Hopefully just taking a break. But does seem odd they were on here pretty much every day
Bro collect money and dissapear to other country for 2 months say for work or something and when they think you left forever comeback and they should leave you alone. Better then another 6 months IMO
 
I saw one guy on CTO hiding in motel and they took him of because of that. Try anything!!! Its Ur body. And then sue. Get lot of money for it
 
Finished invega documentary V3 total is 42-12

42 good outcomes of recovery
12 non recovery stories.

Going to look into supplementation next, it seems fairly straight forward what you should take, although some like Lion's mane have risks reported along with it

Thanks for taking the time to do this. That is actually a good amount of people who don't recover :(
 
My parents would tell the mental health team
If you above 18 fuk this shit collect money and fly on vacation while telling them you not coming back for a 2 years at least. Say its for work in other country. They will leave u alone trust me. Just get the money somehow. Better for you then another 6 months. I saw one guy Icecat threateaning suicide and they took him off. But IT might be risky, better is to go to other country for some time.

@TonyTonyChopper we need some Alpha advice here. I legit think it may work. He is not a criminal he can leave anytime and that's how you usually brake a CTO cause they cannot put u again if you comeback months later knowing you not on injections anymore and not psychotic

Yeah it's about a 75-80% chance of recovery, regardless of how many injections you've taken.[This does not mean the amount of injections you take is negligible, it just means ignoring the amount of injections a person has taken, they have a 75-80% chance of recovery as a bluelight user, if you participated in V1-V3, and quite possibly generally.] Taking supplements is seemingly extremely beneficial, a unproved observation I've seen is most people who don't recover don't take any supplements or do anything to help the brain.

People who are able to get high smoking weed, also are 16-0 when it comes to recovery.

its easier said than done bro . Someone can't just get up and start a new life somewhere else in the west u need few thousand dollars or rent , u need a job , u need to say goodbye to loved ones all for what? so you can escape few injections? . The trade off is too big bro. Sure in poland you can move to cheap rent but here in the west its like $2k . Best bet invegatorture has is to wait it out. There is low chance it gets renwed for a long time unless he has schizophrenia diagnosis but if it gets renwed again then id consider moving and start saving now just in case
 
I recommend smoking weed, it's now 18-0 chance of recovery if you smoke weed and are able to get high. This is the greatest indicator that is accessible that I have found. I'm unsure if it's the weed activating the protein that pushes invega out(St John Worts & Weed do the same thing to invega), or if getting high from SMOKING(KEY EMPHASIS ON SMOKING) is the indication. Nevertheless, it seems smoking weed has a positive correlation with recovery, I need to find more examples as I've only found 18 examples, and of the 18 all those being positive examples. Once I find 30-40 then we'll have a normalized distribution and thus more concrete evidence that smoking weed does benefit you in being able to recover.

TAKE SUPPLEMENTS, more to come on that soon.

Exactly cause weed is holy medicine as long its not too much in THC which can cause psychosis. Low dose THC strain high cbd are incredibly healing mentally and physically
 
I appreciate what this place is but we gotta start doing better as a community.

Our lives are literally on the line for months on end, and most a large portion of us do is just complain and hope for the best. There’s people who know what they’re doing and have the information to help us recover/combat the drug that’s injected into us.

We have to spend more time exhibiting behavior that’s going to be useful for us in the future/present and continue to speak to each other. As much as it sucks, the only people who can truly help you when it comes to Invega is other people who are on Invega. The people who have been on Invega, do not want to be reminded of it ever again and leave, and doctors are the reason we got injected with this medicine in the first place and additionally supposedly always report invega wears off within a month. They’re also extremely miseducated about the dangers of this medicine as well.

This boils down to proper nutrients(which is why supplementation is so important), exercise, and peeing the invega out of our system over months time. Personally I’m not going to leave this community of people until I’m recovered as well, and I currently am building up foundations of historical record(purpose of Invega documentary) to help those who come after us. We weren’t the first people who were injected with Invega, and we won’t be the last. But we are the current ones who have a duty whether it be carefully managed or ignored to manage our bodies and do whatever we can to bring them back to full normal functioning. It’s beyond possible 77~-80% chance to recover(per blue light V1-V3) regardless of the amount of injections. This in addition to smoking weed to recovery having a high correlation, and people who take supplements generally turning out better than people who did not. I have yet to see someone who took supplements profusely not have some level of extreme improvement. I’ll need to contact someone later about that.
 
For those needing some hope or light in a dark tunnel right now, I will tell you, it gets better.

It has been almost a year since my last shot since September. Several months ago, I felt like half my brain was gone. I literally couldn’t feel enjoyment. I didn’t have any optimism, I could hardly hold a 5 minute conversation, I would wake up in the middle of the night every single day, I thought it was permanent, I thought my life was over. It was a feeling I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. Like my brain was floating in a jar full of liquid. No one could relate to me.

I received 6 shots total. (Could be 7 if including the starting dose). For months, I felt like this. There were days that were absolutely terrible. Weeks upon weeks I wouldn’t want to leave my bed. It’s a slow process, but believe me it starts to fade away. The depression you’re feeling right now is normal and it won’t be around much longer. Even though it feels like eternity right now, it isn’t.

Today, I can say I feel around 90% better than what I was over this past year. And it’s not just one day here or there, it’s consistent. I enjoy video games again. I can play them for hours and feel enjoyment. I’ve been listening to music more. Not as much as I used to, but I can feel pleasure from a good song. I can feel a good nicotine buzz now, when before I couldn’t. Just recently, I started to change my diet to lose weight. I gained around 30 pounds from binge eating sweets and cheese to feel some sort of dopamine. I will begin exercising very soon.

What I’m basically trying to say is, that in this moment, the way you’re feeling right now is going to suck ALOT. You’re going to feel like this for a bit. But, if you’re patient and KIND to yourself during this time, I promise things will get better. I know it’s hard to do that right now, but just down the road, you’ll look back and it’ll be a distant memory.

I drowned myself with reading Invega stories, scrolling Reddit, looking for answers. I was obsessed with fixing it. Once you find out you can’t fix it right now but it’ll will fix itself eventually, it will help you. One day at a time. It’s going to happen. You might think it’s never going to happen, but I am telling you it will get better. I was exactly where you are not too long ago.

So stay strong. If you’re depressed right now, IT IS OKAY. If you’re confused, anxious, mad that this happened to you, think your life is over, IT IS OKAY. You’re here right now. You have life in you. Your brain is powerful and it will figure this out. Let this medication slowly leave your body and tell it to fuck off forever.

You are in recovery. You are not broken. Your life isn’t over.

Talk to people, those close to you about what you’re going through. Tell them your story. Tell them about the medication. I promise they’ll be supportive. And if you have no one in your life, then be supportive to yourself. Seek another to talk to. These days, weeks, months are dark. But I will tell you now, that this is only temporary.

Peace and love to all of you. I wish the fastest possible recovery for each and every one of you ❤️
 
Deep into night I get fearful I may be this way forever as well. But I know until I end up trying my all I won’t be forcefully imprisoned in this jail cell of a mind forever. I truly hope my issues come from this invega, and not the 5th concussion I have to myself. I find it extremely unlikely it was the concussion that did this to me, I’ve had 4 previous ones before it and none have done what I presume Invega Sustenna has done to me.

It is awful to be on an antipsychotic, and I’ve been on one for so long my body is starting to adjust. I begin to forget what it feels like not to be on antipsychotics. I closely approach a life forever like this, if nothing is done. I will recover, and I will continue to do all in my powers to help myself in recovery, including if it means helping others.

But I know what it feels like to be on one. I always must understand what has been done to me in order to appreciate what I’ll know once the antipsychotic is gone.

Did you use low THC cannabis for recovery?
 
I'm now 18 months or 550 days since my last invega injection and I feel a little better but its not what you think. For 17 months I felt brain dead from the 10 invega shots + 3 haldol shots I had . Anhedonia, black mind, loss of motivation , the whole 9 yards. Getting hospitlized for psychosis again early this year on my 1 year off date didn't help my recovery either. Anyway I started taking this new medication 1 month ago which is abilify or aripiprazole at 2 mg. Why did I take another antipsychotic even after I been so damaged by another antipsychotic? well I wanted to try something whatever it was. My psychiatrist told me verbatim " Giving you stims or MAOI is not appropriate in your case" so I didn't have much option. Anyway, abilify is much better than invega at low doses. I don't feel any negative side effects and it gives me energy and motivation. Sadly It's lacking in anhedonia but maybe i need to take it longer or maybe its not meant for anhedonia. either way I'm making good progress from abilify and go to the gym, eat clean, even planning on going back to school for masters in january if i secure funding. The most annoying symptom anhedonia still remains if that alone goes away ill consider myself 90% recovered 😩

No I do not. Marijuana actually put me in psychosis twice. I have been clean from it since the injection.

Everyone is different, but personally I would avoid THC all together. If you research THC psychosis, you will be surprised how it interferes with the regulation of dopamine in the brain. I didn’t know better until it was too late. Recently, famous comedian/actor Pete Davidson talked about how he stopped smoking weed because he got marijuana induced psychosis.

I am not sure about low THC. I was smoking very potent wax and bud, usually 30% THC or higher every single day until I wound up in a mental institution for a month.

You are totally right. That's why i said low dose THC cause weed is divine herb but they made it too psychoactive. Low THC strains high cbd are ultra helpful in healing the ptsd from it and the brain. Good weed is medicine. There is just to much shitty weed on streets and ppl end up psychotic.

I want to ask what is your level of recovery? How much have you recovered since then? What is your percentage
