It's brutal man. Ughh. It's like my brain won't give me any idea of anything I want to do. Feel like I can't think, so I don't like to drive, cause when I'm driving I'm constantly feeling like "there's no way i should be driving feeling this bad" like i have no awareness of the things around me. Ugh. I can hardly stand it.
I stabbed someone in my psychosis. There alright thankfully but have some compassion for people who are manipulated by there mind and end up hurting someone out of fear. I was a normal person for 20 years with a deep amount of compassion and empathy for people and when I did hurt someone I believed I was saving my family and myself. I’m not a psychopath I just had a severe psychosis. The doctors believe it was drug induced but if I have schizophrenia then I’ll deal with it.
it's been 6 months for me and i have seen no sign of weight loss. this really blows. i hate my body. sure, i have a bit more energy now then i did before but this weight issue causes back problems for me. i am not suppose to be this fat.
I’m sorry you had to and are still going through that. The mind and heart are deceitful beyond all things. Thankfully that person is okay and you’ve recognized that it was just your mind that manipulated you. That isn’t the true you. Look at this time as a time of getting back to who you really are and who you are to become. I know it’s difficult to do that while on antipsychotic medication. If you can’t seem to formulate who you want to be right now. Then the best thing you can do right now is just live in the moment. Try to focus on all the blessings in your life from the smallest to the biggest. Don’t focus on the negative aspects of it like your past. You’re moving on from the past now, that’s not who you are anymore.... and there’s nothing but the present moment in front of you. I’d recommend developing healthy routine if you have the will power to do so... maybe going for a walk every evening (or morning whatever works best for you). Listen to uplifting positive music and/or podcasts, this is what I do on my walks. Sometimes I go without any music or podcasts though to just clear my head. Getting out in nature is super healing bro, along with exercise. developing a nutritious well rounded diet will really help too. This is like a threefold cord to healing and developing who you are. Exercise, nutrition, spiritual and mental growth. Adjust those things to what works best for you and before you know it, things will start to feel more normal and not so depressing. Just speaking from experience. I wish you the best brother, message me anytime if you need any advice or encouragement, or just someone to talk to. I’m here for you.
Man you are so ungreatful and rude like.. I posted explicit around here my recovery process ( like that was encouraging enough imo). Has even crossed your mind the fact that the majority of people who recover from this want to leave it behind them? No? Thought so. How many old members who recovered do you see around here? Try to appreciate more rather than adopt that attitude.
Hey buddy,
Yes I’m depressed not because of Invega being in my system, but I’ lost my kids and husband because of invega. I get divorced this Tuesday, so yes I’m depressed. I have not one person in my life to encourage but only God, but I’m still human and I want a should see to cry on.
Stay strong. As long you don't live in a moldy household everything is possible!
i say you're better off without him if he can't stick around during your lowest. you'll feel much better with someone who is loyal. sorry about your kids though..
It is very difficult to calculate because you constantly getting injected while depleting half of it.
What about after 3 years of being on it at 117mg for most of it plus it looks like three loading doses..it was lowered to 78mg for 4 of those times and the last two injections I had were 78mg. Been off it now for 3 months..
Drug elimination calculator have you tried this? Of course because these drugs last for months first you have to determine how many hours that half life is then go from there
