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

By the way paranoid android, you reminded me tonight of that great song and I gave it a listen. It was the first time in months that I felt chills in my body and really enjoyed it. So thanks a lot. Hopefully, this is an early sign of recovery. I was on vyvanse though ahah.

I had 6 injections in total I believe. It's been 3 and a half months now off it and I think I'm slowly getting better. As someone indicated, I use weed as an indicator to see if my dopamine receptors have come back from the dead. So far, no luck. I had a pretty big tolerance before the injection however and I do smoke everyday since then so maybe a T break would help. However, I can precisely pinpoint the 1st injection to the time I stopped feeling weed. I am able to feel shrooms but lsd did nothing when I tried a month ago. I found vyvanse works really great but only for a couple of days until you have to stop for a while. On vyvanse, I almost feel like my old self, except I still can't get high on weed. I terribly miss my weed buzz. I fear that it would not come back but by God's grace and patience, I believe it will. Particularly after reading some testimonies here.

All those psychedelic drugs ain't good for whatever causes psychosis in the brain I'm pretty sure, and amphetamines might not help but who knows. I was on dex before I got the shot of Invega so that might have been why I needed it. I think I might try Concerta one day. The dextro was heavy shit. Wish I'd never done any of it or just stuck with an easier ADHD med throughout life. Booze probably didn't help either 🥃🧠💥

Do you think your old personality will come back?
 
What is see here mostly is people who have not recovered. I am looking for people who think they have fully recovered. Is it normal to recover fully?

Hello, you said vyvanse makes you feel like your old self? What's the name of the injection you got?

I feel it's already coming back. Particularly when on vyvanse. I feel focused, interested in stuff and energetic like I used to. For me it's like, if my brain can do it on a drug, then soon I'll be able to do it even sober. Anyway, that's the way I view it, maybe I'm wrong. In dreams, I totally still have my old personality and experience emotions just like I used to. I often dream about going back to school which is something that would surely keep me busy and entertained. I dont think I would have the motivation and mental sharpness to do it in the short term though.
 
I also took saint john worth. I didnt really notice any effect but maybe it helped speed up my recovery so far. I stopped taking it because I ran out but I will buy again just for the sake of it.

Yes. You'll fully recover. Just don't take the shit and lay off the drugs... some of which will land you back on the death drug (Invega.) That shit should be for people too fucked up to even do their own laundry. Same for all antipsychotic drugs. Should only be used for people with ACTUAL schizophrenia or in acute psychosis. Shouldn't be used for over a year (if even that) with some kind of mild psychosis.

I had 2 shots 150mg and 100mg. Last shot june 17. I am hoping to get my old self back. Looking for stories of hope and full recovery. I would love to know how many people get their old self back.

I’m curious if you have recovered at all? Not saying old self back, but just in general?

Zyprexa helps me and doesent give me any side effects so they arent all bad. Invega and abilify injections are terrible though

nah most recover . Ones that did not recover were either already on antipsychotics or antideprfessants, or had 7 years worth of injections which needs alot of time. Personally I had 13 injections + pills and my recovery will take few years but I am patient .

I dont feel much recovery. Sex drive came back somewhat, some old habits like talking to myself show up once in a while, energy is higher, feel less hungry. But no significant improvements. Someone told me that you dont feel any recovery until atleast 6 months. Found a girl who said she was miserable for 5 months and had recovery in month 6. She claims shes mostly herself now after 8 months, she had 3 shots. Have you seen any stories where person recovered their full self?

God I miss talking to myself. Forgot I even used to do it 😂
 
Seems like we're in the same boat. My last injection was in june. Except I had 6 in total. God is good and I believe he will, in time, fully cleanse my body which is his sacred temple, from this poison. I wish there was some sort of antipoison we could take. Or some way to destroy the depot. Some drug to reawaken our receptors.
 
What's the best alternative to invega ? Something to have at hand in case I would ever have excessive dopamine again. I tought in the future maintaining a very low dose just in case. Like 1mg pills of invega maybe. There must be a better alternative.
