I get 30 zopiclone a month and ive always found with it that as long as you take breaks dependance isnt really a issue with it. I have not seen to many cases of actual zopiclone addiction now that i think of it.

Issue is it doesn’t give you deep restorative sleep like a normal sleep would. That’s what I want to achieve man, I wish we all could just sleep.

I sleep great on it. I get better sleep because i dont have nightmares. But everyone is different
 
How old is everyone? I’m 24. I’m lucky I have no big responsibilities like taking care of children in this state.

Gives me hope. I’m just a little over a month and it’s still pestering me. I just want to be able to relax. I haven’t been able to in 6 months. I do get alleviation when I go for long walks but when I lie down or sit down, I feel uneasy and restless as fuck. I think I’m just going to have to wait it out. I hope the akathisia isn’t permanent.

I have akathisia as well. Can never relax, spending hours of the day pacing.

29. I am a carer for someone in this state- proving difficult. But I can’t give up. The bloody injection blocks motivation , so I force myself to complete tasks around the house. I know for a fact as soon as this akathisia goes away, I will recover.

I also had serious akathisia from invega. Worse than what I have now with abilify. It healed totally and life felt like heaven.

Feel you man. Nothing good at all to say about it. I have it also a month after injections. I’m 32 days since my last shot. Never going to touch the shit again. I’ve been lurking on this website for a while but never made an account. I was wondering when you were coming off invega how long did the akathisia pester you before it alleviated

It’s hard to remember. I was put on invega a couple years ago. I did not see any significant improvement for the first 6 months.

Having anhedonia on top of akathisia/restlessness is brutal as fuck.

Yeah I’ve got anhedonia as well. The suffering of it is being masked at the akathisia. I’m only in early days of recovery so I hope it goes. I’m grateful I found this forum.

Six months of pacing, severe restlessness seems too much to bear for me. You’re obviously strong. I’ll just take it one day at a time and hope that things improve.

How many shots did you have? Was it invega? I can’t remember if you said.

Healing is defo possible. But takes a long time.

It was the weakest I had ever felt in my life. I thought I was a strong individual pre invega but nothing could prepare me for that suffering. I was soooo suicidal I bought SN and had it ready to do. Luckily an awakening on LSD saved my life at 6 months off. When I healed I noticed I was far more resilient and grateful for my life. This shit builds character if you make it out.

I would have thought I would be good in a few months. Oh boy I was wrong. Ah well fuck it. This is my hand and I gotta push forward. Will force the gym into routine in a few weeks. I hope akathisia will have eased a bit.

I thought the same when I got the shots, thinking it would pass after a month like the doctors told me. When I found bouelight it was a rude awakening seeing people saying it takes average of 1-1.5 years to recover. I was very lucky to heal in 9 months. My doses were relativley low. 150mg and 75mg.
 
I have a theory that hot baths (39-43 degrees celcius) will get the poison released from the injection site quicker due to heat and blood circulation. This could shorten the half life. And sweating in this situation is only a good thing.

This temperature is the max before it damages the skin. Stay in as long as you can. I have recovered twice from antipsychotics fully and I believe hot baths may have sped up the process.

Just a suggestion for everyone here. This is what I am doing currently.
