I developed permanent alteration of my consciusness and permanent alteration of perception of the world around me, i don’t think you issue is permanent.

You have to reach the point you was before by training, if you don’t train for some months it is normal you are not more like before

It makes no sense that i have to train to get back to my old stamina,how did i lose it overnight? What mechanism in the body causes it?

I was a serious long distance runner and athlete before invega. Can no longer run. Run out of breath more quickly. Can anyone explain why invega stops your running and athletic ability? Is it the dopamine block or something else? Do you have any examples of people regaining their athletic ability afterwards upon recovery?

I know paranoid android says he became a better athlete after invega but what about people who were good athletes prior to invega?

So sorry this happened to you. I also get out of breath easily. It’s continued 9 months out of the injection.
 
Used to have interest and passion. It’s not fair.

I haven’t wanted to play video games or watch anime since this happened. I used to love doing that.

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.

Thankyou for your responses its much appreciated.

No idea when or if I am going to court. I had a police interview a couple months ago and still waiting for an update.

I didn’t think about needing to take medication while in prison and thats a hell I don’t want to experience. Based on my history that will most likely happen.

I have a bad history with staying compliant with medication, so me asking for pills the moment my CTO has ended will raise suspicions. I need to maintain trust with my phychiatrist for him to help me stay out of hospital/prison. So i’ll take my next injection at 300mg and wait for him to suggest pills for me which I have been told is on the cards.

I gotta count my blessings, i’m at home, i sleep well, have family around me, can control my diet and my dose is getting reduced. Prison with meds or going back to hospital is far worse than my current situation.

Stay safe. You may be overstating how deeply they’ll look into it. Even if you “raise suspicion” about you taking your medication, they won’t have much grounds of evidence to use it against you aside from your past history.

Taking more and more shots to a completely unknown date in the future is going to be mentally tough on you. You’re already attempting to begin your recovery process.

Will you have a public attorney or private? Ask your psychiatrist just about taking pills, and see what’s been medicinally documented. If they medically documented you have a bad history with taking pills, maybe that’s a cause of concern; But unless your family/someone close testified you weren’t taking your pills and they medically kept record of it. I don’t see how they can use that in court against you. Additionally, if you keep “taking” the pills( if they run a test on you just take one before it.)

In this situation you can feign compliance by opting for the pills. If you stay on the injections once the court hearing comes they’ll keep you on them since you’re on them right now. If you switch to the pills there’s a chance you stay on the pills as a sentencing instead of more injections.
