I believe these observations from others are correct and that they are truly side effects of the invega I take but I do not notice them myself. | I would feel better taking this medication if I can evaluate and be able to experience and feel my side effects that others tell me they notice about me. | M | 26 | 5 years 6 | 12/12/2015 | 1 | made to by government and police | Severe insomnia.

I am misdiagnosed with delusional skitzophrenia. Didn't have skitzophrenia b4 feel like I've got depression and anxiety nervousness and insomnia from it. I'm still on it. Right when I first started taking invega systems injection and the first week after each injection feeling weary tired sleeping too much during day. I can sleep just no energy to do anything but laze about. And my brain is real lazy. Then as the month progresses. It gets hard to sleep. Injection is on a month every 4 weeks. My phycitrist is useless and uncaring. | F | 39 | 2 years 100mg | 11/23/2015 | 1 | Bad drug!!!!!!!!! | F | 31 | 1 days 234 | 11/22/2015 | 1 | wanted to | I tried one pill and my body would not stop burning. From my head to my feet. It was so weird I don't know how to explain it. It lasted a week. I thought I was going to die. It was burning on my head so I always kept cold pack on it. I had to be in the cold. I turned the air on and it was like fridge in my room. It went away but I feel wore out every day now. | Does anyone know what it was? I was going to go to the doctor but had no money. | M | 30 | 1 days 1X day | 11/16/2015 | 1 | Schizophrenia | Loss of emotions. My period stopped. High prolactin levels. | I was given three injections - starting October 14 to December 14. The side effects were that I lost all my emotions- both positive and negative. I can't feel pleasure or be motivated, I have no creativity. It's been 11 months since I stopped taking Invega, but the loss of emotions and feelings is still here. If someone here has a similar story please contact with me- if you experienced the same loss of emotions and you recovered, or still haven't. | F | 28 | 3 months 150 MG 1X M | 11/8/2015 | 1 | Manic-depression | Suicidal ideation culminating in an actual suicide attempt. | I was suffering from PTSD and was feeling very suicidal. I was on 5 psycotropic drugs when my psychiatrist decided to give me Invega. Much to my dismay. He did not titrait me off these other drugs before giving me the Invega. 2 days after receiving a long-lasting(30day) injection of Invega I attempted suicide. I don't remember anything prior to my attempt. I am now picking up the pieces of my life. I have been in recovery for the last 6 months. I have suffered multiple broken bones. Legs, arms, feet(heels), pelvis, back bones along with an acquired brain injury.From all accounts I should be dead. I now have to use a walker. My feet and legs are very swollen from all the nerve and vein damage that occurred. I should have not have put on this drug. I blame my psychiatrists poor diagnosis and this drug for what has happened to me. If I had the money I'd sue the doctor and the drug company. My conclusion is that Invega is a very dangerous drug. | F | 58 | 2 days 1X day | 11/5/2015 | 1 | N/A | Brain Damage. | F | 29 | 3 years Highest | 11/3/2015 | 1 | pschyophrenia | SUDDEN DEATH | M | 33 | 15 months 150mg 1X M | 10/26/2015 | 1 | Schizoaffective Disorder | Stiff body. Weight gain. Took away my joy and happiness. Unable to be creative. No motivation. Mindless. Walking Zombie. Difficult holding conversation. Blank thoughts. Stopped periods. Hair loss. Depression and suicide thoughts. | The initial injection was like death. I was dizzy and lethargic. Couldn't function at all. Wanted to die. The dose was slowly lowered throughout the months and now I'm at the 39 mg injection. Things have lightened up, but I still don't like the side effects. I feel unhappy and frusterated that there isn't too many more options out there for treatment. It has helped with my illness but has created me to be unhappy and unproductive. Life isn't the same on Invega. It truly takes away your joy and it sucks! | F | 43 | 7 months 39mg | 10/16/2015 | 1 | involuntary order schizoaffective | Involuntary muscle movements. Gained 70 lbs. Lethargic and depressed. Cognitive impairment; so very stupid like I want to take off my pants to go to the bathroom and I take off my shirt instead. New insatiable appetite for food, cigarettes, sex, caffeine, anything to patch the holes from the chemical lobotomy. Sleep disorder; can't sleep or sleeping too much. Morally depressed. It's like I have no reason to live on this, but also nobody else has a reason to live too: Involuntary nihilism. Skin itchiness. My body can't regulate it's temperature. The slightness exercise makes me feel like dying rather than the joy I used to get from it. | I value nothing in the world on antipsychotics. The only reason I ignore the chemical lobotomy caused moral depression's massive gravity to kill myself or others is because I think I remember being happy being off meds various times and I'd like to believe I can go back there by refusing this unjust med order. | M | 31 | 3 years 117 1X M | 9/20/2015 | 1 | schizophrenia | Horrible made me feel like a zombie gain 25kg weekness in muscles. Still on it my Dr won't take me off. Thinking about seeing him as its affected my ability to have another child. Even spent 1000 dollars at endocrinologist to prove it was the medication. He has me on a court order and gets it renewed every 12m. | Should be taken of market still have same thoughts on medication. | F | 29 | 3 years 100mg | 9/7/2015 | 1 | Forced | Headache, loss of interest in activities, 30 lbs weight gain, uncomfortable seizures, pain in legs, feelings of fainting, unable to think clear enough to hold a conversation, loss of my period obesity and sickness | Being on Invega made me into a zombie, I could not stand up off my couch without feeling like fainting then awfully ill, my mental state was like a destroyed blank slate, I became obsessed with eating, felt unbearably discomfort able.

No emotions. Swollen face. Lactation. Loss of menstruation. | Worst drug ever. Its a sinthetic risperidone. I would rather run the risk of phsycosis than be on Invenga sustenna. Have had it forced on me for 4 years. Doubled my weight. Now running the risk of heart disease and diabetes type 2 because the Doctor does not do his job correctly. Should have been swapped or taken off over a year ago when my period cycle started to stop and my weight increase was outragious. Now I need to stop it to see if I can lose some weight and get my periods back regardless of what the Dr says. Don't get me wrong I have insight but surely there is a better drug then this!!! | F | 28 | 4 years 100 | 7/17/2015 | 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.
