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

[paranoid android]

The thorazine injection a short acting one right?, I definitely could have gone for some anti psychotics during opiate withdrawal when I was delirious the invega shots were way too much for me though I ended up more fucked up when I walked out of the psych ward then when I first came in.

Ya it's as klong acting as oral thorazine basically

Good question, for the most severe cases I wonder if meds even worked, for some people anti psychotics don’t even work for schizophrenia or other conditions.

Most cases of psychosis can be treated though from what ive seen. From what ive seen it's actually fairy easy to treat. I suffered severe memory loss for not being medicated for 3 months

 

[Kaatrina]

Yeah but what I'm saying is will you take them again, you take em I wont destroy my brain and damage it further and mess with the natrual chemicals in my mind.

Hell no. I can't think, talk, pray, be attractive, exercise or enjoy anything on the meds. Even if I went psychotic more than once every two years, I'd rather deal with my life blowing up at those times than Have a slow waking death on APs. I'm really lucky to have a choice in that

yeah I can barely remember a lot of the details of my psychosis it’s very foggy everything felt like it was going a million miles an hour during psychosis.

Cant say I’m proud I’ve earned that name I got ocd tbh, I constantly check here and my other socials normally when people recover as much as I have they move on with their lives and leave the thread I get my exercise and school done and occasionally work for some extra cash but I still need to pick up the pieces I lost in my life after my crisis, my social life really isn’t going so well right now which is probably why I check social media so much and I still lack motivation from depression and anhedonia I thought I was close to recovered a few days ago but turns out it was just a wave of good feeling I’m on vacation now and it’s extremely underwhelming I used to love taking vacations but anhedonia is kinda ruining it, when I get back home I gotta push myself to get a full time job and new social circle, with real good friends.

Anhedonia sucks when you’re on vacation I’ve been there, sorry you’re going through that. I’ve been there.

Ya Ik it sucks, like I used to be a very outgoing social guy always happy to meet people I had a great sense of humor and could always make everyone laugh, now I just feel socially akward and don’t even know what to say cause of the brain fog. I almost forgot who I was before the injections as it’s damaged my long term memory but I’m glad now I can remember my former self atleast.

 

[Merek]

I hope we can return home to the other side soon! If weed is still not working in two years then I know for sure they chemically lobotomized me

Why not try and make the best out of your life here on earth?

It took me three years to completely feel cannabis fully again after getting off Abilify. I wouldn’t worry too much about it . There are other things that can make you happy. Also I took a lot of breaks to make my brain heal.

Yeah it’s very hard, I wish I had some advice for you to get over but I think it’s just going to take time…nothing you can do? Maybe try to have a drink to loosen up? Could help? One or two won’t hurt? Maybe some wine.

Yeah I suppose I’m on vacation so it wouldn’t hurt, luckily I can get buzzed pretty easily off 1-2 beers since I’m under 21 it might be hard to get some espicially since I’m not super familiar with the area but I’ll see if I can.

Hope you have a nice time on vacation! Try to relax and go easy on yourself. You’re still in recovery and try to just be in the moment rather than holding yourself up to expectations.

does anyone know why It take so long to recover from antipsycotics

does anyone know why It take so long to recover from antipsycotics

We can’t give you a specific time as everybody processes and reacts to these drugs differently with 5 shots it should take 12 months, minimum 24 months max, there are rare cases where some people take longer then 24 months or less time then 12 months but generally it’s gonna be 12-24.

^ I misread your question, the reason it takes so long to recover from the injections is cause it leaves your system extremely slowly the half life is usually 40-50 days sometimes even longer then that and it takes about 5-6 half lives for the drug to completely leave your system, once the drug leaves your system that doesn’t mean you’re recovered yet heres what I read from a pro anti psychotic site “slow acting anti psychotics take 2-4 weeks to reach their full effects and even longer to leave your system however once all the drug leaves your system the “advantages” don’t stop there” meaning that the brain is left altered from the injections from the amount of time the drug was in your system your brain has to work hard to return to homeostasis and it takes months.
