Do any of you feel like you dont belong in your bodies while on invega?
I feel like i don't belong in my body, like i don't have a personality, have no opinion on anything, feel like i can't do nearly anything, scared of feeling this way for the rest of my life. I hope it wears off.
 
Yes. Every minute was like an hour that dragged by. Everything was pointless, and I cared for nothing, even the things that had used to mean the most to me. The clock seemed stuck a lot of the time. The longest days of my life were on invega. It took about 9 months to get some improvement on this feeling, and 14 for it to start to go away totally
Did the feeing when you woke up diseapered ? brain zap that almost paralyzed u?

I used to have multiple personalities. Now none.
 
All i want for Christmas is my dopamine, my dopamine, my dopamine. All I want for Christmas is my dopamine. And to feel like I exist. Merry Christmas everyone
 
Random question. I scream in my sleep and this never happened until I started taking antipsychotics. I was wondering if they're correlated because it feels like it delays the subconscience and dreaming is like a direct portal into your subconscience. It's weird because I feel out of breath sometimes when i sleep after I sing in my dreams. Most times I wake up and it feels like I just said something out loud. I dunno. If you scream in your sleep, let me know. I've been on APs for 10 years.
 
now i took the invega 3 months ago starter and booster and i feel like i have complicated heart and brain problems but this might be the drug confusing me. would 3 months off mean 3 months after the drug left your system? because the invega is still in me and all i can do is sleep.
 
Exactly you described it to a tee! like you have conversations with yourself in your head all day but can’t seem to form coherent conversations with others around you. Your mind draws to a blank. But you can feel your true self trapped inside.
yea i feel the same way is it causing you heart problems? feel like all i can do is lay like a vegetable and its hard to sleep

I had this before taking antipsychotics. I would wake up screaming. Could be because of low amount of dopamine.
 
I wrote this yesterday. Can you guys relate?
"When you try to think and nothing happens. It's like this..............
................................................ nothing. Nothing comes to mind. When you have nothing to say, no interests, you have nothing to do. When all you can talk about is how you can't think because that's all you know. Nothing can override the nothingness. Everything is gone
The warmth of a smile, warmth from a hug. The feeling of love or looking forward to something. The feeling of eye contact, of being entertained. The feeling of not caring. Free thoughts. "I want a coffee", "the sky looks nice" "that shower was nice" it's like falling down a hole with nothing to grab onto. It's seems to be the opposite of an experience because there's no stimulation except for dreading the nothingness. When everything feels the same, there's no point in doing anything."

Yes exactly. It has been like this in the initial months of recovery for me. Will this pass. Don't worry. Just play some video games and Tik Tok until it goes away. And don't forget the physical activity like walking. It will be good in the long run.
 
another thing is sugars good for speeding up and flushing invega out of your system? my metabolic rate is extrememly slow
Not really, it is the opposite i think. Sugar strains the eliminaten process of chemicals, due to high insulin. High insulin = fatty liver, kidney problems.
Eat carnivore diet.
 
Yup this sucks allright. Ive been doing some exercises lately. Like just using light dumbells and some arm workouts, biceps triceps shoulders that kind of thing. I want to lose weight as i got a high of 200 and im like rhis is getting rediculous.

Overall i can "do things" likd go to work, grocery store, walk the dog. But its all more of a chore as opposed to something i enjoy.
