It improved? You take it daily? What dosage?
Sometimes I take it for sleeping (after waking up early - and not being capable to fall back asleep).
I read it is a symptom of anxiety or trauma, your mind kinda numbs itself trying to protect you.
I feel like this for months already, it's so weird. :(
Feels like my reality and surroundings are not the same.

It went away completely when i went on clonazepam. Even when i dot take it everyday i still dont get derealization anymore
 
That’s not my logic. My logic is that I am 100% ruling out that it’s the shot causing all these problems. Do you get me now?

Now, since I’m making a claim that I’m targeted covertly, I wouldn’t be able to know exactly how I am being drugged.

It could be drugs in foods, or it could be a silicon chip that gets ingested which holds different combinations of drugs that are released on schedule. Or it could be something else.

But my logic is that it’s not invega sustenna. So stop trash talking when I am actually being logical.
You aren't being logical here.
How would it not be invega shot.

I recovered around half and my recovery is going mostly linear. I buy/make my food and I buy my water. This makes that food/water theory of yours to be impossible.

Now, about your theory of it being released on schedule:
> even if the shots had microchips to release it on schedule, which would be not an efficient way to do it when they can just use chemical compounds (paliperidone) in oil based solution, like they do.

(I had to explain it on your level to help you realize your theories make zero sense)
 
This device is large, technology is not advanced enough to pass such type of microchips through IV/IM injections, they can't be made at such small size.
 
Derealization looks like a wrong terminology. You experience numbness or absence of experience and/or emotion? That isn't derealization.
It's more like my reality looks weird and I feel dizzy. Like had a couple beers. I feel disconnected from the world and my surroundings.
Do you know that sensation when you sleep 0 hours at in the next day you feel kinda high? It's exactly the same sensation.

Isn't this derealization?

Invega made me not sleep for around 10 days straight, 0h sleep. I didn't feel high, I didn't feel anything at all except worst extreme kind of suffering. When I started being able to sleep again, I still experienced the same amount of suffering. At first day when invega took my sleep I suffered equally as 10th day with 0h sleep.

Reality felt weird to me since I couldn't feel anything positive at all, only suffering.

Memories made no sense, everything and every experience I would have was pointless since I couldn't feel anything except suffering, memories were pointless.

Took me 20 months to mostly recover sleep.

Maybe you have memory impairment side-effect. I had that too especially at beginning.

I feel disconnected from the world and my surroundings.
Does this mean you can't experience what's happening or what's happening seems pointless to be part of? That's basic anhedonia or numbness.
 
My life felt like pure bliss before this shit. My brain was full of dopamine and serotonin. Anyone else?
Yea same , I can literally feel my brain crying out for dopamine it all most aches a little like 24/7 , it feels like it’s seized up and damaged from the lack of receptors functioning properly , I feel pretty much brain dead it’s fucked , don’t see how my brain is going to revert back to how it was…

Can you recommend anything that helped your sleep to heal or was it just time ? Do you get tired now ? I can never feel tired since being injected , 6.5 months off and still like that for me

My only significant improvements after 3months now is I can sleep better, I have enough energy to go for a walk, and my brain doesn’t have that strong lobotomy/burning sensation anymore
Improvements none the less , I think you will recover more and more in the coming months

The ability to sleep has made it a lot more bearable. I know you pain of not being able to sleep and feel tired. Laying awake at night is the worst thing in this state not being able to drift off or feel comfortable in your own bed

I don’t have to move my legs anymore from the akathisia but I still have a tension in my legs. It’s not unbearable but I feel it when I’m lying down. I have to cross my legs when I sit.

I can't experience what's happening, feels like a dreamy state of mind. My surroundings looks bright, seems like I am not attached to reality. I feel drank. Know the feeling after you take 2 beers and everything starts to look hard to focus? Your vision starts to feel weird. I don't know the exactly adjectives to describe it.
My english sucks so it's hard to describe properly.

1) I feel drank and the reality looks dreamy;
2) Sensation after didn't sleeping at night, the day after looks weird, like you feel dizzy/lightheaded (at least I feel like this).

This is the closest I can describe. I don't know what is this.
What do you think?

I don't know if is derealization or some kind of symptom due to antipsychotic withdrawal.

I don’t know what the medical terminology is called of this but experiencing different sensations is normal I think in both use and withdrawal. Maybe it’s just your body’s natural shock response to experiencing stimuli again and reacting to that stimuli more after it being numbed from the Abilify is my guess.

That would be a dream, to be honest.
I really expect that everything I'm facing is due to antipsychotic effect/withdrawal. So it's easier to deal with and I am not developing another illness.
 
@iridescentblack does your derealization mean you experience numbness or absence of experience and/or emotion?
That isn't what derealization means.
I don't really understand the differences between depersonalization and derealization. I thought depersonalization was like seeing yourself from third person and becoming somewhat detached. I'm not sure if I can answer your question.
Probably it was maladaptive daydreaming.
