Just wanna let every one know that u can beat this i was struggling for 7 months and thought my old life was over but it can and will get better ... stay strong
 
Thanks symbolicone. Im at momth 3 and really havent had any significant improvements... My dysfunction is still pretty bad in that i cant feel the sensation anymore... I still cant cry or experience joy.. Im still pretty screwed up.
 
Hey paranoid android, i just got done looking at old posts by narsh81 and was wondering if youve heard anything from him? Has he recovered you think? I also found an old post by him about a guy who recieved the same amount of invega as me. Took him 6 months to fuckin notice an improvement. Mother fuckin fucker this sucks dick.

is it common for anti psychotics to induce a feeling of lethargy, a lack of interest in anything and no motivation to do anything whatsoever?

i feel like im sleeping my life away, such a waste of life. everything feels like an impossible task and i dont really care about anything, have no interests or hobbies, no ambition or drive to create a life for myself.

What are you diagnosed with and what anti-psychotic are you on? Some anti-psychotics can increase the negative symptoms of Schizophrenia and increase the depression caused by Bipolar disorder. Older typical anti-psychotics such as Haldol, Clopixol, Thiothixene that act primarily on the D2 receptor tend to be the worst offenders in this regard. Risperidone can also increase depression and some negative symptoms because it's a very potent D2 antagonist that has no real anti-depressant properties. Anti-psychotics like Quetiapine and Olanzapine on the otherhand do have anti-depressant properties.
 
Redmanome I'm still her bro I'm suffering just as bad as you are brother. We got this man I know it's hard but keep fighting. One day your gonna be able to feel everything again. All the emotions. The one I miss the most is love. I enjoyed love. Best feeling in the world. But love can be a bad thing too. Hang In there bro we got this. Keep thinking positive everyday man
 
Nice to here from you nathan. You should check out my blog on survivingantidepressants.org. Its called withdrawing from invega sustenna. Anyway i havent seen any improvements yet either bro. Yea one day we will be able to feel them again. I too miss love... So much. Whyd they do this to us man? What did we do to them? Its so pathetic whats been done to us. Im reduced to a zombie-like slob now. But yea we gotta keep thinkin positive as hard as that is.
 
Well i think you probably have to make an account before you can reply. Its a pretty cool little site. So hows life been nathan? Lifes been the same for me. Wake up, constantly dwell on the situation all day. Sometimes i take showers and just sit down and think for like an hour... Thats a little relaxing. I still have like no feeling in my private parts and it pisses me off. Its just numb like a damn finger. Ive been feeling real sick lately. Not been sleepin or feelin good. I hope its the medicine gettin out. Also did you read where i got my test results back about the invega plasma levels? They were at 9.4 and i think theraputic levels are from 20-60.
 
Yeah i seen that I been reading. And I do the same man I dwell on it too. My sleeping hours are all messed up. It's getting tough man real tough
 
Yea ive been noticing my sleep has been getting weird too. I cant fall asleep like i used to but now just recently ive been getting lightheaded a lot for some reason. And i been getting these weird head rushes. I dont think my body can take much more of this man. My depression has been getting really bad lately too. Ive been constantly researching about it and i end up with nothing. And ive been feeling sick too. It might be my heart bro. I hope your doin better than me dude cause i dont know if i can take much more of this.

Hello Nathan Cissell and redmanone
I feel not good.
I can not sleep,
I still have the symptoms for 11 months. (Risperdal Consta)
please help me. I need your help. please let me not alone.
 
Apollo bro if i were you id go get a plasma level test for risperdal done to see how much is left in your system.
 
i got back from the hospital today. i am suffering so much from the invega withdrawals that i turned to the last chance i had at making it through this, the medical community can do nothing for me. i will literally have to do nothing and totally rely on everyone and anyone to do the things i usually do for myself and for others if there is a chance of me not having permanent side effects or worse. people have died from this medication. i have learned so much information and talked to so many people who have taken this drug and the medical community. it is final, even doctors nurses and psychologist are agreeing. there is too many people whose lives are being ruined from this. i don't ask this for myself, i ask because i have listened and heard what you all have said and experienced it for myself. tell everyone you know. write your message on every website and piece of paper you can. tell anyone and everyone. enough is enough. flood this world with the information and message that no one else will take this drug. we have had enough. do it for the next generation, do it for yourself, do it for all of us...most importantly, just do it. spread the word to everyone. we will be heard. we will be taken seriously. and this ends now.
 
Invegauser, i have read your other post and you said it took you like a year in a half to recover? When did you first start noticing improvements from quitting the injections?
 
6 weeks. but it took 3 more months for the change to take hold in me. i have talked to people who have recovered in a year and took it for 6-7 months. other are still healing and took it for 2-3 months. we are all different. my first two posts were to keep a fellow human being from going through an unnecessary ordeal while i was under the effects of invega. i apologize if i mislead anyone. i have collected the actual data on my invega usage. i took the pill form for 2 years 3 month at 6 mg twice a day at first. then the shot was for 9 months at 156 mg once a month after that. i have been healing for 2 years 1 month now. total of 5 years 1 month invega time.
