4 days till its out. I hope it's fun I need a distraction.

I was thinking about waiting till Black Friday/Cyber Monday to purchase it but I think I’ll go ahead and just get it on release date. I may change my mind and end up getting it 2 weeks later though
 
Because i keep complaining about the sympthoms these injection left me even after almost 16 months and i keept asking for help to doctors, i got a call from a psychiatrist now, that one who i got in contact during this summer to find out if he can help me restore the receptors imbalance they did to me with these injections.

So basically they called a psychiatrist because i keep complaining about the agony these injections left me into, so we had a call where i was direct but calm where i explained to him that i’am not stupid and I have did the “home work” aka research and now i have a level of knowledge of what these injection do to the brain and why i have all my sympthoms.

I told him “listen, i’am fully aware of what happened to me and why i have these sympthoms, so if you want to push up my serotonine,dopamine, alfa 1, alfa 2, GABA and norandrenaline even with off-label drugs i’am open to that and it’s exactly what i’am asking since 16 months” and he told me just come to the appointment i give you now and we talk about that.

Basically they send a psychiatrist to me because instead of suffering in agony in silence without bothering noone, i just keept asking for help. Crazy.
 
I think i had my first good day today, i went to shopping, eat nice food, and went to the dentist. Usually i just sit at the bed 24/7, so that was eventful day for me.

Things slowly came back fr me like that as well. Lifting weights has really helped me as well. started lifting when the symptoms from the invega and abilify went away.

I started smoking cigarettes again, they help calm my mind. A distraction.

Man out of every drug i have tried i regret cigs the most. They are by far the most addictive drug out there yet you can buy them at any store. As someone who has been through fentanyl withdrawal i would rather fent wd over nicotine wd. I smoke 2 packs a day and et terrible wd symptoms if i stop. I am afraid of getting emphysema or COPD or some shit. Look at what happened with David Lynch earlier the year

I was even thinking about trying ibogaine to quit cigs. But apparently theres a risk that you can de f you take them with opiates so thats me out i guess

@paranoid android Went to the doctor today, my testosterone is abnormally low, prolactin went back to normal. Doctor said if the testosterone does not go back up naturally than i might become dependant on external source for the rest of my life.

As of right now my libido has slightly improved, sexual function is almost dead, cannot excercise or run anymore and motivation is still low.
I am 45 yrs old right now, 5 months off invega. Doctor said i probably may not be at the same level of athleticism or health as i was before i was injected with invega but he wasnt sure. What do you think? Am i likely or unlikely to recover?

My test was abnormally low as well and i blame the invega and abilify. That shit tanks your test levels. I went on TRT as soon as my doctor brought it up as i have nothing against taking it. One of the best decisions of my life honestly as i feel like a teenager again i have s much energy. BUT you have to be in it for the long haul. I have no intensions of ever coming off test realy. I donr get any side effects so im lucky. Some people dot react that well to test but im lucky. I was worried sbout hair loss but so far no hair loss at all.

There are ways to boost your test naturally though and you may be better off trying these first. My brother takes a supplement called shilajit that boosts test levels. I think thats what it 's called. Also there are many others that do that as well.. Also lifting heavy by doing low reps and alot of weight naturally boosts your test levels.

@paranoid android what were your testosterone levels? as i was very healthy before invega, you think there is a chance that my testosterone will go back up normally and i wont rely on testosterone injections? Is there anything else causing my symptoms besides the low testosterone as invegablocks a lot of things in your brain as well.

I forget my levels but they where really low. I was at the time lifting weights but found it hard to put on muscle. Now bi know why it was hard to put on muscle.

Are you off invega now? You may recover without test you can always try the natural way anyway. TRT is kinda life long thing so you gotta think about t for awile. For me it was great but i actually know a guy who had to stop taking it and he started getting the roid rage. He was only on the gell as well. so ya he was done with TRT

When i was coming off the abilify (i had been on invega 3 months prior) i had a theory that the invega and ablify where lowering my dopamine levels. So for me this means to try to counteract it with IV coke. This did not work and i had a seizure. Well possibly more then one cause im dumb.ii

I still use opiates but am not addicted thankfully. They also boost dopamine

What was your dosage for invega again? Do you think your testosterone could have recovered naturally if you werent on opiates?

Maybe he can help you. I really hope they don't do to you what they did to you before. Also when are you seeing him
 
I’m doing what I can to pass the time, as I still feel the effects of invega. Recently I’ve started watching movies again as a distraction and it seems to be working somewhat. I think it’s just a waiting game for the most part—waiting for this poison to leave your body. Hopefully my akathisia will ease soon, as this will make it easier to suffer. I’m approaching the third month now off my injections. Hopefully the first three months are the hardest and it gets a little easier soon. Has anybody passed the three month mark, feeling a little better?

OMG I had bruuuutal akathesia (restlessness) for a year on Invega. it took 6 months off of everything to go away. Then, during my second hospitalization, I was again forced to take an anti-psychotic injection, and went on Haldol, which had bad restlessness but not as bad as invega. Then I called a review of my case and they let me off the involuntary meds thing. So i took olanzapine pills for a year, and gained tons of weight.

Schizophrenia is Hell. I know it's the drugs that pushed it over the edge, the doctors said so, but i also believe some evil entities were involved...

Hey there. Did you recover completely from invega? Also how do you feel nowadays on olanzapine. I take 10mg at night at the moment and it seems to help, especially surrounding assisting me to sleep as invega caused me insomnia.
 
I did recover completely from Invega. Are you being forced to take your meds?

I feel alright on my meds, but I'm switching from olanzapine to Latuda, because of the weight gain. I hope i lose the weight! :S
