For me I’d rather go to jail then be put on CTO too take 12 injections, however taking the loading doses for me personally wasnt as bad as being in jail for a year would be I have been recovering faster then average, by the time I was at month 5 I was about 60% recovered and that mental prison was no longer as bad as the idea of being in jail, however if I was presented that choice again I’d go with going to jail if I were too take 2 more shots I would probably still recover yes but there’s no guarantee it would go as smoothly as the first time or that I wouldn’t be left with permanent damage, tbh I’ve been mentally scarred from invega I’m pretty sure I got PTSD from it thinking about it sometimes makes me really angry and fearful but I manage is pretty good and don’t let it consume my life, tbh compared to other people it was still hell on earth for me yes but I didn’t have it as bad as other people like @t_xeplionhell, I never struggled with insomnia in fact I slept abnormally too much which sleep is how the brain and body heals so the people who don’t get hit with insomnia are at a huge advantage.

I seriously wish I was in your situation, or anyone that is capable of recieving some kind of sleep. I'd MUCH rather oversleep then to practically get little to no sleep, since it will only cause tons upon tons of other obvious health issues. I've already tried multiple supposed remedies but nothing has been of any use and at this rate I'm genuinely loosing my mind and feel desperate for help.

Honestly if it’s really that bad it wouldn’t hurt to try and get some klonopin, I’d say take the lowest dose possible for sleep and try not to take it everyday so you don’t build a tolerance and it stays effective if the insomnia like that persists you can get psychosis, delirium, cognitive decline, and even organ damage.

Hmm, it's primarily used to treat anxiety and seizures, but then again it's a type of benzo after all so it may help. I could care less about possible side effects from klonopin since I'm already in a very serious situation. At this rate I don't see any possibility of making a full recovery mentally, I think it may leave me permanently less intelligent overall.

Ya I mean injections or not chronic insomnia can cause permanent brain damage maybe that’s why you haven’t recovered yet at 21 months @t_xeplionhell, I had chronic insomnia for 3 weeks straight during psychosis before I took the injections but it sounds like you guys had it for months.
 
Just out of curiosity what did anyone do prior and after the injections, in other words did it change the type of activities you do, did they decrease or increase? Unfortunately in my case my life made a complete 180 of what it used to be.

Klonopin fixes insomnia, just don't tell the doctor that's why you want it. Many doctors will deny you klonopin for it, others will give it to you. extreme anxiety should work.

That depends on how many months off invega. But yes, invega ruins lives.

So I basically gotta lie which is absolutely neccesary at this point, to be fair that darn previous psychiatrist of mine gave me invega when I literally only had anxiety and nothing else.

You should definitely get a new psychiatrist it’s fucked up they gave you invega just for anxiety clearly your psychiatrist has no idea what they’re doing.

I would do your research and maybe go to a different doctor before listening to a forum about getting pills. What could work for someone for sleep might not work for you and you could wind up in a lot of trouble with worse side effects. I listened to guy on here who said latuda was a good alternative antipsychotic and not even a month later he was saying how bad latuda was….so these people are just basing it off of there personal experience day by day.

Seriously, I immediately discontinued seeing her afterwards. Though the only possible reason that I could think of is that they gave it to me because I had anger issues which lead up to the point where I made certain threats on impulse, that's still no reason to justify using invega. Now that I remember I think I vaguely remember hearing paranoia as a diagnosis which is complete bs.

So far people have suggested between two different benzos, even smoking weed lol. If only I knew what would give me even the slightest bit of rest then I would've taken it immediately. Like I said earlier nothing has been successful with my chronic insomnia so far so I'm desperately open to taking suggestions from anyone at this point. This must be what people with fatal familial insomnia or sporadic fatal insomnia feel like, the complete inability to enter REM sleep or anything past the first stage, though there are rare occasions where I dream but it only lasts for minutes. ( Forgot to mention that same psychiatrist at the time gave me ativan which did nothing at all for anxiety and benadryl which caused restless leg syndrome. ) So basically they conpletely ruined my life and somehow made it worse in attempt to "undo" it.

Maybe try micro dosing mushrooms or LSD since you’ve never had psychosis this should probably be a safe option for you as long as you take safety percautions this has worked well for me for years id recommend doing your own research before trying but here’s how it affects me, if I take like 1/12th of the dose it takes to trip in the morning I don’t trip or even get high but I get a nice uplifted feeling and slight euphoria and energy it makes me more productive throughout the day then when it wears off I feel relaxed and get very good quality sleep and spend tons of time in rem sleep I micro dose every 3 days and on the days I micro dose I have very vivid dreams which are part of rem sleep and wake up refreshed, it’s also neuroprotective and can help rebuild broken parts of your brain be sure to test what you’re getting to make sure it’s real I’d recommend starting with mushrooms if you choose to do it if what you’re getting is real it’s not addicting at all which is definitely a safer option then benzos or even weed.
