| 5 | Tiredness and dry mouth. | So far it has been great | M | 35 | 2 months 156 mg | 1/6/2018 | 5 | M | 38 | 1X day | 10/25/2010 | 5 | itchy anus | M | 4 | 2 days 3 6X day | 10/28/2011 | 5 | Bipolar manic | Invega gave me my life back. I tolerate it very well and have fewer side effects than the other atypical antipsychotic drugs. | M | 37 | 2 years Varies | 1/19/2012 | 5 | Paranoid schizophrenia | None once i missed my monthly shot though i became ill again | I take invega and prozac, combined i have my life back, no longer suffering ED ,im happy,invega alone is not good,this drug should not be used on just depression from reading their stories on this site...i pray all of you find peace and serenity in your life,God bless... | M | 34 | 4 years 254 | 12/24/2017 | 5 | schizophrenia | Sexual side effects like trouble having an orgasm or achieving an erection or holding it for any length of time | I like this medicine. I was able to quit smoking, don't need caffeine as much, takes away all of the positive symptoms and also I am not so socially withdrawn either. | M | 36 | 5 years 9mg 1X day | 7/25/2013 | 5 | Bipolar Disorder/Social Phobia | weight loss (40lbs), urinating more frequent | This medicine works the best in keeping my mood stable. I no longer experience any symptoms of bipolar disorder and social phobia. The only thing that I don't like about this Invega is that I have to urinate more frequently. Also, it has help me lose almost 40lbs. All of the medications that I have taken in the past such as lithium, seroquel, and depakote made me gain weight (50lbs). Invega has changed my life! | M | 39 | 2 years 117MG 1X M | 8/7/2012 | 5 | Bipolar disorder | At 3mg, virtually no side effects. At 6mg, somnolence in the AM. At 9mg, somnolence in the AM and much of the afternoon, amotivated and apathetic, but not particularly flat. | Invega is way better than Risperdal as regards side effects—it's not nearly as flattening as Risperdal. 3mg of Invega seems to be equal to 1mg of Risperdal, in my experience. This is a fine med. I'm currently on 3mg qd; it helps me sleep w/o a morning hangover. | M | 20 months | 10/16/2008 | 5 | Schizoaffective disorder | None | Risperdal worked great for my symptoms but gave me side effects (increased appetite, weight gain, stomach pain, nausea). Invega controls the symptoms but without the side effects! | M | 21 | 5 months | 6/30/2008 | 5 | schizophrenia/bipolar | NVEGA SUSTENNA WAS APPROVED ON FRIDAY (July 31). schizophrenia/bipolar/Schizoaffective disorder INVEGA® (paliperidone) extended-release tablets were approved for the acute treatment of schizoaffective disorder | INVEGA SUSTENNA will replace Risperdal Consta and Haldol injection. Invega Sustenna is a once monthly injection of paliperidone palmitate. INVEGA SUSTENNA WAS APPROVED ON FRIDAY (July 31). | M | 29 | 7 months | 8/8/2009 | 5 | paranoid schizophrenia | invega sustenna with elevate everybody's prolactin ,inability to focus although i have had before my paranoid schizophrenia. this drug works really well for me. i have zero paranoid thoughts. other than the prolactin i have zero side effects | i would not recommend this drug to someone because of the side effects i have seen listed | M | 22 | 8 months 156mg 1X M | 1/4/2014 | 5 | schizophrenia | None | M | 37 | 1 years 150 mg | 1/17/2014 | 5 | paranoid thoughts | weight gain, sleep alot | It helped me to be calm in my head. I have no paranoid thougts anymore, no anxiety anymore, no stress anymore. I did stop with school but i cant tell if its because of the medicine. | M | 24 | 2 years 6 MG 1X day | 9/2/2014 | 5 | misdiagnosed | It does slow down your sex drive. It is equivalent to vyvance* | M | 21 | 10 days 6 | 11/7/2014 | 5 | schizophrenia | Sleepiness | It has been a miracle drug for me. I have been on it over a year and everything is going fine. I started on the pills and switched to the injection. I don't get why there's so many bad reviews. Ill be on this meds for the rest of my life. If you're on the pills ask you're Dr about the injection | M | 26 | 1 years 234 mg | 3/3/2015 | 5 | disorganized thoughts/schizophrenia | none | Each month I become more and more able to engage with others and speak clearly. I never gained any weight, and I have just begun to go to the gym. The monthly injection bothers me, but at least I know the medicine is consistent. | M | 19 | 117mg 1X M | 1/24/2016 | 5 | Scizoaffective | This drug cures psychosis. The documented negetive effects are all true. If one can accept the auditory hallucinations I would respectfully suggest trying to come off the medication if you can't stand the side effects. They are devestating. To speed up the process of restoration of your dopamine and seratonin receptors I suggest the use of marijuana if the you get to the point where you can't feel anything physical or emotion at all. Marijuana depletes the amount of activity of antipsychotic in the brain. It will also make at AH worse once then half life has run its course which is up to 18 months at the most documented. Do not stay on this drug long term it will ruin your life. It will be like you got a a lobotomy and you arnt even a person anymore. Straight up. Do your research to reviews of this drug before you get on the shot. Take as small a dose as possible to see how you react I took the biggest shot and I had sleep apnea and night terrors so severe it was the worst time of my life for a month or so. Having said that this drug pulled me out of psychosis and restored my mind to a rational state. Only full blown incurable scizophrenics should be treated with this med and scizoaffectives I suggest to get off of it once psychosis is cured | Research occrams razor and synchronicity | M | 33 | 9 months 6mg | 5/1/2020 | 5 | Court order | Weight gain. I look pregnant. Shrunken genitals, erectile dysfunction, Exhausted, sterile, constipation, bad breath, bad skin, hair loss on face, hair thinned on head, back is bent below neck(buffalo hump), strange way of walking, eyes lost the light in them, hemroids, triglycerides high, frequent pissing, weak stream when pissing, starting and stopping when pissing, unable to get all the piss out, man boobs, hands go numb in certain position, night sweats, night terrors, seems like a loss of frontal lobe brain activity, ECT. | Used to date prom queen in school, worked out, enjoyed life. Now I am court ordered to take this poison. I dread the next injection. This is a hardship. I regard it as discipline. You must love discipline in order to learn. If you are court ordered to take meds, learn to love it and things will get better after a little while of suffering. THIS IS NOT PERMANENT! Keep the faith. 512-790-1696 I'm willing to listen. Also, guys, ginseng helps reverse the sexual dysfunction and valerian root calms the restlessness. In Christ Jesus. | M | 39 | 3 years 156mg | 6/8/2020 | 5 | Schizoaffective disorder | Anything from A to Z | M | 68 | 4 years 6 mg 1X day | 10/29/2021 | 4 | Schizoaffective | Eye twitching | I've been on a bunch of different anti psychotic's over the last couple years. This has been the better option of them all for me to date. Not 100% satisfied because I want more of the symptoms greatly reduced but logically it just isn't going to happen. The eye twitch is annoying when it peaks but it's livable. Understood this would help with mood stabilization and such but have not seen any improvements in those areas even after a dose increase. Did help reduce my negative/suicidal voices so that's my biggest plus because other medications couldn't do it. Anxiety has increased and currently not being treated for it like I want because doctors seem to think this is the cure all problems meds but I think something else is needed to address side issues related to my condition even though I hate taking these pills. Have been pretty forgetful but can't really say if the medication is causing it or just long term effects of my life choices catching up to me. Hard to remember some days if I took my meds or not so have considered the injection but wished it did more before i jumped on board for the injection. | M | 26 | 4 months 6 1X day | 5/16/2016 |
INVEGA (PALIPERIDONE): This medication is used to treat certain mental/mood disorders (such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder). This medication can decrease hallucinations and help you to think more clearly and positively about yourself, feel less agitated, and take a more active part in everyday life. Paliperidone belongs to a class of drugs called atypical antipsychotics. It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain.
