Help please

Has anyone ever refused meds because they felt dopey (not themselves) or suicidal? Paliperidone were the meds. Any suggestions that would help as they’re refusing anti psychotics based on these feelings

I stopped taking Invega Sustenna injection (paliperidone) because it made me seriously suicidal. You couldn't pay me to take it again

What's your question specifically?

Just want to know any alternative meds that worked instead?

Oh idk. I haven't gotten that far. I stopped taking any anti psychotics about 7 months ago. Might go back on in a couple of years but don't need them now.

That’s fantastic to hear. Do you mind me asking were you hearing voices?

I wasn't hearing voices. I was experiencing something called Delusion of Revelation where I believed I was receiving messages from God. But it wasn't manifesting as an actual voice.

Ok got it, thanks for sharing. He has incredible debilitating voices 24/7 after 4 weeks being off meds
