So you didn’t take invega injections? I don’t understand you. Are you on invega? Or you took opiates instead. I don’t know your story.
I dont but I've taken all different kinds of psych meds AND have some chemistry, pharmacology knowledge to give you advice on it. Yes, I'm currently withdrawing from opiates AND feel just as shitty as you feel but i Know well eventually get back to normal.
 
Those depot injections are meant to last a while in your body. Youll eventually get back to normal dont get scared. Everyone Is different, it depends a Lot on your own chemistry AND a Lot of other factors. For example I'm a fast metabolizer of drugs, i remember when i Would take ecstasy at parties i could feel it coming up 30-40mins before my gf at the Time. Youre gonna heal, one day at a Time.
I always wanted to know how it felt to be on ecstasy. Well now I know I will never ever try street drugs again. I just want my life back and my body. I swear to god I will be really good to the world. I promise to care deeply for my loved ones again.
Whoever makes it are true warriors that’s for sure. I’m laying in bed reading post. Really wish I had my life back by now. I really wish I had my sex drive back to. I miss making love.
Maybe my boyfriend will wait on me maybe not. Honestly he should find someone good to take care of him. I’m just talking off subject but I just want to feel love for my children again. I look like their mom but I’m not her. She’s gone which is really sad.
I guess no one know Katrinaor Stephanie either
 
I got a lump of fat underneath my chin. Is that being caused me invega? I never had it before. Does this go away? Is it my thyroid underneath my chin?
If it goes away then I know Invega is leaving my body I hope, but I’m had it after I gained weight from invega
Can somebody tell me what it is?
 
I know I’m posting a lot but I can’t help
It. Does anyone know how many mg of Invega is released everyday? Is it 2mg or 4 mg each day? If it’s 4 mg each day by month 6 it should be all gone. Then the receptors have to unbind and work again which I heard was 2 to 4 weeks. I hope this is true then month 7 we will feel back to normal or month 8. That’s along time. I have 5 months to go. The medicine is being released everyday but how much of it everyday is the question.
can someone help me on the mg of medicine being released everyday please?
I wish I could stop posting but I need answers I want to give my family a timeframe. I told them a year since the company said 125 to 300 days. I hope it’s before then. If I have any improvements I will post them for encouragement. Now I have none 99 days off. I’m still bed ridden . My kids are being raised by their grandparents because I’m too sick to take care of them. Now I will try to wash. I have to see my kids everyday so they don’t forget me. It hurts knowing I’m disable for a long time. I can’t even watch a movie. I swear I wish I didn’t find out invega was my problem then I would just be waiting for life to change.
I’m screwed now. Where’s the recovery stories. I need one.
 
I called the drug hotline and the nurse told me 126 days. Sounds like BS. I wonder if the makers of invega sustenna know the drug lasts longer because of the nano particles in the injection.
I have been hearing mixed results. I have heard from someone that its been a year with no real recovery for them and i have also heard from someone that said there son got better in 1 year and was able to drink and
smoke again. Its been 60 days for me. Very Minimal improvements. Akathesia is gone, sleep is a little better. For the first month I would wake up every night thinking I was Dying it was truly awful.
I belive at 6-12 months is when the initial starting recovery begins. 12-24 months is the actual time when we start healing in bulk and by 3 years after the injection I believe we should be back to 99% if not 100% healed.
I believe with time and time alone this poison will SLOWLY leak out of our muscle tissue effecting us less and less everyday after the 6 month time frame then on to 3 years for full recovery. With Any luck i am right. I can handle waiting 3 years for recovery as long as it is a full recovery and i can live life normally once more, that, and that alone is my greatest goal in life, to one day be normal again.
If anyone has expierenced any full recovery before 2-3 years let me know.

There are a lot of recovery stories on the threads you just have to read them again. Your time will come too..I know is hard to live like this believe me I’m in this shit too but you decide if you want to complain all the time about this or you want to be strong and distract yourself as best as you can ( I used to complain to my mother too in the past when I was on the shots, but now no more..it is what it is and it will go away soon).

3 years ? Oh boy I don’t want to hear that timeframe. For me, even if I had 3 shots, 6-7-8 months is maximum. Maybe at 6 months I will feel more improvements but at ~8 months recovery is waiting for me, I know it

So did you ask how much is released each day? That should help us figure out when the poison has finished at least. I’m hoping 4 mg is released each day so I can have a 6 to 8 month recovery.

Yes I do complain a lot and I just don’t know how to be strong to beat this everyday. I mean nothing feels good not even a shower. Which I need to take one so I can go see my kids. I have to live for my kids and it’s hard not being a mother. I miss it, but I guess when I recover I will forget blue light to like everyone did in the past. They just move on. Now we’re stuck here in the forums like they were. It sucks.
 
whats interesting i do you think the number of shots you have really makes a difference?
does 1 shot vs 12 shots really matter? its like once the poison is in you your screwed
maybe the more shots you get the longer is takes?
i dont now Rosi71 had 2 shots and we dont know if she recovered fully.
i reciveed 1 shot.I expect to be feeling OK by 1 year. fingers crossed
i think the reason why people dont return to the forums has to do with
they recovered and know everyone will expierence the magic like they did again
so they dont report it because its too magical for words or they are just too
grossed out form what happened to ever return to the forum
 
im so pissed i didnt reject the shot. they offered me the shot and I took it not knowing what it is. my roomate guy in the pych ward said that it would make it easier for me to "discharge" looking back I should have just denied the shot and waited. I dont know if they would have kept me longer or forced me to or got a court order against me it just sucks. I had 0 idea what i was getting into and I assume that A lot of people ignorantly took the shot not knowing how extremely disabling this is.
I just am ready to be feeling better and am looking for hope. hope that we indeed beat this evil poison! I wonder if it it now stardard routine for all pychartirc hospitals to now adminster Invega Sustenna to all patients before discharging them. I want my dopamine back. I want my life back. I am prepared to wait. I just dont understand why the hospital couldnt have given me zanax or a anti-anxiety? ill tell you why. could it be possible they know?? do they know this drug is hell on earth and dont care?
is it all about the money? who knows.

Paula, I have you in my thoughts. You still are a great mother, believe me! It was hard for me to take shower at first too I didn’t enjoyed it..but know I got used to that feeling and in another few months I’m sure that I will enjoy showering again. Don’t give up! Have hope, this will pass too! Everything is temporary, remember that.
 
looking to hear from more people taking st johns wort to speed up invega illimination. Im stuck and tempted to buy some but dont know if I should
It has done nothing for me. I take it everyday and nothing happens
I mean I can’t take this mess anymore. I even smoke cigs and can’t feel the effects.
 
Yes, I did. All of them..I can feel the caffeine,get drunk and high..my receptors are working
If your receptors are working then do you have emotions? I can’t feel anything. I’m so worried it makes me sick
 
I had 2 shots a little over 11 months ago and still suffering from this hell. I really hope there is an end to this soon because I WILL not continue living like this. I hear people say they’ve recovered but I just don’t see how it seems impossible
Omg you’re 11 months off with no improvements. Now this is why I can’t believe in recovery. I just don’t believe it happens. I can’t live like this either. I want love for my children back. I miss loving them.
Katrina where are you ugh
How did you make it with kids
 
I have been taking the injections since October 2018. Somewhat recently, I've been transferred to Invega Trinza, took 2 or 3 injections of it so far. I have asked my psychiatrist to take me off the medication and give me an oral medication instead, as I have increased prolactin levels which has caused me to lactate, I have anhedonia and virtually no sex drive. I have also gained quite a bit of weight because of it and I feel much stupider. He wanted to put me on Abilify in addition to the Invega. I refused.

I believe I have been misdiagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. I just had a drug induced psychosis due to the consumption of LSD. I believe I do not need the injection as I don't plan on taking anymore drugs in the future.

My question is this: how did you all quit Invega? Was your psychiatrist okay with taking you off of it? Do I need to switch psychiatrists? I was planning on not showing up to my next injection, but then I fear of a court ordered injection and police showing up at my house.

Thanks
Shit dude invega trinza would fuck you over for a looong time.
 
I wish there was a way to speed up recovery. Enduring this medication is hell... I'm really struggling through the days, there just seems to be no end to this torture.
 
Hey guys. Thank God I haven’t relapsed yet but I’ve been making some pretty dumb decisions with the drugs I’ve been trying again. No more for me. Pray that I don’t go manic again, I mean I’m fine in the moment. If I do have another episode I’ll ask for Invega PILLS not the fucking shot, screw that.
 
I was preaching in the neighborhood one day and it led me to yelling in the street about God and the cops kept ticketing me. What about my 1st ammendment freedom of speech? They kept ticketing me and it escalated into someone saying I jumped in front of traffic so they could commit me. It was a setup because they couldn't legally do anything to me because I wasn't violating any laws. I desperately want to get better but dont know how.
Lifeline said two years?
My confidence to go outside is destroyed do to police and community members lying about me and am scared to death to get CTO.
I feel like we are Guinea pigs for "antiphycotic" "medication"
