I think they meant gaining weight made them get off meds. I’ve done that as well. Dumbest thing I ever did. Oh I guess you had a follow up question to that. When they are off meds what puts you into the hospital. I get it now.

I quit mine cold turkey. If you do it with a doc you might have better results. I’m still gaining back my cognition from going off meds a couple years ago. Still feel like a little kid.

It’s hard to read. My replies would be a lot better if I had never gotten off meds. I’m more confused and my sentence structure isn’t as good as it was before.

Last hospital stay, I lost all insight. My mind was totally gone I thought the CIA was after me and was going to torture me. At the hospital I thought people could read my mind. I guess you could call those delusions instead of hallucinations. I couldn’t stop crying. I just thought I was being persecuted and at the hospital they were going to burn me and torture me. I was also suicidal. I was in really rough shape. I have been free of these delusions for one year ten months now since being on invega, so I guess I am stuck on it.
Thats alot have tried invega in any form? Im only asking bcus its all i need and i heard its a pretty affective AP for most people

So you had no control over what you were believing? Like you couldnt have the perception to think that you were being delusional? Like to ask yourself am i going crazy? I ask bcus i dont truly know what it means to be delusional.

My Risperdal is court ordered because I went off my meds and was running around like a lunatic for a year. I asked my pdoc about Invega and they told me that Risperdal is more powerful. My latuda makes me vomit but the zofran does away with the nasuea.

Yes I had no control to know that I was being delusional. Even when I arrived at the hospital I had no idea I was being admitted because I was sick. I lost all control of my mind. I wasn’t aware of my surroudings or nothing. It’s very scary for me and I never want to go back there again. I pray these meds will keep me out of the hospital forever because I am also afraid I will end up killing myself.
