It zeems ridiculous that any psych would prescribe wellbutrin a dopamine agonist to someone who is on invega a dopamine antagonist, of course it wouldn't work and on top of that side effects of wellbutrin can include suicidal ideation and seizures, just not worth it

Antidepressants cause diabetes my(real physician) doctor in the hospital refused to prescribe them.

Wellb7triWellbutrin is an antidepressant reuptake inhibitor and the effects on dopamine are weak even in people not on antipsychotics.. This is significantly different than dopamine agonists like cabergoline and pramipexole which are used to treat high prolactin and parkinson symptoms among other things.

that other guy on the forum used cabergoline he said it helped a little bit but not much its probably something you need to take regularly

Thank you - I meant like an indirect agonist, I hope my point is still clear

You mentioned that you have healed from invega sustenna before. Do you remember how long it took you to heal from it the first time?

I started taking Wellbutrin it doesn’t seem to help my depression I’m very suicidal atp even I have a loving family that would care if I wasn’t here but it just doesn’t seem to help I was depressed before the Invega but now it’s just a extra burden I carry

According to the FDA, Antidepressants, such as Wellbutrin, may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. This may be why you feel very suicidal. The suicidal behavior from the Wellbutrin, added to the effects of invega, is probably a lot to bear. I was off all medications after taking invega sustenna and it seemed to help. I am not going to tell you what to do or what to take, but I suggest reading reviews and information on Wellbutrin before making a decision.

How has it been for you my
2 months have been terrible

The first couple of months after coming off invega sustenna are absolutely terrible. I didn’t start to feel better until around month 7. During Month 1-4, I experienced the worst feeling I have ever felt in my entire life.
 
2 months off i feel lot better, I'm still taking 2 mg respiredone , don't lose hope it get better
 
I went to the gym today after ingesting two scoops of pre workout, 500 mg caffeine. I deadlifted 200kg, not far from my all-time best. I’m maintaining strength. Endurance training is tougher. Still running, but not as often as I’d like. I hope I regain ability to feel buzz off alcohol soon. Otherwise it will be the most boring summer ever.
 
Does Anyone else not have deep thoughts? I am feeling better, but I don’t have any complex thoughts right now.

Ok pal, because you know my diet!

I wasn't very active but I ate relatively light on invega and still went from a size 4 to a size 12. Nit everyone's body acts the same on the medication, but most people do seem to gain weight on it even if they Mao tain the same diet. Being on invega gave me more sympathy for fat people because I learned the big role that physiology can play in weight gain and that it is possible to eat healthy and still get fat depending on how your systems are working. If anyone asks yes my metabolism went back to normal around 12 months ff

I'm glad youre feeling better. I wouldn't expect spontaneous deep thought until time around month 18

No I have that issue too, I'm not suprised considering the fact that invega apparently shrinks certain portions of the brain, not sure if it's reversible though. That and the fact that I literally couldn't sleep for nearly 4 months straight to the point where I suffered a ministroke because of it. I refuse to accept the fact that I sustained permanent brain damage but sadly I'm pretty confident that's what happened, all I can do now is try to live with it, accept it, and work around it. But yeah I have difficulty thinking throughly and clearly now.

Apparently all antipsychotics decrease the grey matter In the brain. How long have you been off of invega sustenna?
