Constant saliva sucking and puckering though
I found the tongue sticking out and sucking on lips to get dramatically worse if anxious. Like if going to talk to the hospital parole officer type person they make you see, my uncomfortableness would cause it a lot more, which made them decide it wasn't a drug sidefx problem, I was just not drinking enough water. Crazy they don't even seem to understand the pretty common problems with these drugs haha.
 
That sucks you never had anything on the cloud or any sort of external drive. For future reference, proton drive is a great cloud service, as long as you're not on macos or Linux. Even me just loosing my steam acc with that I've used for a decade with all my gaming achievements and friends gathered over the years done my head in. Fuck Microsoft shitty autoblocking emails, two of them autoblocked at the same time lmao.
I own an external hard drive. It just has Final Fantasy 14 on it, and I'm still a noob there. I had full intentions of backing stuff up, but it was always "I'll do it later". I had to learn my lesson the hard way I guess. My only hope is that I can still get the data off the hard drive and make repairs if I can. I thought my laptop wasn't repairable but it turns out it is, I just don't have the right tools to open it.

Yeah i can relate to it being anxiety induced. How did you know it went away was it gradual or instant relief

Yh, games suck these days, like 200gb plus a game, that's the only reason I started using external drives a while ago. I'd get like a 2tb hdd, download like 7 games and be like wtf is happening, I've got no space left, so I'd start stocking up on external drives haha. The big shift that caused me to start using the cloud was uni work, I'd be paranoid about loosing external drives and Microsoft cloud drives always sucked, they have good compatability with a range of systems/companies but would always have weird descrpencys between systems. On one system you might have full access to a file, on another you could view it but not edit it, on another it might not sync properly and you ended up with a really old version of the file, it was weird and really hard to figure your way around.

I thought laptops still had certain parts that were modular and replaceable, like storage but wasn't sure, never used many laptops. How much liquid did it take to fuck yours up? Like a pint? I've had electrical vapes stop working after getting wet, but they have always recovered after a few heatups/time

Like 2 weeks after stopping abilify, the hurts of pacing around pretty much went away completely. The anxiety induced stuff is still here, in conversations I'm not comfortable in, I still rub my hands or go from rubbing my knee with my hand to hair rubbing. Never had any of this before. I can deal with 30 min of restlessness if I'm uncomfortable. The unpredictable need to pace/ stand up was terrible tho, glad that's 100% gone away for me.
 
One thing I will say, is that in the UK, if you have a stay in the ward, you get support workers on release. They spend few hours a week with you, just getting out doing stuff with you. I liked this a lot. The main person you see, I didn't like, just felt like they are there to follow you after release, like your a criminal. Everyone of the support people I've had, has been fantastic though. Just give you something to get out of bed for, even if it only be for a few hours a week. They have always just done what I suggest and don't seem to judge much. Only positive aspect of this situation so far.

Edit: I think you only get one of them over here if you're admitted for over 3 months, remember something being mentioned when I was still in a drug induced haze after injections.

Do you feel symptoms coming on slowly or just 0 to 100 symptom wise? Just in case for future reference
 
Everything is a waste of time in this state. It's not a terrible idea to speak to someone. No-one will force you. I was reluctant as well but it helped just that tiny bit. Recently I bailed on an appointment and haven't booked another since. But it had it's benefits while I was attending.
No magic word will take away my inability to sit still. All I think about is when will I have the guts to kill myself because I can't live a life like this. I'm so fucking scared. Waste of time and money.
 
Let some girl hug you it will help
You know you really suck. How old are you? Nothing you say is productive. You just add nothing to the conversation. I'm suffering beyond belief. I need support not dumb ass comments about hugs from girls. Or bible bashing bullshit. God doesn't care about us. God is punishing us.

I firmly believe this is hell. My existence is hell. I am so scared. Every day I wake up and start pacing my house and it won't stop.

You should just shut the fuck up. Haven't even had the invega injections. Seriously I'm in actual hell wanting to kill myself because the thought of living the rest of my life like this is to much to consider.

Doctors treating me like a druggie. I am so scared so stop your absolute nonsense
 
Drank like 1100ml of vodka, I feel alcohol again, in high quantities, like it was before. I even got the same phenomenon I used to get from it were I can't sleep after drinking. Good sign in my book, need to stop drinking a bottle+ a day tho haha

Edit: 5am, still awake. Not gonna be up till about 7pm by the looks of it ffs.

The Doctors didn't believe me that the Invega would be causing such severe effects on me after 1-month post-injection either. The medical literature contradicts with what our experiences are and they tend to default to what the literature states. At least that has been my experience. My Doctor/treatment team believed me that I was experiencing severe symptoms, just didn't think the Invega was the cause.

I ended up having Invega listed as an allergy in my medical chart to avoid ever getting the injection again.

Regarding the God stuff being talked about on this thread, I don't personally believe in God. If prayer helps someone get through this then I'm happy for them. Like you said, it feels like being in hell coming off this injection.

At age 38, you still have time to heal and get your life back on track. It sucks that it takes so long to recover from this shot, but you will recover. I remember thinking I had permanent brain damage and was fucked...wanted to die everyday...I even made a suicide pact with myself that if I didn't recover after 5 years then I would end my life. Thankfully I did recover because I may have followed through if the suffering lasted that long.

One thing that kept me going was that I had a dog I was responsible for helping take care of. I didn't want to kill myself and leave her.

You can get through this. It really, really fucking sucks. "Hell" is an apt description. I described it in the early months as my mind being trapped in a vice grip for which there was no escape. Fortunately, time was the escape. It just takes longer than we would like.

Why are you even here? You haven't even had these injections. You cannot relate they are not all the same.

I'm simply seeking support and feedback from anyone that might have had a similar experience as mine with akathisia. And all you do is be rude.
