Mental Health Coming Off Invega Sustenna (Paliperidone) v.2

Not open for further replies.
NotAPsycho, that is hilarious that you had such a snapple cap fact. Very amusing. My buddy says he will take all my bananas off my hands, and I will continue to follow a ketogenic diet. My doc agrees that my mood is fine lately, and I can't help but think it may be partly due to my current diet.

LAZAR, JOEY, and ANYONE SUFFERING FROM INABILITY TO LOSE WEIGHT:
my doc and I went over bloodwork, and discovered my prolactin level (a hormone in both males and females) is very high. High prolactic is a known culprit for causing inability to lose weight.
My doctor prescribed me bromocriptine to take 3x a day, and I know from previous experience with bromocriptine that it only takes about a week to lower prolactin levels. I am going to stick with my Keto diet, but I think lowering this prolactin level will be the last key to kicktarting ability to lose weight. I am so stoked. I have all my clothes just hanging around waiting to be worn. I highly suggest you see about getting prolactin level checked (from the Invega; I've been off Invega three months and still have very high prolactin because of it), especially if you are too impatient to wait till it lowers itself in a few more months' time.

I hope everyone is doing well, and I hope this information proves useful for some. Thanks!
 
Just when you think the medication is wearing off, it shows another side of itself.

Thought I was doing better, friends thought I was doing better, my parents thought I was doing better... I was probably right though. 'bout another year of this, at least.
 
I wish some people from the first thread would return and give an update on their current condition.. It would really be nice to get someone's perspective on the recovery process who has been off this drug longer than a year, which is the suggested half life if you had only two shots. I guess people just get better and decide never to return.

Again, not to be a dick, but the literature concerning cannabis use and schizophrenia clearly concludes that it makes things worse. I've heard though of people with psychotic disorders smoking very small amounts and reporting being fine after. But no studies confirm this. I recommend not using it at all. Instead, promote healing through constructive activities like reading, exercising, cooking, or doing good things for others. No person is an island. There are people out there who will be empathetic about your struggles and who will want to help. People beyond just doctors and therapists.

If you have to start the sentence with not to be a dick, but.. you shouldnt even say it. Lol... I don't remember anyone here saying they are schizophrenic, so maybe not just assume stuff like that? Marijuana is linked with psychosis though. And for all we know, all schizos smoke hella weed. So.. You put those pieces together. It's a dangerous, beautiful, tasty plant. That is a fact.
 
I really hope i start loosing all this fat within a few months, all this chubbyness is so emotionally painfull... As for my man boobs i will make a surgery for them if they do not dissapear within a year.

How did you loose so much weight after only 6 months being off invega, ofhers said it takes at least a year to start loosing weight.
 
@Tim32
This is very weird that ur libido goes UP when you smoke weed as from my past experience and people current experience is that their libido goes down when high and care less about having sex during the time. But if it works for u then well...

@Mod
You are a dick.. lol.. kidding. But its true I've heard the same things that people with schizophrenia (which invega is supposedly meant for) are very negatively affected by weed and I am not surprised.. Paranoia is a side effect of smoking it for people who are 'healthy' so could only imagine it increases for people who experience psychoses.
And ofcourse, healing through other means that is reality based and not drug induced even if you do enjoy marijuana in the first place it is still a mind altering substance.

#Losing weight
Losing weight is no problem while on invega just have to be on the right diet and be patient, determined and persistent.. don't look at the scale everyday but watch what u eat at every meal. I can attest to that because not only am i loosing weight on the scale, but people have stopped recognizing me from all the weight ive lost and i'm still on invega but do eat right and exercise. I'm sure its much easier when u stop taking the injection.
 
LuiBliss how many of this invega injections you took? did you feel depressed? any other symptoms ? besides weight loss

Give or take around 26 shots, its been more than 2 years since they started giving them to me.

I've felt depressed on very many occasions and at a point I remember wanting to take anti-depressants.

Weight GAIN is a prominent symptom.

Let me know if you would like to know anything else...

Best,
 
I've got a gift for you guys...

I just made a video where I discuss coming off Invega Sustenna specifically, how I'm doing it and recommend in doing it and my psychological experiences because I am on a lower dose of it. Hence, my withdrawal symptoms. Just to mention to you guys also that I didn't in the video is that I'm really hoping that these are just withdrawal symptoms and not permanent or at least long term.

I am giving myself 6 months to test if I am still experiencing the symptoms and then I would have to re evaluate my decisions, but I would be grateful in hearing your opinions especially from those that have gone down this or a similar path.

Without further ado, the video:

I wish you all the very best in your hopes for recovery. I'm near certain that there is nothing more I can possibly but wait.

To date, I have:
- smoked weed as much as possible as often as possible, variety of bush-grown organic strains, bar
- abstained from weed for a period of 4 months
- ate strictly organic, raw foods for at least 5 months straight
- ran, rode, hiked, swam, lifted weights, yoga, had sex, meditated, stargazed, sungazed - often all for hours at a time, at least one of these things per day over the past 7 years
- ive tried dancing, listening to music, writing, drawing
- ive experimented with countless differing supplements and herbs,
- ive taken LSD at large and small doses
- ive smoked DMT, ciggarettes, mapacho
- ive researched as much as possible, daily, on the topic of antipsychotic healing and their mechanisms of action
- saught advice from people who have experienced it. Professionals also.
- fasted once for 3 days straight, with nothing but flouride-free water
- changed my sleeping patterns many times
- move houses, talked with friends
- read books on this topic
- seen a few "psychics", and spiritual healers
- do sudoku puzzles every morning
- travelled interstate to see specialist doctors
- had countless blood, urine and hair analysis tests done
- attempted to study at uni; twice. Attempted to work again.
- tried to change my thinking patterns
- sat in the sun once for 5 hours, no movement.
- contacted the makers of these poisons
- met with the people who did this to me.


.... Honestly, theres probably more. Basically what I'm getting at is that for the past 2 years I have done absolutely everything I could possibly do tailored toward genuine healing from the POISON they injected into me.

I did not exclude anything which I thought may or may not help. I did it all.

Nothing has worked for me, and I have continued on a rapid decline away from true health and happiness (which is the person I was prior to my entry into the system).

If there is something you have done which has had a noticible gain for you, please let me know. I continue to monitor all sources of trustworthy and untrustworthy information - I will treat myself as a guinnea pig, ready to test whatever the fuck it is you think may work.

The conclusion I came to the moment i was forcefully imprisoned, locked away and shot up was that these people are the sick ones. These drugs are no good for anyone. And that has not changed, 2 years later. Believe whatever the fuck you want, but i am not able to express anything closer to truth.

I escaped from their modern day concentration camps. The fucking gardner left the back door open and me and a mate i met inside did a runner. Straight down the main road bare foot along the train tracks. By the worst possible chance, my "mother" was driving to visit me and called the hospital. They dragged me back. That bitch ruined my life twice in one year, and just this morning she gave away my dog.

I am open to the concept of direct energy weapons/mind control/targeted individuals. I wish that i am wrong about this like nothing else. Yet, i cannot get passed my own realisations and other peoples accounts of this also.

My hands are so numb that i cannot continue to even type.

Please let me know if there is something else i can try.
 
That's exactly it Lui! I am fine with being reduced to a lifeless mass. I am fine with not being able to think, speak or move! I have been stripped of my manhood, my joy, my energy.... Yet, it all seems fine.

Do you know what I mean?

I have been changed into a thing which passively accepts the attrocities that have been commit against me, and without the willpower to do anything about it, I am left with nothing but fineness, haha.

It's not how it should be, by a long shot. I should be undescribeably furious, at least, with the fact they robbed me of my life. 2 years already gone. So much loss, yet its all fine.

I suspect this is how they continue to get away with it? With no ability or means to reject and even fight off everything they do- how could one stand a chance?

I'm surprised you see it - only a few do! I accept that I'm no longer good, and sometimes I'm not entirely bad- but the thing that troubles me most is this sense of being 'fine'. I dont want to be a "normal" person. An average citizen in this society. FUCK THAT! I want to be unique, I want to be different from the mainstream, I want to do the things I want: NOT what they want. It's all who I am. All that is lost.

Thankyou though for your kind words and for continuing the videos. Had it not been for threads like this and the internet in general, theres no telling where I'd be now. Probably still fine though :/
 
SO you were given 26 shots?! People here received 2 shots and were not able to even function, How did you function? did you feel lack of will? lack of pleasure? euphoria? how did you able to get through without the anti depressant? I understand weigh gain Is a symptom, how about the Anhedonia? you didn't get that? there is a lot of things I would like to know! who forced you to take 26 shots? the police? do you live in Jordan? Man there are people from the first post here like Narshe symbolicone , many other who struggled and you make it sound like 26 shots the only thing you had was weight gain and depression? no panic attacks? akathisia? lack of will? what about your prolactin problem? did it go to normal range? what were you doing to control the prolactin problem due to this drug?

I understand Bipolar needs mood stabilizers why didn't you opt for pills or lithium some other kind of alternative that seems much more simplified man, there are many things I do not understand, I saw your videos you have no weight problem at all as a matter of fact you are in shape man, Look at people like Ross Jason who took half what you took and didn't recover, I am really against these shots and must be a last resort , They are definitely a over kill and too much,
 
@ zombie mode

Did you only get 2 shots? And you haven't recovered after 2 years?

@ lui bliss

I think you don't have to taper off injections. Because it disapears slowly from your Body. In a Long periode of Time. Not like pills, they stay for Just a few days in your Body.

Is invega sustenna the only drug that causes problems for recovery? This is the only thread that has so much posts.
 
@Tim32
I had 12 shots. 10 at 400mg, 1 at 300mg & 1 at 200mg which was my last, didn't taper or switch to orals from there. No idea what I was given in hospital, a mix of everything at an unknown dose. I've been off them all now for 6 months. Sorry that my other post wasnt very clear.
 
Last day off this shitty injection was 40 day ago and no recovery no sex ability no sperm feel like zombie get me anxiety always nervous no energy for doing anything in Europe we called it Xeplion I wish I could get back 7 months ago and kick the doctor but, I dont know for other drugs but this shit is injection and have prolonged release that is not examine so much, I started to read about God Im desperate there must be solution to get out of this hell. But I dont understand why we must take shot every month if invega releases so long i body after couple months we are overdosed then.
 
@Tim32
The shots i had were Abilify. Think they had me on Invega in hospital. They say to find one that works for you, but still there are people who try it all and still suffer in a similar way. Pick your poison, its all the same shit just packaged and marketed as being different.

@All
I'm in the early days of taking further action against these people. I have a team of qualified doctors & psychiatrists to back me up: who agree in a flat-out wrong diagnosis and a reckless disregard to my health. Thankfully also, there is a few who have been qualified for ~50 years and are actually far more experienced than those who drugged me in the first place.

If you are in Australia, or even another country, and would like to get involved - feel free to get in contact with me via PM as some do a lot of work overseas also. I'll send you my email to talk further and send you some information so that you can decide further if it is a path you'd like to join me on. I'm meeting with them later this week to finalize plans so do apologize if there is a short delay.

Ideally, id like at the very least compensation and exposure of this industry of death. Wish me luck!
