Hello everyone. Just making an update post to hopefully give some of you hope if you are in darkness right now dealing with invega.

I personally had an extremely fucked reaction. Every symptom and it was so bad it also gave me some pretty severe kyphosis (hunched spine) over night.

With the exception of my spine and some circulation issues everything healed and improved. I genuinely believed it was IMPOSSIBLE for me to ever be happy again. I was very wrong.

I am now a stronger individual who is extremely grateful to have a second chance at life again.

What helped me the most was consuming raw milk. Extremely good for healing.

Much love ❤️
Thanks for coming back. You were bedridden it was so bad, right? Mornings worse than night? Do you actually wake up wanting to get up and do stuff again like before?

At the worst of it i would be in my room laying in bed 23 hours a day and only come out to grab food. It was hell 24/7. I actually can’t believe I didn’t commit suicide. Now I am filled with motivation to live my best life.

This is me.

Morning worse than night.

I became so narrow minded also.

When I try to do something, I see only narrow and neglect other facts.

My brain is focused on one tiny things and become negative about it.

It's really crazy ain't it? I say mornings but I don't even experience mornings anymore. I'm asleep till 1pm every day, then either in bed all day or go for walks after 4 hours of mustering the courage. I used to be up and out of bed ready for the day by 7am automatically, had always been that way.

There's also nothing I'd like to do anymore. I used to be pretty active and engage in activities by default also. Just being outside around other people was like a drug, now all I think about is when this "timer" is up and I can go back to sleep again, since I can sleep only once now and not on command like before.

If someone were to inform me what the delusions were and what was going on, instead of just kidnapping me with no explanation or anything leading to the paranoia becoming worse, think this all could have been avoided.

I also still can't watch TV or use a computer, it's too uncomfortable to force myself. I can now open YouTube app and have videos on as a distraction. Don't take much in from them still or remember anything though.

How long have you been off invega for?
 
Btw guys when I say raw milk helped me, I dont mean a little bit. I drink 1.5 - 2 litres a day. Not a cup every now and then. I think its worth a try if you feel you have run out of options. Ive healed extremely quickly from antipsychotics twice now. And I do believe this contributed to my success greatly.

Praying for you all 🙏

It seems everyone who recovers once recovers multiple times if need be. How long was your recovery the first time?

9 months for 2 shots of invega. 4-5 months to heal from being on olanzapine and haliperdidol pills. I was on those pills for about 2.5 months. They also fucked me up. But not as bad as the injections.
 
@stolensoul how long you off? You noticed anything change? I have been keeping up with the thread, just can't seem to retain information for some reason
