I'm lactating i look pregnant I gained 30 pounds. My blood sugar is higher. I am falling easily. My eyes move all the time. I am not having and skipping menstrual cycles. I am going to se an obgyn. I am stupid. These are more side effects I am having. | The doctor and the judge. The judge doesn't do anything for me. He just says ok I'll do what the doctor says ok I will make her take the drug. He doesn't respect me or doesn't treat me like a person. He is holding me hostage to be abused. I am a person. The doctor is a dumb man writing orders and blaming me. He treats me like a pet. He does not respect me. This is malpractice. I am confused lots of confusion. I lost everything i had went to psychiatric hospitals am allergic to all the medications and went to shelters after loosing everything I owned and loosing jobs since 2012. | F | 47 | 158mg 1X day | 7/21/2023 Patient History | 1 | Misdiagnosed schizophrenia | This drug is a chemical lobotomy ment for people who are severely mentally ill. As a sane person who got screwed over by a psychaitrist who didn't do his job and lied to judge I was forced this drug against my will. This drug is not meant for sane people. It causes the very symptoms it's supposed to relieve. Weight gain severe weight gain. Anxiety. Suicidal thoughts. Mood swings. Severe agitation. Can't feel caffeine anymore literally doesn't give me energy it does nothing now. I've been bed ridden for like 8 months now got off of it 2 months ago almost. It made me hypersexual I was masterbating 5 times a day. Made me impulsive. Couldn't control my emotions. This drug is not meant for people who are not schizophrenic. | Terrible drug. Should be banned. Should have to take a brain xray before getting prescribed a drug like this. | M | 25 | 6 months 150 1X M | 3/11/2023 | 1 | Schizoaffective disorder | Restlessness, memory loss, lower IQ, Confusion, thought blocking, tiredness, muscle spasms, sleepiness | Invega helped with psychotic episodes, and panic attacks but the effects are more than I can handle. I find myself having effects and I'm sometimes forced to look at treetops and roofs of buildings. I usually take some medication for this, so I've become dependent on it. I want to withdraw from the use of invega and this other drug this month but I'm scared of the withdrawal effects. Kindly contact me if you have been able to stop taking it completely and are leading a normal life, no tics, no muscle spasms, no confusion. I wouldn't want even the worst of my enemies to go through this. Invega is a really bad drug | F | 22 | 7 months 100mg 1X M | 1/18/2023 | 1 | I was forced to take paliperidone | Hallucinations, brain zaps, stiffness, insomnia, constipation, anxiety, dryness of skin and mouth, taking telfast. It's third month since I stopped the injection and still no sign of recovery. Before the injection I never heard any voices, now three times a day hearing voices. I was suffering from sexual harassment therefore the doctor forced me to take the injection. I have never had schizophrenia, don't understand why they gave me this injection. I have not given them any consent. I am going to sue the hse in Ireland. God knows how long will I be suffering from this. NEVER TAKE THE INJECTION, IT'S A POISON. Now I am taking antibiotics because the poison got into my kidneys, having kidney infection at the moment, don't know what should I expect next. | It's a toxic poison for the body. | F | 48 | 3 months 175 1X M | 11/5/2022 | 1 | Misdiagnosed with schizoaffective | Lack of emotion, blank mind, memory loss, severe cognitive issues, depression, anxiety, no feelings of joy, anger, humor. No critical or analytical thinking skills. No creativity. It has zapped me of my life. It is truly a chemical lobotomy. I pray to God these side effects are not permanent. Has anyone ever come back from this. I'm hoping since I wasn't on it too long the side effects may wear off but my brain feels damaged severely. God help us. This drug is evil | Please do not take this drug. | M | 39 | 4 months 6-9mg 1X day | 11/5/2022 | 1 | Schizophrenia | Insomnia, Agitation, Weight gain, Weak muscles, Extreme Akathisia | I was forced on Invega ER in a state hospital. I finally changed Dr.s and got off of it. It didn't help me. | M | 61 | 8 months 3 mg 1X day | 1/15/2022 | 1 | Forced by hospital | I was forced to take this through malpractice at an adolescent psychiatric hospital. They gave me the option to choose between an antipsychotic tablet or this injection. I wanted neither and so they gave me a day to decide. When I decided on the tablet they said "sorry we have already decided you will be getting the injection". I was just a child with too much energy who they couldn't control, disrupting the quiet in the hospital. This drug caused so many problems for me. I come back here now about a decade later to give hope to anyone else reading this that you can heal from the damage this caused. I remember reading forums and just praying for my death, as discovering how long it takes for this drug to leave the system left me feeling like I could not get through the suffering. I had akisthisia and anehdonia. I would wake up and cry that I woke up again. I could not feel any emotions and wanted to die. The restless feeling in my feet and body tortured me 24/7. This was one of the darkest times in my life. Stumbling accross this now is a reminder for me of how I got through something I didnt think I would. And you will too. Please dont give up. | On receiving drug testing for other reasons over 5 years after receiving this drug, I was told that invega sustenna showed up in the results. According to the half life the drug company states, this shouldn't even be possible. This drug causes harm. Please do not take it if you have the choice. Feel free to contact me if you are struggling and need support from someone who knows what you are going through. | F | 24 | 2 times 2X O | 1/14/2022 | 1 | Bipolar | Look up the reviews before taking this crap glad I did seems to be a crappy pill with to much side effects and no benefits from it. Hopefully all of you that had bad side effects recover fully. | M | 37 | 0 days 3 mg 1X day | 1/9/2022 | 1 | psychosis | Destroyed my life completely..i'm going to commit suicide by overdosing on meds i cannot take this any longer | Takes 150 to 300 days to get out of the body | M | 34 | 2 months 150 mg 1X M | 12/9/2021 | 1 | Family lied in sectioning | No joy or happiness can be derived from anything. Loss of interest in life. Completely numb and zombie like. Zero sense of self mentally and emotionally. No motivation. Hopelessnes. Loss of friends. Unable to to work efficiently and productively. Memory loss. Brain fog. Difficulty communicating thoughts and feelings. The life goes out of your eyes. People don't want to associate with you for lack of being able to function normally ie loss of social skills. Difficulty recalling words or events. Difficulty reading as not able to remember what you just read or comprehend what your reading. Extremely low moods and thoughts of self harm. Unable to sleep or only sleeping 2 to 3 hours a night. Rapid weight gain. Loss of cognitive function. Are not affected by alcohol/higher tolerance. Completely devoid of life | I would not recommend this medication (life destroyer) for anyone not even my worst enemy. Do your utmost best to avoid having to take it as it will rob you of your life completely to the point that you won't remember what it felt like to be alive. If your unfortunate enough to have it forced on you then my only advice would be to remember that it isn't you making you feel this way (or lack thereof) it is the medication. And pray that you won't have to take it for the rest of your life. Also I would not recommend going cold turkey as you will have a relapse and will end up in hospital and possibly worse off then before. Just be compliant so the doctors can see you arnt being difficult or unwilling to help yourself. It will look better on you and will make the doctors more willing to reduce and eventually take you off it so do your best to do the right thing by yourself regardless of how much you don't want to take it. If your living this currently or are looking at the fact of having to take this drug then my best wishes to you for the future. Don't give up hope, keep pressing on and love yourself.
