Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v 12

[Invegatorture]

I've heard from some people that after Invega their sensations and emotions—including restlessness—actually became more intense than before over time. That doesn't happen to everyone, but there may be an explanation for it. It's thought to be related to the brain's compensatory mechanisms after it has been suppressed for such a long time by a long-acting antipsychotic. From what I've read, this usually settles down with time

My sensitivity to dopamine was higher than it had been before I took antipsychotics, during the period when I had recovered. My emotions felt intense as well

Thank you for sharing this. It's really valuable to hear from someone who has actually experienced it firsthand. I was hoping someone would say this. I've read that it's similar to how in a dark room, the pupils dilate to capture more light. When you suddenly remove the 'blockade' (the medication), the freed and hypersensitive receptors can sometimes cause an intense, even excessive reaction. That's why some people may experience a temporary intensification of symptoms — and it's not a breakdown, but a readjustment. Did this intensity last long for you?

Anyone experiencing Psychosis here? Can you tell me what the psychosis is saying?

not psychosis but every month i have like this random week where i don't really sleep for like three or four days straight. then it goes away and all the "manic symptoms" just disappear. it's really strange

Felt dopamine yesterday after taking p5p, today brain fog again but it's getting much weaker. So far month 10 had the biggest improvement, i can feel the brain fog dissipating sometimes

[Invegatorment]

3 months into 3 shots (2 loading doses in February and 1 shot in early April)

I got hospitalized 3x in the last month because all I could do was pace the house and not sit still; this was absolutely awful and I thought it was going to be permanent.

I'm on 450mg of bupropion and 600mg of lithium (split into 2 doses daily) and this seems to have made the anhedonia go away. Either that or it just went away on its own, I'm not really sure. I definitely feel less depressed about the whole situation and I have motivation for daily tasks and goals. I'm finally able to use my phone again

I still have some of the more annoying symptoms like not being able to feel substances and the sexual dysfunction / genital numbness. Hoping those will get better in a few months, I really want to feel nicotine again

Anyway I bought a bunch of supplements to hopefully speed up my recovery: vitamin B complex, NAC, uridine monophosphate, omega-3, PQQ, CoQ10

I might add some other things later like zinc and mucuna pruriens.

I agree. It shouldn't be like this in the first place. Psychiatry, as it exists today, needs fundamental reform. There are far too many misdiagnoses, injustices, and lives that have been turned upside down. It's hard to believe we're living in the 21st century, yet in some ways the cruelty can still feel reminiscent of the earliest days of psychiatric institutions. I hope that one day real progress will be made, and this dark chapter of psychiatry will finally come to an end

Tell your psychiatrist.
You would rather pretend to practice evidence based medicine than admit that the medical system you dedicated your entire life is based on fraud.

The B vitamins helped me a lot, although I received them as intramuscular injections. I was also taking omega-3 at the same time, but I don't think I noticed much of an effect from it. What helped me the most, though, was time. I started noticing improvements after about six months.
By the way, I also received three injections. Hang in there!

That sounds really unsettling — to have recovered and then feel that shift. Have you noticed anything that seems to make it worse or better, or is it pretty constant?

Well I read that chronic thc abuse daily all day when it’s not a full spectrum product such as distillate if it’s in EXTREME doses like I was taking it can kinda blunt dopamine over time I abused it for 2.5 years daily right when I started to recover and read it can take 3 months to fully return when you stop abusing it
