I agree with everything you are saying.

I, too, believe one of the reasons, perhaps the main one, why no one cares about our suffering and the reason psychiatrists are so abusive and callous in this regard and get away with it, is because society/medicine/psychiatry looks down on / regards as subhuman, anyone associated with a psychotic disorder or any abnormal psychiatric/psychological issue, and even those with other disorders and psychological issues. I also agree with you bringing up the Holocaust. Genocide and atrocities and the Holocaust have always disturbed me greatly and I've spent much of my life researching them, thinking and reflecting on them, etc. but I have the same sentiment as you do, feeling that our suffering and this catastrophic, endemic mistreatment, deception and poisoning, this terrible injustice that is the epidemic of antipsychotic and paliperidone side effects (including life-destroying, incurable, severe depression and sexual dysfunction) must be called atrocities, atrocities that should be remembered in the history books.

Thanks for your words of support.

in the psych ward i had a very very negative experience with a shrink but after 3 months and a few assaults and threatening a lawsuit later i got a new shrink who was actually good. He did try invega at first but then switched to abilify but although it sucked fuicking balls wss better then being psychotic. i was then switched to latuda which is as it turns out wasent doing the job and gave me akithisia as well i got a virtual doc to script me zyprexa whixh i was already taking a old script my mom had anyway. it's working pretty good and hopefully the weight gain wont be much of a issue.

As bad as invega was it still sucked less then psychosis i have to say. That shit was traumatizing as all fuck

6 months and no improvement in that area.
After taking Zyprexa pills for a month, I lost my belly within 3 weeks after stopping.
With Xeplion it seems super stubborn.

Exercise would definitely help speed up the process of losing the belly especially cardio I did a ton of cardio like running and lifting weights during month 3 it didn’t make me lose any weight at first but it prevented me from gaining any more when month 4 rolled around invega withdrawal got really intense for me I was in a deep depression with fatigue and severe brain fog I couldn’t do cardio or weight lifting however I still forced myself to take long walks which helped a ton the depression and brain fog was so bad though I felt like a retard I was forgetting to eat and barely ate during month 4 I lost the belly entirely and lost 12 pounds I went from 164-152 now my six pack is coming back a lil a little bit before month 5 the withdrawals subsided and I was able to do cardio and weight lifting again I also started eating again I’ve gained 5 pounds I’m 157 now but it’s all muscle the belly hasn’t gotten bigger at all but my chest muscles arms back and legs are getting big again, you might hit a point where you have intense withdrawal and will just forget to eat but you might not lose the belly entirely from that you also need to exercise.

But that's the point, I never had a belly like that before the injections.
I never was the type of guy to get fat because he didn't workout.
I could eat whatever I want on large amounts and barely gain weight.
It should disappear by itself...
The rest of my body is very skinny, it's only that belly, and something tells me it's hormonal. Probably the high prolactin...
I'm too weak to get back to the gym anyway.

There is a test for prolactin.
Although I wasn't tested for it, I'm pretty sure it's still high.

I always lost belly before naturally without needing to exercise.
If I lost my Zyprexa belly before without doing anything, this little belly should disappear by itself too.
I'll give it a couple more months.

Did you go to prison?
 
Hey guys I've been reading your posts and you all struggling with belly fat. Best way to lose belly fat is eat broccoli and drink coffee & run. Do it for couple of months and see the improvements.

Breakfast: Broccoli & 1 egg.
Lunch: Broccoli & Lemon
Dinner: Broccoli & Spinach

If I ever gained a belly, whether from Zyprexa or by eating lots lf donuts, I always lost it within a short period of time without doing anything.
The Xeplion belly should also disappear by itself too, but for some reason, it's still there.
Has nothing to do with lack of exercise.

Hey man look it could just be genetics when certain people gain weight, it distrubutes all the fat to the belly

My genetics allow me to burn fat easily.
It's most likely hormonal, has nothing to do with genetics either.
I never had a stubborn belly fat before.
the rest of my body is very skinny.

Wouldn’t recommend drinking coffee during invega recovery it will slow down your metabolism of paliparadone.

Hi guys,

I'm someone who successfully came off invega a couple years ago. It took me 6 months to not feel suicidal and about another 6 to be 100%. I have recently had another pysch episode and been given 2 doses (150 mg each) of Clopixol Depot and asked my pdoc to come off for similar reasons to invega (akathesia, being suicidal, restlessness, slight anhedonia). Does anybody know how long till I feel better (I'm not suicidal now but I have pretty bad restlessness and I can't nap)? I'm 38 days in and almost 4 weeks of withdrawal. Everywhere online says I should've been better from day 7-14 off the drug but that didn't happen. All my pdocs say 2 - 4 weeks but I'm hitting the 4th week this coming Tuesday. Is this drug going to be like invega where I have to wait 4 - 5 half lives? If so the half life is 19 days at least instead of 49. Any advice would be appreciated, and let me know if you have any questions about invega I could answer.

How many shots of invega did you have and did your libido return and ability to feel substances and emotions/adrenaline I feel like I can’t feel any type of adrenaline rush

I had 3 shots of invega. Yes everything returned and I was 80% recovered and pretty happy by 10 months, 100% recovered and very happy at 12 months.

I have a feeling I might be feeling bad again for another couple months yet, luckily the half life on clopixol is only 19 days compared to 49 days for invega.
