Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v11

I'm feeling more positive about recovery right now. My restlessness has definitely eased up abit because I don't complain about it as much. It's just happening so slowly I barely noticed. It's still there, but not as bad. 68 days since last injection.
 
they told me you can take the injection for convenience and I obliged, why did they never warn me on the harms it could cause?

Because if they did then you newer would take it in the first place, and they know that, so they dont tell a single thing about.

Like how they did to me, they just told me “it’s risperidone injection so you don’t have to take oral pills everyday” and that’s all.

They don’t even told me that risperidone it’s an antiosychotic because if they did i would ask them “why are you giving me antipsychotic injection if i never had psychosis?”

They acted like i had a master on pharmaceutical and i already know what that was, in fact it happen very frequently that they act like that: hiding what the medication is, and his side effects.

they told me they give me pills to test if I would experience side affects but that is also risky, they should have just warned me straight up on what the side effects would be

now my life is potentially ruined, i really really really don’t want to die, there’s so much to life I wanna experience

Sadly I was told the same thing about the invega injection. They even said it was more beneficial than the tablets because the injection supposedly bypasses the liver. They handed me an information sheet on invega, showing only the benefits of the injection- which all turned out to be horseshit. I went back 5 times to get injected again and its been pure hell since then.

They told me “we have to look at the benefits even if there are some risk” but they never told me any of these risk like i would develop neuroleptic malignant syndrome that can lead to DEATH.

You know, hidding information like that one it’s very concerning and this is a very bad violation of the rights of the patient here in my country. Yeah i sued them because of that and all the others shitty thing they did to me.

I wish I could do the same, but my case is a little different because I was on a CTO and I was court ordered to take. As soon as they ceased it I stopped taking. I was in a genuine psychosis as well and I was in need of a antipsychotic. I've stopped smoking weed now so I think I wont fall into another psychosis. I will say that being in psychosis was easier to manage than the debilitating effects of invega. Three months and no signs of improvement yet unfortunately. I'm pretty suicidal to be honest, but hope as time goes on things will get easier.

I was hitting the gym 6 days at week and could do a lot of things but after these injections i don’t have the energy to do a shit and when i lift some sort of weight or i do maybe just a walk then my muscles hurt for days and it took them like days to recover.
 
Sometimes I just sit there staring at bluelight refreshing the page waiting for people to reply to the thread...
 
I'm listening to music right now and it sounds better than it did a month ago. Maybe my anhedonia is lifting a tiny bit.

Still very far from normal. But not totally flat. Normally I only enjoy music while in a moving car. Im just sitting atm.

I really hope this is not just placebo because I know the drug levels are dropping for me now.
 
According to ChatGPT abilify is easier to recover from than invega. This may be why I have some improvement only 2 months off injections.
 
I think my restlessness is lessening, idk if it’s because I feel too fatigued to do anything

I have able to handle my urges
 
Fuck them for what they did to all of us. and fuck to the health care system that instead of helping us and find a way to at least speed up the recovery they just abandon us into that misery.

And fuck toxic family who instead of support,humanity and love always act against us in a toxic way like “this is your menta illness, or, you were like that already before these injections, or, i’ts not the medication you took”.

This experience show me the real face of psychiatry, the real face of health care system in general, and the true face of my family.

Even if I Will make a 100% recovery i will never be the same, because this experience opened my eyes about a lot of things and in the future i will know if someone love me or want to help me or take care of me or if it’s Just an asshole who want to take advantage over me or want to hurt me.
