Mental Health Coming off Invega Sustenna (Paliperidone) v3

[Sbar25]

I feel like I'm living in an alternate dimension
In this dimension everything is joyless and unhappy every view and picture in my life looks drab and gross.
Its seems impossible how a drug like this can completely change your life and the way you interpret the world. I was anti medicine to begin with before this shot was forced on me. I am scared to be stuck this way but have accepted that with every 6 months I should be feeling a little better.
Does the feeling, the intensity, the sharpness, the color, the enjoyment, does it fully return or do you learn to accept life with blown brain chemicals.

I don’t want to live anymore m. Something has to change now or I’m leaving

That's not good. Anhedonia should not be inducing depression so severe that it makes you suicidal. But, just know that invega is temporary. It's not you, it's the invega. You deserve a better course of treatment, should you want to seek treatment.

There are very very few cases of people who report feeling the invega even after a year. It's a near impossibility speaking strictly from anecdotal evidence. You do recover. I do enjoy everything.

Well, you guys have to remember that the profit really lies more on people coming back for repeat injections, there are legitimate, voluntary patients who come back for another injection because they feel their symptoms of psychosis are coming back. This means that invega does eventually wear out. The greed of big pharma also makes them fight against psych patient civil rights, their right to say no, and push it on prisons and hospitals, telling doctors with their money that invega will keep them out of the institutions. Interestingly, if it really kept the mentally ill out of prison, it would hurt big pharma's investment portfolio. (And before establishment liberals come at me with the Scandanavian model, I'm talking strictly about how it works in America for the poor, since institutions for the poor are radically different)

We are still on invega. We got the injections, so everyday we are still on invega. Ugh
Everybody calls me fat now. I use to be small. Why is this a nightmare everybody smiles and I hate it. I can’t smile I can’t do shit but look how happy everyone is which makes me sick. Lord if I ever recover I swear to never touch a street drug again. Never ever I mean it. I hate drugs I hate everything. I’m sorry I’m complaining please forgive me.
I need to vent in this forum. I only have you all here.
it’s amazing how we need each other and we don’t even know each other. God bless each of you here. I swear I feel you.invega took us just plain took us. I pray we all recover.
Idon’t want to see tomorrow. I’m tired. My sorrows our sorrows our lives taken by a drug. How? Why? We deserve to live.

Don't apologize for "complaining", you have to bring up an issue for people to know that it is an issue. As for people calling you fat, that sounds like a very toxic environment that you need to remove yourself from for the sake of your recovery.

There’s no treatment for our condition. If there was I would have done that by now. I’m strapped in a black whole that I can’t get out of. My kids don’t even make me happy. Nothing makes me happy. Nothing

 

[Sbar25]

Do you think they push invega injections and other drugs on inmates that are in prison?
I also agree it seems like it is all about the money.
I'm scared the police are targeting me and I'm worried I will end up back in the mental hospital if someone lies about me while in the community. Once you go to a mental hospital I feel like they are more likely to take you again based on precedence.

Awesome31311 you say you enjoy everything again right? Okay I believe you but do you enjoy it in a remarkable way now since you recovered? Do you feel on top of the world since you regained everything back? I mean we go threw this torture now but when we get it all back will we rejoice? Will we cry from being so relieved? I mean how will we feel? You say you enjoy things but at what level. Do you feel more powerful fir now than pre invega? Do you enjoy who you are now? Or would you rather be pre invega? Explain in details. I know I asked a lot of questions but I need to know if we truly are able to live again

Yes! I do enjoy who I am! When I listen to music, I enjoy every word. When I watch movies I can understand the subtle meanings behind them. I'm pretty much the same person, except I read a lot more now about constitutional rights and such. I do feel that I can enjoy life. I can cry, but I choose not to. I do feel powerful.

Yes, they even use them in Guantanamo Bay

The creators of the drug also lobbied prisons telling them the shot will keep people out of prison

But, that's a little off topic here and too political for a thread about self healing. You will get better. It's important not to focus on things that will put you in a negative spiral.

I know this is intimate but did you recover sensitivity in your genitals ? What about orgasm intensity?

Yes. Intensity is definitely there too

Hey if you're looking for recovery stories, here's my story when I was injected back in 2018 for a year:

Good video, so how long were you off of the shot so far? And no recurring episode? I’ve been off for about 7 months and I’ve recovered. Trying to stay away from weed and psychedelics; therefor staying away from possible relapse.

 

[Ammarishot]

Ive relapsed again since, and I've also received invega two more times after that episode. I took it for 11 months that time.

 

[Sbar25]

How is this possible?
Invega is like a terminal illness.
The only reason it has taken away my
Delusions is because I'm so overcome
With feeling like junk I can't feel or think about anything else. I just want to feel better
Desperately and am scared this is my new life. I can wait, and wait and wait. I just
Need to know that it eventually ends and my
Old self and how I used to feel returns.

Jeez dude that’s scary? How did you relapse? I was in psychosis for 2 years before receiving proper medication. I remember some months I was completely normal and some months I would just go insane. I’m hoping that evidence states that it was drug induced psychosis and not a lifelong schizophrenia. Since then I’ve been fine 7 months off of the shot. I would take a less hardcore medication if my symptoms returned. I honestly don’t think they will in the same fashion at least. I no longer believe in God, angels, energy, meditation, all that bullshit. I notice you’re from Saudi Arabia right? Man get a girlfriend. My gf is Pakistani and she’s so fucking fine I love desi women. She helped me through Invega and psychosis and now that I’m normal again I am able to love her and sexually please her. Life it good as long as I don’t relapse.

Invega sustenna feels like game over.
I need help. When will I have my life back.
I'm struggling, why dont you believe in God?
What is life than? Noone knows what's really going on in life that's why I believe in God I'm not willing to risk it.
I dont even know how people have gotten through this nightmare it is unreal.
At 1 year do you feel better I'm at 2 months and am giving up.

I personally feel like a belief in God could potentiate a relapse. I would rather not even risk that. Hopefully you’ll feel better around 6 months. I felt like utter shit up until 6.3 months about. Wanted suicide very bad. Now I’m doing very well mentally.

[Sbar25]

When should you notice a remission of symptoms completely? 6 months you felt better at 2 years did you return to normal?

 

[Sbar25]

As long as my brain chemistry eventually recovers I can wait it out it just feels awful waiting and wondering if these effects of loss of pleasure and joy are permanent. I'm scared of feeling retarded forever.

 

[Sbar25]

I mean is the reason why thingsdont feel good is because of the blocked serotonin and dopamine receptors? Are we being starved of basic chemicals? It doesn't make sense the only way this drug helps prevent psychotic behavior is by screwing up your brain so bad you become OCD on being sick.
