I have the same thought i am so scared they put me in psychiatry again. Who brought you there merek your parents
Well at first I was in drug rehab for getting clean off opiates but I was still detoxing and in the peak of withdrawal I was acting psychotic in rehab threatening people and getting into fights, In rehab I was in this group called the “Titans unit” these were the guys getting clean off meth, heroin, benzos, opiates and other hard drugs, then overnight I wasn’t sleeping and acting psychotic I kept telling the staff there I thought I was dying and that I had untreated gunshot wounds and my organs were failing which I genuinely believed in my psychosis, so they called the ambulance for me and as soon as it got there I sprinted out of the building lowering my shoulder into the emergency exit door and bashing it open turning on the fire alarm, I ended up at the hospital at first they determined nothing was wrong with me then kept me in this room by myself for 2 days where the delusions got worse they kept offering me meds but I thought they were enemies and the pills they’d give me were meant too kill me so I didn’t take them, then they finally had two paramedics come and I was taken to the psych ward I hadn’t slept in 4 days by the time I got to the psych ward.
 
Im at the 8.5 month mark and honestly I'm struggling the most now, at least that's what it feels like. I've got a lot of my creativity back, I can make art again, and I can make conversation and have some somewhat intelligent thought. But I have 0 tolerance to cold, mad anxious, and having a hard time getting out of bed. Is this normal? Cbd helps a little but not a lot.
I’m mad anxious lately too I’m exactly 8 months off, I think by the time you’re 8.5 months off there’s no invega left in your system so your brain is rewiring it’s self back too normal but I think at this time recovery is only a 2-4 months away.

Oh and then they forced you on invega or could you try easter meds first

Do you think I should go to drug rehab to getting rid of invega does that count
 
Do you think I should go to drug rehab to getting rid of invega does that count
It most definitely should count yes, anti psychotic withdrawal lasts way longer then heroin withdrawal but in the eyes of the “professionals” it doesn’t count theyd think your crazy for going to rehab for invega and rehab is the last place you want to be while recovering from invega id recommend just stay home and spend time with friends and family.
 
I dont think so they ll give you other drugs and meds that destroy you even more
yep they gave me a whole bottle of anti depressants in rehab after a 3 minute conversation with the psychiatrist smh, didn’t take them though of course.
 
So u said you take them and threw them away
I kept the bottle with me was thinking about selling them when I got out of rehab but that never happened cause I sprinted out of the building to the ambulance leaving all my belongings behind.

I really wish the best to u merek. You are smart thank u for being so helpful to everyone. Its great we have people like u on this page. U know what they did to a friend if mine in germany? They put her in 12 different meds. She says she is fine but she wanted to go off once she had crying spells from it. Very Bad then she took the meds again she was doing ok again . This is how we notice how Tricks withdrawal is and how Bad psychotropic meds are. A good physician always tells you to take meds only for a certain time if its pain reliever or other meds.psychiatrists want you to be on These meds forever so you become a lifelong customer. Very Bad and once you are on it its so hard to get off.

Even when you tapper off (strong) oral APs, damage lasts very long. And it is a lie that you need to tapper very slowly, I know people who cut their dose by 25% every 2 weeks, with no withdrawals.
I also know many people who quit oral APs cold turkey and had no withdrawals, but doing so is not recommended.

Antidepressants are different story, you can get dependant on them, when quitting without tapper they can give withdrawals but those are nothing compared to Invega Sustenna effects and side-effects.

They did that to me in the psych ward they put me on 5 other meds besides invega once I got out of the ward I cold turkeyed all of them, and ya it’s all about money in their eyes they don’t care if they profit off suffering.
