I decided to quit all antipsychotics. Im a week off this drug, and this extreme fatigue, tiredness, sleepiness, resistance to doing anything...whatever you want to call it...seems to have gotten worse. Some days are better than others. The other day I didn't get out of bed hardly at all. It's funny I only have two side effects...extreme tiredness/lack of motivation and weight gain. I haven't lost emotions, no sexual side effects, and a laundry list of other symptoms that others here usually mention. I'm just bedridden. This is no way to live life. I'd give anything to get my old self back ASAP.

Man we all should file lawsuits.
My dad is getting me a lawyer next week.
I'm going to file a lawsuit against the creators of Invega for destroying my dopamine levels.

I would love to sue invega too. It has ruined my life, probably permanently. After what has happened to me, many people have been suggesting that I sue. Im not surprised that many others would want to as well

Did it give you erectile dysfunction too?.
It did for me and also ever since I started to take this injection nothing makes me happy anymore. If my dad was to buy me a Ferrari I would be like "ok so what"... Before the injection little things in life would make me happy like eating food.

Im female, so I cant get erectile dysfunction BUT invega has made me NOT able to get aroused anymore. For example, I cant feel "blood flow" "down there" anymore. I cant have an orgasm either, even with clitoral stimulation. And yes, I actually have no happiness because invega has made me unable to feel emotions. I mentioned earlier that it had given me severe anhedonia and akathesia. Its horrible to live with. It definitely destroys dopamine and serotonin receptors, but Idk if it does so permanently. I mentioned earlier that I am getting a brain scan done soon, so hopfully i can get more help after the brain scan shows results.

Did you're doctor slowly but constantly push the injection onto you?.
Was the doctor not satisfied about you taking pills?.

My doctor pushed it so hard on me that I practically felt FORCED. So I gave it a try, and I 100% wish I could have prevented this from happening, I definitely should have said no. But the pressure to take it was just too much. To add, I was doing absolutely FINE when I was on pills, so I dont even know why he suggested it in the first place. I am so pissed at my Doctor for even suggesting that horrible drug to me. If I am completely honest with you, I suspect I may not live long due to the injection, for it is unbearable to live with this anhedonia and akathesia. I do want to sue, but I figure "what is the point?", due to the way that I feel.

Same here on living. I've made it 6 months tho

 

[Kaatrina]

I'm 12 months off an living pretty normally. I can feel a little buzzed. Sexual function is at 80% which isn't too bad, and I can laugh and have fun. I'm not at preinvega levels of dopamine but not suffering like i was. Just stay away from psych meds. I started a new internship and I'm doing well and forming new relationships. Normal life is possible after invega. If your psych tells you you will never be normal again, it's not necessarily true. Cheers.

Today was a hard day. Last injection was like 45 days ago and now I'm in deep shit. I didn't taper off...I just quit all antipsychotics. Now I'm suicidally depressed. I wouldn't care if someone came into my house and shot me in the head. I woke up this morning and just laid on the couch all day...could barely find the motivation to feed myself. Also crying spells all day. It is Christmas eve and family came over, like 6 people, and I'm just laying there staring at the ceiling the whole time. I couldn't think of anything to say to anyone either. My mind was just half working. This shit continues to ruin my life for what feels like forever. I know it has to get better or otherwise the company that makes this horrible shit would have an army of suicide victims families suing the shit out of them. Think about that.

Yeah I'm forced to take this because my doctor found out I was hoarding my pills and the judge made me take the injection. I'm on summery probation luckily I have one month
left but when I try mentioning to the medical staff that I will not be taking the injection anymore they swiftly say "the injection is a good thing" "you should keep taking the injection buddy" . My doctor told me I don't have to take the injection once my probation is over so I'm not going to take it. I'm just going to try take a pill . But this time I won't bring my pill container to the mental health department . Big mistake , doctor counted all my pills.

And it's going to take a while,but I'll be successful at it

Its not impossible . We are humans and we want our life's back! I still can't believe they are giving people Invega injections just because someone has a disorder . I can't fuckin understand why they want to cut our dopamine to 30% . I can't believe they don't understand this injection makes it impossible to be you're self and enjoy the dopamine rush from little things in life that make you happy , they simply killed off our dopamine receptors and now we have trouble finding life enjoyable. Why don't they care ? Why don't they understand none of us will have a social life with this injection.
It seems they don't care that I'm going to be single for ever and never get married never find a girl I can be with because this injection makes it impossible to be interested in started conversations with girls , so I guess it's going to be another Valentine's day alone in my room . Before the injection I would be very talkative and found it easy to hook up with girls , now I feel that everything is pointless and waste of time and I find my self stuck in my head with nothing to say . It's like I've become speechless.
I will join you're petition and we will sue the fuck out of the creators of Invega.

[Malakoff]

Hey guys,

13 months off and I’ve recovered 110%
More emotions, more physical and mental power, I’m more creative and it just feels great.
Hang in there, you’ll be fine and this WILL pass.

Wouahh are you able to work?

 

[Malakoff]

How many shots?
3 shots and 9.6 months off for me.
Feeling about 70 - 75% of my old self

75% are you serious I think I'm 50 percent after 10 month and if I'm 75% can be good for go work but like rebelhassan say 110% I just no believe it's not possible it's my opinion

You don't understand what position we are in . Most of us this injection is forced onto us and every time we ask the medical staff / case managers / doctors if we can go back to taking the pills they say something like
"Keep taking the injection it's good for you".
So basically some of us are in a position where the doctors want us taking this injection the rest of our life's . If I tell the doctor I don't want to take it anymore he will laugh and say "but look how good you're doing". They basically in a sick way understand that most patients don't always take their pills or sometimes hoard them , so the whole mental health system assumes we are all guilty of not taking our pills so we have to take the injection. I know this for a fact because my cousin is a RN at a mental health department she works with case managers and when the case manager thinks someone is not taking their medication they automatically put then on the injection. So basically if you meet with you're therapist and you start talking about off topic shit like how you wish you were born during the times of Napoleon they will think you are crazy and put you on the injection. When really you could just be a nerd fascinated by military history they will take it the wrong way and assume you are a dangerous person. Do you understand what fucked up scenarios can happen now?.

Everyone on here has complaints. That's what we are here to do. If we don't tell people how we are feeling then how the hell can anyone help anyone. Do me a favor and don't respond to my posts. You aren't helping and your writing barely makes any sense.
