I think Risperdal is poison and has made me worse, but I believe that the consequences of heavy drug and substance abuse from the internet was also in part the cause of my downfall and the destruction of my health and happiness . I also took finasteride for some time before risperdal consta, which I believe caused me Post finasterid syndrom which has most of the same identical symptoms as risperdal consta. Due to this and speed neurotoxicity I wasnt feeling amazing before I was put on Risperdal Consta and in all honesty I dont think anyone who got Invega sustenna was on top of the world and had a perfekt life either. People put on Long acting shots are almost always dysfunctional, unemployed and socially isolated. Almost always like me they are shot up with it once it has gotten to the point that they are hospitalized.
Although from personal experience I cant believe it, these drugs are supposed to help social isolation, lack of motivation and increase peoples chances of people finding employment. I know from personal experience that for Invega and Risperdal it does to opposite. But then again I think its inportant to point put that Risperdal and Invega are similar to Haldol and are potent neuroleptics, whereas some other drugs, like Abilify, work completely differently (as a dopamine agonist) and actually help depression and anhedonia. Abilify according to studies, not without side effects, helps anhedonia, negative symptoms and depression. Its a myth that Abilify makes you unable to work or function. I have tried it and it is so much different to Risperdal there is no comparison. It boosts mood and sex drive. And millions of people take it for depression. In the long term like most other psychiatric drugs im sure its not healthy for the brain, but it does help a lot of non functioning people become functional at least in the short term. And its much healthier for the brain than neurotoxic drugs like Adderall.
What I never see discussed here is what led to being placed on Invega in this first place. Saying life was perfekt and that you were perfectly healthy and happy and given it for no reason may me the true in a small minority of cases but isnt likely true for the majority. I realize that I am coming off as an a**hole saying this and for that I apologize.
