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

[invegetable]

Alot less anger, a little more energy, and notice seminal fluid coming back in penis.The vitamin regimens really helped the most.You have,to have, to have to you detox your brain and get your HPA/ HPTG axis regulated.

OK I'll try to get some vitamins supplements. I did not know that it causes HPA dysregulation. Can you explain how that happens and what symptoms improved when you sorted that out? I'm guessing that's what you took NAC for?

my prolactin is a little elevated it was 25 like 6 months ago but some ppl on invega are in the 1000 so im not too worried about prolactin


it was around 25-27 like 6 months ago so not high but tiny bit elevated

That can still be cause for concern. Men never have prolactin that high unless something is wrong. Mine is back to baseline. Maybe get your pituitary checked?

To my younger self-

I’m sorry I failed you. You believed in me and I betrayed you. I let these monsters inject me with a drug against your better judgement. I knew better. I always knew these drugs were evil but I let my desperation for an easy answer win. I let them win. You deserved so much better.

I felt like that too. I burned two years of my life away, the last of my 20s. I have a job now and I'm making art skillfully again.

Good news I’m no longer on the injections;

But bad news, I wake up in middle of night cause my nose is blocked

Stops me mid way when I’m dreaming…

I need something to help unblock my nose for good this feels to permanent

That's great, That's the first step of recovery. Also please where you able to ask the doctor if dopamine agonists undo the effects of dopamine antagonists? I really need this information.

 

[flystr8]

No but i was on injections of abilify for about 18 months.

Wow, glad your off that I still feel the trauma from mines.
I need to be able to play football again I want to be able to breathe naturally

 

[Matthew01]

Yes. Believe it or not Im both a Rutgers(BS) and Harvard (MS) graduate. I totally think out the box. What happens is There are several pathways.I don't remember the names but they in like a circle pattern and regulate the dopamine serotonin and endocrine system connection. When the drug Gets through these pathways. It goes to its target which is the dopamine and serotonin. Because these pathways and the enterprise system are systematically similar composites to the dopamine amd serotonin they get affected equally. When the drug exits the brain some of it sits into those glands. That's
Why you have to sweat and detox your body at the same time while you're taking vitamins. When the vitamins are attacking the damaged areas and doing their job they.
Release all the toxins out and you need to sweat it out.

I totally agree. I argued with my doctor about that. Mine was at 21. As soon as I took the cabergoline , my testosterone went from 283 to 448 in less than a week.Im actually going for an MRI with and without contrast, this week, just to see how my brain is healing from last year, and to check for abnormalities, like prolactinomas.

You posted a list of a bunch of supplements earlier. Do you think you have a top 3 to address anhedonia?

Hello guys it feels like I’m stuck and never going to recover

But my nose is just so blocked how can I fix it

Will it ever go back to normal?

 

[cmf77]

Well Anhedonia comes from the dopamine receptors being blocked and as a result you develop serotonin syndrome.The NAC, Vitamin B Complex, Bacopa are excellent for that.But I really would follow that whole Vitamin regime as it attacks all facets of the endocrine system.There is a drug called El Dopa and in small amounts can help out huge with dopamine.

I’m so sad… 4 injections. People talk about even 1 injection fucking them up for years and never feeling better.

I am so heartbroken.

Well, my back pain meds (Flexeril 5 mg) made me tired today at work, but it was still a productive day.

I hate the pain that comes from this drug. The weight gain and the associated pain and stiffness is horrible.

Little did I know Xeplion is a hell of a bitch of a drug

 

[flystr8]

Lost a molar tooth thinking it was causing my blocked nose and other symptoms

So now I can’t eat the same

Does Abilify dull your ability of empathy?
