Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v 12

Just thought I'd add my personal experience. I had several shots altogether. I stayed busy and switched to a pill form of another ap and was good after a few months. I don't even remember having to really recover from it. They say the best thing you can do for your brain is physically move a lot. Dunno.

That's good news! Please can I ask which AP you switched to? Thank you very much
 
I never thought I'd say this here, but yesterday I found myself struggling with some suicidal thoughts again. Something happened that really threw me off balance, and my emotions overwhelmed me during the night.
I didn't think I'd be able to truly cry anytime soon, but yesterday I finally did. In a strange way, it felt like a release. At the same time, it was unsettling to realize how intense emotions can bring back very dark thoughts

Keep in mind that invega disrupts the link to the prefrontal cortex so countering negative thoughts becomes much harder.

Being able to cry is a good sign.
 
Me and a few other people recovering from invega no longer have dreams at night. Does anyone know if and when it comes back?

After the second injection, I still had dreams, but they were very chaotic and surreal. After the third injection, my dreams disappeared completely for about a month. Then they gradually started coming back, but I don't remember them very well. However, certain fragments stay in my memory, and I can still recall them after waking up. At this point, I dream every night. Sometimes I even have nightmares
 
I cant remember my dreams at all, when im asleep im basically knocked out.

I Think reading books will help put more thoughts in your head. You guys need to eat healthy to recover. Go for a 30 minute walk

consult with your therapists and suggest switching to abilify

it is the least harmful atypical antipsychotic in the meantime cobenfy becomes available for you in your area

every other brand gives you mouth dryness when you wake up to the point you almost will swallow your own tongue just to produce some salive

i cant answer your dm, i will write what i wrote in short. If u got shoots for temporary condition then stay off shoots, if u have condition maybe try other medicine u need medicine if doctor says so. Its been 18 months since last shoot and i feel great, i have emotions i have drive but that slowly came over time and i think that working out helped me the most and eating good food.I wish u all the best guys but if doctor says u need medicine then take it
