Hey! You’re three months off .with just two shots ? You got this it won’t be easy but you’ll see a lot of progress in the next coming months. Your symptoms are quite normal reactions for Invega and luckily it doesn’t seem like you developed the more serious issues . All in all I think you are going to be just fine . Hang in there !!!

Oh and not to worry there’s been stories of people having like 10 injections of Invega and making a full recovery

thank you so much! Your support is the best news I’ve heard in months. It’s even made my year so far. I’m due to meet with my physiatrist on Thursday, and I also plan to schedule with a neurologist due to how hellish this has been since I’ve been on the medicine. I’m a little scared to be honest with them, however, because sometimes they dismiss side effects of medicine as just symptoms of your illness (in my case, schizoaffective disorder). Even if they acknowledge how horrible Invega has been to me, and that I was clearly better before taking the medication (Invega sustena, 2 shots), is there anything they could even do?

Or is it merely a waiting game?

Again, thank you!!

i started to improve 3 months off when i could smile and laugh again and wasnt feeling like a vegetable anymore then had real improvements after 6.5 months off where i can enjoy music again now and im happier and more social when calling or having conversations with ppl, i can also get high on weed and get euphoria from it just kinda less intense than before but still amazing (5 months off) havent used since then i think it would be even better if i tried now, i still have a very long way to go and have lots of symptoms like most activities still arent enjoyable other than music and brain power isnt fully back and i have sexual dysfunction with numb penis still which is the worst of all probably because of high prolactin and low testosterone this poison takes a while to recover from (6-24 months) but i think you will recover and so will most ppl who see improvements within a year hopefully including myself, i have a friend who didnt have much improvement for 7 months and now he recovered at the 10 month mark i am currently 7 months off

thank you for your feed back!!!! I’ll keep you all posted as time goes along.

Lastly, do you think I should be honest with my psychiatrist and neurologist about the side effects the med gave me? Will they actually be able to do anything? Or is it all just a waiting game?

Again, thank you so much!!!

your welcome brotha, yeah let them know how their poison affected you i dont think they can help much honestly they will probably try to give more meds thinking your depressed which will ruin you more and prevent recovery let them know what it did to you but do not take anymore psych meds it will ruin you i heard taking st johns wort can help clear the drug out of your system faster and nac can also help flush it out faster but be careful with nac it might make you puke and noopept can prevent the drug from damaging your brain this is just what ive read on here from many ppl but be careful and stop those things if they make you feel worse and avoid things which make you more psychotic
 
I was at the psychiatrist office today, and he told me he needs to talk to the other psychiatrists to get advice about putting me on pills instead of injections.
Please pray for me that he will put me on pills instead. 🙏

My naturopathy doctor took out st John wort and NAC from my natural supplements regime.
 
I got a lot of weight with antipsychotics. That was true on Paliperidona and It is true again with Clozapine. I had a size 36-38 and now I am with 42-44 and growing 😔
 
Also can someone update me on the, vitamins I need to speed up/initiate the healing process.

I somehow managed to avoid those unpleasant wellness checks they so desperately wanted me to experience. Seriously it's not fun for them to come to your house while you're busy.

Probably best to get back to the pills they're not as bad but I sort of urge you to avoid any antipsychotics it literally kerfunkles your entire thinking system and libido. I remember not being able to get any elections for so long. My organic pleasures are only just returning. Finally starting to see light in life once again.

Everybody seems to start seeing light in life once again besides me. They screwed up my sleep. That is the worse.

I'm planning to take them maybe once a week just to tell the psychiatrist I'm taking the pills.
I agree about antipsychotics being bad for you.
 
I'm in a messed up state right now. I was doing fine before but at around the 4 months mark it started suffocating my brain and it hasn't stopped since.
