Mental Health Coming off Invega Sustenna (Paliperidone) v3

Status
Not open for further replies.
I’ve definitely got my sexual functions back at least 80% and my sex drive is high again. I’ve been nutting a ton. It’s been 3 months off of the shitty drug.
 
I really do feel sorry for the people who took invega sustenna and other antipsychotic medication. But it is just temporary. What is better is that they should try to have hope no matter what
 
Yes it is temporary fortunately. No matter how fucked it has been for me. I am now 100% positive that it is temporary.
 
Day 44 (off abilify maintena)

My energy level is better. A bit less anxiety.
I managed to work out 3 days in a row. I also study regularly.

Those who are coming off invega sustenna/Xeplion, wait wait and wait until it gets better. I do believe we'll get better.

Nobody told us they haven't recovered after 10 years off this evil drug.

@Rosi71, @invegauser, @iridescentblack. If you are reading this, please give us an update.

Hello you guys,

After a while of consciously staying away from this thread I am giving you some news. First of all I wanna say that I am glad that I stopped reading this thread a while ago, because it dragged me down so much and it made me suicidal for a long time, because of people saying that they take so long to heal. And I did not read all the posts that have been written here, because I have a lot of things to do in my life, that is so worth living once again. I don't write this message to start a discussion but to tell you that I'm writing with a few members in the background through private messaging and I made a one hour long video just for you guys to explain what methods I have discovered and what is really going on in your body. And on top of that I am explaining why none of you is sick or has ever been. It was important for me to make a video, so that people can see with their own eyes that I really am doing better and that I'm out of hell. And I am sharing information with you that no one knows about and that I'm gonna use for my future education as a naturopath with my very own way of healing people.

So you guys could have the chance to be the first ones to be treated by this method that god lead me to discover and you won't find this kind of information elsewhere. Don't listen to anyone who tells you that it is impossible to heal from this, because it is a total lie. And people should not scare others just because of their own lack of knowledge. I'm throwing this statement in here, because I have seen some people who take away the hope of others that are really interested in trying out everything just to get better. If you are one of those and are ready to let go of any chemical bullshit that you may still be using, I am ready to share with you the private video I made for. You know, you guys, I could have gone on with my life and just use my method on the patients I will have in the future (which the first ones will be family members as they have started supporting me, because they see that I was right all the time when I said that I was not sick and that it is the medication). This was one thing I wanted to prove to everyone, even though I was not sure for a very long time that things are going to work out the way I wished it would.

But I have never given up the belief that there MUST be something out there, because god never creates only the dark side of this human experience, he always leaves a door open. So if you are one of those ones who are willing to let go of chemical substances and are willing to clean yourself the way it is supposed to be done, then you can leave me a private message with your e-mail address so that I can send you the link to the video. I did not give all the information I have in the video, because you should start by the basics of understanding what is really going on in your body and the next step will be me creating a facebook group with a step by step guide and all the knowledge I gained. I'm doing it this way because of multiple reasons. First of all I first wanna see the questions you have and how you will react to it. And second of all I really wanna make sure that I am choosing the right people to start working with. And this also presupposes that you stay respectful and accept that you don't know anything at the moment and that you are willing to learn step by step how to cast out this motherfucker out of your body. I know that you will have questions about my symptoms and that there will always be some kind of disbelief, which I'm completely ok with, because I know what this bullshit really does to you.

And I have watched my body transform and have studied everything in detail and I'm not even finished, because god is continuing throwing information towards me, to create a completely new concept of future healing methods. But what I have got so far is enough to heal you guys and I cannot keep this for myself anymore. The reason I waited so long to let you guys know that, is because I needed to give you REAL information and REAL solutions that has no stopping point. This is going to make you better than you have ever been in your life. And it is the fastest, cheapest and safest way possible. Trust me, I'm not a person who would ever give someone false hope, otherwise I wouldn't have waited so long to be sure that it works. But just look at the video, I'm pretty sure that you have never seen someone explaining it so accurately like I'm doing it, not even people who have never gone through such a thing could make the connections I'm making. This is NOT the end of you! I am even ready to do anything for you and record it so that you see that I'm not lying! Even if you want to see how stiff my dick is. Hahahaha ;) So please be the one to help me close the door to hell for good and work with me!!

Nobody should EVER suffer like that!!! You will heal in a few months with this method. I will also support you psychologically and help you regain your voice in this world and stand up for yourself!! I can't allow it that human beings are being tortured like this any further!! I have goosebumps writing this, because it's god telling me that I am so right and it is almost making me cry. So if you have ever seen a post in this thread that took away your hope, don't ever look at it again. I'm gonna change this my brothers and sisters!! This should be the only post you have ever read. And it doesn't matter whether you're 4 months or 18 months off, it works for everyone, and even for my dear Rosi!!

You don't know how much power I have within me now, this has made me solid like a rock. Nothing will ever move me from my position anymore! And I'm like a lion that declares war on the devil! Now is the time to stop suffering and I'm gonna support you until the end of it if you promise me to never give up! Much love to you guys and can't wait to hear from you. This actually makes me horny ;) I wanna jerk off to these good news! hahahahaha! You have to understand my self-ironic humour, I just wanna show you that I actually really have the ability to laugh about it now. Feel hugged by me and I will talk to you soon.

Yeshuah <3

Also, one more thing: Has anyone else experienced severe restlessness, or akathesia from this drug? or have been bed bound since taking it?

Hi, I did for the first 3 weeks, then it was mild restless until I got off the drug. 1 month off the drug the akathisia was about 95% gone. Unfortunately I still have the same thing in my mind at night when trying to fall asleep. It’s like my mind is restless and keeps thinking about mundane day conversations and previous conversations over and over again. Kind of like an ear worm. Eventually I fall asleep though. Of course I wake up 4hrs later and deal with the same problem and then fall asleep again eventually.

Also side note to everyone else, can people please make an effort to stop bantering or arguing or discussing anything trivial. It just waters down what is already not regarded as a credible source of information - this blog. Let’s keep it focused, not argumentative or blame oriented.
 
Hello, I wanted to thank all the people who share their recovery, it gives hope for the future. And it keeps you positive. Well, I was brought to the hospital because I heard voices, and I had hallucinations, but once I got to the hospital, I realized I was not well, and I immediately stopped hallucinating. Although my condition had improved, the psychiatrist prescribed me vaccines. I’ve had three shots of 150 mg xeplion, which gives me insomnia, difficulty talking, blank mind, become calm, no emotions, no libido, no physical strength now it’s been three months since I weaned, I can say that my sleep is 20% better, and I don’t have any more physical pain when I make an effort. I put my faith in God that I will be better in 8 months, good luck to all, keep hope, trust in God. Yeshua
 
Well, it is not enough to just believe in God and wait 8 months to recover. I didn't have improvements for 11 months until I found these healing methods I'm talking about. You have to take action, because God won't do anything until you show him your will to make the necessary adaptations to heal. And everything I'm describing are things you can do at home in your bed while you're waiting. And it is better you use those methods and make consistent steps forwards, than staying like that for 8 months and not know if something will change. And then after 8 months decide that it didn't work out by just waiting and that it was a waste of time. But you guys have a free will and I cannot force you to listen to what I'm saying. I just want to make clear by writing this that you are probably not gonna heal if you just wait, as you can see with a lot of people out there.

And I didn't write my statements above to be one of those that just make false statements and tell others that they are going to heal just to satisfy myself and think that I have done something great for people by telling them something that I cannot know. Because the truth is that none of the ones that claim they recovered can really know if you will! That's why I only wanted to come back here and write to you guys when I am sure that I have found real solutions to this. And honestly, there are people that say they recovered and they are not able to do the things I'm doing and I'm even saying that I'm like 80-90% healed so far, even though I seem to be much better than the ones who say they healed completely. If I compare myself to people who say they're healed (and I have watched every video out there in the past) then I have never seen anyone who can talk like me, move like I do, have harmonised the relationship with friends and family and do the things they really want to do in life. Because the friends and family are the ones that really see if you are yourself again or not. But most people who have gone through this thing, they just say that these are not real friends and don't try to connect to them like they were once connected to them. The truth is that these friends see that these people are not themselves anymore and it is not their fault that they cannot connect or relate to them anymore and it doesn't mean that they are not real friends. I can totally relate to them and understand why they don't want to keep in touch. These people practice self-betrayal all their lives just to not feel bad about themselves, that is why they decide after a while that they must be healed, because they don't have improvements after a while (if they are lucky enough to have improvements at all).

So I just wanna give you straight truth and that is what reality really looks like. And deep inside every single one of them knows it. But it is easier to betray themselves than to accept that truth, because they know that it hurts too much. And I'm not even judging them. But I don't think it is really the way to go and come back and tell people they will heal when they are not even healed themselves. But these people wanna feel that they have a purpose, so they decide that they feel good enough to spend the rest of their lives giving people false hope and tell them over and over that they are gonna heal when they don't even know it. And on top of that they don't know what is really going on in peoples body. So I just wanna make that clear. I'm not gonna say that you will heal, because I'm honest enough to tell you that unless you don't make the steps to support your body to heal, the chance is great you won't heal. And I won't support people who don't want to take real action and are willing to understand what is going on. This message was dedicated to the ones that understand the value of my information. To the rest I can only wish them good luck and I'm gonna tell them straight that I don't know if they are going to heal the way they wish to. Believing in God is not enough, I didn't just believe in him, I tried to listen to him when I wasn't even sure if it's him giving me those impulses. And God can also manifest through a person that gives you solutions.

So it is up to you what you will decide. I cannot tell if people are gonna heal by just waiting, because it was NOT the way I healed myself. And I cannot tell to those people that they are going to heal, as I'm honest enough to tell you, I don't know, it is not the way I healed. I can only offer you the solutions that are almost guaranteed you're gonna heal fast and safe, that I am using. But it is up to you to realise the value of what I'm offering. I think that should make things clearer.

Regards

Ur recovery time is about the same as mine.. I noticed I started feeling motivation and desire to better my self and the adhedonia lifted about 8 or 9 months off.. I'm a year and 3 months off now and I'm still noticing positive changes.. it feels so good to able to cry again and expell negative emotions..
I stay positive these days keeps depression away..

A mental trick that helps me move forward is(control what u can, and let go of what u cant control) I apply the thinking every day and it helps with anxiety and depression and I avoid meds and street drugs I'm do things naturally. I believe out side chemicals take away from the quality of life because everything has side effects, except vitamins of course

Okay, you said a lot of things, but you didn’t explain that method you used to get away with it. Can you tell us a little bit more, so we can see if it’s applicable in our lives and if it would make us feel better. Because aside from prayer, fasting, writing, reading, sports and family that support us I don’t see how you can talk. I signed up for the gym but for the moment I don’t have the motivation to go there, in addition since his injections I get too tired. How long before you get your physical strength back ?
 
You know, there is a reason why I cannot explain those things in few sentences, that's why I made the video, because you need to understand the basic concept first and then I can give you further information with more depth in the facebook group on how to use the things that I work with. It is not just one thing, it is a whole concept and a whole new understanding to what is really going on. If you're interested in finding out what it is, then I can send you the video, if you give me your email address. It is a one hour video and it is not even enough time to be able to understand it completely, that's why I wanna make step by step videos in the facebook group to know how to use it. And with brain fog it is even harder to explain it so that everyone can understand it. But I'm willing to make this effort anyway. So, I created the facebook group before and have already people interested in it that joined. People who are not members in here. So let me know if you want further details through a private message
 
Day 46 (off abilify maintena)

This is incredible. I am almost back to myself. Thank God, this injection is so easy to come off compared to invega sustenna.

Last side effect : anxiety. I'll be healed within a couple weeks or even couple days.

The injection is hard to bear but so easy to withdraw from.

Best regards.
 
It makes no sense at all that the nurses have to give their patients two high starter doses...

The doses should be limited to 50 mg once a month maximum. The starter doses make no sense knowing we take a year to withdraw completely from it.
 
(Day 111) Hello fellow travelers,

It's officially been 111 days since I was given my last dose of Invega Sustenna (I only took the loading dose and the booster dose within a 3 or 4 day time span, a total of two shots). Needless to say, it's been the most challenging experience of my life. The first 90 days off the drug were probably the worst 90 days of my life. I didn't think I would make it! I felt complete anhedonia, dysnfunction, and hopelessness. This drug really has its way of taking away all of the things that make you human -- your ability to think, your ability to love, your ability to feel sexual pleasure, etc. While I don't doubt that there is some merit in the idea of long-acting injectables -- it can certainly keep people out of the hospital -- I can't help but think that the trade-off in quality of life is not worth it. It isn't worth losing your basic cognition, sexuality, and emotions in order to prevent a psychotic episode. While I am sure there are some tangible benefits to taking a drug like Invega Sustenna, it is hard to imagine how it would outweigh the disastrous side effects associated with the drug. I don't think I could recommend it to another individual in good conscience.

Subjectively, it feels like I'm about halfway recovered. The biggest changes came in the 90 day to 105 mark. I think in the last month, I've regained my sense of interest. I've been engaged with social media, able to enjoy video games, and started listening to music again. I've had some good conversations about complex topics, much to my surprise. I've started to regain some of my lost verbal dexterity and I also feel like less of a monotone loser. Life no longer feels miserable, it just feels like a grind to get through the time until I make my full recovery. I'm still dealing with lost cognition, sexual function (albeit, somewhat improved), and motivation, but I at least feel like I've started to regain some of my basic emotions and ability to enjoy life.

This drug takes a lot away from you, so I don't want to discount anyone's experience, but it is important to remember that YOU WILL GET BETTER. My best advice is to occupy your time in a way that you feel is objectively enjoyable. Apply for a job, go out with a friend, write a letter, even if you don't necessarily have your emotional capacity typically associated with those experiences. Your future self will thank you for having put in the work.
 
First time poster here. I was diagnosed with schitzoaffective disorder after I had paranoid delusions which made me travel to Germany from the USA to try and get away from god knows what. I eventually started to believe that the CIA had put something in my body where they could hear my voice and had me following delusions of reference to achieve some sort of end goal. I thought I was being recruited. I was eventually Baker Acted and sent to a veterans affairs hospital. My delusions were beginning to subside and I was coming to grips with reality when they wanted to shoot me with invega. I didn't want them to but they said I would have to stay there for four months if I didn't take the shot and promised to release me in a week if I did take the shot. Long story short, here I am a year later suffering from what I believe to be this medication and not negative symptoms. At first, the medication was fine but then I gained 50 pounds. At that point, I could still hold a job. Now 12 or more injections later(can't remember what dose) I find myself unable to do almost anything. I have to force myself to get out of bed in the morning, I wake up depressed, force myself to make me and my dog something to eat, pop 60 mg of Adderall, some Welbutrin, two ibuprofen and a benzo, walk the dog, then I come home and crawl back into the bed for the rest of the day. I just lay there in a coma, awake with my eyes closed not moving. Then I crawl back out of bed at 4 or 5pm, make myself dinner, pop a Gabapentin, lay in the bed till around 8 pm, take another benzo, play a computer game for 30 minutes, maybe watch a show, then back to bed for the night. This is my daily routine aside from taking one class, my last class to graduate with a bachelor's in business. I only go two days a week for an hour and thirty minutes and I can't wait to get home and get back in bed. I don't want to leave the house unless absolutely necessary and I hate it. I'm basically tired beyond belief and very depressed. I cannot work a job like this. I have emotions but they are mostly negative. If I do get out to visit friends, I'm looking for a couch to lay down on immediately...and can't think of much to say. I wanted to blame my negative symptoms on all this, but I noticed when I got the higher dose injection, the total loss of motivation and energy got worse! That was a rough month. Also, I notice when the shot goes to wear off right before withdraws, I have a bit more motivation and energy, so I know its the shot that's killing me. I told my doctor I wanted off the shot and she is gonna switch me to abilify, but I'm probably not gonna take it. I fear all these antipsychotics. I also requested Prozac for depression. I go off the shot December 10th 2019. So, some questions for the community...what can I expect withdrawal symptoms to be like initially (first two weeks) I've gone through some withdraws when the shot would wear off early and they included confusion, memory problems, shaking, and some irritability. Has anyone else had an experience like mine where they just couldn't stay out of bed or find the motivation to do anything? Become depressed? If so, how long did this last after taking the last shot? Will I not be able to work for another year?...because right now its got me so down that I can't even find the strength to look for a job online, much less show up for one. I look forward to your responses and will post updates on my recovery.
 
Hello Invega9976, your post is greatly appreciated first and foremost I will tell you that there is hope. No matter how horrible it seems there is recovery. I am about 3.5 months off of this horrible drug and I am starting to feel like my old self again. Mr. Sandman put it well, the first 3 months are absolute and nothing short of Hell on Earth. Once you reach about 3-4 months off, you begin to feel better. Fortunately for me I’ve regained nearly all of myself this far along. I am happy to report that my sexual functions and sex drive are back up again to the max it seems. I was able to masturbate 5 times a few days ago and my sperm seemed normal for the most part. My conversational skills are something I no longer need to think about and I generally enjoy the things in my life. I go to sleep some days thinking about the past, thinking about the curse of scizoaffective disorder; this puts me in a depression, although now I know that the depression is likely a symptom of the disorder rather than the invega. Let me tell you, I was beyond depressed on that medication the first 3 months. Suicidally depressed and you will likely experience the same, just remember that IT IS TEMPORARY. I’ve done much reading on a few different websites on the recovery period. For most they make a FULL recovery in 9-11 months. It will be rough but hang in there. I still can’t get high off of weed like I used to and that sucks, however the bright side is that I was able to spend my money on more useful things and not waste my time being high. That is my only issue THANK GOD/ALLAH/LUCIFER IDK ANYMORE BUT SHEESH. I was screwed on this horrible med, I had 4-5 shots don’t remember how many exactly. My confidence is way back up there (I had two gfs and I am considered reasonably attractive) when I was coming off of invega I felt like an ugly and nasty piece of shit every single moment of the day. Now my confidence is back where it was before. I can properly dick these hoes down as I used to. But then again, my body doesn’t look the same, I mean it ain’t bad, but I gained 30 pounds that I cannot see except when I step on the scale it’s weird. Anyway hang in there man. We love you and watch out for some people on this forum as some of these individuals are clearly psychotic. All is well.
