| 1 | Doctor gave it without my consent . | This Drug should be taken off the Market I wouldn't give it to a Dog or even to somebody on DEATH Row.. | WHO EVER INVENTED THIS NEED TO BE SHOT DEAD. | M | 18 | 1 days 234mg | 4/5/2015 | 5 | bipolar 2 | Some day time sleepyness, involuntary eye movements, mild weight gain, breast swelling. | Works great for me! Side effects are not too bothersome. | F | 19 | 4 months | 9/15/2008 | 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 | 3 | PARANOIA SCHIZOPHRENIA | GAINED 8 LBS IN A MONTH, SLEEPY. SO FAR HAPPY WITH IT, HAS HELPED WITH MADNESS, WILL CHECK BACK IN 2 MORE MONTHS. TAKING 6MG ONCE A DAY | M | 19 | 1 months | 11/29/2008 | 1 | For my Schizophrenis | I rap, and now I'm slowed down to where i can't rap fast any more… my mind doesn't let me keep up with it…. my penis has been soft even since… i can't have sex because of it… i have major ADHD and i can't sit still and watch tv or use the computer because I feel like I have to get up.. i have major social anxiety. The paranoia went away only a little bit. It's still there and I HATE THIS DRUG! | I HATE IT! I can't have sex… rap good… sit still.. or go out anywhere i HATE IT | M | 19 | 3 months Injection 1X M | 12/17/2013 | 1 | memory loss , restlessness, huge anxiety and suicidal thoughts | almost killed my son | M | 19 | 1X day | 11/23/2012 | 4 | Schizophrenia | Lactation, sleepiness, weight gain, trouble thinking of words, impaired cognition, memory loss, unable to conjure imagination and creativity | I would rather be on this than life out of reality, away from normality. Have been applying for disability for about a year now. Delusions were mostly religious-based. Underwent two hospital stays over a series of months. Inpatient care for a year. Now I see my doctor once every three months. Very upset about the weight gain. (120lbs---> 160lbs). I have no hope for a regular life besides Invega. I've tried over 7 other medications. | F | 20 | 2 years 6 mg | 7/7/2015 | 3 | Schizoaffective Disorder | Lactation, increased appetite(leading to slight weight gain), lethargy. I was on this drug only a few days, so I can't really tell you how much it helped with my schizoaffective disorder. | The instant I found out about this drug, I begged my doctor to put me on it, and she did. I started taking it for a few days. The minute I told my doctor the side effects Invega was giving me, she took me off the med and put me on Saphris instead. Right now, I'm on my second day, and by 10/16/10, I have to take 10mg instead of 5mg. | F | 20 | 3 days 3mg 1X day | 10/14/2010 | 1 | Misdiagnosis for schizophrenia | Unable to absorb myself into the artistic lifestyle I once had, unable to ejaculate, no sex drive, unable to concentrate, painful pressure in head, complete dysphoria, anxiety, ruined life | This drug really ruined my life. I cannot feel like the person I used to be and really upset about doctors that don't listen to me. This drug really is HELL on earth. It is a life-ruining drug. To any doctors reading this, please realize that you don't know how much hell you could potentially be putting your patient through with this drug. | M | 20 | 2 months 78 mg 1X M | 10/27/2014 | 1 | voices, raging disorder, violence | extreme weight gain, sleeping 16 hrs a day, major prolactin levels, missed periods | My daughter has been on Invega for less than a year (6ml in am, 3ml in the pm) It has helped with the raging and self injurous behaviors and of course the voices are gone. BUT she is sleeping the minute she gets home from school till 6 am the next day, she has gained 40 lbs in 8 months and started lactating and missing periods in the last two months. We had the same issue with Risperdal (she took it 4 yrs before the same issues started). She is mentally handicapped with a seizure disorder,OCD and has a raging issue. She is on trilepal and topamax for seizures and Seroquel (1200ml daily)Invega (both strengths) for raging and voices, and Lexapro for anxiety. Now we are headed to a new drug Stelazine. Weening her off Invega slowly and adding the new drug. I would not recommend Risperdal nor Invega to any female at all. It causes to many hormonal issues. She actually had to have an MRI with Risperdal to make sure she didn't have a pituitary tumor. Her level was 182 with Risperdal. | F | 20 | 10 months | 10/30/2008 | 1 | bi-polar | caused a very serious acute pancreatitis,still not out of the woods yet. very dangerous medication | M | 20 | 6 months | 11/23/2008 | 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 | 12/27/2019 | 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 | misdiagnosed | It does slow down your sex drive. It is equivalent to vyvance* | M | 21 | 10 days 6 | 11/7/2014 | 3 | bipolar | Took this when I was 16. Made me produce milk in my breast and I looked 3/4 months pregnant. Overall it worked great for bipolar. Only one that does work well. | F | 21 | 4 months | 6/16/2012 | 3 | Paranoid Schizophrenia | I took invega sustenna for paranoid schizophrenia because I had annoying side effects with other medications and I also developed paranoia on some days and did not want to take my meds. Invega sustenna was an easier option because it is administered monthly instead of daily. I had some weight gain but it was not as bad as the fat gained from other medications. (just a few vanity pounds)I was disatisfied with some of the side effects though. I had elevated prolactin levels which caused me to lactate. It was uncomfortable and embarrassing. I also had strange reactions with the injection site on my arms. The injection site would remain tender for a week and become very swollen. The medication also slightly burned upon injection. I went to two different doctors to get consultations about the injection site because I wanted to make sure it was not being injected incorrectly or i was having an allergic reaction. Both doctors agreed it was most likely because my muscles were tense during the | F | 21 | 8 months sustenna 1X M | 10/21/2012 | 3 | Bipolar | Increased appetite, weight gain, occasional demonic nightmares, and stopped periods. | F | 21 | 3 months 1X day | 4/5/2013 | 2 | Schizophrenia | Lactating, decreased sexual desire, insomnia, fatique | F | 21 | 4 months | 8/21/2015 | 1 | Feels like I have no feelings horrible drug. | Worst drug I've had hate it | M | 21 | 10 years 100 | 3/26/2015 | 1 | Writing books | The feeling of fainting every day. writing less the best books less words to write. I feel like I have mono when I'm not drinking coffee, and the coffee makes me dizzier. I get indigestion and need surgery from the weight gain. Slower growing facial hair for modeling. I have to wait till next summer to be the highest paid model so I can make the highest selling cd's. I can't walk more than a half an hour a day. | I won't pay a cent to take this piece of crap drug. | M | 21 | 700 days 234 mg 1X M | 3/14/2014 |
