 1  Misdiagnosed bipolar Genius brain gone to waste. Thinking about suicide all day everyday. No emotions, cognitive deficits, lost all friends, weak body, low testosterone, ruined teeth, the issues are never ending. Absolute poison, a drug that lasts a year in the body should never be legal.

 1  Misdiagnosed, psychiatrist lies Brain fried after 1 week, extreme and non-stop mental torment, dead eyes, schizo thoughts for the first and only time, all the listed 'side effects', life consumed, suicide attempts, end of all interests in exercise and future plans, major cognitive difficulty, spiritual death, guaranteed to ruin your brain, no mental disorder can warrant the joyless existence this drug causes These are not aside effects if 100% of people experience wild changes. The first few reviews are likely fake they gave this poison 5 stars until real victims submitted their stories and consistently complain of unimaginable unending misery. Still feeling destroyed after 6 months off 2 injections, the door is shut behind me and my life is worthless and hard to bear, subhuman crippling poison that should not be given to any life forms except psychiatrists and to its creators, the hidden and protected legal murderers i.e. scum of the earth.

 1  Family alleged I was a threat This is as brief as I can describe the "side effects" or effects to instate what this drug really does. Made me severely weaker, gave me severe strength loss and loss of muscle tone, caused high fat gain among this. Made me dumber, caused decline in intellect and cognitive impairment. Ruined my short term and long term memories, made me unable to form new memories or visualize stuff in my mind. Made me unable to think. Sent my hormones out of whack, lowered my free testosterone, and raised my prolactin to the point that my testosterone was just gone. Critically reduced sexual functioning and made me sterile. lowered my motivation, made me lazy, caused anhedonia, suicidal ideation. Pain full akathisia. Insomnia, nightmares, no dreams at all. caused heart pain and shortness of breath. Tachycardia. Mental state to paranoid, lack of emotion, no joy, anhedonic, zombified. Severe dizziness, headaches, blurry vision. Facial changes, hair loss, oily clammy skin, dilated pupils. Stif Didn't hear voices, don't see things. Still, this isn't "medicine" for anyone. How I have survived is a miracle alone. This drug could have killed me, the effects were so strong and I really am surprised that I was lucky enough to make it through the deadliest of days. I was diagnosed as delusional for complaining of health problems and complications (severe pain in back). Next hospitalization was because I got in a family fight and they alleged I was a danger to them, so Psychiatrist said I could not leave unless I atleast tried medication long term, so I agreed to it to test it out. Later I was admitted again for having to go to the ER with physiological problems, and given this again. Sat blankly in classes, couldn't focus or pay any attention no matter how hard I tried, could not retain information, could not remember new things, forgot old things, could not think or figure out how to do the class work. This drug is an absolute nightmare. On top of all that I could not sit still, was worried about trachycardia and the dizziness. Even could not operate my cash register at work because I was always dizzy. This drug made me pee all the time. Became hopeless. This kept me away from my school, my work, weight lifting, and other life opportunities. Made me an easy target to be taken advantage of. How these substances are considered medicine shows the great flaw in out society. I used to me smarter, healthier, and an active individual. How this drug is supposed to help M 22 6 months

 4  Mood stabilizer I've been impotent for six years, I've gone from 153 healthy athletic build to a fat 221 pounds. I never have energy to do anything. I've lost interest in everything. I'm constantly burned out. Never have any energy. I was happier being manic and smoking weed, yet B.S. and government love to control veterans. This shift has sucked for six years yet it makes me stable yet it's made me gain 70 pounds and has shrunk a huge dick. M 32 60 months

 1  Wrongful court order 400mg x 2mos; 117mg x 10mos. It is a chemical lobotomy, permanent weight gain and loss of motivation and happiness, lack of ability to sleep, and mild-disassociation with reality. I pissed off the medical doctor who evaluated me in Phoenix where the acccs system is abused by the police department and local citizens. They do this to everyone for non-compliance/being argumentative. They treat everyone with mental health for fun because apparently they think it is free and cheap or something. So now your SS & MC and Medicaid taxes pay for my health insurance for life. Horrible drug, should be eliminated. Has strong and permanent side effects including loss of motivation ambition and permanent weight gain. Mild disassociation with reality. M 32 1 years

 1  Bipolar Horrible. Nothing to say anymore, dumber, fatter, weaker, loss of emotion. Heart pain, hurts to stand on feet, back pain, constant runny nose, sneeze all the time..memory is so shot. Sometimes I lose balance, had some painful acne. Hospitalized because I went blind with white light whenever I stood. Almost got lost in the parking lot because I couldn't see anything. Also sometimes have trouble putting words together, and I have brain farts where I forget the numbers or facts even though it was a couple seconds ago. Can't learn new materials no matter how many times I go over it. All I want to do is sleep, work is such a chore and I do barley any hours. Now I forget my dreams minutes after having them. Floods your brain receptors and stops them from firing, so brain dead is a literal statement. Also I developed such anxiety, I always think the worst is going to happen. Never had it before the injection. Can't swim anymore my arm doesn't contract and retract on the left side. As well I got OCD like it's so annoying, I always count like 2,4,6,8,10...all day. The only time I don't is when I sleep and I can't help it. Parents and psychiatrist forced me to take this since day one I never wanted to take it. Violated for life! It has a long half life but that's just blood not fat any your brain is %60 fat so I feel the dumbness lasts forever. Yo f**k this I used to be amazing at rapping, now I can't for the life of me. Literally disables you, at such a loss. M 23 12 months

 1  bipolar disorder heart palpatations,delusions, short term memory loss, flat, staring into space, hopelessness, trouble thinking,weight gain and puffiness This drug has taken so much from me. My doctor tells me that it could not cause the side effects that I am havind and keeps prescribing more drugs. I was outgoing and intelligent prior to this med but now cant keep up with casual conversations. I feel like a zombie and after starting invega sustenna got a new diagnosis of schizoaffetive disorder. I have heard the damage caused by this med can be permanent and I am currently looking for a new doctor to get off of it. I want to feel my emotions again and be able to socialise instead of isolating due to feeling like a complete zombie. If you are considering this medication, dont do it and if you are on this med having any of these side effects my heart goes out to you. Be strong and fight to get your life back.

 1  Criminal act +previous mental healt Lack of brain activity, inability to make conversation. Overwhelmingly lonely, loss of interest in all previous interests. No libido. Loss of quality emotions except frustration and fear and a sense of hopelessness. Intolerable restlessness. Led me into a period of heavy drinking and drug use trying to find something pleasurable to satisfy me. Very very poor quality sleep. Although this medication became over time just unbearable and the sense of wanting to escape it, feeling imprisoned in my own body I did deserve it. A compassionate doctor newly assigned over my care could see it was leading to suicide. I still view the injection as a form of punishment for the financial cost of the vandalism I did. Yet after going through this, I wouldn't recommend or wish it on anyone. Schizophrenia must be a truly unbearable illness to have for anyone to call this medication a relief from it. I'm glad I went through this experience to be the better person and so lucky to be who I am today yet I haven't come out unscathed. After a year now on nothing, my emotions still aren't back properly, I wish I could feel exuberant joy, and out flowing love, proper compassion, I only have a sense of it and a small portion in comparison to the way I was. I wish I could repent and feel sorrow toward my God but I feel cut off. M 46 4 days

 4  Schizoaffective Lingering soreness around injection site. Increased appetite, some excessive sleeping. A bit lazy still, but started going to exercise classes again. Has helped greatly. My family says my humor and personality are really coming back after a 10+ year absence. My ability to concentrate has improved. I can now sit and watch a movie or tv show. Reading books is also now a part of my routine. Shot keeps me from relapsing and skipping daily medication. Expense for the shot is so great that if I didn't qualify for our state healthcare plan...I would probably be homeless, in jail or a victim of crime due to poor decision-making. F 28 6 months

 1  hearing voices in my head Dumbed down, can't think rationally, low sex drive, blank mind, etc. The list goes on... Invega Sustenna fried my brain. I'm 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. Therefore, I have nothing to say at any given time. I don't know if its the meds, or if its the schizophrenia. I can't speak up for myself. I feel dumb now, and it feels like a permenant disaster. Invega Sustenna ruined me. I used to be smart, and now its like I know nothing. I can't get a girlfriend, and its frightning because it feels 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. Im unable to express myself. 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, because my intelligence was compromised and I have major cognitive impairment. 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

 1  confusion and frightened of things My brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia but later our family found out he got West Nile virus or Encephalitis. He became sick after going cat fishing with me and a friend. We got bit up by mosquitos really bad. I had at least over 50 bites on me and i know my brother had a lot more. He got sick a day later and was sick for a couple of weeks and after the sickness is when he got the confusion. My friend and I never got sick so we never relized it would be from mosquitos. He went back to work so I thought he was better but he later got sever headaches and statred to act weird. His work called the cops on him. The mental hospital forced him with injections. He was screaming to me to save him because the injections were killing him. He begged me so much. He later died at home because they let him out. He still got the shots and then died later. He complained of lots and lots of thing that the shots did to him before he died. I forgot a lot because there were so many but I will list some. He said he couldn't see, ears ringing, bad head aches, dizzy, couldn't breath, stomache pains, arm pains, a horrible sick feeling, and he would constantly say the shot was poison and it was killing him. I have no idea why they didn't stop it. I thought my mother told them to stop but she never otherwise I would of. I regret it every day. I know the shot killed him. They are killers. M 28 4 months

 1  miss diagnosed Why would any one descibe side effects that is longer than this page. There is no side effects. It is what the drug does. A side effect would be maybe helping the person and nobody hardley gets that side efect. They get all 100 of the other deadly ones. My son was misdiagnosed and didn't even need the drug. Now how sick is that. The fastest trip to the grave. The devil himelf said this is my job and not the humans. This and Risperdal Constsa shot will kill like no other. I would say ask my son but he is no longer on this earth from the sickest killing of a human. The psychiatrist was out of his mind and not my son. I beg all parents not to evn attemt these drugs if you even have a slightest care for your kids. M 20 6 months
