[11injections]

hi all. been following this thread for a while now. i've had 11 invega sustenna injections, i started at the highest dose and now my last injection was the lowest dose at 39mg a few days ago. my shrink discontinued invega sustenna, i was supposed to have 1 more injection (court ordered treatment) but she put me on abilify 2mg pills and said to start taking them now (same day as my last invega injection).

i am happy to no longer have to be injected with invega because i have all the horrible side effects, (depression, anhedonia, negative thoughts, no motivation etc) but i am scared to start the abilify because i don't know if it will mess me up even more. my prolactin is too high from the invega (no period since august, hair thinning, acne etc) and abilify is supposed to lower prolactin. but i am scared of having more side effects from being on 2 antipsychotic medications.

my court ordered treatment ends next month, so i will not be forced to take anything after that.

should i take the abilify 2mg and hope it will reduce my prolactin? or will i be over medicated since i just got injected with invega? i don't know what to do.

hoping i will start to recover once invega leaves my system, i can't remember the last time i felt joy, motivation, or any positive feelings associated with living. i'm a shell of who i used to be.

nah dont take abilify it gave me high blood sugar that my doctor almost put diabetic in my history and once i stopped taking it my blood sugar went back to normal. The prolactin will come down eventually but will take a while . You can take medication like cabergoline to lower prolactin but just give it time.

They say the brain becomes oversensitive to dopamine after the drug have left but I have hardly seen that happened to any one.

Anybody taking any drug to help with this?

Just wait 1-2-3 or 4 years to see if you recover, there is no “antidote” or drug that can reverse the receptors expression back to how it was before the injections.

I think Cannabis and maybe psychedelics can help. Psychedelics help with neuroplasticity.

It’s still like a hell for me and I can’t do this shit anymore, my sleep is shit I haven’t laughed in 6 months I have blank mind , severe pssd , I literally can’t wait for a year or two years to see what’s gonna happen

You should try and switch benzos. Clonazepam and bromazepam help my intrusive thoughts alot. So does zopiclone. The good news is the intrusive thoughts become alot less frequent over the years. I dont get them much now

Tbh I rather die than living with mental illness, life is too fucked up to even have a mental problem as well, it will take years for me to recover from this shit and trust me man I don’t wanna live anymore my brain is too fucked to recover from all this shit i literally always zone out and can’t even do anything during a day, so fuck it man let’s go to see what’s there in afterlife, it’s either darkness which is peaceful or even better, can’t be worse than this for sure

a hell awaits those that commit suicide. Don't doom urself and give ur brain few years to recover from invega. You are making a permanent mistake on a temporary problem

If there is a god, he won’t be that cruel to put somebody that was suffering on earth in hell, your brain activity alters after psychosis and invega so you never get those vibrant feeling’s from life anymore, and by the way I’m doomed right now on the earth maybe with death I can finally sleep without trouble

Dude dont give up ffs. Being dead sucks i know i had cotards syndrome and thought i was dead. It sucked so bad. Couldnt get high couldnt do anything i was just dead. Once your dead your dead your dead dude you cant fix that. What if the last thing that goes through your mind if how much youd rather be alive? Death is to final for my liking.

ust hang in there things get better

The pain for every person is different and it acts differently on everyone, you might got used to living like this, but I can’t never live like a human who doesn’t enjoy shit and is like zombie 24/7, nothing has changed past 6 months and nothing gonna change after 6 more months , I just have to bare more pain which I can’t do it anymore, call me pussy but u never know what pain im going through right now and symptoms are different for each person

Dude I literally can’t get high on anything anymore because of my psychosis and shitty ass injection what’s the point anymore? I’m not like other people I’m mentally ill now and I hate that fact , I won’t wait more to be like other people who didn’t heal in months and just having a hope that one day they might get better, as far I see most people don’t recover from this shit or people who recover they get better after 6 months, what’s the point to wait and suffer and live in my past? Fuck that I will just disappear and death is not that scary bro , I like the fact that I can finally have a restful sleep than sleeping like a fucking dog every night and waking up after some hours still tired and being so angry at everything? I won’t survive like this and I rather die tbh and if anyone has a easy way to do it dm me please , I already have a plan and I know it’s gonna fuck up my family but I’m in pain , i eventually gonna die why not sooner?
