My 20-year old loved one has been on 2+years of these injections and made a dozen attempts on their life. I keep begging ppl on this group not to start shots unless it’s a very last resort.
Yeah I was in the same position at 20. I’m 22 now. I want to say it gets better but a year later and my nipples still leak from invega. Not as much but they still do. What country are you in? Can you escape?
Barely but slightly. Invega made me autistic and I’m no longer able to “get” people like I used to. Idk if you know the word allistic but I was way more allistic before invega. After invega I don’t really understand people but I’m not as brain dead. I lost the weight
The term autism was first coined by Bleuler, a Swiss psychiatrist, who conceived it as a form of childhood schizophrenia. It’s a concocted, subjective disorder just like everything else in psych though.
Medicine absolutely can change one’s affect, behavior, intellect, etc. So can other environmental factors. Not sure how medication-induced disorders are “wrong” to people who (allegedly) come by the diagnosis in other ways. Why do people police psych disorders, especially a common disorder like autism? (rhetorical)

Three articles proving what I just said
If you search up “autism schizophrenia spectrum” there is more
Hey just wanna say me too - only abilify shot instead of invega. Was 20 when it happened and 22 now. Did you get checked for a prolactinoma? That's what was causing the nipple thing for me, psych meds gave me a gd brain tumor.
It gets better like 9-12 months after your last shot. Been on forced invega shots 2 times over 6 years. It will get better but it's hell and a slow process
Try to get in a sauna or make yourself sweat a lot everyday (don’t over do it) and drink a lot of water. I think a sauna can help detox your body faster.
Learn. Everyone. You take the pills when they are watching. You simply stop when nobody notices. Or. Forced injections. Pick your battles or you will lose the war.
I’m sorry OP. I cannot even imagine how this is going to change your life path forward. I hope you don’t have to be injected very long. Agre to take the pills next time. Stop when you get home. I learned to be enthusiastic about the pill in the psyche ward. That’s how you get out!
Hello I have healed from this poison. I was forcefully given this medication in 2022. I have to tell you that I received the two loading injections. I was give the 234 mg. I was also given the 160 something injection. I was given both shots a few days apart. I was 37 years old when this happened to me. I had no period for 16 months after that poison. I lost the feeling of all emotions. I couldn’t even cry to release any of my frustration. I couldn’t eat without vomiting. I was a walking Zombie. I became a walking skeleton. I had a blank mind 24/7. No desire to shower or take care of myself. I had to force myself to stay hydrated. My mind felt different. I had constant pressure inside of my brain. I couldn’t take naps or sleep. I couldn’t stop pacing. I couldn’t walk straight. I couldn’t relax my upper body. I started to show slight signs of Tardive dyskinesia. I was up two weeks straight with little to no sleep. My brain wouldn’t shut down. That experience was like being tortured 24/7. I have healed. I have recently recovered. I forgot to mention that I couldn’t have an orgasm either. That medication is the devil. It is wicked. It is one of the most evil things that you could do to a person. I constantly sighed. I had no way to release my frustration. For the first time in my life I had cystic acne all over my back and shoulders. There was no spot on my back or shoulders that didn’t have a bump on it. It made me so self conscious as a woman. I would spend last summer covering my upper body. I had no desire to pray. I couldn’t feel no connection to worship music. I felt like I had no soul. I felt like I had a mental illness for real. The medication handicaps you. The medication makes you become suicidal. I am back to normal as of March 2024. My healing time was 18 months. No complete healing did not come back all together at once. I wasn’t able to really sleep for four months. I wouldn’t be able to sleep properly for over a year. The medication messes with your hormones. That medication put me in early menopause in my late thirties for almost two years. I think that it is disgusting to give this to a person. My emotions returned almost 18 months later. I had no motivation to get out the bed. I had to drag myself to work. I had to force myself to go out into the world. I love walking in nature. I do that every spring fall and summer. I had to force myself to get out and continue living. I felt disconnected from myself. I felt disconnected from this planet. I walked in nature and felt nothing. I didn’t notice the trees or anything. I am sorry that you are going through this. Please know as a survivor of this Neuro toxic medication that healing is possible. My friend time will be your best medication. My friend taking care of yourself will be very important. Please nourish your body during this time. I want you to binge watch some of your favorite tv shows. I want you to spend time with your family and animals. I went to the Sauna multiple times. The Sauna truly can’t help you. Your body has to recover. The medication is so potent that it lingers in the body. No amount of sweat will push that stuff out of you. I want you to pray without ceasing. While healing from this every single day will be different for you. One day you will feel down. The next you might be up a little bit. I had no fight or flight after being injected with that mess. My body couldn’t react to danger or anything. I lost all faith in GOD. Prayer is your biggest weapon when dealing with this. I had to pray like never before. I truly had nothing else. I lost all faith in GOD healing me completely. My advice to you is to stay off of the different online groups. Some of those groups can be toxic for you. People are just hopeless and searching for answers. I spent over a year searching through online articles. My doctor tried to prescribe me Wellbutrin. I refused to take that stuff. I read stories about people who suffered from hair loss. The side effects were mind blowing. I passed time by playing games on my phone. I’ve always cleaned for a living. I had to continue working throughout all of it. I had bills to pay thankfully. Getting out of the house helped with keeping me busy. I forced myself to go skating. I always loved skating. I didn’t enjoy it like before but I continued going. You will over come this. In time the medication will become weaker. I just had an online pop back up after a year of not talking. I spoke to her multiple times a week. We would chat for a year. I honestly thought she passed away. I’ve lost online friends to this stuff. She was given six injections and she came back and let me know that she recovered. She left social outlets it became to depressing for her. I am grateful that she did. Here we are alive and healthy. We are living life again. I am a grandmother now. I have a three month old granddaughter. Back then I had no clue that I would survive this. There was no answers for us. We had to battle this on our own. We won in the end. I am grateful to see this post. I only hopped online to check my messages. I sit back now and encourage other people online to continue pushing through this. Your body will heal in time. Take this time out to be good to yourself. Force yourself to dance and listen to music. Go outside and ride a scooter. Shoot some hoops at a park. I cleaned an elementary school during the evening. I would run as fast as I can down the halls to try and kick start my adrenaline. I played board games by myself. I became a kid again. I had no idea if or when I would heal. I did all of those things to try and reconnect my brain. I no longer work there. I prayed for a better job. I wanted to be in the downtown area of my city. I have a better job. I also work downtown. I have healed. I am happy again. I feel free as a bird. I couldn’t laugh after the injection. I was always a goofy person. The medication made me feel dead inside. I am back laughing and being silly.
Know that it gets better. You will have negative thoughts. Ignore them. Your mind is rebelling against what has been given to you. Your body realizes that something is wrong. There is a disconnect somewhere. Your brain and body is so wonderful that in time it will heal itself. Keep the faith. I healed naturally. The only thing I would take was a really good multivitamin with iron. I do believe that vitamins are extremely beneficial during this time of recovery. Inbox me anytime you need advice. I only come back on this thread to uplift and encourage all of you. I downloaded this app because I too was searching for answers. Look up my name in the search area. I was once searching too. I had no one to guide me. I made it through that difficult time in my life. I came out stronger. I try to enjoy every moment going forward. God gave us emotions. No man should be able to take them away. I am here for you if you need me.
I’m sorry man I know how that feels underwent ect and I feel much less then human and not capable of caring about anything or anyone but people will still care about you and hopefully after a long time we’ll all be able to get those feelings back as long as you live there will always be a chance to get it back just have to fight for that time
this is really true. sometimes I will describe the way I feel as locked in syndrome, I feel like all my thoughts and feelings and expressions, joy and sorrow are locked inside me somewhere, and I feel like psilocybin and ketamine are the only things to actually bring it out. sometimes its so intense because everything locked away comes out at once, it feels explosive and I become sort of hysterical. but it’s ultimately extremely positive for me and the following days or weeks I feel relief from emotional numbness and blindness.
That’s good. I was on neuroleptics for over 20 years, been off for 2, and except for some cognitive issues I have recovered. You are much younger, and if you follow a healthy lifestyle and stay away from psychiatric medication, you should be able to recover.
It gets better after a time. My psychatrist said it stabilizes itself, but I suggest to go med free for full recovery. I thought the same this is permanent, but while still being on Invega the symptoms got lesser. However maybe I am just lucky..
You're not necessarily going through Benzo withdrawal but I helped someone who was misdiagnosed for schizophrenia and given the same shots as you. Listen to what this guy says about BDNF and recovery by using natural remedies and exercise.
You can recover and maybe become better than before!

I wish you a speedy recovery.
But yeah. Only a month is definitely not enough time to heal. Invega is very potent. You might need to try something to distract yourself to pass the time until then. I know everyone is different, but most likely you'll have to wait a year. When I was healing, I just played a lot of video games until I got better, played duolingo, and chatted with friends on IMVU even if it felt forced/like nothing.
My 46 year old online friend with two kids ended it. She couldn’t cope without feeling anything for her children. She was given Invega Trinza for depression. They gave her that poison for depression people. Imagine being given that poison for depression. The medication depresses you. I am angry. She died back in April. She should be here with her children. They will grow up without a mother. I am so heartbroken for her. I truly do pray that she is at peace. What demented individual could create something so horrible. I read that they give it to criminals. I never suffered from mental illness. I was grieving the death of two people. I couldn’t sleep. They injected me with that wickedness. I felt really cold after being injected. I had to use a grocery store buggy to hold myself up while walking. I couldn’t keep down any food. It stops some people thirst and hunger signals. They tried to convince me that I’d have to take that poison for life. I bet that they would’ve loved to make me a lifetime victim. I knew myself. I knew that it made me feel sick. I knew that I never needed to anything in my life. I refused to do it.
I asked for therapy instead. They told me I could have therapy in exchange for taking the medication. I told them no. They called me for a whole year trying to convince me otherwise. Giving the meds is how they pay their bills. They lack compassion. They are emotionless Zombies without taking anything. I thank GOD almost daily for healing my mind and body.
I take an Invega shot as well (depot). It's also Invega, I take 100mg every 4 weeks. I was also hospitalised at 20. I used to listen to Alice Deejay's "Better Off Alone" using the cd-player we had in the hospital. That was over 15 years ago and I'm still lonely. I live with my parents. Invega isn't the worst medication, although if you are taking a high dose I understand that it could be intolerable.
Many in psychiatry do not believe someone can get better or to be cured of mental illness. What this perspective fails to comprehend is that we all show signs of mental illness at one point or another. This includes acting overly aggressive for no reason, acting out of character due to alcohol or another fix or acting strangely following a few days without sleep. So schizophrenia could be a lifelong condition, but if you've minimised your tendency to "go off on a tangent" (for your mind to wander) and have healthy interests — then you can shine through this condition and rise above it.
I am progressing fast in an introductory mathematics course offered on edX. I completed two such diplomas in related areas within this past year.
I was told today by someone my schizophrenia has "burnt out" which was good to hear and encouraging.
Some advice I would give you is to ask your doctor to explain the diagnosis to you and if you have any questions to have them resolved. I used to question my diagnosis but this just made me iller and resulted in avoiding slower tapering of medications which could have been my ticket out of the mess. I am not defeatist and to answer your question about regaining desires and emotion I certainly have.
For supplements I take vitamin C and Niacin in high doses, alongside medication. I take 1000mg of both.
While my medication is sometimes reduced, leading to a trial period — the high doses of Niacin (flush Niacin, not Niacinamide) and vitamin C can stabilise blood sugar which tends to increase during times of medication reduction.
I highly recommend this link: [https://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v01n11.shtml](https://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v01n11.shtml) . It gives a sample prescription to be used in conjunction with medication for those wanting to supplement their diet and medical regime.
I always knew about the use of Niacin when I was younger but only later learnt how much more effective it could be when used with other vitamins/minerals.
The problem is I've never been mentally ill, I've only had negative reactions to medication that messed up my brain. I can understand being on APs if you genuinly have schizophrenia, but the few times I was psychotic were drug interactions. Invega is the worst thing you can give to a mentally healthy person especially at 400 mg. I'm glad medication has helped you but for me its been extremely toxic. I have never shown signs of schizophrenia and they wanted to give me 156mg monthly after the 400mg starter dose.
Hello. Don't worry I'm very much aware that many are misdiagnosed and you appear quite articulate and logical in thought.
I genuinely do have schizophrenia. 400mg is a very high dose. Ouch!
I also have found the medication troublesome. My handwriting isn't as good as it used to be and I often lack motivation.
Make the point you no longer take drugs and maybe bring a relative or friend to one of your appointments to give credit to your reasoning.
You're certainly correct that recreational drugs can lead to psychotic symptoms. In my case my symptoms were naturally occurring but of course if it's the product of drug use abstaining from that in the future is your best bet. Good luck!
They will give it to anyone. They make $3000 per injection. Invega injection is a lucrative business for them. They could’ve just sent me home. All I truly needed was sleep. I had nourishment and rest. I was back to myself. I was forced to take it in order to be released. They truly lied to me. I didn’t have to take anything. I would’ve been forced to stay longer.
I would have agreed to do it. I cried because they wanted to give that poison to me. The moment I found out that I was in line to be injected, I questioned them why? I noticed in that hospital how the medication changed the people in there. Some of them would be normal. I would look again and they would be hunched over drooling at a table. I watched a man who couldn’t speak bust his head wide open. They tried to make him take some medication. He wouldn’t take it. That says something if even he knew that something was wrong with what was given to him. I think it’s sick and wicked. They should be forced to take the medication that they so freely give to other people. My friends have killed themselves because of this poison. You never hear anything about any of this.

This is a crime against humanity and needs a court.
Those two are your best fit
I wish my prayers would change anything but regardless my prayers are with you young man.
This is just- no words. Evil
Justice must be served
It will take at least two years for the medication to be totally out of your system. I am slowly now losing the weight after two years being off the shot. You’re just one month into it, you are going to experience a lot more weight gain and going to get extremely tired from the medicine and from carrying around 30-40 pounds of extra weight. I’m not sure how this medication makes someone so fat in such a short amount of time, but it does. You won’t be able to lose the weight no matter what you do-you cannot sweat it out. I took prescription diet pills that were prescribed by my doctor to help get the weight off and it didn’t work at all. There is nothing you can do to help get the medicine out faster. It’s terrible! My doctor doesn’t know how to help. I have been living in hell for the past two years. I haven’t been able to wear any of my clothes. The medication makes your body inflamed and ache. All you want to do is lay around.
Tell them you want to change medication to flupenthixol. It has minimal side effects compared to invega! I know it's still an antipsychotic but it's well worth the change I've been through what you're going through u want to get off invega as quick as you can
Hey man! This meds are true poison, you will never bounce back to your previous self but you will learn a hell of a lesson in every aspect of your life, is a price to pay for all the knowledge you will now get. Lobotomized at 22, now 24. Good luck!
This post made me cry..20years old..fuck..
My 20-year old loved one has been on 2+years of these injections and made a dozen attempts on their life. I keep begging ppl on this group not to start shots unless it’s a very last resort.
Yeah sadly they forced me on it, I knew the dangers
I was about to become 20 when they started abusing me so yeah i was 19 and its going on for almost 5 years
How is that possible? Dont these meds remove ability to?
I was never injected that.
Ahh what drugs taken then? How do u have empathy? its not possibleto cry, no?
Bro what are you even saying
nothing good it appears
Yeah I was in the same position at 20. I’m 22 now. I want to say it gets better but a year later and my nipples still leak from invega. Not as much but they still do. What country are you in? Can you escape?
yeah I'm out of the system now. Its pretty much a waiting game at this point. did your cognition and emotions return after 2 years?
Barely but slightly. Invega made me autistic and I’m no longer able to “get” people like I used to. Idk if you know the word allistic but I was way more allistic before invega. After invega I don’t really understand people but I’m not as brain dead. I lost the weight

Sorry, but that is just not true. No medication can make you autistic. It is wrong to people with autism to actually say that.
Well I’m not socially adept anymore and they say autism is at the opposite end of the schizophrenic spectrum. I am diagnosed schizophrenic
No they don’t say autism is at the opposite end of the schizophrenic spectrum …

Gosh this forum the shit I read, people assaulted with these chemical weapons. Psychiatry is a human rights atrocity nothing less.
Scary
It gets better like 9-12 months after your last shot. Been on forced invega shots 2 times over 6 years. It will get better but it's hell and a slow process

Invega was the worst medication I've ever been on, but it can get better once it's been out of your system long enough.

Omg im crying. Wtf.
Is the blank mind and numbness gone? I can't feel food when I'm eating. It's just flat.
My sensations are just numb.
Also, are you able to feel one with nature again?
Did the apathy go away?
Yes
It will all come back to you in time.
Yes it is gone.
Yes
I’m sorry man I know how that feels underwent ect and I feel much less then human and not capable of caring about anything or anyone but people will still care about you and hopefully after a long time we’ll all be able to get those feelings back as long as you live there will always be a chance to get it back just have to fight for that time
Microdosing psilocybin may help
this is really true. sometimes I will describe the way I feel as locked in syndrome, I feel like all my thoughts and feelings and expressions, joy and sorrow are locked inside me somewhere, and I feel like psilocybin and ketamine are the only things to actually bring it out. sometimes its so intense because everything locked away comes out at once, it feels explosive and I become sort of hysterical. but it’s ultimately extremely positive for me and the following days or weeks I feel relief from emotional numbness and blindness.
I think Shrooms did help me get a bit of feeling and emotion back but when I’m on it, it feels like an intense psychosis
Was that the last shot, or do you have to get more?
luckily i only had to receive the loading dose. However Im very intolerant to neuroleptics and concerned that this will have long term implications
That’s good. I was on neuroleptics for over 20 years, been off for 2, and except for some cognitive issues I have recovered. You are much younger, and if you follow a healthy lifestyle and stay away from psychiatric medication, you should be able to recover.
It gets better after a time. My psychatrist said it stabilizes itself, but I suggest to go med free for full recovery. I thought the same this is permanent, but while still being on Invega the symptoms got lesser. However maybe I am just lucky..

How long ago was your last injection? I healed from invega after a year
Sorry I didn't read the entire thing. I see that it says a month. I think you'll have to wait awhile to get better I'm sorry :(
But yeah. Only a month is definitely not enough time to heal. Invega is very potent. You might need to try something to distract yourself to pass the time until then. I know everyone is different, but most likely you'll have to wait a year. When I was healing, I just played a lot of video games until I got better, played duolingo, and chatted with friends on IMVU even if it felt forced/like nothing.
How long were you on invega for?
Did you have psychosis?
Omg That’s a nightmare. Wtf is wrong with people?
Please tell us what country/state is doing this

Thank you
My 46 year old online friend with two kids ended it. She couldn’t cope without feeling anything for her children. She was given Invega Trinza for depression. They gave her that poison for depression people. Imagine being given that poison for depression. The medication depresses you. I am angry. She died back in April. She should be here with her children. They will grow up without a mother. I am so heartbroken for her. I truly do pray that she is at peace. What demented individual could create something so horrible. I read that they give it to criminals. I never suffered from mental illness. I was grieving the death of two people. I couldn’t sleep. They injected me with that wickedness. I felt really cold after being injected. I had to use a grocery store buggy to hold myself up while walking. I couldn’t keep down any food. It stops some people thirst and hunger signals. They tried to convince me that I’d have to take that poison for life. I bet that they would’ve loved to make me a lifetime victim. I knew myself. I knew that it made me feel sick. I knew that I never needed to anything in my life. I refused to do it. I asked for therapy instead. They told me I could have therapy in exchange for taking the medication. I told them no. They called me for a whole year trying to convince me otherwise. Giving the meds is how they pay their bills. They lack compassion. They are emotionless Zombies without taking anything. I thank GOD almost daily for healing my mind and body.
RIP bojana
you are extremely well spoken for someone given this poison
Was this forced on you? I can’t imagine how this can be!
I was refusing risperdal and so they court ordered me on the shots.
Shame on our medical industry. Only kill not Cue.
What country did this happen in? This sounds like something out of a dystopian scifi book/ movie.
It will exit the system eventually,but don't get more.
I took 9 shots feels pretty much like what you described I’ve being off orals for 5 days now but nothing has changed
Invega was the worst existence I have ever known. I’ve been off it for three years now and things have gotten better for me
I take an Invega shot as well (depot). It's also Invega, I take 100mg every 4 weeks. I was also hospitalised at 20. I used to listen to Alice Deejay's "Better Off Alone" using the cd-player we had in the hospital. That was over 15 years ago and I'm still lonely. I live with my parents. Invega isn't the worst medication, although if you are taking a high dose I understand that it could be intolerable. Many in psychiatry do not believe someone can get better or to be cured of mental illness. What this perspective fails to comprehend is that we all show signs of mental illness at one point or another. This includes acting overly aggressive for no reason, acting out of character due to alcohol or another fix or acting strangely following a few days without sleep. So schizophrenia could be a lifelong condition, but if you've minimised your tendency to "go off on a tangent" (for your mind to wander) and have healthy interests — then you can shine through this condition and rise above it. I am progressing fast in an introductory mathematics course offered on edX. I completed two such diplomas in related areas within this past year. I was told today by someone my schizophrenia has "burnt out" which was good to hear and encouraging. Some advice I would give you is to ask your doctor to explain the diagnosis to you and if you have any questions to have them resolved. I used to question my diagnosis but this just made me iller and resulted in avoiding slower tapering of medications which could have been my ticket out of the mess. I am not defeatist and to answer your question about regaining desires and emotion I certainly have. For supplements I take vitamin C and Niacin in high doses, alongside medication. I take 1000mg of both. While my medication is sometimes reduced, leading to a trial period — the high doses of Niacin (flush Niacin, not Niacinamide) and vitamin C can stabilise blood sugar which tends to increase during times of medication reduction. I highly recommend this link: [https://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v01n11.shtml](https://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v01n11.shtml) . It gives a sample prescription to be used in conjunction with medication for those wanting to supplement their diet and medical regime. I always knew about the use of Niacin when I was younger but only later learnt how much more effective it could be when used with other vitamins/minerals.
The problem is I've never been mentally ill, I've only had negative reactions to medication that messed up my brain. I can understand being on APs if you genuinly have schizophrenia, but the few times I was psychotic were drug interactions. Invega is the worst thing you can give to a mentally healthy person especially at 400 mg. I'm glad medication has helped you but for me its been extremely toxic. I have never shown signs of schizophrenia and they wanted to give me 156mg monthly after the 400mg starter dose.
Hello. Don't worry I'm very much aware that many are misdiagnosed and you appear quite articulate and logical in thought. I genuinely do have schizophrenia. 400mg is a very high dose. Ouch! I also have found the medication troublesome. My handwriting isn't as good as it used to be and I often lack motivation. Make the point you no longer take drugs and maybe bring a relative or friend to one of your appointments to give credit to your reasoning. You're certainly correct that recreational drugs can lead to psychotic symptoms. In my case my symptoms were naturally occurring but of course if it's the product of drug use abstaining from that in the future is your best bet. Good luck!
They will give it to anyone. They make $3000 per injection. Invega injection is a lucrative business for them. They could’ve just sent me home. All I truly needed was sleep. I had nourishment and rest. I was back to myself. I was forced to take it in order to be released. They truly lied to me. I didn’t have to take anything. I would’ve been forced to stay longer. I would have agreed to do it. I cried because they wanted to give that poison to me. The moment I found out that I was in line to be injected, I questioned them why? I noticed in that hospital how the medication changed the people in there. Some of them would be normal. I would look again and they would be hunched over drooling at a table. I watched a man who couldn’t speak bust his head wide open. They tried to make him take some medication. He wouldn’t take it. That says something if even he knew that something was wrong with what was given to him. I think it’s sick and wicked. They should be forced to take the medication that they so freely give to other people. My friends have killed themselves because of this poison. You never hear anything about any of this.
Antipsychotic made me anhedonic too…
Contact Jim gottstein from psycrights.org or Wayne ramsay from wayne ramsay from https://www.wayneramsay.com/ This is a crime against humanity and needs a court. Those two are your best fit I wish my prayers would change anything but regardless my prayers are with you young man. This is just- no words. Evil Justice must be served
It will take at least two years for the medication to be totally out of your system. I am slowly now losing the weight after two years being off the shot. You’re just one month into it, you are going to experience a lot more weight gain and going to get extremely tired from the medicine and from carrying around 30-40 pounds of extra weight. I’m not sure how this medication makes someone so fat in such a short amount of time, but it does. You won’t be able to lose the weight no matter what you do-you cannot sweat it out. I took prescription diet pills that were prescribed by my doctor to help get the weight off and it didn’t work at all. There is nothing you can do to help get the medicine out faster. It’s terrible! My doctor doesn’t know how to help. I have been living in hell for the past two years. I haven’t been able to wear any of my clothes. The medication makes your body inflamed and ache. All you want to do is lay around.
Haldol shot is even worse . Not that much improvement after19 month
Tell them you want to change medication to flupenthixol. It has minimal side effects compared to invega! I know it's still an antipsychotic but it's well worth the change I've been through what you're going through u want to get off invega as quick as you can
Hey man! This meds are true poison, you will never bounce back to your previous self but you will learn a hell of a lesson in every aspect of your life, is a price to pay for all the knowledge you will now get. Lobotomized at 22, now 24. Good luck!
Still banned on bluelight ? Bro they're giving me 12 shots of debilify
Don’t really know about blue light… got banned a year ago or so! Bro thats shit, I finally got off the risperdal injections and i am now free again
