Is St. John's Wort really effective?

As far as I know, it doesn't even eliminate Invega from the body.

I understand this thread was created decades ago. If there's still no solution, why are we even bothering to post on this forum?



Is there really no one who knows a solution?
 
Went and seen my GP today and discussed medical weight loss… I was hoping she would prescribe me duromine but she didn’t lol. Instead she gave me a prescription for contrave/ bupropion. Anyone here had bupropion/wellbutrin/zyban before? I pick up my script in 3 days, shit was expensive af

Why do you need drug induced weight loss? Do you feel you have lost the stamina to exercise that you had before invega? I am asking because i no longer have the stamina or strength to exercise that i had before invega myself. I really need to find out of others feel the same and if our abilities ever come back?

Life teached me that not even being normal and healthy it’s a guaranted thing.. Life had already teached me what loniless was, what “non-corrispondent love” was, what sadness and hopeless was, what seeing my dream fading away and my nightmares became true was.. Then life teached me what losing myself is..

Honestly my logic is that if my weight gain was from medication then medical weight loss to help lose it makes sense… I kept gaining weight on invega even with regular exercise, small food portions and a meal replacement shake once a day. I tried fasting and light exercise early on too and that made no difference either just ran me down more than I already was and made my anxiety worse. I definitely don’t have the energy to be active like I used to be beforehand, it’s like I’m mentally motivated but physically exhausted before I even start

people post here for support and community. unfortunately there is no other solution, it’s just a waiting game.
 
I told my mental health worker this:

i feel like I am not being taken seriously, i am 100% sure how I am feeling is the result of the injections, if this is going to get blamed on depression or whatever else then I am just going to leave the service, I don’t feel like anyone can help with this

I trusted the medical professionals and never knew I would get these severe side effects, no one warned me on what kind of side effects this would cause or gave me more information about the injection

my life is now ruined and worse than before, so great

my quality of life went from 8 to a 1

so fast

this is what they said:

I think we have discussed it at length and have even met weekly to discuss the effects of the injection you were given in October. We are taking your concerns seriously and have discontinued your injection. Highlighting that your mood has been affected by this and that you'd benefit from an increase in your antidepressant isn't with the intention to minimise your concerns - it is possible that your mood has been affected and that you'd benefit from an increased dose. There are a few things we have to consider when formulating treatment plans and, where possible, optimise all treatments you're on prior to introducing new medication. I'm very sorry that you feel this way and that you've suffered what you're describing as a decrease in your quality of life. It's important that we now think of ways to improve things for you.
 
I don't get people looking for help in doctors, they made you disable with the injection, you think they are going to help you. They help themselves and the drug companies.
