 1  I was in psychosis. I think it worsened my psychosis. It was a traumatic experience. I forgive the people who gave it to me. I just do not want others to go through what I went through. I thank the Lord Jesus that He was with me and that He helps me deal with those memories. He has saved my soul and I will see Him soon when He comes back to earth! Maranatha. This medication should not be court forced on people. I was not able to research what is in this drug and what the side effects are before being injected. F 29 2 weeks

 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

 1  Schizoaffective Disorder I was unable to concentrate on class. I took this drug while I was 22 and was unable to complete a midterm exam in macroeconomics. I was losing the ability to concentrate on anything I read. This drug raised my libido a lot and I lost over sixty pounds (I've gained all the weight back after switching to a new medication which allows me to concentrate on University). I had a lot of sexual hallucinations while on this medication. During class it would seem as if though I could feel one of the men in the classroom pleasure me. It was really distracting. I also laughed a lot on this medication. My mood was elevated. I quit a whole year of college due to my inability to focus and was unable to major in what I wanted once I transferred. Throughout that year, I thought a celebrity loved me and tried to fly to England without a passport or money. I ended up in a psych ward. I seriously considered quitting school and becoming a housewife. My personality did a 180. On Invega I wasn't the ambitious and successful me who had graduated with honors in high school and was voted most likely to become a doctor. I'm glad I'm on a different medication now. I hope to graduate from University as an English major. If your doctor suggests you continue taking the old medication as you adjust to the new medication, my advice is to continue taking the old medication until your doctor tells you to stop.

 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

 1  Psychosis Definitely would not recommend this drug to anyone not even my worst enemy. The hopelessness I feel is beyond comprehension. I can't describe how de motivated I feel it's to the point I can't do anything for myself and my body is getting worst because of it. I can't exercise because I can't find the motivation to do it and I am constantly thinking about death and how much regret I live with is awful. How on Earth do these doctors prescribe such poison to people I will never understand. 20 1 years

 1  Forced Recieved two injections 150MG 28-6-19 and my last injection was 100MG 5-7-19 after becoming delusional due to long fasts without food and water and little sleep. Hours after receiving the injection I became lethargic, depressed, suicidal, with poor concentration. Have not had any more injections since 5-7-19. Have gone from 62kgs to 80kgs since the injection. I had a very controlled diet before the medication but experienced intense food cravings after the injections. It is now 17-12-19 and I am still experiencing food cravings but to a lesser degree, I cannot concentrate much, I still feel lethargic with little energy, feeling depressed and suicidal. I was not depressed or suicidal prior to the injection. According to www.drugs.com/answers/long-invega-stay-system-after-discontinued-747165.html invega sustenna muscular injection can take 150-300 days to clear out of your system. Please read up about medication and the side effects and time for it to get out of your system, if there are side effects and the drug has a long half-life and a long time for it to get out of your system it may be a long time for the side effects to go.

 1  Paranoid Delusions and Hallucination Extreme tiredness and inability to care about doing anything. Just want to lay in bed for 20 hours a day in a semi coma with my eyes closed . Massive weight gain of 60 lbs. Depression. Too zonked out to socialize. I've been taking this for about 10 months and side effects seem to get worse and worse as time goes on. I am on the 30 day injectable...not sure what dose. I tried a higher dose, and for one month I was in bed for 20 hours a day. This month they lowered my dose and I still want to lay in bed all day. Weight gain of 60 lbs. Depression, adhedonia, total loss of energy and who I used to be. This drug makes me care about nothing in life and I can't see how anyone can function vocationally or socially on this medication. I go off of it next month and hope to god withdraw isn't too terrible and I get back to my old self quickly. Id rather have delusions and hallucinations than be an inanimate object who doesn't care if they are alive or dead. Email me for support. I need it after this nightmare and so do half of you.

 1  Bipolar This medication has destroyed my existence, I don’t know why it’s even legal. These doctors are psychopaths to treat a person in this way. My life ended the moment they injected me with this stuff. I’ve been off it for almost a year and I don’t know how to move forward because it seemed to attack all my positive personality traits. My mind was very goal oriented and was always making plans for the future with side projects and hobbies. It has taken the creativity, ideas, joy and inspiration away. I was a workaholic but now I can’t seem to get out of bed and it’s driving me insane. I’m still in disbelief that this could happen. There were many initial side effects like Parkinsonism which seemed to have passed but it has caused poly neuropathy and brain pressure that doesn’t seem to be improving. I’m constantly suicidal because I just want to erase this evil act. I don’t know how I’m supposed to function in this world after this level of torture. It seems like I got the death penalty for not sleeping and talking about some conspiracy theories. What are they trying to do, they really need to understand mental health a lot better. I never heard of mania until after the episode. Not sure why I deserve this level of punishment because I was uninformed of the triggers. I was someone that loved knowledge, I just seem to miss a piece of information that could have saved my life. The first psychiatrist I seen should have known better, and not jumped to the conclusion that I was the scum of earth because I had a breakdown. I voiced my concerns about the safety of antipsychotics but it seems like they chose the worst one to screw me up. What are they trying to prove. It makes me sick, this should never have happened.

 1  Psychotic break This drug ruined everything that makes me me. I was in a very sensitive period of my life after my psychotic break, and it really just felt like punishment for that. I lost all emotion, became extremely depressed. I’ve had horrible problems with pain that seems to be worsening since this medication. I used to be a musician, a writer, and a visual artist, and now I have lost the ability to do all those things completely. I honestly wanted to kill myself for such a long time after getting off this drug, and I honestly still do sometimes. I kept thinking that eventually I would change back, but the weird thing is that the changes appear to be permanent. Please don’t use this drug unless you’ve tried all other drugs and it’s a matter of life and death. It should be schedule 1. M 27 4 months
