Who has trouble sleeping? Mine has gotten a little better but the dreams torture me.

I lost fully my ability to sleep. I am on Clozapine and can't quit It cold turkey. I reduced last night 25mg. And I was able to sleep but with fragmented sleep.
 
I need to recover from Xeplion, but no, now I'm being injected with Clopixol, so when the day comes and I'm free from it, I'll need to recover from the Clopixol injections as well. Damn.

At least I can get high on weed, but it's not the same high you get normally, It lacks euphoria. But at least it helps me do deep thinking and view things from different perspective.

On top of that, I need to find a job too, and it's tough to work with side effects and not being able to enjoy anything.

Please pray for me to get done with these injections, I can't stand this anymore.

My issue is Clozapine. I am trapped. I can't work. I was an engineer and now I have 65% invalidity because of the Paliperidona damage.

I've been working my second week at work at the grocery store stocking shelves. A couple of the managers say that I'm working too slow and they already started to cut my hours. The general manager says that he's willing to help me out if I push hard at work. I do all of this while still doing drugs too, I think I got it now though how to work faster.

Otherwise I would ask for a set schedule so that I could get another part-time job. I might get one anyways maybe even as a bouncer at a club. I'm a tall and big dude with some muscle on me, and I've had over 4 years of those injections but right now I'm finally feeling like I'm tougher and stronger enough to do something like that, and you would probably end up getting hot chicks too.

You move slow because of the injections, even if you come off the injections I doubt you’ll improve especially if meth isn’t helping you. I’ve talked to plenty of ppl on injections especially Invega Sustenna and that’s one main thing ppl complain off. The slower movements; it’s like you can try everything in your power to walk faster, do chores faster, workout faster ect but in the end your body doesn’t perform like it used to. I know a guy who’s taken years of Invega shots, he actually swears by Invega shots. He can work now and they’ve made him act normal but he had to quit a high paying job with benefits and everything because he couldn’t perform the tasks. He obviously as doesn’t know how bad the injections make him talk, look and at work I feel like once you been on them so long you forget the way you used to be. Your motor skills and your agility go down by at least 50% after you’re injected. Bottom line is the injections are hurting your performance art work not making you perform properly and move fast and finish tasks on time ect.

I don't see myself working. I got many antipsychotics post Invega and even ECT. They have fried my brain. I think I have to get used to the new self they have created.
 
I'm speaking to so many people and i'm hearing that the stem cells targeting the hormone producing glands.It makes the most sense.

I really hope there is a cure. Though I am not sure if I will be able to afford It. Do you know already how much It is going to cost?

nothing is going to happen to the doctor who did this to you. They are so protected. You need to let it go. Absolutely nothing will happen.

How did they verified that the damage was done by Invega? They always tell me that there is nothing visible. They said I had psychosis because I blamed Invega. They wanted to double Olanzapine so my psychosis to Invega will fade. This are the kind of psychiatrists I have to deal with.

As a rule, psychiatrists will circle the wagons around their practice. They will deny any mental harm from medication and shrug off physical harm as inevitable no matter how serious. Always talk to actual doctors about your side effects.

As for the whole pedo debate we're having on here, ephebophilia (attraction to teenagers) might be "normal," but it's demonstratably harmful to the teenager. The adults who practice it are usually attracted to adult women as well, but they tend to target teenagers for the power dynamic. And because they're fucking creeps.

Actual pedophilia is pretty rare. They don't feel normal sexual attraction to adults, and according to current research it's inherent from birth. I don't have much else to say about it except it sounds like a pretty shit hand to be dealt. That said, anyone actually willing to hurt a child to get off needs jail time, shit hand or not.

It all ranges depending on who you speak to. But it can range from 6500 up to 50000 dollars. The people that i'm speaking to that seem to make the most sense want 12,500.

Can lyme be causing issues too? My brain inflammation has been going away. Nowhere near what it was. I still think stem cell therapy gonna be the best help for me. I still want to go after the doctor that did this to me. But that won't serve any purpose. I have to get better.

You’re always rambling about the doctor that did this to you and how they’re going to “pay” this and that. Nothing is going to happen to the doctor who put you on Invega Sustenna. I would get a second opinion about your MRI showing damage as well. Sounds like you’re going down a rabbit hole. I’d have more than one opinion on if a doctor notices damage to that area. Who even says that this will help. You could just be wasting a ton of money. I haven’t heard of anyone on earth or read anything about stem cell research repairing your brain from antipsychotic damage.

The most you can do is write a letter to there practise about how they achieved malpractice, try to prove your point. Example kept you on a medication for a long period of time even when you were reacting badly to it and complaining constantly while having TD and continuing to inject you…..and you now have another doctor saying you don’t need that medication at all. Thats malpractice. They’ll have it on file and have a hiccup on there file “hopefully” but it probably wont do any damage.

I complained to the pharmacovigilance body and it only served to send me a Christmas greeting email. Pure cynicism.

I’m sorry but it sounds like your case is very complicated. Being on so many medications ect having so many procedures, ect with no improvements and never coming off medication to see how you are at baseline I don’t know what to say? Are you psychotic without medication? If not then you shouldn’t be on antipsychotics and find a new doctor. If you’re bipolar or schizophrenia or schizoaffective then you have to be on antipsychotics most likely and you have to get used to a new way of living no matter what damage Invega Sustenna caused. And usually injections are for ppl who aren’t reacting well to orals, or non compliant with medication or unpredictable. And if you don’t think you’re psychotic off medication then get a new doctor already.

They destroyed my sleep. They placed me on antipsychotics injections too quickly. After 3 months I was destroyed and nobody knew what to do. I just had a mild psychotic episode, they were the ones who made me feel awful every single day and night.

The only way you will “snap” out of a psychotic episode is if it’s drug/medication induced and the drugs or medications wear off and you come too. There’s no such thing as a “mild” psychotic ep. You either have a psychotic ep or don’t. And even if you have a psychotic episode that’s drug induced or medication induced. They put you on a run of oral medication if you’re compliant taking them as a first line of defence to make sure it’s just drug or medication induced. If it’s not medication/drug induced and it’s “stress” or “sleep” induced you’ll still need a run of antipsychotics and if orals don’t snap you out of it and it continues to get worse they’ll put you on injections. It’s just the way the system works. Were you sleeping while psychotic? Probably not?

Do you know if you’re psychotic without medication?
