 1  Forced in Hospital Blurred vision, painful acne, joint and foot pain, akathisia, heart arrhythmia and elevated rate. Muscle pain and weakness, major weight gain +40 lbs. Sexual dysfunction. Loss of motivation, fatigue, anhedonia, major depression, suicidal thoughts. All of these problems except for akathisia and arrythmia are persisting 5 months after last injection. Doctors are giving this seriously powerful drug out like candy to people that have no business being on it. If you're not seriously psychotic and this shot is given to you, you WILL suffer worse than ever before. There is no relief either, as the dopamine receptors blocked by it are responsible for how the human brain and body responds to ALL OTHER DRUGS. They either won't work or the effects will be drastically altered. The drug will linger in your body for a year+ if given a high dosage. It should be a crime to produce a drug that lasts this long, anyone that has problems with it is in trouble for a long time. A mental prison sentence until it evacuates and may even take longer to recover since the receptors are so messed up. Unbelievable, really. M 35 1 weeks

 1  Compelled by family and hospital I don't feel like doing anything. The bed is my comfort zone. I live alone and just sweeping, mopping and doing the dishes is a mountain to climb. On my previous drug Seroquel although I put on over 40 lbs, I cooked, did the household chores, crocheted, did online shopping and stayed interested in life. Now I hate dressing up and I hate driving. I used to be a safe driver now I am an erratic one. All that the psychiatrists wish to hear of this drug is that it is a great one with no side effects. I think Invega should be banned. F 62 5 months

 5  Schizophrenia Shoting pains in arms after injection. Lumps on buttocks at injection site after injection. This drug worked great for me! It took 2 months to get rid of the voices and paranoia and I stabilized and have been stable for over a year now! It helps with the negative symptoms of schizophrenia also. With this medication I was able to hold and apartment and volunteer job and drive a car for a whole year. F 26 10 months

 1  Forced Most disgusting drug ever created. Was forced 2 shots in a week because of a BPD due to stress and was fine before this poison entered my brain and body. Two months have passed and am suffering from anhedonia, sore feet legs and ankles with the strength of an eighty year old. I am also very depressed with little willpower and feel like I'll never be the same as I was before... No interest in anything I used to love, feeling hopeless. I also still get suicidal feelings from time to time. I don't take any other meds and never had before. There should be a class action lawsuit against Janssen for all the people that have suffered and basically lost their lives because of Invega. M 34 1 days

 2  Schitzo-affective Disorder / Depression Exhaustion to the point of not being able to handle daily responsibilities. I would go a week or so and then have another 3-4 day spell where I was so tired I had to hold on to the wall to go to the rest room, catatonic sleeping for days on end.. My bp down 72/40. Lactation, facial swelling, the same "so stupid I can't think of words" and "heck, I don't even care if I answer you so I'll just sit there and stare." Complete careless/while hopeless outlook, weight gain. No sex drive. Don't care if I'm homeless,... makes me want to give up and get SSI if I have to do this forever. No joy, no anxiety, no anything... just tired. One day period. I swear, I have the same side effects. This is truly outrageous. I was told I had to take this shot or never see my toddler again, so I agreed even though anti-psycs always make me tired. My bp down 72/40. Doc said it was interacting with Suboxone... until I found this site. Always wanting to put me in withdrawal. My halucs/delus did get much better though and I have started to feel better just a few days past my missed dose. Sex drive and period coming back almost immediately, as with the psychosis. :( And this is one of the few medications that I was able to decrease my Sub dose instead of tripling it. F 36 45 days

 1  I was made and I was fine A SLOW DEATH! Too many pains. I had nothing wrong with me health wise before this. I can't get out of bed because the more I move the dizzier I get and the sicker I get. I can't hardly breathe or catch my breath. My eye sight is going in and out. How can they do this to me? Nobody will help me. I could't go back to work because i couldn't even hardly walk or even stand. I can't watch TV because of my eyes. It is driving me insane. I was forced a shot because I wouldn't take the meds.I just got in a fight with family and they used this tactic to get back at me. This is the worst cruelty in the world being forced to take a drug that does nothing but harm you. I can't take it there is so many pains and they keep getting worse and I haven't had a shot in 8 months. I had no one to help me so I was screwed and the psychiatrist had his way with me. He used me as if I was his slave. I begged for him to stop and he wouldn't. The Devil will get them in the end for their torture. M 21 4 months
