| 1 | False diagnose | No interest in anything anymore. No energy. I've been off for a while and still feel like crap. | This drug needs banned. | M | 47 | 6 days 6 | 7/1/2017 | 3 | depressive Bi-polar | I started taking Invega 6 mg a day for a few years. I was told by a physician that Invega was the cause of my weight gain, so I stopped it and lost 40 lbs in 2 months...But I went psychotic and delusional, something I hadn't had before....The Dr. put me on Injections and now for over a year have gained back the 40 lbs and gained an additional 40 lbs! Thats a HUGE weight of 80 Pounds gained from Invega! | I have bad back/knees and the gaining 80 pounds caused my bone on bone arthritis to worsten...I went from a size 9-10 to an 18-22 dress size! I am only 5'3" and weight over 220 pounds now! I cannot always walk and the weight gain has my self esteem in a dumpster somewhere! It works great to clear out delusional thinking and psychosis but the weight gain may leave you wanting to try something different…I am going to quit taking Invega as soon as it is safe to do so and try another medication ASAP | F | 52 | 4 years 6 mg 1X day | 4/20/2017 | 1 | Don't get horny don't feel like having shower don't like going out don't like shopping no I feel worthless I can't get horny I don't feel like having a shower I don't enjoy anything anymore I don't get tired I find it very hard to sleep I feel like dying I have no energy do to do anything I can't concernstrate I always forget things my memory's bad my brain ain't functioning properly I don't talk to no one unless they start a conversation I can't cry I don't get angry I don't care about anything. I feel like have depression maybe it's just the drug | Don't take its the worst drug | M | 25 | 4 weeks 75mg | 4/2/2017 | 3 | Schizophrenia | Weight gain, blurred vision, a bit of anxiety, uncontrolled eye movement, gave me a blank mind can't think of words to say and can't hold a conversation along with no interest in conversation. Oh and social anxiety too. On the plus side it took my hallucinations away completely. I've been off of it for two months and haven't relapsed. | F | 25 | 1 years | 3/12/2017 | 1 | Misdiagnosed with schizophrenia | Being on invega has been the worst experience, my emotions are dead I can't feel a thing, I'm always upset and sad. I wish I never took this med, now I'm wondering if this bad feeling will last for the rest of my life, I want to get off this med asap. It ruined my life. | M | 30 | 8 months 150 mg | 3/12/2017 | 2 | Schizoaffective Disorder | Can't sleep at all, can no longer talk or connect with people, blank mind, inability to enjoy anything, bad mood, lost of appetite, gained weight but lost it, sluggish | I don't like the way this medicine made me feel I used to be so happy and carefree now I'm miserable and feel bad about myself. | F | 18 | 3 months 150mg | 3/10/2017 | 5 | personality disorder | I seem to get a knot at the injection site | I am extremely satisfied with this medication in the short three months that I have been on on it I have been able to acquire a job, and have had more energy to do things. I have noticed that my moods are more under control being on invega. | F | 45 | 3 months injection | 2/24/2017 | 1 | paranoid schizophrenia | Dumbed down, can't think rationally, low sex drive, blank mind set, etc. The list goes on... | Invega sustenna fried my brain. Im unable to talk to people like I used to. I'm not as outgoing as I once was. I'm always quiet with nothing in my head. I don't know whether its the meds, or if its the schizophrenia. I can't speak up for myself. I feel dumb now, and it feels like a permanent disaster. Invega sustenna ruined me. I used to be smart, but now its like I know nothing. I can't get a girl friend, and its frightening because it seems as if I'll be this way forever. I'm no longer the loving man that I used to be. This medicine ruined my personality, charm, and charisma. Its as if I know nothing now, and have nothing to say. My feelings and emotions are gone, but my feelings can still get hurt. Its torture, and the doctors don't care. This is a total violation of my civil rights, and I had no choice but to comply. At this point I don't know what to believe in. I just don't know what to say to people at any given time. My mental state is tarnished, and its all due to invega sustenna. I know crack heads who are smarter than me now. Literally... | M | 26 | 9 months 153 mg | 1/28/2017 | 1 | ? | Too Many too count. This is illegal. This is murder! | Poison! Pure death! | M | 50 | 2 months alot 1X M | 1/26/2017 | 1 | forced to. was "certified" | This drug has caused me heart damage. It has been proven that this drug causes arrhythmia. I've been off of it for 6 months and my heart has not recovered and I'm concerned and in the process of proving that I have potentially fatal heart damage due to this drug. The first time I was injected my heart started beating uncontrollably fast and hard I thought I was going to have a heart attack. My muscles became weak and flaccid, I still haven't recovered my muscle tone. My face changed taking on a greasy complexion and glassy eyes. My blood sugar would get high and this never had been an issue and I still am trying to recover a healthy metabolism. I stopped menstruating and didn't get a period until just recently after months of being off the drug. Horrible nightmares on the drug. Inability to sit still or enjoy anything on this drug. I describe my experience on this drug to be torture and am tramatized.

People say to me I speak more clearly and I hold a better conversation. This medication has helped me in a lot of ways but the side effects could get worse or cause some problems for me in the future especially the ED if it were more permanent but lately I haven't had that problem at all. | M | 26 | 4 months 120 1X M | 1/17/2017 | 1 | Psychosis | Extreme weight gain 56 lbs , headaches., elevated triglycerides , high cholesterol , skin infections, maybe diabetes | This is the devils drug.
