Yeah it told me the same, then it became 8-10 months. Then it became 10-12 months. Then it became 12-14 months. Now is telling me that it take 14-24 months.

Then in order to understeand if ChatGPT know the truth i told him I’m 24 months since my last injection and told me it take 36 months.

Then i told him i was 36 months since my last injections and it told me it take 5 years

Then I uninstalled ChatGPT.

Wait what about your doctor's appointment? What about the drugs and the checkup he said? You should try to look for help. Suicide is not the right option.
 
Also risperdalconsta try getting the stimulant ritalin. They increase dopamine and you haven't tried them yet.

Now that my CTO is over I am not legally bound to take any medication.

I am currently waiting for a court date for violence while in hospital/psychosis as they are pressing charges.

The consequence of not taking medication further is my psychiatrist won’t be able to help me stay out of prison/psychiatric hospital if I get sentenced. He said he would get me on a court order instead so I can stay in the community.

As you said they will put me on meds if I get locked up anyway so maybe my best course of action is to continue with medication so atleast I can stay home and control my diet and sleep well which is important for recovery.

You can advocate about the dangers of antipsychotics in court. Ask to switch to pills and then dispose of them like someone earlier said. They aren’t likely to do a test to measure how much Abilify is in your system. Even if they do you’ll have residue of the injections still in you, how far away is the court date from now?

Best action right now is switch to pills, never take them and show up to court with a seemingly cooperative attitude. But if you continue to take the pills after your CTO ended they’ll look at you as someone who needs to be medicated. But considering this isn’t your first rodeo with antipsychotics injections in your medical history, it’s likely they’d think you need to be on antipsychotic medication anyways.
 
Likewise with the losses in regards with the cognitive aspects. I’m an avid reader and can’t focus and comprehend what I’m reading anymore. It has made me sad- (as much as I can feel it) I’m still going to force read and try and see if I regain my abilities. I’ve reacted terribly to the drug and afraid I won’t ever regain my abilities. Time will tell, I’m only early in the recovery. I sincerely hope a positive tide comes soon.

Yes, I take olanzapine at night time. Invega fucked up my sleep. I still wake up a few times a night but I wouldn’t get any sleep without it. I don’t notice any negative effects from it either. My only issue is this invega.

I got invega pills, from invega (Xeplion) injection.
I don’t have a issue other than I got a blocked nose in all fairness

And I did feel akathisia from side effects.

I nearly slept yesterday but I took a small dose so I couldn’t sleep 100% but I nearly dosed into full rem sleep but it felt scary it felt like if I dosed off I wouldn’t wake back up cause I’ve been so long

Anyway I’m taking my invega paliperdone tablet again 6mg at 4:40am now so i can sleep whenever I want to
 


I love this song, it means so much to me, even more now.



A cover if you don't like acoustic lofi.

Hey @InvegaAnon- how long did it take you to start being able to appreciate music again after your invega injections. Music to me just doesn’t feel the same anymore. I’m one month and 6 days since my last injection. I’m eager for some healing to come my way.

Go see a holistic doctor, and get on @cmf77

Supplement regiment. The truth is nobody is prepared to help us, except ourselves. Just the other day you said it’d be 3 years before you’d give up for your cat. Today you’re talking about immediately finding a way to check into assisted suicide.

Cmf77 is the only person I’ve seen be stuck in a severely bad situation for months on end, and get out of it using supplements. Your situation is especially bad, since Consta leaves the body in 6 days. You should’ve been good within 3 months my man. Unlike Invega which stays in the body for an average of 40 days. Which takes about 7-8 months to fully leave the body, leaving some more months of recuperation

Yesterday i spoke with a psychiatrist from the University hospital of my country and he told me he never seen or heared about something like that in his entire carreer and there is something strange happened like my receptors changed expression or something like that.

He told me that after 2 months i had to return back to my baseline and he have to discuss my case with the whole university team to understeand what is happened to me.

While he was trying to figure out what the hell is goin on on my brain i told him “yeah this is more likely a medicine nobel prize” and he starter laugh and sayd “yeah i think so”

hey @raw banana in comparison to being on the injections have you recovered at all anyway? Or are you the same.

It’s hard to say. Some things are better but some things are worse. I feel like I’ve lost deep parts of myself that haven’t come back. My cognitive abilities are what’s suffered the most. Creativity, critical thinking, primal desires, not just sexual but the thirst for knowledge and learning. It’s gone. Sense of humor is gone.

I feel like I’m just unlucky cause some people seem to recover just fine apparently

If I can recall you mentioned you somewhat enjoyed a hike you went on?

Maybe combining this with gym and supplements may help. I’m not giving advice, just a thought. What’s hard is not knowing anybody who has been injected with invega. Having a community of people gathering together who are suffering going out for walks or something could help healing. I’ve had six injections- I’m unsure if I will heal but I do know my suffering is reduced as I’m at the gym now for the first time in six months. Also going outside in nature for walks helps me somewhat although small. My cognition is gone completely and I feel like I have to learn to read all over again. This is tough.
