Mental Health Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v. 9

[DrMike]

Lol coffee for getting interests back? and how does that work basically? do you think coffee will magically unblock his dopamine receptors all of a sudden? cmon dude...

It was just a suggestion, it does seem to help me, that's why I said it. Just saying, I'm only trying to help.
(I do realize that it sounds lame to try and use coffee to alleviate symptoms, I truly do) I'm just trying to help people who have suffered or are suffering with symptoms that I have had as well.

I know this may sound like a repetition, but CBDs have helped me a whole bunch when it comes to hunger. Have you tried coffee or maybe a different stimulant for getting your interest in things back? (maybe you could try an antidepressant?)

Unfortunately I dislike coffee and antidepressant I am a bit wary of. I guess I have to wait and slay time somehow and hope. I am only a month off tho.. there are times where I vent and then it's good again good as neutral.

I'm wary of antidepressants as well, I discontinued mine a few years back. When you say "vent" do you mean crying?

Hi
Everything will come back into place but the problem is the action that was carried out by the neuroleptics will take a lot of time to work again and become like before.
But yes everything will return to the way it was before but in a few years or even 5 years.
But we must quickly change the treatment at a minimum already and for those who no longer have anything, it's as if they still had medication because the brain has been so modified that it remains in the same state.
There are effects that go from attenuating as for sex and this is what comes back in the first years.
On the other hand, energy, desire or motivation is all a hassle for those who were the first to take on a major treatment.
The brain needs a lot of time to recover.
For my part, I curse the people I met for simple crazy food.
I wish them worse than what they put me through.
And karma will happen naturally, it is life that will avenge you by dint of wishing them. I found this testimony

I wouldn't say crying really I can't really produce on my own much tears but with others yes. But I mean more likely letting steam off and also writing my thoughts on paper. I heard this unleashes repressed emotions I used to do that before I went sick. Just writing everything down and such as I hate this shithole it's better than lying to myself. I want to atleast try to get in touch with my emotions again which also means repressed rage. Perhaps If I am being truly honest my body can heal better. I think invega stuffs that all down because now memories come up which I forgot about

Today marks exactly 5 months since my last 100 mg Invega injection. It's not looking good. Barely any improvements. I'm still suffering from too many side effects to list. I was forced to take 10 Invega injections and 3 Haldol injections, so my chances of recovery were already slim. I still have some hope because I pray to God every day to cure me. That's honestly the only way I see myself recovering since my receptors are so fried. I still take Wellbutrin, but it barely does anything, so I think I'll finish my current bottle and not refill it. It costs me $52 per month, which is too much since I don't work. Overall still at like 5% improvements which is barley anything for 5 months. I should be at 40 or 50% if the theory that it takes 1 full year to heal is true but im at a mere 5%.

Try normal weed. I smoked it and gave me huge relief in my symptoms. High is muted but i feel it. Dont go high thc carts. Cbd stops you from getting psychotic

Antidepressants aren't safe if you are still recovering from invega.

 

[JoshuaGuillory36]

Great God, I pray that we satisfy You.

Jesus said, on earth as it is in heaven. Your will be done. Your kingdom come. God, you want heaven on earth. This is your earth. The earth is Yours and the fullness thereof. Although men may think world peace is impossible, with You all things are possible.

There is a heavenly realm called heaven. And you, God, are Heaven. You are love, joy, peace, and goodness. And since you are ubiquitous or omnipresent, love, joy, peace, and goodness should exist everywhere and be fully in the minds and hearts of everyone.

You want us to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the Gospel of Peace, to the world (or true World Peace).

Just as the Trinity works and is true, (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) so does and is the triune gospel of Heaven.

What we pray is what we desire. And we desire to thank you and praise you. We desire for you to heal us fully or bless us to fully recover. We desire to be who You want us to be, say what You want us to say, do what You want us to do, and go where You want us to go. And we desire your mercy, tender mercies, and blessings.

Everything you make or create or manifest yourself as is miraculous. Trees are miraculous. Grass is miraculous. People are miraculous, etc. Receptors are miraculous. The limbic system is miraculous. Enabling us to feel or experience emotions is miraculous.

We were created in your image. And therefore, we were created perfect and are perfect. We were created free and are free. We were created equal and are equal. We were created right and are right. We were created victorious and are victorious. We were created healthy and are healthy. We were created with infinite potentiality or possibility and are infinite potentiality or possibility.

God, may you enlighten the atheist and nihilist. May you turn them from being dumb and foolish to being wise and upright. Reach into their hearts and transform their minds to be aligned with your will, O LORD.

May you make desolate and scatter the wicked forces of the world. May you change the wicked governments, religious institutions, and societies to conform to your way. May you humble the FBI, CIA, NSA, and all fellowships or organizations and convert them to follow, join, and uphold your plans, policies, and laws without dismay.

We love you, LORD. We magnify and bless your name. We will all live according to your blueprint for togetherness. We will enforce your sovereignty on Earth. We will say what is right even if the majority of people don't like it. We will not give up on You. You are forever true. You forever do what you say you will do. You are always faithful and without fail.

Peace and love.

Amen.

I was given Haldol, Invega and Risperidone. I'm almost there. You will get there too. Progress isn't linear. The stories on here are all vastly different. But you can trust the human body that god created to return you to homeostasis.

It’s been 8 months. Zero improvement here I have all the side affects at full force. Im trying Wellbutrin before I commit suicide. you can tell me it’s not safe and all that, but honesty I have no other choice besides death. I’ll report back soon - wodienem

 

[DrZaius1]

I’ve researched suicide methods too much and even if I had a magical pill I still wouldn’t take it because I’ve developed a fear of death. Like what happens after we die? If it’s nothing I don’t want that but I also don’t want to be alive just as much.

I really wish I had an easy way to die a few months ago when I didn’t know anything and could’ve just taken it and been dead all this time. I feel like I’ll be alive until I die of something else or old age now. It scares me because I know life will never be OK like it used to be.

Trust me, there is a continuation after we die, I experienced and saw with my own eyes esoteric and spiritual stuff that prooved to me that god exists and souls exist.
There's never nothingness.
What worries me is that god might punish me for commiting suicide and give me bad life or put me in an animal's body instead.

I was around 5%-10% at 5 months off.

 

[UnluckyXeplion]

How much now?
What about your sexual function, desire and sperm production?
How many months off?

If anyone on here is struggling with weight gain on antipsychotics i would recommend taking up weight lifting if they can. I took it up at the same time i went on zyprexa because i didnt went to gain any weight. The first month sucks but after that its pretty easy. I have been lifting weights for a year and a half now and i have managed to put on about 30lbs of muscle in that time.

Another thing is that any exercise really helps basically any mental illness. If you cant lift weights you could do cardio. It wont replace medication but it did improve my mental health heap. I have never been in this good of shape before.

 

[TonyTonyChopper]

How much Wellbutrin are you taking? My doctor is trying me on it bc I used to be dependent on stims, but it really doesn't seem to do anything to me either. It seems like my brain doesn't want to respond to anything. The biggest relief I've gotten is from oral CBD/CBN and THC (THC in very small amounts, it just adds to anxiety and paranoia, and it still does, unless I eat a bunch of CBD with it,) weed is another thing that was ruined for me by neuroleptics.

i tried 150 mg wellbutrin 4 months ago and i honestly got stimulant effects and motivation then i quit it for some reason . I got on wellbutrin again a month ago at 300 mg and no effects what so ever . My motivation and concentration is still shit.

When i finally got off invega and abilify my attention span was the last thing that came back. That took about a year.
