 1  misdiagnosed schizophrenic&bipolar Memory loss, unable to recall words, decreased libido, decreased ejaculation volumes, loss of motivation, sleepy most of the times, undue pressure in the brain, unclear state of mind, general disorientation, and procrastination of chores and activity or lethargy. At a mental level I felt no apparent difference in my mental state after being administered the drug, apart from the afore mentioned side effects. I've never heard voices or had hallucinations or suffered from any major delusions apart from the common ones we all do. The folks that were around me did not notice any difference in me after my medication nor did I feel any because I did not suffer from any symtoms of disorders mentioned above. I used to smoke marijuana and that did give me mood swings during withdrawals and I did act like i was off my head at times while stoned coz I was smoking very large amounts of hash but after abstaining for over four months I was fairly back to normal and it was then I saw a psychatrist and my parents told him about my stoned behaviour. The psychatrist diagnosed me schizo and bipolar and put me on invega. All in all the medication did not have any effect on my mental state because it was already normal but I did suffer from all the side effects that this medication entails. I'm lucy that I did not suffer from any major side effect that other people did on this drug but still it was a horrible experience for me. Despite my informing the doc about its indifference to me mentally, the doc has advised to continue with the medication. I mean do you diagnose a person on how he acts when hes drunk? Why the fuck am I diagnosed on the basis of being stoned. I don't get it. Anyways I'm sure this drug outweighs the cons to its pros. So think twice be M 28 6 months

 1  Was diagnosed with paranoid schitzo Loss of vision, excess salivation...chewed food, but couldn't swallow it., voice weakened. couldn't even finish a sentence because I couldn't remember my train of thought. Could barely walk. Too many bad side effects... A wonder drug for the government, bankers and families wanting to eliminate mentally ill family members. Paranoid schizophrenia is the newest label given to anyone with any kind of a mental health issue. I was first diagnosed as bipolar at 16. At 24, after much testing, I was told that I was counter-dependent. Eventually I had a nervous breakdown. 7 years later I had a ministroke and after a few days I went to E.R. After having an MRI an 8.5 aneurism was found. After coiling surgery I had a major stroke. My brain has been through enough! However I have NEVER heard voices. I've always been paranoid of my mom and sister...with good reason! Invega shouldn't be given to anyone and manufacturer should be sued! F 57 2 months

 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

 1  bad sexual thoughts Crying all the time suicidal thoughts. Feeling all alone loneliness. Don't know if there is a medicine that counteract these feelings. Always paranoid to the max. I gained 15 pds I n one month. Terrible feelings of doom. My doctor wants to put me on a dose of 69 mg of a shot I now take 117 mg .at first time of each month I get 117 mg of invega.be careful of getting a shot of this medicine I think can be very dangerous. Suicidal ideation bad.dizziness terrible.very irritable. Is there a shot for side effects. Once you get a shot it is in your system and can't do anything about it. I think this shot can be done but wear off.which takes days to several weeks. Very strong medicine when Giving the very first day and several weeks. Be very careful. I would think about side effects of invega before taking. Dont know how this medicine will mix other medicines.be cautious. Seriously 53 10 days

 2  Because I'm the best looking Almost collapsing everyday. Unable to balance my mood and had to stop smoking good weed as much only at times at night after drinking coffee. Bloating in my stomach and I only weighed 150 pounds before. Not being able to walk far. Tired and coffee mixed with the drug. I was able to quit drinking from this drug. I don't know if my scarela has changed blue and eyes from invega. I doubt it. Not directly from invega.but as a special power from Jesus. I get to get rich from my eyes and being a human tiger and make more money than Jansenna and meet the coolest and prettiest looking women. Invega has done no good for me. I can still barely eat and all fluids bloat me. It's been 10+ months off the highest doser. I was so fucked up on invega that I wrote some of the best songs on invega. Alcohol made me sound retarded while on invega. My views got stuck at 777 for that song 777 is Jesus Christ it had more views before. I wrote some crazy stuff when I was messed up on invega for Jesus books. Me making my own best lightning had nothing to do with invega. It made me look like I was on crack when I went for a long walk and drank coffee. It's complicating drinking the right amount of coffee. M 29 3 years

 1  Bipolar I was on invega for 3 months. I was put on the pill when I got admitted into the hospital . The pill did not agree with me, didn't want to shower , felt insecure, no motivation, and I gained massive weight in a month. At first my body was ok with invega. All of a sudden here goes the side effects. I'm off it now, my body hasn't come back too. No cycle, weight has not dropped. I ex cerise and intake less calories . So frustrating ! F 1 days
