Mental Health Coming off Invega (paliperidone) injections, v 5.0

[UnluckyXeplion]

The way I see it at this point after all of the bullshit, is that I only have two choices, either I'm gonna kill myself or I'm gonna push through it and try to succeed, and for me personally right now me killing myself would just be weak as fuck..

If I wont recover from the damage this drug did to me, I might kill myself...

Go to antipsychiatry on Reddit and complain all you want about how corrupt the system is. You were most likely psychotic and put on Invega Sustenna.

I've had certain experiences in my life that showed me that a spiritual reality exists, and also alot of what you might call conspiracy stuff exists too..This has helped me alot to have in the back of my mind. For me though at this point I think that I'd rather go down swinging..just get pissed, and try to change things..A single-minded focus, or at least something close to that which I can attain. On top of that, they won't like me saying this but what worked for me also to help was to do whatever drugs I needed to do to feel better and to be more functional, the way I see it everything is open game..With all of this stuff together, I'd say now go grab your sword and your shield, and start slaying some fucken dragons..

I realized that you shouldn't tell the truth to the psychiatric system, whatever you say will be used against you...

Hell yeah it will. I have an appointment with another psychiatrist tomorrow. I’m gonna tell them the truth and if they don’t like that shit then oh well

 

[Dre87]

I'd just be careful about what I'd say to those people because one wrong word and they might just send you back to the facility..

Yeah, we need a glorious communist Revolution or something, they would be lined up against the wall and shot..funny enough when I was at the facility I drew a picture of that and they saw it, and they were thinking of trying to use that against me. Kind of dumb to assume they won't use everything they can against you..The worst part of all of this is that I could've avoided the first court order I was on 6 years ago altogether and slipped through the cracks, but I said some stupid stuff to them and was talking about spirituality, and they put me away for it..

I read from Jung that humans will often externalize their subconscious struggle to cope with duality (good v. Evil, jekyll/hyde) onto politics and large political goings on to help them cope. I fell victim to this myself. It's best to realize that political symbolism is something like this and to get away from it altogether - I noticed too that when I am about to relapse I start listening to dark music to start feeling spiritual upheaval (I am a wimp so it's mostly Coheed for me). I just think there's something to that coping mechanism so I thought I would share what I have learned over the years.

Not exactly sure what you mean by that, but there really are conspiracies going on in politics and things like that, and everybody should be aware of them at this point..

 

[Dre87]

Sometimes they really are out to get you..

 

[Dre87]

At the risk of sounding 'mentally ill'..In 2010, God..reached down and pretty much made me the prophet Mohammad himself!..Ha..It was unreal..full on 'insider' level Alex Jones level stuff, I could probably start my own lecture tours or something by now if I really wanted to..

 

[UnluckyXeplion]

55 days off last injection and my penis is still numb, I lost my sensitivity there and it's hard for me to reach orgasm and have erection.
When can I expect it to go back to normal?

 

[Gdvffh]

Is anybody else suffering from a weird kind of constipation due to invega? It's like I'm pooping in chunks instead of a one time thing (Sorry for being graphic)

My poops tend to be very big and only one piece. If you want to jave higher quality poops you need to change your diet. Try and eat more veggies and eat less sweets. I think that will help you stop pooping in chunks

Out of curiosity, have you ever seen that southpark episode where randy took a huge shit?

I haven't changed my diet much, this horrible drug caused me this digestion problems.
No, I haven't watched southpark lol.

I have the same problems, I have constipation and maybe IBS. One of the listed side effects if Abilify which I was taking is constipation, or like a certain percentage of people who take it suffer from it. I need to find a way to clean my guts out, I've bought a whole bunch of different kind of colon cleanses, might have to do enemas eventually but I really don't want to stick anything up my ass ha..I also have dick not work problems as well, but to be fair I sort of had them even before the antipsychotics..Will probably need viagra for that..I got quite a road ahead of me..

For anyone who wants to know this is the best colon cleanse I've found, but it ships from Australia and can get expensive..

Yes but I'm talking about the way we internalize, spiritualize and personalize this knowledge ("if red party were in charge we would reach utopia" , or for example you could externally project your feelings and actions toward [insert "evil" political or social group or figure here] as a coping mechanism for imbalance or unresolved issues within your ego.in short, it's the idea that political idea or figureheads can be used as symbols for turmoil within our own psyche. Jung & his friends explain it better than i and it may not be relevant to you but it may at least be helpful to someone. I spent a lot of time on 8ch when dealing with first psychosis and at least for me personally I can see how fixation on external mysterious dark forces like five eyes or the inception of the fbi could have been substitute and a coping mechanism for dealing with a sort of death or grief fixation after my brothers passing.

From what I've experienced 1.5 - 2 years but I've heard of it returning faster for others.

When the libido comes back, is it like the way it used to be before invega?

I was half joking about the communist revolution, but I'm aware of Carl Jung and his work with the collective unconscious and the shadow self.

Its hard for me to say - I want to say yes but I went through many changes about what I thought was important - after my genitals became lifeless I think that the importance I placed on sexuality diminished . I also went from being 29 to being 32 - being overweight back to my weight and then being pregnant with my 3rd child- I think for me it's complicated but other people have said 100% and I can definitely orgasm as I used to

I just hope to win my old self back, this all situation is messed up.
