Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v11

Status
Not open for further replies.
Today marks 7 months of my last injection in march 27th . I had two injections of invega sustenna in deltoid muscle , 150mg and 100mg after 7 days. Not much has changed but sometimes I can feel anger , also very rarely i can have a laugh at something but thats exceptionally rare because i can count only two occasions when i could laugh. I never lost the ability to cry so I can cry since the beginning of this, crying and feeling suicidal doesnt help much. I can watch a tv show. My hygiene is still very poor. I still lay down in bed a lot. I gained 15 kilos and havent lost any weight . Zero motivation, energy , no feeling of music, sexual dysfunction still the same. My sister fell sick and got hospitalized so i had to take a flight to UK and I am here for 10 more days. I was thinking if I do a keto diet or water fast for multiple days would that help or not? Chatgpt says a prolonged water fast can even make recovery period longer. But wanted to know if anyone tried a water fast here to heal. I am losing all my hope and counting my days till next March. If i dont heal within the one year mark I might just suicide. But I really hope Allah heals me and shows me a miracle so that I dont have to suicide.

@roofmaan1 what things have recovered for you? Its been more than 20months for you right? Did you recover emotions? Feeling of music? Has sexual libido returned? Please share what aspects have recovered for you.
 
Hi guys, I wrote this on my phone so sorry for the word spaghetti. I posted an update about month 7, detailing how things have gotten better. But month 8 and a week is really where I have found success. In fact I feel so great, I will no longer come back here or post here unless I go into psychosis.
Background info: I'd say I have I was born very high IQ. I was given 5 shots of invega 8 months ago. I have never had hallucinations, thoughts or voices that weren't my own or anything like that. The invega dropped my IQ by a minimum of 40 points.
Okay, I will describe my experience as so (especially over the past week) In the simplest terms, the complete opposite of coming ONto the invega, to the point where I feel 100% recovered. I sleep less. I eat less. But I feel better. My mind is sharp, thinking constantly. I have my midas touch back, as in, the past week I have picked up chess and guitar and have already gotten pretty decent at both, I am the GOAT at FPS shooters again too. I have perfect pitch again now, something invega took away too. I feel naturally happy. I feel confident. Everyone (coworkers, friends, household) around me has noticed a massive change. It feels like I have finally woken up from a deep sleep. I simply perceive more information and think more about it than what I was capable on the invega. Now the negatives, again I haven't really been hungry and sleep has been hard. My mind's eye (imagination) is so powerful, it can overtake my attention to the real world now. But I put that down to being high IQ. I wouldn't say I feel mentally unstable but rather the blockage that has cleared was very effective at killing higher order thinking, and now my brain is relying on itself to keep it healthy, so instead of a random drug keeping me sane it's up to me. The only thing I worry about is dopamine supersensitivity ie my dopamine system continues to get even more sensitive due to the invega withdrawals and I lose my mind (that I believe I have never lost), if that happens I will come back with an update. And guys, please don't kill yourself, I honestly love being alive, this past week has made all of my suffering and pain worth it, you COULD be 5 years from recovery, or you COULD BE 1 day!!! You don't know! I sure as hell did not think two weeks ago that my life would suddenly and immediately get better.

Side note: I have not been given much in life and I have had it pretty tough and rough. But I believe the universe has given me the strength to get through this, through all the tough and bad. I will rise above this all. I encourage you all to do the same and focus everyday on giving life 100% of your effort, you will be rewarded the same way I have been. I feel obligated to you all in the same situation AMA and I'll check back in 24 hrs (then I will never come back).

I forgot to mention the weed. Weed is still less strong but I get most of the effects now. I actually have completely stopped smoking again as the way it makes me feel after it's worn off (dumb) is extremely similar to the invega, I feel munted.
 
I have one variable: I was prescribed Invega Sustenna, and three months later, I was prescribed Abilify Maintena 400mg.

I am currently receiving the Abilify Maintena injection. Does this mean my recovery will be slower or impossible?

Thankyou for posting

So, it may take 9 months for someone with psycbosis (his brain tend to produce way more dopamine than a regular one) and it may take 18 months for someone who never had psychosis? It make sense? Since from what I understood people who had psychosis tend to recover in 9-12 months instead people who got misdiagnosed take the double of the time

Im not sure bro to be honest.

@paranoid android healed from invega and abilify given one after the other. So not impossible to heal.
 
i igot pur on a community treatment order so i'm on the paliperidone injection for 12 months 50mg maintenance.

it speeds up my tolerance with weed, i am pretty out of it for the first few days, i respond well to it but i'd rather switch to seroquel after the taper to try that instead.

Did you have no windows of recovery at all? Periods where you felt better?

COngratulations on your recovery. would you remember the dosages of your shots? If i understand correctly, You had sudden recovery by month 8 and a week? Did you exercise or do something that caused your recovery?
 
My prolactin levels are back to normal, but my testosterone and estrogen have plummeted - anyone know why this is/what it indicates about recovery?
