That doesn't necessarily make it true; drugs like this normally have very specific or generalized set of pharmacological targets, and its volume of distribution is not likely high like methadone is (but I would have to do research). Even if it was, I doubt it has infected "every cell in your body" this is unreasonable for an absurd number of reasons.

Lots of <3 to everyone in this thread, I hope you all recover soon. Please stay positive; we want this to be a safe place for anyone with issues ok everyone?

I should have been in here a while ago and I apologize; I've been dealing with well... mental health (ironic isn't it).

I think it does infect every cell in the brain. Why don't the side effects go away? This drug is 100000% worse then having HIV/AIDS.
 
Side/adverse reactions to medications/drugs can last indefinitely for any number of possible reasons. Unfortunately antipsychotics and this drug in particular don't fall under my hole-filled umbrella of general drug knowledge. If I had to take a somewhat uneducated shot in the dark I would say most antipsychotics may have permanent side effects due to dopaminergic damage.

Have you studied the brain? Many of the brain's sytems/functions are impacted by dopamine but not every cell in the brain is effected by dopamine. There's some parts of the brain where it s very applicable, others where there may be a passive action. I doubt the drug is in every cell in your brain.

It might indeed FEEL that bad and I do not in any way want to underscore your suffering <3 I hope you feel better soon. Remain hopeful; this can have a positive impact on recovery time.
 
I did some more in-depth research. To push people on metabolites of older antipsychotics is pretty gross; I don't see many candidates who could benefit from a drug like this in real life.

I am very sorry this medication was pushed on anyone; it doesn't seem like it has much of a calling in modern psychopharmacology.

You don’t recover from this poison, it’s been 2 and half years for me. I have all the side effects weight gain, short and long term memory loss, concentration difficulty, no energy or motivation, super light sleep, no appetite, no thoughts blank mind, loss of emotions, many more things that I can’t put in words

Have you been to specialists/doctors to try to document these side effects?

I am very sorry to hear about the side effects and how absurdly long that seems <3

It depends on your case. Have you been diagnosed? If it's schizophrenia you are more likely to experience psychosis if you stop the medication. What sort psychotic symptoms are you experiencing?

Thanks for writing back, how are you doing? How do you get through the days

Thanks doctors are useless, they made me sick and won’t fix me now. My doctor has no answers my nurse even told me I will never recover
Who do you go to for help when doctors ruin your life and later give up
 
I'm wondering what drugs will work while on Invega Sustenna.... Cannabis, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine have not work since being on Invega.
I've gotten some effects from opioids such as tramadol. What about Meth? Ketamine?​

hey raerae may i ask you how many shots were you given?
 
I happen to think you can recover from the paliperidone. Maybe orals should be diligently taken and over numerous doses in the beginning for full efficacy. It wasn't until I was 4-5 depot's in that I finally saw the light. But antipsychotics are hazardous in their own right. I think they give rise to poor communication skills. which is hefty, because you're relying on that very capability to actually better your chances of a successsful discharge in theory. The depot is a sore spot with me because I literally lost my nerve at the racial overtones where the situation was foreseeable. I made a jibe. It cost me nearly 20kg! so I'd have bitten my tongue if I could do my lines again. Stinks being a BMI that black men can rock when they're only rap singers. Doesn't it just. But there's a sobering element nonetheless and it wears off the longer you steer clear of it, I don't think there is any way it benefits a bad acid experience though. not nearly enough is known about these encounters for me to be comfortable being fortright with the powers that be because they assume everyone who looks and acts just as I do must be meth induced when I am really poorly ADHD and no one medicated that throughout my depot stint. Hmm. Takes a while getting life into order but long story short, some people are just anathema when it comes to the basics like dangerous influences and honestly once you brush them aside you do the amount of growing and healing you need to do in order to combat all but the very worst tribulations. Without any word or hint of support, and despite each setback. You can't possibly plead a lack of education and come up trumps in my logic unless your bent is seriously self-satisfying.

lol - other drugs I would just lay off while on invega but it's an interesting point of comparison. not one that's really worth getting into though.

really seriously everyone's done time on invega, if you've been caught with your pants around your ankles so to speak. I think the worst of it has to be the link it forms with a much too full stomach. the body not registering that the food intake is sufficient and can leave you satisfied. I will never miss that inability to feel FULL. it literally made me into a compulsive over-eater :-/

After reading the past few pages, I will basically say that invega definitely encourages habit-forming behaviour and gives you a compulsion to score (once you're beginning the dose, to start with, then with you always once you opt out of it) which is hard to fight initially, til you end up paying some psychos to just fuck off. I must have been oblivious to the numbers of idiot savants in the scene once upon a crime, that or they've just cropped up now, either way, all the more reason for me to do away with the unnecessary. it literally doesn't erase the tendency to fiend, so they must be missing something. like replacement therapy if that is the leading issue. i could write the book. but whenever I miss my happy pills I get too dreary at the start of my day and I've run low now. The concurrent use for PTSD is just a side bonus seeing as I can order my bananas effectively without it, I just can't stand myself on my ADHD meds because I'm in diligent mode. diligent and dissatisfied do not go well together.

The latuda I'm not getting a whole lot from apart from lack of motivation right now so I might see if I can get the dose reduced.

Hi everyone,

After reading halfway through the v2 thread I’ve come to a point where I’m absolutely compelled to post. I read quite a few recovery stories in the previous thread, although it seems here recently there are quite a few posts saying recovery is not possible at all? Are there any more recent recovery stories here? Please speak out if so.

Personally, after suffering from a stress induced ‘psychotic episode’ I was given the two loading doses of paliperidone two and a half months ago. I’ve been suffering badly from most of the side effects listed here, but fortunately have been able to feel cigarettes until very recently, which has led me to post here. After having a few glasses of wine and a severe headache I woke up with suddenly absolutely no ability to feel cigarettes at all. Not a thing. After 2 and a half months of smoking normally. This is extremely worrying as I’m feeling that an extra area of my brain, the only bit that seemed to have been working, is now also broken now. Also, the kick from the cigarettes has been the only thing really keeping me going. I’m pretty much feeling suicidal most days.

Has this happened to anyone else but the feeling has come back? Any feedback would be much appreciated. Love to all.

Thankyou for your feedback and so glad to hear you’re recovered, it brings me hope for the future! Go out and live your best life :)
 
The 7-9 month mark was where I had had enough of the lethal cocktail they put me on. But, these doctors are such novices, they don't even think to ask leading questions as to how people become aggrieved. They just assume you're the culprit. Anyone's allegations are treated as gospel when you have any mental health indication. I believe the lethal cocktail of drugs they stick you on results in a host of symptoms, if, felt together, could give way to a full blown illness. It's just not funny prescribing weight gain treatment to the diet-conscious, it'd turn anyone mad, especially given these things should be taken with food for efficacy! Never again missing my happy pills. or staying up during sleep time for no reason. i'm tiiiiiiired. i wish there was insta-sleep. to be taken only when safely tucked up in bed.

I took imovane for about a week or 2 and it cured my insomnia , been able to sleep easily for 3 weeks now
 
I can't get zoplicone any more, but might try my old doctor to see if there is any luck. They wont prescribe it due to a past history of temaze for sleep.

for everything else, there's pharmacies online. lol

If not i really really glad for you you deserve very nice job and very very glad to hear you curse is disapear. but 1 weeks after you say not back to pre invega and say it so far to heal "100" no say like that but is was say the same.. explain very Strange story 1 weeks all resurface ? all need answers best wishes.
