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

Can Risperidone therapeutic drug monitoring test also detect paliperidone? I got the test from my family doctor but just as I was about to pay $56 for the test chatgpt told me that this test will not work. Obviously chat gpt gets things wrong all the time so does anyone know if this test will detect invega even though its risperidone? (risperidone and invega are very similar)
 
This comment is extemporaneous.

I definitely think what most, if not all, of you are going through is lung or chest inflammation. That includes the heart.
It's affecting your emotions. And the better your lung or chest gets, the better you will experience your emotions.

Invega caused your body to react by creating inflammation. You may have experienced oxidation as well.
The Invega itself may have hung around for a long period in your body, but I think what you're really dealing with is the inflammation it caused by being a poisonous or toxic substance to your body. (It's kind of like when a stroke happens or occurs.) And some, if not all, of you, or most of you, may have suffered some kind of allergy-induced asthma from Invega.

I haven't taken the garlic lately. But the garlic has helped much. And many people who did recover fully, took vitamins, and certain vitamins are known to reduce or cure inflammation. Because of their anti-inflammatory properties.

I've recently ordered things to detox my lungs, heart (or chest area). (And also, for anti-inflammation, etc.) And today I've noticed improvements. And prior to today I've noticed improvements after taking certain supplements and medications. Apple Cider Vinegar is good. Apples, as the fruit, is good. Advil (Aleve, Tylenol) plus Allegra is good.

The inflammatory response must be attacked. It must be faithfully or continuously targeted. Lower heartbeats, especially from masturbation or sexual intercourse, is a sign your chest or lungs, or both, are having problems. And if you cure the heart and/or lungs, you may also have your sexual dysfunction cured. If the lungs are messed up, the heart rate, beat, circulation, oxygen, etc., may also be messed up, and thereby messing up your sexual function as well. (There's much that happens from the brain to the chest and to the lower areas or parts of the stomach, such as the testes, etc.)

Taking Advil and Allegra must be like one is experiencing, not only a headache, but earache or ear infection. If you don't continue dealing with the allergies or inflammation, you may never have the earache go away. Your lungs or chest may never improve or take a long time, or really long time, so, if one is wise, they will treat inflammation like a flu or earache, or coronavirus..., they will continue to take medications or supplements regularly and repetitively until they're cured.

I'm almost there. I can definitely feel it. I trust in God, and I trust that God has all wisdom, and that includes the wisdom to heal or cure us from all diseases, etc., not just spiritually, but naturally as well. We must, if we're wise, seek both.

I love you all! I will update you later. Please, listen to me. You shouldn't keep suffering in vain. You must accept that Johnson and Johnson lies, and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, and all of us may not have gotten the same Invega injection. There are off-labels or off-brands of Invega (or paliperidone palmitate).

Peace and Love! And GOD bless you.

😀😀😀😀😀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@TonyTonyChopper you've had a few phychosis's now ain't you? Did you get drugs for them? What was the aftermath like the other times for you?

i only had 3 episodes last year and all were because of marijuana. They put me on olanzapine pills then haldol shots then 10 invega shots. Last injection was 7.5 months ago and not recovered.

I'd assume mine was marijuana induced. I had a lot of use beforehand and was fine. I started using a lot of other stuff, then a high potent edible sent me over the edge. How long were your episodes? Mine lasted over a month. Was still fine otherwise, fully functional until the medication. How was olanzapine to you? I have no idea how people stay months stuff long term from my experience with invega, I can do nothing, feel nothing, don't want to talk to anyone or anything.
 
I’ve had “weed episodes” my whole life and I’ve recovered fine without invega. My problem is I just don’t know when to stop weed.
Having no emotion is starting to make me feel like a psychopath.

It was def the weed that did it to you because weed also didn't cause me problems for 4 years of using and then suddenly the psychosis hit me in 2023. So many people from here and reddit got psychosis from weed. The common factor was weed. Olanzapine for me wasn't bad, it got rid of my psychosis , didn't give me anhedonia ( maybe cuz i was on it for only 2 weeks) but it did give me tardive dyskinesia. The only reason I was on Invega for 10 months was cuz I was forced, I wanted to get off that shit the first month.

Yer read some people saying they ended up in the same state with no meds, just from phychosis, so don't know what to think. I was already out of phychosis and felt fine before the shot. It was like a light switch. Was also still myself and functioning in phychosis till I got really paranoid after about a month.

Even looking back there were some crazy unexplainable things that were happening at the time, like really crazy coincidences and such but I try not to think about it haah

Yer, you're probably right. I loved edibles for a while tho, would eat high doses at like 6am and just go about my day. Once mixed other stuff into the mix, the high dose edible bit me haha. I was forced the first 3 injections while in ward, then was too fucked up from them to plead my case so got another 2. Never no talk about side effects, even when pretty much having seizures, couldn't talk, lift my head up or nothing. Was just your forced t keep on them and here we will keep adding more and highering the dose, if when I'm like "yo, I ain't heard anything in weeks I'm fine now". Was honestly convinced it was some sort of torture for whatever reason, crazy how them places are allowed to operate how they do.

On the bright side, from my reading you seem right round the corner from when a lot of people start feeling a lot better, I'd imagine shouldn't be much longer hopefully.

I remember feeling like that, it sucks. I always had a lot of affective empathy but as an autistic person I had trouble with cognitive empathy. Cognitive empathy was all I had for almost a year. I have just enough emotion and empathy to feel like a normal person again, but I'm not the same yet.

It's so fucking cruel to have that taken away. It's like your soul is gone.

I may have had psychosis from weed withdrawal instead of use. I thought it was Straterra, and Prednisone made me a bit manic (and even more irritable, I used to be a very irritable person), but since I only ever had episodes or got kinda funky a week off of weed, maybe it wasn't the pharmaceuticals I was taking. I'm never going to get into the habit of using THC every day again. If my chronic pain flares up again I'm going to use CBD most of the time instead. I smoked every day for three years straight, and smoking once a week for years before that. That kept my depression away and my OCD in check.

I'm completely fine now, psychosis-wise. Putting people on antipsychotics for years after drug induced psychosis is unnecessary and the practice needs to be re-evaluated. I think people only need to be on them for a matter of months, and only if the psychosis doesn't resolve on its own.

Yeah your right it’s weed withdrawal.

Your asleep on weed and then when you have none you get a rush of chemicals and that’s when you get manic.
