sup ppl. happy year 2k21 everybody..lol hard times fucking rona etc. I'm actually feeling little better and have started to feel the good "energy" again. but i was doing normal at a place where u can sleep if ur homeless and suddenly cops and nurses came and they took me to hospital as a "court sending" the cops asked that do i have any idea what is going on and why they had to take me there, i was in little panic, you know exactly why and told that no, "who would do this?".. Well i have to say that i was little faded, but not creeping things. So at the hospital my eyes we're BLEEDING and the doctor came and asked me questions, but after like 1 hour of waiting at the bed my destiny like "what it's going to be?", then suddenly nurse came and said that i am free to go. I actually going to quit all the connections to pshychiartians and/or...how to say it... "medical restinations." I am at capitol of finland and gonna travel the world and just say FUCK THIS SHIT, FUCK EM ALL. It's time to live my youth caz i still have left that. Sorry for bolding text, will be reading it when time or if i find internet. i checked some at page 14-16 and then skipped here. PEACE all!

Risperidone is akin to invega. Invega was built off of the compounds in risperidone, or something like that.

In all the research I've seen, and from the time I've spent here and elsewhere hearing from people trying to do so, there is no way to reactivate the receptors if the drug is still in your system. If there were, I feel that it would be common knowledge here. Every once in a while someone comes by who swears that a certain drug will stop the effects of invega, but if someone tries it they seem to report it doesn't have the miracle effect hoped for.

I have heard that risperidone does not stay in your system for as long as invega does

Sorry if this does not help.

I mean it's been 4+ years since I stopped taking the shots so I don't know how it could still be in my system.

Have you tried stimulants? Do they work at all?

Adderall has worked in the past, (post-risperidone) depending on how much I take I can experience a significant boost in memory and cognition, but only while the adderall is active. After the drug wears off I revert back to my slow and forgetful mental state. It doesn't seem appealing to me to have to rely on being geeked up on amphetamines all the time just to have a functioning brain, considering the obvious tolerance build up and harmful side effects of stims.
 
i am slowly recovering and that is a good thing but this overweight problem is a huge letdown. i have never weighed so much in my entire life thanks to this invega drug. i been handicapped and paralyzed. i feel like this their "concentration camp" in Canada when they put on you these type of meds.

Sorry, I do not understand. Do you feel adderall again like how it originally is after stopping the Invega? I ask because I can't feel it even after 6 months of stoppign Invega and I fear this will be permanent.

Here I am.
1 year off and life is meaningful again.
For all of you that are suffering or will suffer (I rlly hope you won’t) because of this kind of medicine I came back with this reply to make it easier for you. ( I also swore that I’ll help others if I’ll recover).
This is not permanent.
Your brain is just intoxicated and poisoned at the moment while this substance is still in you.
After my psychotic epsiode i switched from pills to shots( had 3) and during that time i had very often moments when I was walking on the street and suddenly all of my leg muscles were contracting like hell and i was acting like a visible real disabled person. So now, you tell me..who could encourage me during that time that recovery is possible or to not kill myself from minute to minute?
Zombie mode, anhedonia,depression, 0 motivation-concentration, nausea,feeling the same numbness indoor-outdoor..you name it.
So for like 10 minutes I’m thinking what would be the best advice which I could give to you ( from my experience) to keep fighting when you feel like you’re in hell.
Patience. This is crucial..try to master it with different techniques. Imagine that when you recover you will truly be a stronger person and you will appreciate life in a different way.
Recovery is definitely possible and you need to believe in it. These are my last words.
I pray for all of you

Thank you so much for coming back to update us. I know we all really appreciate that. I’m so happy to hear you have recovered. Keep fighting everyone, do not ever give up. Recovery is possible!
 
Ok team. Seems like none of us are lawyers. For now I’d make sure you go to a doctor and document your side effects. Perhaps a lawsuit will come down the tube? Gives us bored people something to do at least!

Thank you so much for coming back. I'm so scared I'm going to be stuck in this hell forever. I hope I can write my own recovery story soon.
 
I figure I'll make a little update. I'm coming up on 6 months since my last shot. Got my last shot at the end of July. Got the 2 loading doses. I've been smoking a lot of cigarettes. Feel like I'm still mostly on autopilot. Sometimes I remember how I used to feel which gives me hope that I can get to that point again. I went outside the last few days even though it's cold and almost got the feeling/thought of how it feels when the sky is cloudy. It's hard to explain, but there's a feeling of the world around you that I'm lacking. It's like a lack of judgement on anything. Anhedonia. Bored all day. Can't concentrate much on anything. Figured I'd post just incase anyone can relate. I'm stuck in a scary feeling where I feel like life is pointless and what's the point of existing. I'm not suicidal but this feeling is crushing me. I'm pretty sure I'd describe this crushing feeling as dread. I feel like I'm about to tell someone their son died all day every day. I feel like i just noticed that my car is breaking down on the highway. It's a terrible crushing feeling. But i think i notice some difference, i give my opinions on some stuff, rarest but it happens. Good luck everyone. Hope everyone a fast recovery. Omg i hope i get out of this hell/ constant torment
 
I do want to say that some people do find Invega useful. I think it remains as the only licensed antipsychotic FDA-indicated for schizoaffective disorder. That said, it wasn't useful for me.
 
What antipsychotica does is that it normalises your brain so you become "normal". It has nothing to do with having psychosis.
 
The problem is that Invega was only approved in 2006. So there is still much to learn. We do not know what is the full scope of Invega's effects because it is so new.
