| 1 | Mood swings/ OCD | This medication was an absolute nightmare. My son began the medicine after the Doctor swore it was weight neutral. My 14 year old gained almost 40 pounds in one year. Another side effect was that he always exhausted, and lacked any motivation. I brought the extreme weight gain to our Doctors attention at each visit. We finally had to switch doctors because the doctor insisted on leaving him on this med. This medicine also caused a thyroid condition in my child. The weaning-off process took almost two full months too. During this process, my child had night sweats and profound exhaustion.. It was an absolute nightmare. | M | 14 | 1 years 9mg | 2/25/2016 | 4 | OCD | Made me tired at first, that went away after a couple weeks, took 3mgs daily along with Anafranil for my OCD, together they are working really well. | M | 27 | 2 months | 4/12/2008 |
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.
