Does anyone know if invega impedes your immune system? I haven't been sick that many times this year so I'm undecided on that theory. I haven't read anywhere that dopamine or serotonin is linked to your immune system.
It seems to. In my time on Risperdal and Invega (respectively) I wound up getting food poisoning a handful of times as well as sinus infections a couple times. I stopped sharing my cigarettes and haven't gotten a sinus infection since. I'm not really sure if the two are mutually exclusive, though... kinda weird. There was this guy I knew who was always either bumming or looking for a drag off someone's cigarettes. Eventually caught on. Took a couple times though. Never happened with weed, though, which makes it even weirder. Smoked him up loads of times.
To the room, I'd like to eventually piece together a bit of info that people can resort to (like newcomers and whatnot) with general ranges of how long the poison might be in their system for following their last shot. If anyone else is fully healed I'd love to hear your story. If not, I can just dig up the information on my own.
The problem, however, is most of the people who posted about their recovery seemed to also be those who only received a loading dose followed by another dose before quitting.
If I'm to piece together this sort of info I need more recovery stories from those who were unfortunately loaded with multiple shots.
Seems a bit daunting doesn't it? Most of the recovery stories so far are from people who only got between 1 and 4 shots. Therefore, in theory, we can almost assume that it takes far more time for the poison to exit your system if you were given it for an extended period of time, like years. I for one - might have to dig up my notes and journals, but - received almost 2 years worth of shots.
But all the more reason to post a graph or something for people to get a general view of how long their in for before being fully healed.
Fortunately (but not without a bit of dismay) I kinda know what to watch out for in terms of healing because I already came off of Risperdal Consta years ago. At this time I'm starting to see some of that progress.
What's fucked up is I saw that progress (after Risperdal) sometime after about 9-10 weeks (off) - which as a matter of factly actually matched up with some of the calculations I was doing with half-lives. I tried crunching some of the numbers with Invega Sustenna but didn't ever expect I'd have to wait
this long! But that's precisely why I think we need a diagram to make this shit make sense. Make sense?
Since I've been around here a while I kinda know what to expect with this so here's my 'prediction'... 1-2 doses - 4-6 months. 3-5 doses - 5 months - a year. 6-10 doses - 1-2 years. 11-20 doses - 2 - 3 years.
