Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v 12

Yeah i take a morning antipsychotic and a night time antipsychotic. I still hear things all the time.

Ive heard antipsychotics cause brain shrinkage, so i decided to get an MRI Scan and a CAT scan. As i say the results always come back that everything is fine. I can tell something is off with the brain.

What antipsychotic are you on? If your still hearing voices you may need another one
 
I don’t post here very often, but I’m 13 months out and I’ve stated my progress many times. I’m doing very well. I’m able to focus and enjoy things, and I’ve even started dating recently which I did not expect to happen.
Just because people who have recovered don’t post here anymore doesn’t mean recovery isn’t possible. Many people have been posting here for years that they have recovered, why act like the past can’t be true in the present?

Im on seroquel. Ive taken a lot with nasty side effects so im kind of scared to switch. I dont want to end up bedridden again cause the antipsychotic will zap all my energy. Most of the antipsychotics have terrible side effects. Im happy this one dosnt have the bedridden side effects.

Seroquel is a glorified antihistamine it didnt do jack shit for my psychosis. You could be experiencing negative symptoms and that could be whats making you feel fucked up. I had cotards syndrome when i was psychotic so ya that was a weird one

You should try zyprexa though. I take 10mg every ight and i dont get any side effects. Benzos also help psychosis but those have their own sets of problems. But you shouldnt have to suffer from that sht thres lots of options now

Your reply gives me hope. I'm almost eight months into recovery, and I can barely cry. Every now and then I feel a slight sense of anxiety, but that's all so far. For example, yesterday I found myself thinking about certain events from my past again. Tears welled up in my eyes without me even trying, but I still couldn't actually cry or get the emotional release I needed. I miss being able to express my emotions so much. By nature, I'm a very emotional person, but since Invega, it feels as if all my feelings have been stolen 😞

I was able to have a proper cry almost exactly a year out. I’m able to tear up way more easily now too.

I don’t know exactly. It was after 6 months though I’m sure. My adhd symptoms were so bad even while taking vyvanse I was forgetting my belongings in public places.

Maybe you should go for a walk, exercise, read a book, eat fish. You need to do thinhs to recover. You dont just magically wake up one day recovered.

Your soul is eternal, so if everyone will real what they sow as God in human form Jesus said, dont agonize, meditate, this body realized the power of the truth contained in holy books like Dmamapadda, Genesis, psalms, provervs, new testament in George Lamsa translation, Bhagavad Gita. Knowing that realms of heaven purgatory and hell exist dont create bad karma for your own good, stay pure its crucial, dont watch pornography dont go on prostitutes, avoid rap heavy metal rock punk gothic satanic music etc, eat healthy exercise and you will survive. All of us should get in best shape possible to expose the madness that goes in psychiatry, but Jesus said "love thy enemies" so keep that in mind. Also the most beautiful moment as well as enormous traumas of my life were given by psychiatrist, and i only avoided permament brain damage which would be years of forced antipsychotics only because i live in Poland. Inshallah God please let me expose this story with truth nonviolence and peace.✝️🩵
