Coming off Invega/Xeplion (paliperidone) injections v11

[anonymoususer777]

man i really hope you recover, what happened to you completely changed my image of Switzerland, I used to want to live there

I do think that psychiatry and mental health system has prejudiced and sadistic people and in certain countries, such people actively seek such positions because it legitimizes the worst kind of abuse. And they can hide behind the phrase that "we were trying to help you". There is not the slightest doubt in my mind that Scott the Canadian guy was knowingly sending me to my destruction and he knew he could get away with it. His behavior during the first and second injection were both suspect. The psychiatrist was also not lettingme free without an injection, despite me repeating that there was no issue and he was misunderstanding me. I will not see these people the same way again. Horror movie of a society.

It’s like a spider web, even if you wrongly pass aside of it you just got trapped into it and you won’t be able to freed yourself until the black widow come after you and inject you with his poison.

Psychiatry approached me because i had 2 lungs surgery in a row and my girlfriend break up with me while i was still in the hospital bed so i was not at the peak of my happiness.

That lead to a chain-effect that lead me being injected.

I ended upin their web in a similar way. I have autism and was going through a very painful timein life. O wanted to speak to someone and they brought me infront of psychiatrists. Now if i commit suicide , scott and others will.claim that i always was mentally ill. Nazis were probably less sadistic than scott and other people i encountered in the mental health system.

Don’t be ridiculous, this happens everywhere in democratic countries. Just because @RisperdalConsta50mg got injected in Switzerland it doesn’t effect the legitimacy of wanting to live there.

The truth is simply if you aren’t getting admitted to IVC or meeting a psychiatrist in the first place the chances of getting shot up with Invega are practical zero.

the problem is that Switzerland is not America, it’s top 5 country, if psychiatric abuse is happening there to this level then we are fucked, hard to view the world the same as before

 

[anonymoususer777]

Being autistic, i can testify that the world is a horror movie. I have nothing but hatred for people after this invega experience. Its just different degrees of hate for different groups of people based on the patterns of evil they showed me. They are unapologetically evil and abusive, and yet they expect you to greet and respect them.

Is it normal that I have not had any hint of improvement 4.5 months off. I’m exercising, taking supplements, walking daily but no success. For those in the later months in recovery- did you notice no changes at 4-4.5 months off?

you still feel exactly the same as the beginning with the same symptoms? do you feel like you are sedated and can’t do anything else?

I didn’t get the sedation aspect from Invega, more mental distress. I walk a lot to help deal with it. But yes I feel the same as I did in the beginning and I’m petrified of what is to come. I’m hoping by month 5 I can get some alleviation as this is hell right now.

what are all your symptoms at the moment, can you enjoy music?

 

[lukeflowz]

Anhedonia
Mental distress
Akathisia “not pacing as much but (inner restlessness, still persists.
Severe anxiety
Depression
Suicidal ideation.
Dystonia
Restless leg

Im taking supplements, walking daily to trying to combat this but no success. Im hoping by month 5 I’ll get some alleviation.

No I can’t enjoy or feel music at all.

Are all bodily functions expected to reach baseline? I was a long distance runner with a very low resting heart rate, right now i cant even climb the stairs without running out of breath.

Except @silenthill , i have seen no runner regain their athletic ability after invega. I know cases where promising runners completely lost the ability and developed metabolic syndrome.

My resting heart rate used to be low 40s and is now 80.

I ran 3 miles today and had less discomfort, but still some lingering tendon issues.

Trying acupuncture again tomorrow. I really think acupuncture can help with inflammation caused by these injections.

Praying these metabolic symptoms like larger waistline aren’t permanent. I’m hoping health indicators start improving as I start ramping up mileage.

It’s a good sign that you can exercise this early. I only just started finding the motivation at 6 months. Is anhedonia your main symptoms? Cognitive issues?

I more walk to ease the restlessness but for exercising as well. I forgot to mention the cognitive issues. I have lost potentially 20 IQ points or so. I can’t follow movie plots anymore or read books. I used to be an avid reader, but now I can’t absorb information. The energy levels that I have are identical to when I had the injections. No improvements with energy, but I never lost it. I did lose interest in going to the gym and I tried to rekindle that relationship with the gym a few months ago but was unsuccessful. Walking is my main exercise now.

I also used to be an avid reader but haven’t yet resumed.

Cognitive issues persist for me but are much better than a few months ago. It’s mainly working memory that I notice a deficit with. I’m taking a neuropsychological exam in a few weeks that I can compare to a prior exam to see how much working memory and processing speed have been impaired. I’m hoping it’s nothing material.

Anhedonia is better but I’m still somewhat flat. I can follow TV shows, but still get bored too quickly due to the anhedonia. I couldn’t follow TV shows at all for the first few months.

Motivation has improved but is nowhere near pre-injection levels.

I miss feeling pleasure from activities. Hopefully running will reignite my love of life.

So your energy levels were never impacted by the injections? It’s great that you’re walking. Right after the injections I was so sedated that I slept 14 hours a day, drooled, and had difficulty walking.

this is me; I feel incredibly sedated after the injections, drooled etc thankfully that went way, how long did it last for you?

17.5 months - Not recovered.

Hopefully you can get that PET scan. You may get some answers. This sucks man, these injections have ruined us. You may be able to get a dopamine agonist if you have a lack of dopamine firing.

I will get some news the incoming week, if they want to give me these exams it’s good, if not i just go back to my home and keep hoping for a recovery by months 24.

With invega, motivation is said to be one of the last things to return. I still have no motivation to run or exercise.

I too think that if i can return to running than i can heal from invega much quicker. I had my resting pulse rate in the 30s but now its in 50s. I also feel no endorphins when i do run. I also think the drug blocking dopamine and other chemicals may be the reason for a reduced ability to run and exercise.

Have you noticed any improvement in 7 months ? I have found month 4 harder than all the other months. It’s like my akathisia has came back.
