Hi, I'm Nina2012

June 2, 2026··

I was severely damaged by 6 Invega Sustenna shots in 2012. I even totally lost my ability to sleep from this meds damage. I felt so bad because of it that tried to unalive myself several times and was forcefully put on more psych meds. I'm now on 37.5mg of Clozapine to be able to sleep.

Hi Nina! I know you from X. (I'm Limessa on X, although neither are my real name). I'm really glad you have joined us here for support. You have been put in a terrible position by doctors, and I know how traumatized you have been because of it. Have you had any improvement at all or are things pretty much the same? Please let us know how we can best support you. Reach out anytime! Love 'n Hugs, Catina ♥️
