How long off of invega should I be able to feel the effects of mushrooms it’s been 13 months @Merek

That’s not a question I can directly answer as I don’t know your specific body & brain chemistry it should only be a matter of time though as long as you don’t take other medications or neurotoxic drugs, it might not hurt to cut back on the painkillers or stop completely cause although they may bring short term relief it’s probably gonna make recovery take longer.

Tried mushrooms 7 months off and 12 months off...it never turned back to pre invega for me just like weed however both still assert medicinal effects without getting high

Were you taking kratom when you tried mushrooms those two times? Kratom has some anti psychotic properties too it I remember pre injections I combined kratom with LSD and it definitely made my trip not as intense in a bad way. Yes I agree that for SOME individuals recovering from invega including myself taking mushrooms can help protect your brain from the damage invega causes even if you aren’t getting high, I remember at the end of month 4 of my recovery I took LSD and I got high as hell but not as high as I’d normally get pre injections with the dose I took however it still benefitted me a ton and I felt a lot better the next few weeks after that trip. I think for me personally invega didn’t hit my serotonin receptors as hard as my dopamine receptors.

1 Month Update from Stopping Risperdal

-lost ~5 pounds
-depression lasted for first couple weeks seems to go from feeling good to feeling depressed
-body dysmorphia is coming back a lot with terrible sadness about this which I’m feeling is a lot of my issues
-continuing to do routine which consists of:Tai Chi, yoga, weight lifting , squats, push ups , planks, reading, meditation. Although I know it helps shape my body and genuinely feel better after , I still feel like I’m lacking the energy and zest for life in a way where I’m feeling stuck mentality/physically
-constant feeling of ptsd from past Abilify use and regret about it

2 Month Update from Stopping Risperdal

-lost 2 more pounds since last time (I probably could have done better but Easter candy slowed my progress down according to my boyfriend)
-still continuing to do my routine from last month
-I’m slowly noticing progress on muscle definition but it’s VERY slow
- added in taking walks with my boyfriend every day around my apartment complex with my dog three times a day as well as running outside on the trail for 6 laps.
This is what I wrote in my journal just now ~~
I’ve lately been noticing myself of slipping up into negative thinking which exasperates a lot of my issues - body dysmorphia, detachment from present moment , low motivation and not looking towards the future as well as unhappiness with myself/ appearance. After losing only 2 pounds this month I realize I need to make adjustments to my daily routine. In addition to the running and walking I’m thinking of walking 500 laps around my kitchen island per day.
~
I plan to also substitute my breakfast and lunch with a pea protein shake and reduce my servings for dinner and limit my snacking. I’m hoping I can stick to it. Sometimes the depression and feeling of nothing changing can be discouraging and derail me from my motivation to lose weight. My boyfriend also bought me white boards and has a check list for me to do every day :) good luck to all of you on your recovery journey hope you all are doing ok!

Only 2 months off is not that far into recovery, you will get better once you make it to around the 5-6 month mark
 
Anyone get severe neck pain from invega around 2 months in or at any point? My entire body hurts but all the sudden I got sharp head pains and woke up a few days ago with neck pain worse than I ever experienced. Unlike all my other side effects I'm not 100% positive the invega is the culprit so I'm asking here if it's possible as I have no clue what else it could be. The pain is way beyond just sleeping on it funny and ever since I got the injection I had some kind of pain daily.

Month 2 i had severe brain pains and uncomfortable feelings in the neck area
My advice is to use neuroprotective supplements

Yes in the early stages of my recovery I had severe neck pain like I couldn’t turn my neck to the side at all, I also had severe back and head pain, it went away around month 5 for me.

I had that same feeling when I was first coming off the injections I felt like I was 85 years old with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s and all I could do was sit there and look out the window, youre the same age as me though and that’s a big advantage if you’re young you have a much better chance at recovering from these things cause younger brains are typically stronger, I’ve read through all these threads and people who are teens or early 20s tend too always recover faster if they’re med free if you can run a mile by 2 months off the injection you’ve most definitely had some improvements youll be fine just give it time.
 
Hey guys yesterday u went to my aunts birthday. I wanted to go outside for a walk alone i couldnt do it. My fear attacks were too high. I took my mom with me then i could walk and enjoy the wonderful weather we had yesterday. I sm 100 per cent sure the anxiety is still from invega. As it hasnt gotten better for 8 years. Its onevofcthe long lasting disability i have. Did anyone get psychotic on invega?that hsppened to me . I become psychotic on all meds since i got medication when i just had mono a fever disease. It was a wrong treatment but i cant sue.

Did you ever take seroquel before invega? Or did you only take it after invega?

You can’t know that your anxiety is still from invega for sure if you’ve been heavily medicated for the past 8 years, I’ve had some intense anxiety attacks on invega but no psychosis, many others have had psychosis on invega though & seroquel.

You don’t have to take meds if your anxiety doesn’t stop instead try and find better natural solutions treating anxiety with pharmaceutical medications never ends well there are no exceptions all it’s gonna do is numb you out for a while so you won’t work on your anxiety and eventually the drug will just make it worse making your problem worse then it was to begin with, if I were in your shoes I’d rather face the anxiety and deal with it then take meds.

Maybe try CBD? it’s a non addictive supplement sold in a lot of smoke shops that has a lot of therapeutic benefits it also has anti psychotic properties but in a completely different way then APS, it stimulates GABA receptors in your brain but has no potential for addiction, it’s nowhere near as effective as benzos or zoplicone but in high doses it should have a noticeable effect on taking the edge off your anxiety.
