Did anybody tried taking Vyvanse on month 4-6 and did it help him?

I have restarted Vyvanse but it’s not as effective as it was pre-injections. My doctor said I may need a higher dose now. I’m hoping this is temporary and my old dose will start working again. Do you take Vyvanse / did you pre-injections?

I’am there since 16 months so i feel you but I don’t know how to help myself neither you.. I try my best with searching help from doctors even from university hospital but it’s like they don’t want that the truth came out..

Have you consulted an integrative psychiatrist? Ketamine therapy is something I’m looking into, anhedonia may be due to some disruption in the glutamate system and ketamine seems promising. Very expensive though.

I will go with Valium 10mg for some days just because i need a break from insomnia and i have to restore my sleep, then I Will go with reagila 2.5mg by Tomorrow and I Will Watch what happen, it push a little bit dopamine but it still block serotonine, but I want to try what happen, if it dosen’t help me will immediately quit..
 
Invega makes my body heat up a lot more than usual which makes exercise and physical endeavour very hard. The body heating up also makes the sumptoms of invega worse. I would like to ask @Invegatorture, @paranoid android and others who recovered from invega, did you face the same issue and did it stop. I want to get back to exercising and running but the body constantly heating up has almost killed it. Does thisgo away? , if yes, when? Who else here is facing the same issue?

Invega and technically any anttocholinergic can do that. So if you exercise drink lots of water thats what i do

Meh it’s no big deal, us talking about the video games in the thread opens up more people to potentially join us. By playing video games together we’re enhancing and strengthening this community that’s obviously deeply fragmented and fragile.

People want this space to be safe, open, and meant for recovery/development of recovery. But when people take the time to strengthen the safety and openness of said community they have a problem. If you truly/honestly believe the purpose of this community is to voice complaints and get help, why wouldn’t people getting help by communicating and interacting with each other offend someone?


Also, have you seen the masses of people saying BO7 is trash. I’ve been following it online.

What month are you? What effect do you feel? I used to take it
 
We HAVE to start a movement to bring public attention to how invega and other antipsychotics are ruining lives. It might be possible to contact psychologists or psychiatrists who are empathatic towards people like us and realize the severity of these drugs.

I have a question! If we stop taking invega and our dopamine receptors are unblocked, why some people can't get high or drunk?

Long term use of antipsychotics causes irreversible harm to the dopamine system. Taking a single injection is like taking the pill every day for many many months.

Over time, permanent changes are made to your brains structure

The receptors dont get unblocked right away. In case of invega sustenna or trinza, it takes 5 to 7 half lives for the drug to exit the body. I heard a theory that even after invega levels get lower in the body, it takes time for receptors to adjust but i dont know how that works. Perhaps someone with more knowledge on the science behind it can explain

long term use is considered to be taking the drug for more than 1 year. What is the source of what you are saying and that the changes are irreversible? I am not disputing you, i want to find out where you got that information from. Unless it is personal opinion,if it is personal opinion than what is the opinion based on? Is it based on observing people who recovered from the injections?

One injection is basically like being on the pill for a year. It’s stored in a reservoir/depot and releases slowly over the course of a year at least.

And just google “antipsychotics grey matter” and it’ll talk about the shrinking of the brain and other info

I have not. I only watch pro cod youtubers so their opinion on the game is positive. I've enjoyed it quite a lot so far.

We have only messaged about this a few times and people be overeacting. Tbh it's put me off posting here. They forget we got injected ourselves and want a distraction.

Is the damage completely irreversible?
 
anonymoususer777 said:
@Invegatorture and @paranoid android and others who recovered from invega. Did you suffer cognitive difficulties and memory problems during recovery from invega and did you recover from it? @Trueart2 does the invegadoc show that people recover cognitively from invega?

I agree as well, I don't think you should talk privately, to encourage others who are interested to join; I would've joined you guys gaming if it wasn't for the timezone/ping and the bad reviews of bo7. Gaming together brings a sense of community and distracts us from the pain this injection has caused.
