Yes my hair is brittle. I mean my hair falls out to. Life on invega sucks. I mean taking our emotions is one thing but invega takes your entire body. I mean everything sucks. It turns you to a person you don’t even know, so I’m just in misery. Everyday
 
Let’s try not to be negative. Let’s try to focus on the positive and spread hope around here so new people that are coming and reading to get some relief from our posts and also one day we will re-read our posts around here and be glad that we fought Invega in the face and we end it with hope and inner power!

I agree, this drug can take away many things but we can still choose to stay positive in the face of adversity. This whole experience is something we can all undoubtedly learn from, but we have to go through it first to understand what we are to gain. I'm sure we'll all look back and be glad that we're so much better off without this drug in our lives, but in the meantime, we have to face the reality that our job is to dedicate our lives to mitigating the effect this drug has on our selves. I still concede that there isnt much greater torture than invega but surely that makes us stronger to endure it.
 
the shrink says I’m bipolar 1 and the way I feel is because I’m depressed now? Are any of you taking additional meds? First they had me on lithium then lamictal... didn’t see much of an improved In my mood and they way I was feeling. I’m only taking 25mg of lamictal right now don’t plan on being on it for much longer..
 
Preinvega I was a morning person, I would usually wake up with a good feeling and excited for the day. This was especially when I wake up a couple hours before usual and daydream a bit before falling back asleep.

A couple days ago I had a good dream where I thought "I love life" and woke up with that pleasant feeling that I used to have so much. This is the first instance that I've felt good since the injection. The rest of the day was better than usual, was upbeat at times and even got mini goosebumps when I came across a video that showed the Las Vegas skyline (I've always loved images of cities at night) I don't know about the rest of you but since invega I can't feel good even in dreams. It was nice while it lasted, but I'm back to numb.

Is this what some call a window?
 
Yes but what is it exactly that makes invega torture.
Its so hard to describe exactly what the feeling and effect of the drug is.
Can someone explain in words what the effect is? It's really odd.

I keep having these ups ever so often then it back to reality myself... does it ever cross your mind that this could be part of a mood disorder? Or do you believe it’s the dirty poison?

Pretty sure it's the posion, before the injections this didn't happen.

Previous post says a window is were you feel completely yourself poison free. Trust me if you had a window you would be extremely excited about it. I’m only having waves no windows yet. If I have one I hope it says that way. Some people don’t even have windows, so I’m not trusting having one. I just keep thinking if this is permanent. I’m so scared because if I knew we could recover within a year I’m fine with that but I’m losing hope. I gave my family a year which will be December. I’m scared I might not change by then because work genius is 11 months with no improvements. I’m so scared

It’s not a window that you had. When you have a window you will feel preinvega and you will think you have recovered until it stops the next day. Sorry to be a downer but I hope you have many windows and no hope I have plenty to.

Paula it’s gotta be good that we are experiencing some ups occasionally tho... my last shot was in October followed by 1 month of vrylar... so I’m about 4.5 months off AP’s completely. I cried today not sure if that’s also a positive thing....
 
I had a drug induced psychotic episode. The problems started after taking antipsychotic pills for 3-4 months and then I decided to take 3 shots of Invega ( the worst decision ever)

Oh wow sounds crazy did the shrink lie to you and say the shot would make you feel better than the pills or something?? so are you med free now?
 
Yeah that’s exactly what he did. I couldn’t handle the pills anymore and he told me that the shots have less side effects and you feel better than on the pills..I have some kind of regret that I didn’t searched more informations about this shots and how long last to get out of the body but at the same time I don’t want to live my life with regrets so I’m trying to put my thoughts in order

What a shame.... hopefully you’ll recover and it will all be in the past
 
One of the worst side effects has been the fact that once you're in the middle of the effects of the poison, it makes you really self centered since all you can think about is the fucked up state you're in. At least that happened to me. Now I've had some moments when I notice that I'm actually thinking other people too, so maybe that's a sign that I'm getting better. I've been off now for about 4 months and a week. We should collect an adress and then as a group sue Johnson & Johnson. These past 4 months have been just ..something unreal. I mean how in the fuck can you call this stuff a medicine? Pure poison that puts you in a horrible inhumane state. I would encourage you all to journal how you're feeling. I think it has helped me. And once this fucking thing is out of my system it'll be interesting to have sort of memory of how it feels like to be in hell.
