it gets me out of the house for a couple hours. and I really like my nurse. no way do I want to go back to pills, it’s such a convenience not having to worry about taking meds everyday. been on the 234 mg shot of Invega for 27- or 28 months now. the arm is sore for a couple days after, but it’s not too bad. I can still workout.
I get my shot this Wednesday morning. man my life is lame, that this is one of the highlights of my month.
Of you get it in the hip it is sore for less time. I used to do the arm and switched a few months ago.
What positives have you guys noticed on the Invega shot? I’m going to ask to get it today when I see my psychiatrist.
the only positives I have is a bit of anxiety, and at times racing thoughts. the voices which were severe for me for 2 or 3 years are now gone, and I don’t feel like my mind is being read all the time, so no voices, no thought broadcasting, no paranoia. a sane normal reality.
am experiencing a bit of depression and lack of motivation on it. but I force my way through things on a day to day basis. also less libido on it. but it’s a life saver. im almost normal now.
Its my highlight of the month too getting my jab. Cos i get to be asked how i am - and it brings some validity to my illness, and of course i get to moan about the difficultys ive had and it gets it off my chest. Used to have mine in the bum lol, but i prefer it in the arm - cos last time i couldnt sit down after a couple of days which was more of a pain lol.
W/ invega in the arm, I do extremely big deep breaths and don’t tense up. No lump/pain or anything the last time I got it. I get the 234mg too. I was going to get it in the bum, but I feel weird and too exposed
