at the time I’m sure it made my crisis worse.

Did you work during that time or go to school

 

[sweetheart123]

Oh look it's April Fools, my 2nd fav day followed by Halloween which is 1st. If only someone could come up to me and say "its just a prank bro", and slap these side effects out of my system. Also my appointment with my new psychiatrist is coming up on the 3rd of this month, or rather after tomorrow so I'll see what happens by then. No more blindly trusting people with medications that's for sure. I want to assume it's unlikely I'll encounter someone as careless as the psychiatrist that injected me with invega but who knows I'd rather play it safe. I certainly won't trust injections for the rest of my life that's for sure.

Were you psychotic while you were being given These shots? Or was it a wrong treatment

Did you work during that time or go to school

No not really, at this point in my life I really didn’t do shit I was in a severe state of depression I had another crisis happen in my life before invega/psychosis/hospitalization, etc where I had lost everything I had in my life so summer of 2022 I just stayed at home and abused the hell out of mainly kratom but other opiates and weed too it became an addiction that got out of hand quickly so I decided to stop all the opiates cold turkey which did not end well as we both know.

So you had a drug induced and withdrawal induced psychosis and then you got invega

 

[Merek]

So you had a drug induced and withdrawal induced psychosis and then you got invega

It was mainly withdrawal induced ya but the weed I smoked at beginning of psychosis most definitely didn’t help, whenever I would smoke weed during psychosis it would stimulate a full blown panic attack every time and I’d completely lose my mind, 5 days into my psychosis I threw out all the weed I had which was probably about 180$ worth of it.

I had two "loading dose" shots of invega about 50 days ago forced on me to get out of the psych ward. Ever since I've had terrible anhedonia with daily suicidal thoughts, anxiety, akathisia, Ed, zero sperm count(which improved about a month in), terrible body pains, sharp/numbing/burning penis pain, pain in kidney, less intelligent, less conversational, and it feels like I lost my soul and good spirit. The injection and how it's ruined me is all I can focus on lately. Its been the worst time in my 23 years. Most of my anxiety I feel now is worrying that things like my anhedonia and spirit might never recover, as I've heard so many stories of others not getting better, even with 1 or 2 shots.Perhaps physical symptoms improving early on are a good sign my brain will recover.

You’re only 50 days in so it’s too early to jump to conclusions or be worrying about your spirit recovering, the people who don’t recover never have any improvements as early as 50 days in so it’s most definitely a good sign you have already had improvements just give it time if you only had 2 shots it’s very unlikely you’ll end up with permanent damage.

Theres people that recovered in 2.5 years Brothers in 6 months. Theres also ppl that never recovered like me. It has been 8 years since i went off the worst for me is the anxiety. No improvement. Some say my anxiety is from the seroquel but i dont think thats true.

I'm sorry to hear that. Did you notice any improvement in youre anxiety after a month or so? I was getting 10/10 anxiety almost all day at first but now it's more like 7/10 at its worst moments. Did you also get anhedonia or still have it? Also thank you Merek for the uplifting words.

your anxiety is most definitely from the seroquel you only took 2 shots of invega 8 years ago so you should have recovered from that a long time ago, many people report getting anxiety from seroquel and youre on 300mg of the shit which is way too much, taken long term that is probably just as bad as moderate doses of invega sustenna and can take a long time to recover from since you’ve built a huge dependency on it. Do you even realize how overmedicated you are right now? If you don’t atleast try to taper the seroquel to a lower dose or come off completely with a slow taper you’re never going too recover.

How long after coming off palperidone did your labido return to pre injection levels. Do you still get morning wood like you did before or is it slightly less did it ever return to pre injection levels.

Month 5 for me

Were you psychotic while you were being given These shots? Or was it a wrong treatment

It was definitely the wrong treatment for sure, I've said in previous posts several times that it was a complete misdiagnosis as I'm not schizophrenic nor have I ever suffered from psychosis. I'm gunna mention this to the new psychiatrist I'm seeing in a few hours, I'm curious as to what their opinion is.

300 mg of seroquel caused me the worst depression
