Mental Health Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v. 10

[rawbanana]

I’m

Im going to get my third wet cupping tomorrow to the arm i’ve been injected in and to the head. So in the past 2 months i have got rid of about 400ml of old blood.
Going to see if this helps with the head pressure, sitting for 5 minutes on a normal chair and getting up i feel like im going to pass out. When before i could sit crouched for hours get up and feel fine with no dizziness.. I feel like an 80-90 yr old man in every way and meaning of it.

how long has it been since you got your last injection?

Jesus dude dont do that! I just read up on wet cupping that is fucked up shit. It wont get the invega out of your system any quicker, is dangerous as all fuck and has no medical benefit. This is total pseudoscience altogether. Only a charlatan would say this has any benefit

There is such a risk of infection with this shit. Honestly what helped me feel better after getting off invega and abilify was starting lifting weights. I have been lifting them now for about 2 years and im in the best shape of my life

honestly the depression and the fact that Invega is even in my system still makes it hard to motivate myself to do things like that. It’s like all I want to do is lay down or pace around the house.

 

[rawbanana]

The fact that there are people who enjoy their shots blows my mind. Schizophrenia is such a poorly understood phenomenon and there is such a range of symptoms that fall under that label and yet they prescribe an injection that lasts for months to years or maybe even forever for some people. Something that can’t be taken back. It’s pure evil. Pure complete evil. Psychiatrists who prescribe the injections without even trying the pill first deserve to have their licenses taken away.

How long are you off the injections? I didnt have the energy to lift weights until i was off about a year. Granted my recovery was slowed down considerably by latuda and the horrible akathisia i got from it.

All i did when i first got out of the psych ward was pace. I think it was partially due to the fact that that is the only thing to do in the psych ward.

I didnt enjoy it but invega was better then the psychosis and cotards syndrome i experienced. I went 3 months unmedicated in the psych ward all because my shrink hated me and she thought i belonged in prison. So i can see why someone would rather invega then psychosis. However there are far better options. Im on zyprexa now and get no side effects from it

It is done by educated people, i have done it before too. Maybe you should read a little more into it, its been practiced for decades… and yes there are scientific studies into it, many.

Yes you have mentioned many times before that lifting weights helped you, but i cannot do that. Before the injection i could bench 150, now i can barley handle 40kg. When i exercise i start to feel super bad, the head pressure gets to the point that my head feels like its going to explode anytime.

You always talk about being in the best shape you have ever been, but you dont mention too much the most important aspect of your mental health. Also you said you had 0 depression, where all the others mention deep deep depression and anhedonia with this poison.

Also i think you are the only one from these threads which has mentioned to be thankful for getting this poison injected into you..

I would give one of my eyeballs away to not get injected, i would give one hand away not to be injected, thats how bad it is for me… I have always had a good gut sense, and what i am feeling now is that most of the damage is permanent.

13 xeplion injections were supposed to have been injected into me in 13 months, i had them injected in me during 4 months.

I would love to believe that i will get back to my old self again or even a better version of me like you have claimed you became, but its a 0.001% feeling success in my case and many others.

I would love to spend years in prison instead of getting 1 injection of this poison.

I guess your psychosis was on a heavy level if you feel that way, im glad you are good now if you say so.

I will read more into zyprexa and see if it is an option for me. But i have always been a supporter of natural life high, and natural body heeling. I just dont see any psych chemistry as medicine… Your body should be able to handle all this bullshit by itself.

I feel the same way. Getting on this injection was the worst thing that could have ever happened to me.

How long have you been off the injection?

I didnt have depression from the shot (or atleast not what i would call depression) but i did have horrible anhedonia. When i got out of the psych ward the first thing i did was hit up my coke dealer as i wanted to feel actual pleasure again. Of course it was artificially created pleasure and all it made me do is want more coke.

The reason why i was grateful to have this godawful poison injected into me was because i had went 3 months totally unmedicated in the psych ward. I was coming off 150mg''s of morphine a day and 6mg's of clonazepam cold turkey and didnt get so much as a tylenol for it. The shrink in there really hated my guts. I kept fighting security guards and kept getting throw in solitary as a result. I was thrown in there about 6 times total which is more then anyone else i know. I fought them because as far as i was concerned i was being unlawfully detained. Also they wouldnt give me my meds so fuck them anyway

I had cotards syndrome in the psych ward and thought i was dead as a result. That is far worse then any antipsychotic imo. Fuck that shit right off. As far as i know only 1 other person on bl has had cotards so my situation is abit different. As bad as invega is its pretty good compared to that shit. I would rather cut my balls off and flush them down the toilet then have cotards again.

Granted there is no reason to prescribe invega as far better antipsychotics exist. Invega is just shit

I have been off it for 5 months now, but still the majority here feel no improvements after 1-2 years since their last injection.

I know people say give it time, like 1-2 or maybe 5 years, but people just dont stay here for so long, i think you might be one if the few that has. I assume majority has died from heart failure or some other way of death.

You do some heavy drugs from what i see, or use too do.. But there are people here, who only knew weed as a drug in their life, and have had no need in taking tylenol for their withdrawals and etc, just minor psychotic episodes which needed some love and understanding from their relatives.

We all have been mistreated in the psych ward, i had the shit beaten out of me by the police before being placed in the ward, and i wont get into how injustice the whole process was. I got dead muscle tissue marks on my legs from their rubber bats.

I have not went through cotard but can imagine how horrible it is from what you say. But those syndromes pass, psych episodes pass, you get better from them. I dont believe invega passes in time, it also is pseudo studied. There are statements from medical institutions that state invega being a reason of sudden deaths and many other fatal illnesses..

 

[chingjeong]

Hello everybody, I have a question. I rode that thc can disturb your dopamin system and cause psychotic episod but what about psychédélic (psylocibin)? I wrote that it couldnt cause psychotic episod and be good for creating new neuronal path. What do you think?

I started to feel improvement around the 3 or 4th months. Thats when my sex drive came back. The last thing to come back was my attention span that took about a year. I think the majority of people on here just get better and dont come back. Theres no reason to think they are dead.

I do still take morphine and benzos but am not addicted to them now. I havent been addicted since i went cold turkey in the psych ward. They should have given me meds in there for withdrawal that was just fucked. They hate addicts in there to

Fuck psych wards they are truely hell. How some people like those places i dont know. How bad would the place you left have to be before you liked the psych ward? Sorry to hear what happened to you that is fucked up. I wasent beaten up or anything but i was locked in solitary with no food or water or even a toilet ffs. The PTSD i have is due to the psych ward not invega

Psychedelics can sometimes cause psychosis. It's rare but not unheard of

nah dont , someone who is prone to psychosis will certainly get an even stronger psychosis from psychedelics like mushroom.

There is no "majority" that feels no improvement. There are longhaulers here because they are more likely to reach out. There are hundreds of people who stop using this medication when given the greenlight or after a misdiagnosis and they never come here because the reassurance from their doctor that they'll go back to normal is enough. I really wish I didn't find this place because there were toxic people who were certain they had permanent brain damage and they were more visible to the many people who recovered and left. That made me feel like I had to fix it and I made the mistake of taking an SSRI, but that delayed my recovery. Lots of people come here to bitch a few times and never give any updates, and they likely went on with their lives in months to a year. I went through absolute hell with PSSD on top of the invega injections and I'm doing much better even though I'm not completely normal yet.

I try and balance off the negative on here. While some people do suffer from long term side effects of antipsychotics such as pseudo Parkinson's and TD but that is the minority. If you dont get something like that chances are you will get better.

I sometimes get the feeling that shit has changed since i was in the psych ward and i guess that may be the PTSD. Like sometmes things feel off and not normal. Dont really know how to explain it. I just think that experience's like that change you

I honestly highly doubt I’ll ever go back to normal. This shit feels like it permanently altered my brain chemistry.
