@lifeline Really exactly like you did when you received it? I used to pace around and had panic attacks the first 2 months, this has changed. You still have it? I sleep just a tiny bit better. And physically I'm feeling different as well. I'm 7 months off. Yes this shit takes a f'ing long time.

i cant understand how you ppl want to do drugs after this experience. If you did some inner reflecting you would see that drugs is what led to the situation your currently in.

Nope. Pharmaceuticals led me to the situation I'm in. I can't do any inner reflecting because of the drug I was forced to take

"But it still feels like it will take months or years and it feels like the people who claimed to have recovered at this stage have just
lied about it or were just still so messed up that they didn't realize it and got used to it."


Sometimes I think the same. Healed People perceive it as 100% healed, but may have gotten used to it by placebo.
Then I am very depressed.
 
Guys, I am here to tell you that when we are healed we know it. Maybe we lose 1% of our abilities pre invega but this is not such a big deal. And I even believe in a 100% recovery. I am now 223 days off and I recently forgot about the invega since I was feeling so "normal". All I need is to have my body run on full cylinders to be able to work my dream job. And I believe I will get my pre invega body and energy levels in less than 2 months.
 
Day 42

First day of class today. My mind is going insane from the drowsiness/dizziness. Invega ruined my life.

Today I also read that inability to nap during the day on invega and difficulty falling asleep may be due to increased prolactin levels, going to try Magnesium and Vitamin E, B6 soon
 
im aware the antipsychotics caused you to feel shit the way you feel now, but what im saying is, there is a reason you got forced to be put on these meds. Im not saying its right for anyone to be put on these meds, but you were not living your average life then you got forced on meds. you must have been having psychosis or acting manic which caused you to get forced to see a psychiatrist and put on meds.

Lol wow, to that aiden guy, man, idk how you could agree to be taking antipsychotics for 4 years. your just one of those ppl that believe in these antipsychotics eh? I met some ppl like that at the mental hospital. Some ppl have been on these antipsychotics for 15+ years and are wondering why they are feeling like shit all the time when they just keep doing what the psychiatrist tells them to do and just keep taking there meds, some take as many as 4 different antipsychotics at the same time just cause the psychiatrist tells them to even though its not helping. Idk how ppl can willingly destroy there own life simply because they want to listen to "doctors orders"

"I think a good way to know if ur healed is if u can cry."


Yes indeed! that is one of the most important indicators where we can see if our dopamine system heals.

Yes, but those formulations always offers room for interpretation.

If a psychiatrist justifies your compulsory medication with the sentence: "You are no longer normal. You are not viable in this way", then that are often very stretchable terms and he
will decide in doubt for the medication and not against it.

This is the problem when people judge about phenomena that they've never experienced themselves.



Dangerous self-endangerment and foreign endangerment should of course be treated somehow, so that it does not come to even worse things.

Yep. Im still here. :) It's not super super great. But I try and eat lots of vegetables and balance diet. I still love my sugar and chocolate mad cake. :) :P No mate I don't play sport ATM. I did back in high school - prob not played for a good 15 or so years.
 
@Neuroleptique33: t en fais pas, LifeAfterInvega nous a confirme qu il est redevenu totalement comme avant. Il y a pas de raison que ce soit pas ton cas.

To the room
Day 224

I went swimming today, feeling good after this. I had an appointment with the psychiatrist today. He was happy to see that I was feeling good without med. Glad to have him as my pdoc.

@LifeAfterInvega : I am glad to read your posts, it is awesome that you feel better than pre invega. I am getting there as well.

I am at approximately 11 months off the injection. I only had one 234mg Invega Injection. It took 7-8 months to feel better. I feel better than I did Pre-Invega at this point, but it has been a long, hard, tough journey. I am not "lying" about my recovery as some people suggests about others comments. I wish the best to everyone, but you got to get up off your @ss and exercise and eat healthy and most importantly "not do other drugs" that are going to rob you of your recovery. Just my 2 cents. I hope everyone is doing alright, just hang in there.

< 3 thank you for giving us hope. That's what I needed right now, because I woke up at around 4am again and my brain feels totally messed up. But I start to feel it a bit at least. It feels like I have sniffed something, like very sticky and like I haven't slept for months. Which is actually kind of true. It's hard to imagine to feel better than pre-invega at this point. We'll see. Thank you very much for your encouraging post < 3
 
hello Empty1128, your pain at the point of puncture is justified, I was not informed, now I looked at the European disciplinary and on the excipients list compose these: Polysorbate 20, Polyethylene glycol 4000, Citric acid monohydrate, -sodium hydrogen anhydrous phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate, sodium hydroxide, water for preparations injectables. What I think is that glycol is not metabolizable.

are these the "ingridients" of the injection?
 
from what I read yes, the source that unfortunately is in Italianhttps://www.ema.europa.eu/documents/product-information/invega-epar-product-information_it.pdf
 
Hey everyone. My last invega shot was about three to four months ago and I'm starting to feel better now. I'm able to masturbate and I'm starting to feel emotions again. They are strange at this point, because I haven't felt some of these feelings in a year. What's happening to me now though is insomnia. I never had insomnia while on invega, I would very easily go to sleep the whole night. (mainly because it was the only thing I wanted to do to escape depression) and now I just feel very energized the whole night. Almost like I had several energy drinks.

I have to say I welcome the energy back, but I do need to go to sleep lol.

Glad to have found this thread. Im surprised that it is so huge, but knowing how shitty invega is on all of us.... maybe I shouldn't be surprised at all.
