did you slowly notice improvements while recovering from invega or do anything to speed up that process

I ate carnivore diet and drank raw milk which I believe helped me heal. I didn't notice improvements till month 6. Then gradually over the next 3 months I got better.

The original thread on coming off of Invega Sustenna was started 12 years ago this month by @Narshe81 who also posted to Reddit and other online discussion platforms such as the following: https://rxchat.com/Discuss/Coming-off-Invega-Sustenna-256237_s3.htm For some reason, their thread here on Bluelight is the one that took off and attracted the most participants/traffic over the years. But I now think there must be something wrong with this platform (Bluelight), and that could explain why more action has not been taken against this dangerous drug after so many years of people getting harmed by it. Why harmed patients have not organized to stop this from continuing to happen.

I.e., the moderators here have a history of banning users for expressing how badly they are suffering from Invega injections, when it really cannot be overstated. There also seems to be a culture that grew here of normalizing this experience, there is unproven made-up info that is repeated and accepted as real too, like the half-lives thing. There are probably fake accounts on here paid by the drug company to post false stories or otherwise clog up the threads, discredit us or minimize this experience, who knows.

I don't even know what this discussion is doing on a website that is mainly for recreational drug experiences, except that many of us got injected because of drug-induced psychoses. But the moderators are heavy drug users, who are now chiming in claiming that they also took Invega and know what it's like, but then don't take this discussion as seriously as they should if that is the case, if they know what we're going through (doubt). Why is this sensitive topic being moderated here by them, I don't know


I agree 100%.
A lot of people don't feel safe to express the truth of their experience on here, it's discouraged.

The users discussing video games could let each other know over DMs or somewhere private, we don't all need to hear you go back and forth about your video game schedule. It's off-topic, just clogs up the thread and trivializes an extremely important (literally life-or-death) issue. The moderators seem to encourage this, though.

Will message in DMs from now on. Wasn't thinking.
 
I'm just 3 month and 6 days, i think i might be starting to feel a bit better. I don't feel like they shot me in the brain. But i feel like i was hit by car in the head lol. I hope i will get my emotion's and feeling soon.
Today i feel i can accept my prison sentence of invega, just try to pass the time, eat sushi, walk around, music, what els can i do.

I just returned to my home country from UK today. My mother doesn’t address the severity of the problems I am going through because of invega. My loss of emotions or anhedonia or sexual dysfunction she addresses none of it , the shit mother she is. She is just concerned that I havent got any periods in last 7 months ( last period on April 11th) and that I gained a lot of weight (15 kgs) . She keeps on blaming and fatshaming me constantly. So, my mother is forcing me to see a gynaecologist and start some hormone medication for withdrawal bleeding and inducing period. Is that safe after invega? I am scared to even take any hormones now. @InvegaAnon did you miss periods in the beginning? When did they return? Did any female take hormones to get back period?

how many dosages did you have?
Click to expand...
Initially, I was prescribed 234mg, and the second time, I was prescribed 100mg.

In my opinion, the number of injections received seems more important than the dosage.

I received a total of two injections and discontinued further injections afterward.
 
Day 99
I think I reach acceptance stage, i know it's really hard but i must adopt a positive mindset to turn out success.
Days are getting easier, it's starting to feel more sluggish less hellish.
Hope by month 4 i would feel better

What was your dosage and number of injections?
 
People who have showed no signs of recovery after a long time, Can you please share your symptoms? @RisperdalConsta50mg and @rawbanana and others, can you share your symptoms. What are your energy levels, sexual function, motivation, apetite, cognition, sleep, emotions, and other things like at this point?

This may be a repeat question but i want to know what aspects of their symptoms have recovered and what remains?

What’s so wrong with people talking here to meet up in a game? Isn’t the point of this forum community? Everyone brings up brokenself as a gotcha, and no one should feel that they have to end their life, speaking as someone who also wanted to end their life, but also it seems some people just want to complain and not want to put any effort into their recovery, which is more than just being injected, it’s trauma from the hospital or psychosis or even just their personal lives. No one even mentions that brokenself was sending people gore in dms before they left us. Suicide is such a permanent thing and awful for the people in your lives we shouldn’t be putting people down for trying to distract their pain.

He didn’t send gore. Tonychopper was overreacting as usual. He sent me the same video and there was no gore. That Tonychopper guy is just weird.

No clue why you’d even bring that up anyway like it’s even relevant. So what if he did send gore anyway? Does that mean his life has less value?

I agree with ixi- this forum should be more about taking action and organizing against those monsters but most people here are complacent and act like it’s no big deal when it is a huge deal.

The mod on this forum constantly repeats the same shit like it’s off a script. There are countless people who don’t recover. And we should be talking about them and the lives lost. Ixi is basically the only person here who’s suggested taking any sort of action.

Most people here just constantly ask the same questions and obsess over details, others obsess over supplements and all this snake oil type shit to get better. No one’s actually doing anything to fight these fuckers. And to cast aside people who literally die is so shameful. Fuck you for that.
 
Been 11 months for me and I’m just getting worse. People act like you recover after a year. There’s no way. I don’t know what the fuck happened to my brain.

Everyone talks about dopamine but when you google the mechanism of action of Invega it just says that it is unknown but it is hypothesized that it affects dopamine and serotonin. But the truth is it does countless other things to the body. We have no idea what it really does.

They don’t do any research on the long term consequences of these drugs and continue develop technology to make it last forever because they can and it makes them billions of dollars.

And then there are people here who talk about video games and other pointless shit. There should be a focus on people’s whose lives get destroyed because of these chemicals.

And you know, when these people commit suicide the cause of death is always recorded as their diagnosis and not the medication. Any criticism of these practices just gets silenced. I hate the rhetoric that suicide is just sad for the people who knew the person. It’s saddest for the person who died because they lost their future, their dreams, their ambitions, everything. They were driven to that point and their life was suffering. It’s just fucking sad.

I was messaging brokenself on discord as he ingested the sodium nitrite I was there when he died and I listened to him talk about his pain for weeks before he died.

I agree with everything you said, except the motive for injecting can be other than money, often a sadistic reason and envy like i think happened in my case.

Most of people, according to data, show signs of recovery between month 6 to 12. But, data also shows recovery times upto 14 months, 16 months, 2 years, and 3 years in case of a 55 year old i spoke to. I hope you start to see the signs of recovery soon. What is the paliperidone level in your blood at this time? What are your symptoms at this point?

From what I understood by my last knowledges this was some chemical torture created by the nazis inside their concentration camps and it’s designed to cause sufference and agony, not to cure any mental issue.

Then after the germans were defeated and the usa bring almost all scientists into their country under the “paperclip operation” they discovered all the germans research and after a while some pharmaceuticals commercialized this new chemical substance as a medicine to threat mental illness.

If are you asking yourself why you are not recovering maybe this is the answer, they gave you chemical torture designed by nazis, not a medicine.

My period (luckily) wasn’t affected by invega but when I stopped the injections my cycle got thrown out of whack and took a couple of months to balance back out to normal. Sorry your mum is blaming you/ fat shaming you… that’s messed up. I think getting some tests done on your hormones levels to check if they are out of whack is a good idea and if there’s anything you can take to fix it then that’s a good thing. Good luck.
