The edible has some long lasting effects but I’m not in psychosis. Feel like my life is more on auto-pilot; hoping this edible damage isn’t lasting.

I was too foolish to recognize edible damage could be a thing

How many hours has it been? Taking such a high dose will mean it stays active longer.
E.g if you boofed 500mg of methamphetamemes when you got up you'd struggle to sleep that night, but 25mg and it'd be out of your system enough to sleep by bedtime.
You'd have to be way cooler to do that though.
You're probably just a bit sedated from it.
No idea why you'd want to take high doses of cannabis edibles on invega, it'd just make the sedation unbearable.

I took it about 39 hours ago, 500 mg
 
I haven’t slept for a entire week literally 0 deep sleep
And blocked nose is what’s causing this
 
i feel like this been answered a few times around here , but most people prefer HIP INJECTION over arm injection because there are less side effects? is this correct?

thank you

The deltoid (shoulder) injection metabolizes faster than the gluteal injection…so injection in the arm will leave your system faster

I don’t think there’s a difference in side effects

are you sure?

I read it here at bluelight many times. people prefer to be injected at the hip as opposed to the arm.

anyway, i googled it and here is what i got.

While both hip and arm injections can have side effects, hip injections are not inherently preferred due to fewer side effects than arm injections. The best injection site depends on the specific medication, the patient's anatomy, and the condition being treated. Both sites have potential risks and benefits that need to be carefully considered.



Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Hip Injections:
    • Intra-articular hip injections (into the joint): are often used for osteoarthritis and can provide pain relief and reduce inflammation.
  • Risks: include bruising, swelling, skin irritation, allergic reactions, and infection. In rare cases, there is a risk of tissue damage or nerve injury during the injection.

  • Potential complications: like cortisone flare (pain in the injected joint) can occur, but are usually temporary.

  • Image guidance: is often used to ensure accurate needle placement and minimize risks.
  • The deltoid muscle: is smaller and closer to nerves and blood vessels, which can increase the risk of complications compared to other injection sites.

  • Other injection sites in the arm, such as the dorsogluteal site, are associated with higher risks of nerve damage, muscle fibrosis, and infection.
  • The patient's overall health, the specific medication, and the location of the pain: are all factors that influence the choice of injection site.

  • Intra-articular injections: in weight-bearing joints like the hip are generally considered safe and effective when performed with proper technique and under image guidance.

  • Injections in the hip or arm: should only be performed by a qualified healthcare professional who can assess the risks and benefits for each individual patient.

you should google specifically for Invega. It will tell you that the gluteal injections take longer

I am not on invega (thank god).
I was on it long time ago but not anymore!
I only ask because i am back on fluanxol which is nothing like invega. it's much better but still bad.
i used to frequent invega forums (bluelight forums) all the time and it is what i read from other users, they prefer hip injections over arm injections because of less side effects.

yeah, i should stop posting in the invega section because i am not on it anymore.
i can only share my experience and recovery process.

fyi: i recovered but not fully, i still gotta lose a lot of weight. gential is still small but that is due to me being on different med (i will be sober soon from these meds in a few months or so)

how long were you on Invega?
 
herbertadams said:
Also if GABAgernics still work would alcohol and GHB or it's prodrugs still work?

Chronic GHB use is known to upregulate D1 and D2 receptors. While I'm not a neuroscientist sure sounds promising for non psychotic or schizophrenic people who are trying to recover after Invega. Trackable quantities are miniscule and mandatory minimums are rough as here. Even a single high dose can be prosecuted as trafficking.

With limited neurotransmitters available fucking around with GHB receptors and mu-opiod receptors might be the way forward.

Shame to start injecting (h) over medical malpractice but what can you do.

Hey how many time where you injected with invega and when?

i was on it for maybe 2 years about 5 years ago? something like that.
my brain and private part shrunk so much. i went haywire a few times when i was off the meds. it's not easy.
i'm much better now but i am still on some bs meds (i should be off soon).

i was probably injected like 15 times? not too sure on the number, my man.

all i can say is things go back to normal but just don't be on other meds.

recovery is possible but the hardest part of recovery is probably the weight gain caused by invega. like i said before, i been on and off on different meds, so that counts towards me not losing any MORE weight than i want too.

That's good information but I was asking herbertadams
 
This is the most unnecessary nonsense I'm going through in my entire life. What is the point of this? I can barely think and remember things. Falsely diagnosed by very horrible doctors. I have things to do for god sake, so many plans that need to be done
 
I’ve had p progresss with this blocked nose it’s actually upsetting got a ent appointment tomorrow
