How long does it last? It just hit me a few days ago. Anxiety irritability insomnia. It’s pretty bad
I feel like everyone hates me. Like a ■■■■ up. I live in a dirty home because my roommate is a slob and I don’t have energy to clean my own stuff let alone his. Everything irritates me that doesn’t go right. I definitely can tel I’m off my meds but I’m dedicated to making this work I’m certain the meds made my psychosis worse. I haven’t had hardly any psychosis symptoms since stopping. Just moody but I believe it’s a withdrawal rather than an episode.
Depends on whether you got the shot or the pills. It does come in pills right?
Shot can be 6-9 months but it gradually lessens over that time.
I was on pills luckily
That’s great news! Shouldn’t stay in your body more than a week or two if you have to stop taking it. I assume you told your pdoc?
I had really bad akathisia (restlessness) on Invega, it wasn’t the AP for me.
Oh it’s been over a week since I stopped. I haven’t told her yet but I plan to. It happened on accident and I just kind of… rolled with it
For how bad I feel I’m coping okay ish. I keep having meltdown moments but they don’t last too long ad I don’t do anything. Just kind of freak out on the inside. I complained a lot to my coworker though about how bad it bothered me that another coworker threw me under the bus. Like mild crises. I have to learn to cope, I am sick of being like this,
Invega withdrawals feel like it comes in waves for me but usual I will feel sick for the whole month taper down slowly
I am going through the Akathisia now. How long did it last for you?
The withdrawal for me lasted about 6 months for the side effects to mostly be gone, and 9 months for them to be completely gone.
Were you on the injection?
I’m 23 days off the injection wanting to know how long it will take to feel normal again
Oh sorry for the late reply I was asleep, it took me like 6 months to feel mostly better from side effects and probably a total off 9 months to feel completely better. I was on the Invega monthly shot and had three shots before switching off of it.
That’s okay thankyou for the reply. Can I ask when you say 3 shots are you including the loading doses? I had 2 loading doses then one normal shot of 75mg & I’m wanting to find out how long it might take me to feel normal again. Did you have 3 shots after the loading doses or including them?
