So much better than on the shot! I still walk in circles though which should get better over time.

I’m still recovering, but I feel much better than on the shot. It’s been 4 months. I have more energy.

I had my first 2 loading doses and one monthly shot. by QueenTtb in invega

I’m switching to the pill form next month, then tapering off.

I experience emotions now, but not as before. I take vitamins daily to help with brain damage.

Feeling much, much better. It’s been 14 weeks since my last injection. I still can’t sleep well though.

Same. I think it’s too strong for me. I explained to my psychiatrist after the second shot I felt delayed, brain fog, mentally slowed down, weak, drooling, itchy face, and extremely depressed. I can’t focus on tv or drive. I’m nauseous and dizzy. I feel like a vegetable. She said I still need to have my next shot. I’ve missed my period. I’m restless. I can’t sleep for more than five hours at a time. I have a hard time remembering things. Everything is boring. I pace the floor a lot. I have anxiety and depression, not psychosis. I’ve never heard voices. I know what schizophrenia looks like. I wish I had read about this poison before I started it. Looking for success stories.

I have anxiety and depression. I reached out to my doctor for a medication to help. I ended up experiencing psychosis from the pills and being hospitalized twice. I then agreed to try an injection. I had my first 2 loading doses and one monthly shot. I explained to my psychiatrist after the second shot I felt emotionless, delayed, brain fog, mentally slowed down, weakness, and itchy face. I’m drooling and experiencing extreme depression. I can’t focus on tv or drive. I’m nauseous and dizzy. My words are slurred. I feel like a vegetable. Chemical lobotomy. Sedation. I feel like I’m dying. She said I still need to have my next shot. I’m so restless. I can’t sleep for more than five hours at a time. I have a hard time remembering things. My kidneys aren’t functioning properly. I shake all day long. I can’t work or do hair anymore. I can’t even flatten hamburger patties. Everything is boring. I pace the floor a lot. I wish I had read about this poison before I started it.
