Yeah thank the lord I didnt get any TD at all but I would have eventually gotten it cuz my evil psychiatrist wanted to keep me on invega for years despite my psychosis being weed induced. He originally told me and my family that i will be on invega for 6 months only, when the 6 month mark arrived, he literlly laughed and said " You really thought I would take you off invega this early? , no you will be on it for 2 years minimum". Had I not stopped showing up for injections, I would have been on it for 7-9 years with permanent TD.

It's a fucking sick joke man. They have no idea what this poison does. They are lucky they will probably never have to know what this poison does.

I absolutely 100% needed antipsychotics as well. I had psychosis and also cotards syndrome. Istead of giving me antipsychotics however i was denied any medication at all for 3 months despite being fully psychotic and thinking i was dead because of cotards. That is 3 months i have little to no memory of.

I was actually grateful when i got a new shrink and tried invega as atleast it was better then psychosis and cotards. I dont think invega though and absolutly not the injections should be anywhere near first line therapy though. I wish they had just given me 20mg's of zyprexa the first night in there instead of fucking leaving my unmedicated for 3 goddamn months.

I dont know how some shrinks have a fucking license because some of them are so lazy and useless. The inpatient ones are by far he worst as you dont have a choice in who you see there

It’s crazy to me that they overmedicate people who don’t need it and refuse to give meds when people do. Shit is so backwards

Because i had a shrink who hated me. She wanted to see me in prison. Her words to my brother exactly.

Finally after my 6th huge fight and getting tossed in solitary again i finally got a invega injection and came back to life. Like literally back to life because i had cotards syndrome and thought i was dead.

The amount of power 1 shrink can have over you is amazing. If she had been a man i would have beaten the fucking shit right out of her

So you were in the psych ward for 3 months?

Are you aware that just because something is called and antipsychotic doesn't make it invega levels of bad?

That "something" is an antipsychotic that is well known for significant weight gain and other negative metabolic issues which you won't even see unless you get a blood test. It can happen even from only 5mg daily.

Just making the point that not everything is invega. Seroquel as an example is just like a sleeping pill really

Hey, how are you doing? We're kind of in the same situation with invega followed by an SSRI and I want to let you know I have continued to improve. My emotional blunting is mostly gone and so is my anhedonia. I felt my musical anhedonia lifting through January and February and listening to music is fun again, just not as fulfilling as before. It has something to do with my mild emotional blunting. I feel frission frequently.
 
Hello everyone, I just want to come on here to give you guys hope because like you guys I went all over the internet searching for other people who were on invega. I came off of invega injections a few years ago as a result from over alcohol consumption (alcohol psychosis). It took me 1 year to go back to normal. I went through all of the unbearable symptoms everyone on here always mentions. Like restless leg syndrome, no emotions, no dopamine/serotonin, ect. All I did was take vitamins and magnesium. Supplements natural. Ate healthy and quit sugar. Worked out once my weight fell off. I am back to my normal self, have countless girfriends and began working on my career. If I can give you guys some advice, I was also "labeled" as a schizophrenic case because I was in and out of the psych ward countless times due to my chronic alcoholism however I realized I simply just was not eating any food, just pure beer and alcohol and a sandwich every other day. So once I refuled my body with the proper nutrients ect and began eating healthy and stopped drinking. They built up in my system and I went back to normal health. Dont give up. In my personal opinion its almost always due to subtances and or enviormental factors. Get up and change your life right now. There is hope. Everyone take care and if anyone has any questions I will be logging in and answering any questions. I am aslo here for support if anyone needs a "buddy" a friend or some sort of support.
