Open original source ↗
I’ve been on it for 2 months. First month of 9mg oral and now I’m taking 3mg oral for about another month. ... Blank mind - feeling like you have no thoughts ... dumbed down - unable to hold conversations, forgetting how to speak, no personality, no emotions.
Cause
Reddit r/Antipsychiatry first-person OP: paliperidone oral 9 mg first month then 3 mg ~second month (meant to stay at 9 mg; two bottles 3/6 mg). Attributes blank mind (no thoughts) + no personality / no emotions to paliperidone. Unused post distinct from known Invega drugs.com/AskAPatient/Bluelight cluster. Live Reddit 403; quote from search-index OP excerpt.
Duration
~2 months on oral paliperidone at posting (1 month 9 mg then ~1 month 3 mg); still on-drug; asking how long recovery takes
Recovery notes
No recovery claimed. Asking if pills can be cut for a smaller taper and how long recovery takes. Replies urged taper/stop; one said 3 years max-dose injections then stopped a few days earlier (not this OP). No later OP update in available excerpts.
