| 3 | Currently going through withdrawal as I'm lowering my dose of (pills) I'm trying to reduce my stress levels not overwhelm my psyche during this time. I understand it depends on how the med is metabolized per person. With that taken into consideration.. Estimate, On Average, Typically how long does withdrawal last? | 35 | 72 days 1X day | 6/29/2021 | 4 | Schizophrenia | I do dream Everytime I sleep and have started feeling prickly sensations on skin as well as some weight gain. | But I no longer hear loud voices and can get some rest unlike walking around at night scared someone is after me. | F | 40 | 70 days 3mg 1X day | 6/14/2021 | 3 | Invega is one of the worse meds I've ever been on. Brain dead! I don't feel Like I'm retaining any information I'm learning, or focus on anything! I have to reread it a thousand times to process, and repeat to myself constantly what I just read. It's not coming to me right away. Controls some of my symptoms at the expense of lowering my IQ. Conversations are slipping away as well. You feel present, but you aren't present which in turn gives me anxiety, and makes me not want to engage in conversations sometimes. Things slip past your head. :/ | Bloating, tired, possible weight gain, possible tardive diskinethesia. | 33 | 90 days 4.5 1X day | 5/12/2021 | 1 | Family lied in sectioning | No joy or happiness can be derived from anything. Loss of interest in life. Completely numb and zombie like. Zero sense of self mentally and emotionally. No motivation. Hopelessnes. Loss of friends. Unable to to work efficiently and productively. Memory loss. Brain fog. Difficulty communicating thoughts and feelings. The life goes out of your eyes. People don't want to associate with you for lack of being able to function normally ie loss of social skills. Difficulty recalling words or events. Difficulty reading as not able to remember what you just read or comprehend what your reading. Extremely low moods and thoughts of self harm. Unable to sleep or only sleeping 2 to 3 hours a night. Rapid weight gain. Loss of cognitive function. Are not affected by alcohol/higher tolerance. Completely devoid of life | I would not recommend this medication (life destroyer) for anyone not even my worst enemy. Do your utmost best to avoid having to take it as it will rob you of your life completely to the point that you won't remember what it felt like to be alive. If your unfortunate enough to have it forced on you then my only advice would be to remember that it isn't you making you feel this way (or lack thereof) it is the medication. And pray that you won't have to take it for the rest of your life. Also I would not recommend going cold turkey as you will have a relapse and will end up in hospital and possibly worse off then before. Just be compliant so the doctors can see you arnt being difficult or unwilling to help yourself. It will look better on you and will make the doctors more willing to reduce and eventually take you off it so do your best to do the right thing by yourself regardless of how much you don't want to take it. If your living this currently or are looking at the fact of having to take this drug then my best wishes to you for the future. Don't give up hope, keep pressing on and love yourself. God bless | M | 27 | 3 years 1X M | 5/11/2021 | 3 | Switched over from another medication that gave me TD. It's been frustrating dealing with that alone. Invega somewhat helps my “mania” impulsive tendencies, and keep me semi functioning. I have trouble with word recall at times, or repeating myself, remembering some things (But I have a history of tbi's) lately I've been in a rut. I don't feel like reading, writing, or partaking In activities I enjoy, also with Invega my mind goes blank at times. Will stick with this for a while before seeing if this is the right med for me. | Eat clean to counteract bad effects, avoid sugar unless natural if you can. Get enough sleep!
