to the room: read and re-read this until you form your own thoughts on what to do.
we all have a hard enough time as it is, the only two things we need to keep in mind outside of the rules of this site are 1. your personal healing comes first and foremost above anything in this world. 2. the sanctity of this thread is for everyone. that being said those who disrupt it are being disrespectful and their actions are their own. we can't control them and we are only in control of ourselves. we are stronger together during this trial regardless of stressful influences whether from within or without. ask questions and talk with each other via PM, in this thread or somewhere else to better understand and organize to make effective decisions in the healing process for yourselves and each other.
we have a unique situation here. invega/xeplion wasn't invented until the last 9 years and no one knows what it's like unless they have taken it. the mods and admins have their hands full here and are doing a great job but they have a hard time understanding what we go through. we've had members in the past who were not on invega and we cleaned house because this thread is specifically for coming off invega. we've had those who suffer in the past over do things and it has brought the thread down some but we don't break our own code when others suffer no matter how much they do. in the past we have helped them one way or another to understand and they have adjusted accordingly. each time it is up to that particular batch of sufferer's to handle the situation like it is up to you now.
i asked both mods of mental health to keep the original thread around and also broke protocol with an admin to ask the same thing. those who suffer are all welcomed here until they break the BLUA's of this site.

please remember that stress is not conducive to the healing progress and that even though quiet a few of us are american, that this site grants freedoms to posters that are not quiet what we have but a lil more than they are use to in their respective countries. we have people reading this without even creating an account or posting and we also have a few new members who we don't want to create more confusion and chaos for since they are just beginning to understand what it is they are going through regardless of what part of the healing process they are in.
trolls are trolls no matter where you go. the important thing is not to feed into them. you can say whatever you want to their face for both the good and the bad but until they understand and want to change their minds you can't force them to. the best way to deal with a situation like this is to ignore someone. they have every right granted by this site to post here and i feel for anyone suffering regardless of my personal feelings for them. that doesn't mean anyone has to listen to them. when one gets under your skin you walk away, ignore them, find a way to distract yourself and don't let them get the best of you. it is vital to your healing process as stress makes it much worse, especially if it's unnecessary.
the reason i asked the two mods and the admin to keep the old thread from being pruned is for the critical information, support and hope it provides for people suffering from such a potent and experimental drug. the information contained in that one and this one prove exactly what HateInvega is saying is wrong. i feel bad for Steph78 for being targeted by HateInvega but it is her choice to respond accordingly. it is our choice to support her.
i choose to support Steph78 so here's what i know which can be verified through the thousands of posts of real people who have gone through what we have and fully healed to live their lives again.
i am a negative exception. i was put on the pill for two years before i was put on the injection. the reason i was put on the pill is because i had to trade it for another pill i desperately need. the lady seen i was labeled with a diagnosis, had a suicide attempt and drug usage in my past. she said if i take the invega pill i can have my other one still prescribed to me. by the time i was off the invega pill the damage was done, i did not have the ability to make clear choices for myself and when they put me on the injection even though i signed a piece of paper stating i knew what i was doing legally with clear sound of mind, it was still not right for me to be on it (especially since i was drugged and coerced) and there is nothing i can do even if a lawsuit is filed against the makers of it. i stopped the invega injection because i could tell something was not right beyond a point of no return, i was literally going to do permanent damage or worse. i did all of this in hopes of finding a solution to my condition in which no one knows anything about, is very confusing and that this one pill i needed helps to alleviate one symptom of it. if i could go back and do it all over again without taking the poison i would, i can't change the past so i will continue to not stop no matter what until i'm healed.
pill: first year 3 - 6 mg twice a day on average. second year was 6mg twice a day. injection: booster injection 234mg then a week later 156mg. 2 more injections at 117 mg followed by 7 more injections at 156mg. 5 years healing. all this equals 8 years and counting invega/xeplion time. again i'm a negative exception and the only one i've found so far. even those less fortunate than the average healers have it better off than me. i try to find everything i can, pass the info off to you guys and relate the best i can. i do not wish to be a negative exception and i'm sure i'm not the only one. it angers me anytime i hear anyone is put on the poison and has a negative reaction.
we all have our own reasons for being on the poison, some are demanded, some are tricked, some are court ordered, some have psychotic induced episodes due to drug use and some are for the sake of finding what helps with mental illness. share them if you want to and not if you don't but pleas support Steph78 however you can. we are all suffering from something that wasn't right one way or another even if there are those who don't suffer from it like we do. what i do know from personal experience and from evidence of thousands of posts is that the receptor targeted leaves us without hope temporarily, it does not allow us to experience drugs like we use to until we are close to being fully healed or actually healed and it does not always allow us to make correct decisions like we use to. that is why we toss these ideas off each other here among other reasons.
trolls are trolls and they weasel their way out of accepting things by reasoning everything away. it doesn't make it less true and yes, they are very narrow and near sighted when it comes to thinking in terms of the mind, that doesn't mean you have to be. you can feed into them or you can ignore them. making the right choice for yourself and for the whole thread is what is important here, not asserting whether one person is correct or not and making them see this because there are better ways to go about correcting and helping someone. we need to get this thread back on topic and a place where we find solace from each other, where we share info, we vent, we find things that work, we look for the antidote and where we lend support and the correct info to those who come seeking help during such a dark time in their life.
now if you'll excuse me i was having a really good f**king day until this happened and i'm choosing to ignore some a**hat who doesn't realize they are making things worse for others who are in the same place as them by walking away and distracting myself (as you all once suggested to me). i do the favor and respect back to you by suggesting you all do the same. the choice is yours.
