Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v 12

Like my nose literally feels concrete i can’t breathe through it like someone has broken my nose LOL and i’m still in a ward - but being out wouldn’t have made it better - i’m using sudafed to try and help but i’ve been here before it takes so long for these symptoms to go, it only gets worse … i got like 4 months of this blocked concrete feeling in my nose where i literally can’t breathe up it without sudafed …

id love to see them pay too; but thats why i want to keep faith in the lord

I also have faith in the Lord
 
Ive realised since invega kills your reward centre it’s the reson for not being able to feel motivation or weed or anything, is this permanent is it the reason people ask if they can feel substances again.. has anyone overcome this from not being able to feel weed again.. i don’t smoke anymore but I’ve come to the conclusion im fucked if it doesn’t come back as my whole life everything by was for reward
 
I'm back at abilify 5 mg once again. I realized my problem is much bigger than the injection, it's the black magic that was done to me. I feel like something unpure dwells in my body. I am lost and I don't know what I should do. I was born a muslim but I lived paranormal events that let me doubt Islam, at the same time I'm very much afraid of islamic hellfire and that's the only thing holding me back. Sorry for the subject, but this is like a cry for help. God knows it might be fruitful.

Do you know if it's possible for the blank mind caused by invega to go back to how it was before? I'm neurodivergent so I normally had lots of thoughts going through my head, but it's like the invega took away my neurodivergence by making my mind feel blank and empty...like I have no internal monologue or any thoughts and ideas. It feels so weird and got worse after that last dose @50mg they gave me.

Ok, so from what I’ve seen people get a new normal. You’re different every day right? Waking up is a new you.

You should get it back after the Receptor Cycling completes one cycle. It could be up to 7 years (That’s the maximum time measure accounted for typical Body Cell Cycling). Is apparently a limitation of Months for Brain Cells like Receptors.

•There’s a system in the Brain that attenuates to the basic Supply of Receptor Chemicals. With a detriment to a supply the Neural Plasticity is diminished. The Organisations that make the Drugs think the effect is Blockade but it actually throws this tuning off which is why they can’t effect a solution.

You should really aim to aid your Neurotransmitter Production Systems. Recovery of those will induce a second route for the Brain to Think. I’m just trying to Mechanically Solve this, I try to stay out of Biology.

It should improve but it is more about Re-Balancing the Systems in your Body.
Sorry if that answer is a bit Vague. There are Medical Career people who have been commented to have a God Complex. Beware.
 
It's been 13 days since my last dose and I don't know what to do. I can't pass time in any way because nothing interests me like it used to. How long will this go on for? Seconds are like days, minutes like months, hours like years, and days like decades...
 
There's nothing that brings me relief either at this point in time so it feels like I'm trapped in a closet unable to come out

Do you think the things that I used to be passionate about will come back when my brain receptors cycling completes the cycle? Will I go back to being the old me? That's what I want more than anything, as I feel like I lost part of who I was, the person I was intended to be. I feel like I lost my personality and I really don't like this current version of myself.

That's exactly where I am, Brendan. You likely have a much better shot, once you're off the Invega (I would suggest not going on other antipsychotics like I had to because of insomnia) ~
Maybe it'll take a little time, which I surely know is brutal to get through, but you're young, once free of these awful meds, your brain will likely find its balance again, that's my two cents anyway.

You think the meds caused the 'concrete' nose? That would be weird. Sounds awful though. Yea, I wish I still had faith in the Lord. Lost that completely. Definitely a bummer.

Not me. I read a little about them, definitely some potentially really bad side effects, especially with long term use. Have you heard of any positive results countering these antipsychotic meds?

Dopamine agonists ae fucked. Thats what scared me off taking the steroid deca you have to take carbergoline on it sometimes

If you want something for anhedonia youd be better off trying methylphenidate imo
 
I went to the park today with sister, brother-in-law, and young nieces. I remember how I used to play with my niece before this invega and how even though I tried playing it didn't generate that same kind of happiness it used to for me, like I was just going through the motions. If it was my old self nothing would have been able to stop the child inside me, but invega took that away. Will this ever return?? I was doing better in the end of June but this last dose was the straw that broke the camel's back it feels.
 
Distance yourself from your experiences.
Don't expect to reach the perfect peace and happiness of earthly life. This should be your new attitude : no matter what your experiences are, enjoy them objectively, like you would a movie. You need to find true peace and happiness within yourself. Your external experiences should just be fun. You can make everything miserable if you let your mind do that. It's possible to be in good health and not appreciate it at all. But if you don't feel well, then you'll appreciate what it means to be healthy. Show gratitude to God for what He gives you, without waiting for troubles to become thankful.
You are an immortal child. You came to Earth to have fun and enjoy yourself. That's why life should be a mix of meditation and activity. If you lose your inner balance, that's when you become vulnerable to worldly suffering. Don't dishonor the name of God, in whose image you were made. Awaken the innate power of your mind by affirming: "No matter what experiences come, they can’t touch me. I am always happy."

But they can combat the effects

Hmm, yeah, maybe something to look into... Are there any natural agents that are powerful enough to have a positive impact? I've had enough of all the pharmaceuticals.

It's not quite as simple as just addng a dopamine agonist and that will automatically counteract the effects of a dopamine antagonist. Dopamine agonists can be nasty on the heart as well and cause weird symptoms like gamblng and sex addiction and also hallucinations and psychosis of course. Imo if you want something dopaminic to help the anhedonia try methylphenidate

Hey, just getting out to the park is an accomplishment. I haven't left the house in months. Sorry you weren't able to engage with family in the same way. I have that problem too. The old 'connection' with people has been lost on many levels. It's awful. And terribly sad. It sounds like if you were better before this last injection, then you'll likely be better again, maybe even before the next injection, but surely by the time your last injection wears off. Maybe that last straw just caused a bit of muscle strain in the camel's back... X-rays show it's not broken ; ) - Sincerely, Dr. Dan
