Well I’m happy it worked for you but that doesn’t make it a cure. It’s still just a treatment because you have to continually take it for it to work on your positive symptoms.

technically speaking… according to my doctor, I’ll soon gradually stop taking it on a monthly basis and then completely stop taking it and go on to live without meds/schizophrenia. it’s permanent cure according to him

That makes no sense whatsoever. I don’t believe your doctor said that. There is no permanent cure for schizophrenia. If your doctor said that Invega sustenna is a cure for schizophrenia he is not a competent doctor.

I switched to abilify because my doctor knows that there is no cure for schizophrenia.

it did at least make a big difference?

#32

Yes, it brought me out of my delusions. I didn’t say that it wasn’t effective…just not a cure.

You need to continue taking meds to not have positive symptoms. They dont cure sz permanently without being taken daily.

invega sustenna is a once a month injection

Whats your diagnosis? For sz its usually meds for life. But for brief psychotic disorder or psychosis nos Drs may try to get you off meds. My original diagnosis was psychosis nos, Dr took me off meds, I was hospitalized after 2yrs and diagnosis changed to sz.

Didnt mean symptoms meant with what your Drs diagnosed with? Sz, psychosis nos, brief psychosis, delusional disirder, substance induced psychosis, etc?

never been hospitalized… but by design; I never really gave into my delusions, but I fully understand why you were hospitalized - I’ve seen that side
@Aziz I’ve reached my maximum chat limit @Moonbeam still insists on keeping me new account status because of my occasional fasting cures schizophrenia posts… just for the record, fasting doesn’t cure schizophrenia - back in February 15, I went 37 days withoout eating a single meal and nothing about the voices changed, still heard them at the end
