Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v 12

Haven’t gotten high due to fears of psychosis, unemployment, and house rules. I’ve been sober for around the past 6 months aside from maybe 2-3 nights of drinking alcohol with a friend. I’m starting to regain all what was lost and I feel a bright uptick for my future. All I need back is all my intellectual capacity, creative capabilities, and to lose 80 pounds somehow. Once I get all those back I’ll consider myself fully recovered, I got my last shot in August(23?). So coming up in 10 days will be 5 months time.

I additionally contracted a concussion hitting my head first onto the ground slipping while during my psychosis. At first I was unsure if I’d be forever mentally incapacitated relative to my previous heights but as time progresses things continue to get better for me so my fears have diminished greatly. I’ve also had 4 or 5 concussions up to this point, and none of them has damaged, removed, or taken away my cognitive capacities or capabilities like this one/ Invega has done.
 
Its been almost 4 months since stopping 400mg abilify injections and for the last month vyvanse has been helping me a lot.

You did not have sexual dysfunction, sleep disruptions, loss of emotions, and inability to exercise with invega?

Your lucky i got 30mg Vyvanse and after 5 months 3 days and 12 days rimficin, and nothing happened to me. I don't get people who say abilify and invega are same, it's clearly a worse poison, invega.

They are close. But invega defo seems harsher. I'd rather get put on abilify than invega for sure

Yeah i guess, i smoke a joint or two daily. Make food taste better, it's better to be disable and high rather only disable.

if you take the riamficin for a month or so, maybe the anhedonia would lift, do you feel even side effects on vvyanse?

for sense of smell, has it weakened on invega?

1. Yes I had sexual dysfunction for a while. My semen release would be a very tiny portion of what it was normally and additionally my semen would be extremely watery. Unlike the usual texture of semen. I haven’t noticed this as of late but I’ll have to check again sometime in the future.

2. I had insomnia and nightmares at the very beginning of Invega. I had it for about 1 week, then after that my body settled in and I was fine after that. I actually sleep better post invega generally, I consistently get 8 hours of rest where as before I would wrestle with my thoughts immensely late at night until I finally fell asleep.

3. I gained nearly 80 pounds. My knees hurt when I run, and I give up quickly. At the beginning I had an immediate inability to do anything requiring physical fitness even before I gained all the weight that has accumulated onto my body today. Today I’m able to do moderate exercise but I’m not as skillful at as I once was, mostly due to body weight and the issues that come along with being obese.
 
Iosip, invega torture are two recoveries that are really inspirational for me, dr zaius as well

Is it common for me to still feel the full effects of Invega right now? I would assume I would start to feel different coming 5 months- but I’m the same. Albeit I don’t pace anymore, but I still have a case of mental akathisia. I’m scared that this will be permanent. Are there some people out there, who noticed no improvements at a similar timeline to me, only to improve in the future. Im sorry this is a negative post- I’m just petrified.
