Nothing currently, I'm anti AP.
I took abilify pills for like a week after invega ro get my prolactin levels down.

I just got arrested a month ago, sent to psych ward, but I flushed pills down the toilet. So I'm good and got my job back.

It's the APs that fuck people up, if I got injected there's no way I'd be able to work my current job, which is hard labor

After a full invega recovery, I got arrested, sent to psych ward and injected with abilify.

I recovered from that, but both invega and abilify injections fucked me up for life, but I still recovered 100 percent from both with new pieces of myself and some of the old pieces of myself I thought were gone came back

I agree that antipsychotics do more harm than good for sure but don’t you hear voices and have delusions and everything?

Merek whered you read that THC speeds up paliperdone metabolism and that CBD slows it?

That discussion is really volatile.

The argument seems to be whether or not THC inhibit p glycoprotein. Currently it's Saints John's Wort that's been shown to, overtime, help shuttle invega from the blood brain barrier. NAC and high amounts of anti oxidants can assist with similar machinations.

CBD acts as a substrate and may assist with p glycoproteins ability to act as an efflux pump
to shuttle invega out in real time before it has time to do brain damage.

This is on slight percents though, SJW won't block a high volume that's why it needs to be used in high concentrations over a long period of time.

Thc can help in other ways involving nuerogenesis but again toy can't over smoke and high THC weed does damage Grey brain matter. CBD counteracts this, it's why it's smart to mix CBD buds in with your THC weed. You get protective benefits from the weeds downsides.

Howd you get arrested two times?

The first charge was burgarly but that's just being in someone's house when you
shouldnt It got tossed out to attempted criminal trespassing because i didnt steal anything and i was under psychosis. The second time was fighting at my house. Then I got pulled over for not having a license a week later.

Got my license back and my job but owe the state 436 dollars.

And yes, I was on psychosis when I got arrested, so what I'm schizophrenic, I didn't kill anyone.

I went through normal court for the felony case, I didn't want mental health court. I was deemed competent, and the case worked out for me. It

Women literally ruined the workplace, they can't handle the power of HR and it always ends up being ran like a preschool.

Sorry if this hurts a mods political feelings but I'm schizo and this is how schizos talk.

No, you're a sexist jerk and that's how sexist jerks talk, and that bigoted shit does NOT fly anywhere on Bluelight. Pull your head in or go find a different corner of the internet that you haven't been banned from yet.

Let's keep the discussion on topic of Invega please everyone. Thanks.

"So what I'm schizophrenic" sounds like you've made your mental illness a free pass to do crazy shit then blame it on being crazy. That's not okay.
Also sounds like your life is pretty chaotic, having an untreated mental illness.
 
I'm nearly 4 months off the injection and I feel 40% recovered, there is hope guys keep at it it may seem hard at first but you will eventually feel normal again given enough time off the injection, keep the hope up I've had 10 shots and Ive had noticetable difference at 4 month off. It may take some time even a year for me to recover but I'll get there give or take another more 6-8 months I should feel back to normal or something very close to it. Even after 10 shots like me you can still recover trust me hope you all the best and have a speedy recovery.

I also don't come on this thread as often I use to because I've moved on now damage is done I feel better, I'll come once in a while to give others hope that it's possible to recover. :)!

So basically I had the injection for about a year start of 2022 until the end of 2022. Maybe it was a good thing I had the treatment for a year I've been stable for 1 year 4 months now no psychosis, hopefully it will continue like this. Maybe if I didnt have the injection I would of fallen into psychosis beforehand maybe it was a good thing I had the injection for a year yes it has messed me up the side effects but heres a small sacrifice for my insanity.

That’s really good, you might fully recover from this unscathed, unfortunately for me invega gave me PTSD which may never go away but I’m pretty sure I’ll recover my dopamine & serotonin, ability to enjoy things, ability to socialize very well, pleasure and interest in doing things all that etc I’ve recovered from that significantly. I’ve already 90-100% recovered the basics like sexual function, weight, ability to exercise etc I’m very grateful for how far I’ve come and glad it’s not worse I’d take having PTSD any day of the week rather then permanent side effects from invega. It’s good too see we have plenty of people who have significantly recovered in the threads nowadays before there wasn’t as much hope.

Wow what a mod thing to say. He can either be functional and chaotic but able to support himself off APs, or he can be on APs, nonfunctional & disabled with a slew of side effects and a 20 year shorter lifespan.

What would you say when faced with that decision but "fuck it I'm schizophrenic"? Until you live with being faced with a life like that, I suggest you keep your judegment to yourself.
 
Also don't use SJW when tapering kratom while being on AP...lesson i learned today

God damn man, that sounds like hell on earth, maybe taper off SJW or cold turkey it if you’re not super dependent on it you know your body and what’s best for you before you taper kratom, kratom withdrawal can cause psychosis so be careful tapering kratom while also tapering abilify.

I appreciate the soap box from which you're saying this, but you're also prejudging me, as you don't know anything about me or what I have faced or not faced, the life experience I have, the education I have, the mental illnesses that I have, the medications I am currently on and have been on....

I said "Sounds like your life is pretty chaotic, having an untreated mental illness".
I didn't mention functionality.
I didn't say unmedicated. I said untreated. There are many ways to treat mental illness. One way is to simply link in with some kind of mental health care social worker or a mental health counsellor, so that you have someone to talk to on a regular basis about how you're doing. No meds, no doctors, I certainly did not say nor even insinuate that he can either be chaotic and off APs, or on APs and disabled.

There are currently no ways to treat or cure schizophrenia. Most nurses and health specialist do ghost writing...after years in the mental healthcare without having a diagnose (lol) i advice its much better stay away from mental health.

Talk therapy is usually ineffective for schizophrenia, treating schizophrenia isn’t as simple as other conditions like anxiety or depression, in some cases of anxiety or depression not all but some it can be as simple as changing your way of thinking with schizophrenia it’s not that simple, I know you’re trying too help which is nice of you but if you haven’t had the illness you can’t really help that effectively.

You most definitely did, the definition of talk therapy is the same thing as you mentioned here.

Talk therapy is more effective than drugs tho
jaakko seikula does open dialogue which is talkative therapy with 80% success rate
This is high in comparison with drugs which is 10 to 20 %

Mental health nowadays is giving someone a fuckoff dose and tell them to fuckoff
Personally i would rather suffer voices and occasional psychosis than going through the system
