 4  schizo-affective disorder Lactating, sleepiness and stopping of menstrual cycle. I have been on Invega for almost two years now for schizo-affective disorder and it has worked miricals for me. I had tried multiple anti psychotic before this one and they all had terrible side effects. Some might think that lactating and having my menstrual cycle stop are bad sode effects as well, however I am at a point in my life where these things seem rather small and inconsequential. I take my Invega at night so the drowsiness is a welcomed side effect for someone who barely got sleep before. Thanks to Invega and the other meds I take, I can finally, (and honestly,) say that I am a happy functioning person. F 23 2 years

Had a schizophrenic reaction to Invega Sustenna. Invega compounds my problems stemming from severe early child Sexual abuse. I feel trapped with the adverse side effects. Wish they'd disappear.

 3  bipolar / hypomania depression Lactation (painful nipple sensitivity and breast tenderness), vivid dreams, nightmares, tingling in legs, loss of sexual desire, increased need to urinate, increase in lower back pain. It worked for the most part in curbing my feelings of depression It didn't do anything about my anger at all followed by my depression. Did nothing for my cycling. I took it every night before bed. I noticed a slight help with the depression, but other than that, I didn't notice anything else. If your willing to handle the side effects, I'd say go for it. Its an ok drug. I'm not sure it's for me. F 29 1 months

 1  Bipolar Massive weight gain, fatigue This drug is absolute poison. It did not stop my manias and the side effects were absolutely horrific. I was sleeping 18 out of every 24 hours and had to cut back uni. I also put on 70 kgs before my doctor went, "This is a problem", and gave me Metformin as well. Basically my health has been ruined because some drug rep conned my doctor into believing this drug wasn't the toxic dreck it is. I wouldn't give this med to a dog I cared about and the drug reps that push it should be shot. F 37 4 years

 1  Drug Induced Psychosis they say I have no feelings for anything or anyone. No more interest in my future. Feels like nothing else to live for, if never been suicide before invega was injected into my body. I'm fine without the injection and they keep suggesting I take it. I have a twitching pupple, it twitches all day long with 20 second breaks. I suddenly cry for no reason at times. When I'm not on the injection I'm always in a good mood. I have no way to produce adrenaline, serotonin or dopamine anymore it seems after taking this so I'm always in a depressed mood. They are putting me on the wrong medication constantly. Was on risperidone constan before this and its not any better, on that I would stand up and fall into convalstion that happened for 3 years before invega, this stuff is no better. M 24 1 years
