Advice & Tips: Going back on Invega after wanting to switch from Invega to Rexulti, because I wanted to see if my Prolactin level would improve. My Psychiatrist prescribed a way of doing that. As I was in the process of decreasing the Invega, my old problems of not sleeping and feeling like I was being TORTURED came back. Before I was on Invega, I would experiencing periods of torment, then after taking Invega they stopped, but then after about two and a half months they started again. It was like if a BLACK HOLE was sucking my mind DRY, LIQUID ACID to my soul, HELL, my mind would collapses, and I was unable to function as usual. These periods would last only a few minutes or can last up to as long as several hours and happen quite regularly and had been going on for about the last 40 years, until I started Invega. Also I was wishing for death pretty BAD before taking Invega. But now after increasing the Invega to 15 mg per day, I don't have these periods of torment as often and I don't wish for death so BAD. When not on any antipsychotic medications, including Invega, I feel like; others could hear my thoughts (broadcasting), that I could hear other people thoughts (mind reading), that I could communicate by thought with others without speaking a word (telepathic communication), not only could I communicate with other people in this way but I could communicate with other things as if they had human like qualities (anthropomorphic telepathic communication), believing that I am super important to the world (grandiose thinking), that others were out to kill me (paranoia), and I would become very delusional. But, now after taking the antipsychotic medications for some time, not only do I not believe in these things (powers) were never true for me, I also believe that no one else has these powers. Maybe some people may have others out to kill them, but this is not true for me. Also, for over 35 years (1977 - 2013) I believed that God would talk to me personally and would give me personal instructions, but now, I don't believe this is/was probably ever true. Now, I believe God gave me a brain/mind so that I could figure out how to love other, which is what He wants me to do. Relief of the psychotic symptoms comes with a price, the side effects of those antipsychotic medications. The antipsychotic medications of today, work better with less side effects. than those in 1977 when I started taking them. I have no sex drives (libido), an involuntary movements of the tongue and lips (tardive dyskinesia), and an internal restlessness (akathisia), which I had before starting Invega, so I can’t blame Invega for them.
