I just thought about something. Wouldn't it be possible to donate some blood to try and get rid of some the Invega?

I'm actually laughing at this. Imagine a leukemia patient getting all screwed up with anhedonia, TD, and other Invega Sustenna side effects after waking up from a blood transfusion lol.

He be like WTF!? lol

As for me, knowing this time around that I will suffer beyond words for at least the next 7 months or so, I'll just stick with green tea, SJW, and creatine supplements. I figure I will do everything I can to flush it out as fast as possible. I also started going to the gym again and though I can barely lift shit, I do it anyway. Eventually, it will pick up and I'll be as fit as I was the last time around again. Right now I'm 162 pounds and I'm aiming for 190 pounds of muscle. To be really honest with you and I really learned this the last time and though I don't want to sound cliche, working out really helps you out during this ordeal. Not only that you will get tired from working out and can actually fall asleep, the drug is also forced out of your system faster, and the feeling you get after about 3 weeks of doing this is awesome.


Also it's nice to be all jacked when you finally recovered. At that time you will feel like superman, for real.

I have never taken the pill form but I have been on risperidone pills for 2 months before I switched to Invega. I was briefly put on Abilify but had a very bad reaction to it which led to my suicide attempt. It made me even more paranoid than I was at the time and I started believing the government sent ninja commandos to murder me and that the whole psych ward was just a front for this covert operation. I had initially been to the hospital because I became paranoid. I completely lost my mind after not sleeping for 4 days straight. I had some emotional problems and was very angry and hurt. Then I started to hallucinate and have paranoid delusions. I heard demons one night and people making fun of me. Then the next day I heard the television talking about me and saying I was a terrorist. A friend was trying to help me and get me to see a psychiatrist but I ended up punching him in the face. I thought at one point the whole world was against me. It was crazy and I ran away after that. As I was running I see a lady standing at a bus stop. I start shouting at her because I was paranoid that she was wired and wanted to record me. I shouted to her to show me her phone. She calls the police thinking I was trying to mug her. That's how I ended up in a cell then they realised I was insane and put me in the hospital.

I received risperidone pills along with clonazepam. Then I briefly switched to Abilify and tried to kill myself. Then was switched to respiradone then quickly to Invega. I was on Invega for 4 months then I decided to quit. I stopped for 2 months then I resumed the treatment and received a booster shot plus 100 mg shot. Now I am due for another shot but I will not take it. Also I am moving away from the UK to be with my family so I will no longer have the whole system to rely on. I hope that I don't have a relapse though.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I also had a pretty wild psychosis that I might share some day. It was messed up with conspiracies, holy wars, terrorists, spies, gods, ghosts, demons, heaven, and hell. And while it was messed up and frightening, it really was an adventure. I even slept on the sidewalks of DTES (Canada's worst street) and ate garbage there. I was really out of it. My first psychosis back in 2013 lasted for almost 4 months before I was admitted to the hospital. The second time around was just a few days before they drugged me again.


I would love to read more of people's psychosis experiences. These stories tend to be interesting.

Does this mean i will have psychosis sometime just like narshe? Or was he psychotic before?

Is that normal occurance on invega?

Has anyone tried to sue their doctors? I dont see anyone reporting a lawsuit attempt.

6 months. Hormones feel pretty good. I'm starting to get sore from workouts again.

Also from common knowledge, only those who use psychedelic drugs get psychosis and go into relapse. Just stop the drugs and you should be fine. My friend, for example, was doing cocaine and started hearing voices for 3 days. But they went away after he stopped. So if you are a long time user, just stop and your voices will go away eventually.

AND DO NOT think of taking anymore psychotropic drugs. Most are made from chemicals like Chloride, sulfur, fluoride, and have other chains of deadly chemicals.

Add on: I don't think lawsuits will work because the same hunch-backs giving you the drug are running the courtrooms.

I made that account long ago when I was really messed up. I can't even remember what email address or password I used for it. When I was going through psychosis I made so many email, Facebook, and Steam accounts I forgot them all. I was really messed up. I lost my Final Fantasy 14 (an MMORPG) account too, can't even remember the email/password for it.

And, yeah, I'm pretty sure it was because I kept smoking weed heavily that was why my post cessation period ended up with another psychosis. I'm going to be more careful this time around. At least this time around I can differentiate what's real and what's not, and can recognize what a psychosis is when it comes.

Dude, I'm happy for you that you can get back to working out again and getting the sores. I'm still not quite there yet this time around. Just got back to the gym like a week ago and I'm pretty pathetic at the moment. I'm dropped back to 162 pounds and I can barely bench 49kg. I just feel extremely weak, but I'm planning to keep pushing.

Is that really you? Your posts were inspiring for me when I was dealing with this last year. Now I am 90% recovered, although the impact of invega on my body has been long lasting, and I still have severe anxiety as a result of the medication, but have been able to keep it under control. I was also misdiagnosed, and forced to take this poison for 6 months. It was the worst sixth months of my life.

Yeah, it's really me. Not too proud to have to be back here, to be honest. I think I almost recovered fully the last time until I had another psychosis. I forgot exactly how I felt because after having stopped posting here, I just went on and live life. I went to the gym, was working part time, and was playing Final Fantasy 14. This time around I am not as anxious or scared since things are different now and I have since found more and more recovery stories, so I just have to play the waiting game one more time. This time around I'm going to be extra careful.

It's ironic, really, if you look back at one of my earlier posts from v.1 of this thread, I mentioned about this case where a woman's boyfriend relapsed after 5-6 months. I should have taken that as a warning sign, but I was too focused on just feeling better I didn't worry about the relapse nor did I know about the receptor hypersensitivity after cessation. Now I'm paying the price for it.

I'm waiting to see if any of those recovered in this thread would relapse and return here again too. Hopefully, they will be careful and make the right decision. I hope that all of them have the needed supports so that they won't have to go through another round of neuroleptic drugs if they relapse.


I'm really surprised at how huge this thread has gotten over the years. I just hope that within my lifetime something will be done about psychiatry.
 
Guys, don't get discouraged if you notice no improvement. I felt just as bad at the 6 month mark as I did when I was still being poisoned. At around the 8th month off the injections, almost overnight I recovered. From what I remember, my vision and hearing improved first - so music sounded alive, and I could see more clearly. Everything else improved from there.

I recovered 110%. Better and more energetic than I ever was.

There's many people who have recovered. They've told you so in this very thread. Reseafch people like Will Hall & Mary O'Hagan if you must - don't focus on those who haven't recovered; surely there is a reason why they haven't. Perhaps they take other pharmaceuticals and that's one way to damn yourself to an emotionless life void of meaning, feeling.

PS: does anyone know of a country where forced poisoning doesn't exist? I want to emigrate away from Australia. Too corrupt for my liking.

Thanks Zombie that gives me hope. In 2 days will mark 8 months for me. I hope to get the rapid improvements that so many talk about. I am only 5 pounds heavier than pre injection... I only gained 10 pounds anyway but I lost half of it and I have jogged every day for 1 week now. I appreciate the encouraging words and I hope to be really close to back to normal soon. I would really love to hear from Shay96 we were in about the same spot. I will keep you all updated and I really appreciate you all!
 
It's a marketing ploy. Fuck your conspiracy analyses. Drugs that harm people? Yea, drug carts full of 'em. Pass 'em out like candy. By the dozen, probably. No. Try billions per day. All to fuck your memory, rape your senses, fuck your focus and shit on your olfactory.

The argument apparently is that illnesses like schizophrenia (caused by drugs- mind you) have been around for at least 40,000 years, but who's to say the infirmary is in check here. Sensibility? It has some. Recommended? Probably by paranoid psychopaths.

I mean, you can't tell me that a 'born' schizophrenic, assuming, that markers of the epidemic is/are, genetically ingrained as holy when they are raised with nothing but compassion and discipline.

On the other hand... corporeal... we bounce to regular post modernism: a form of torture self lubricae aka willingly and not arguing against meds - in which case, affiliated with trust, aka killing people knowingly (if you want to be simple about it), our doctors would hand you such with the assumption that this is torture...

"But you're to regard it as discipline"

In other words: taking your odball child to a zoo is probably not the way to go. If you suspect your child of having autism however...

A schizophrenic child should be raised as a mediator, not a high ranking student. If by the time they are 24 they are not hearing voices, congratulations parents you did a good job on raising your fuckup. But how do you know your child is a schizo if the symptoms never did appear. I suppose that's where extra sensory "bullshit" comes into play. It's hard parenting in general but because my parents slow poisoned me instead of slapping me, I grew up hollow and empty and not just because I lack the emotional drive to connect (now) but because my body is saturated with toxins.

Has anyone seen that Doctor Phil episode with the schizophrenic girl who's symptoms appeared when she was less than ten years old? Did you notice what the parents were feeding her? Grilled cheese on white bread. Cereal. I would say cereal with no nutritional value but that's kind of redundant. But how do you not feed a person poison? How do we break this cycle?

I was wondering about something guys. Why is that all the doctors and support workers claim that Invega does not cause anhedonia when we all know from experience that it does. It should be sufficient to look at all the reports from users all over the world. But for some reason they keep denying this side-effect. I mean they admit other side-effects such as TD and sexual dysfunction but not anhedonia. When I complained about anhedonia to my support worker he said emphatically that it wasn't the medication because it's not designed for that and that I was probably depressed or something. That's why I don't trust the words of people working in this profession and would rather rely on my own common sense.

To be honest , I should have discontinued the drug a long time ago. I had a psychotic episode but I am not chronically ill. For some reason they kept telling me I needed to stay on the drug for at least a year or so. What purpose does it serve if I am alright mentally and don't suffer from anything anymore. It feels like they just enjoy pushing these drugs onto people for no reason. I am lucky to be in the UK where I don't pay for anything (NHS system - free).

I remember when I was off for 2 months I started to improve slowly. It wasn't very palpable but I felt slightly better. I don't know why I let them convince me to go back on it. Will update you guys on my situation as it progresses and wish you all the best of luck. We can do this. I'm certain you can go back to feeling normal it just takes time.
 
Hi guys,

Invegauser, I was wondering, you quit cold-turkey, how was it ?

Was it that bad ?

And how long had you been taking the dose/at what level ?
 
How is everyone doing? I am glad we all support each other. I have been off invega for 8 months exactly now. I was hoping to feel much better by this point but I think it will be soon to come. I am a musician and I am enjoying music much more lately. I still have anhedonia badly but I try to listen to music a lot because it is one thing I am starting to enjoy again. I hope one day soon I recover rapidly since it had been 8 months already. I thank you guys for listening and I hope you all recover quickly... also a big thanks to those who are healed and stay here to support us!

I'm keeping my eyes on you now that you are 8 months off. I think you will recover real soon, so please, keep us updated.
