if he got taken to the psychward there is a good chance they won't let him use the internet. they didn't let me use the internet for like the first month i was in the psychward. i thought that was kind of weird. hopefully that's why he hasn't responded though.

Ya in our psych ward you could only use the internet if you had data i think. I hope thats the case that hes just in the psych ward or something like that. Atleast if thats the case he will likely be fine eventually

Three invega sustena and two trevicta. How long do you think

I don’t know know. Everyone’s healing time differs. You could be a fast healer or take a long time like some people. I can give you an estimate based on your half life. The median half life of invega trinza is 111 days. For me it took 5 half life’s to feel better but not recovered. And I’m estimating at 7 half life’s I will be functional. So based on my experience it will take you 555 days (1.52 years) to feel good and 777 days (2.12 years) to feel functional or close to being healed. Like I said I don’t know so it could be shorter or longer. The half life theory seems to be working for me. I wish you the best in your recovery.

Hey what about if you’ve taken two injections can you give me an estimate on how the half life time span works??? I had two loading doses 234 Mg and 165 mg about three days apart, just wondering how to add up the time limit with that amount of dosage.

This is precisely what I am hoping as well, either this or rehab, because he was also talking about going to rehab and it's the same in some rehabs/detoxes, you're not allowed to use your phone. I've been in both the psych ward and rehabs and detoxes many, many times, all different types of institutions. Some places allow you to have your phones and laptops, other places take them off you for a certain period of time. In rehab it makes sense. They do it for several reasons, so that you don't have a way to contact anyone to bring you drugs, so that you don't have any external distractions from their rehab program, etc etc. In psych wards I still don't know why they do it...but they do, so 🤷‍♀️

I'm sorry to have to ask again, but does anyone have ANY OTHER INFORMATION about @Merek AT ALL that can help me search for any possible news about him:
- his first name
- the state he lives in (from his IP addresses I think I can maybe narrow it down to either IL or IN but he uses a VPN so I cannot be sure about this at all)
- did he actually attend a school, or was he studying high school via correspondance
- did he ever talk about any hobbies, or any volunteer work

Please inbox me if you have any info at all that could help.

I wish I could provide any kind of useful information about him, I went out of my way to skim through all the posts he's made since the 20th of November ( when he joined ) from v. 5.0 to v. 7.0, and he mostly just talked about drug/substance use which is ironic since he mentioned in his first post he didn't use drugs/prescriptions. He said back on the 4th of February that he was currently 19 years old and a senior in high school, which took him a year or so longer because of an apparent negative reaction to some kind of injection he recieved as a baby therefore causing brain damage, and was apparently going to graduate in June, he was also intending to go to a trade school afterwards. More recently it seems as if his potential suicide was a result of him relapsing into psychosis, therefore declining in mental health rapidly. Unfortunately I was unable to find any information about his real name, the state he lives in, or hobbies/volunteer work, since I believe he mentioned he was holding off on working until he recovered further. I highly regret not checking these forums between the 28th of April to the 18th of May, when I made my first post this month I mentioned that he could use my recovery story to help others but I didn't realize what happened to him until just now. I feel as if mabye just MABYE one extra person supporting him could've prevented him from making that decision. ( I just noticed you mentioned in an earlier comment not to publicly post personal information about him, I hope this is fine... )

Im genuinely curious, how come the two psychiatrists I've spoken with about invega, including the one that prescribed it to me in the first place claim that it benefits people despite the overwhelming evidence that suggests the complete opposite? The first one that prescribed it to me literally didn't care about how much it was making me suffer, they straight up told me to stop complaining about it and leave like what the hell. The second one claims the side effects from invega are actually caused by psychosis which I constantly make VERY clear I've never had a psychotic eposode or anything remotely close at any point of my life. At this point I greatly despise psychiatrists in general and could care less if they rot in the deepest pits of hell, ( except for those very few exceptions that do truly care about their clients. )

I know many people who had psychosis and they never took neuroleptics, and all of them, before + during and after psychosis never had anhedonia, numbness of experience or numbness of emotion. There are also many misdiagnosed people and they still suffer the same things. And also, neuroleptics don't remove/solve delusions they just burry them because person can't process things anymore, they can't focus on delusions, these delusions also stop being important to them during when these brain parts are being disabled and/or damaged enough by the neuroleptic, but after effects weaken enough, unresolved delusions can return because after the person can have slight interests and slight focus, delusions can exist/surface again.

It is also known what happens if the certain parts of brain get disabled (by invega or any other neuroleptic). Seems like your doc lacks in biochemistry and neurochemistry.
More these parts of brain get disabled, the more severe will the issues it causes be and more of them will be obvious: anhedonia, no interests, inability to focus or feel
coffee/alcohol and other stimulants, memory issues, etc.
 
Hello everyone. What do you think is it possible to recover from this poison? How many of you have recovered?

Thank you, that is really helpful, as you've compiled all the details that he posted publicly in to one post. That definitely helps me, thank you again (and yes it's fine because it's all stuff he posted in the thread anyway. I was more referring to personal details like his real name, location etc)

Have I not made that clear? I thought I made it clear what I have been doing. I'm trying to find any news articles that could possibly match with a 19 year old man killed by a train approximately 10 days ago.
I have been doing this Dark Side mod thing for a very long time, this ain't my first potential suicide investigation. We just usually have much more info to work with.
If I do find out that he committed suicide, that will give us closure.
If I can't find anything, then at least I tried 🤷‍♀️

It’s different for everyone. The half life is the amount of time half of the medication to leaves your system. For instance, if you had 234mg + 156mg shots in a three day period, you would have 380mg in your system. You mentioned you were on the 8th month (240 days) a little bit ago, so let’s say you’re on day 250. This means you would more than likely be on your 5th half life of invega sustenna as 250 days divided by 49 days equals 5.1. If it takes a person an estimated 7 half life’s to feel functional, you will be looking at an estimated 343 days (.93 years) to feel functional as 49 days times 7 half life’s equals 343 days. You will also have a little less than 11.8 grams of invega sustenna left in your system right now, according to the half life theory. But like I said it is just a theory. A user named steph78 once called the makers of invega sustenna and asked about the half life theory, the worker said the half life is just an estimate. It is an average half life for users. Some people have experienced longer than 49 days, some shorter than 25 days. I’m assuming the 49 days theory is for the 234mg shot I don’t know about 380mg shot. I’ve seen people with 2 injections heal in 8 months, and people who have taken 2 shots heal after 2 years. Everyone is different.

Today I ran 10 km in the hot sun. Sweating feels amazing. Tomorrow I will do some sprints on the treadmill and finish off with some walking on an incline. Anybody else into fitness? How is it going?

I was very into fitness and eating healthy before invega. Im very surprised you’re doing as good as you are so early in recovery. I couldn’t work out at all until recently. Sat in my bed for 8 months. I used to be very into CrossFit and running. 8-9% body fat 5’9 and 150 lbs before. Now I’m probably 20% body fat at 180 lbs. Run about a mile a day. Workout pretty hard. No CrossFit though, just weight training. Eat egg whites and oatmeal for breakfast. Grilled chicken, rice and vegetables for other meals. Still not losing much weight or gaining muscle. Only been a month. How is your process going?
