INVEGA SUSTENNA  (PALIPERIDONE PALMITATE):  This medication is used to treat certain mental/mood disorders (such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder). Paliperidone is an antipsychotic drug (atypical type). It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain. This medication can decrease hallucinations and help you to think more clearly and positively about yourself, feel less agitated, and take a more active part in everyday life.   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 2009-07-31

 1  bipolar psychosis Sexual Disfunction, decreased ejaculation, Increased hallucinations, paranoia, loss of self esteem, desire for more caffeine, nicotine. Although I quit smoking two weeks ago and started nicorette. This is terrible as is the other Janssen products, haldol, risperdal. I have got progressively worse for the past four years and my doctor won't let me try something else. I'm going to have to refuse it soon becaause it is driving me insane. Luckily I have depakote to keep me stable. I want to try abilify which has much better patient reviews. M 42 4 years

 1  Schizophrenia and psychosis Anhedonia (loss of pleasure) Suicidal ideation Hopelessness Akathesia Stiffness of muscles Negative symptoms (loss of sociability, loss of appetite, loss of will/motivation, loss of energy) Nausea Memory problems Loss of creativity Stress Depression Psychosis (delusions, voices, lies) Numbness in head Loss of coordination Slowed cognitive processes/impaired cognitive processes ADHD like symptoms (loss of focus for sustained periods of time) Headaches/brain pain in a sense It practically made my life hell, I feel sorry for anyone taking these drugs and pray that they may find a doctor who specializes in alternative treatments and seek holistic healing from God and natural remedies (orthomolecular, naturopath, homeopath, cognitive behavioural therapy), and other. Thank the Lord I got off this medication, it proved to be a fire too great for me. Not only that, but I became a porn addict and still struggle because of the loss of pleasure, I would not recommend this to anyone. M 20 6 months

 5  Schizophrenia None Before taking this drug, I always felt depressed... All my life, all the time, I felt down... Now I feel normal, it balances the serotonine level in the brain... Have been taking it for 1 year (before that, one year of Risperdal Consta), have to take it for another 3 years, I feel so normal (and not down anymore) that I am afraid to stop it... But we'll see in 3 years M 29 5 years

 3  bipolar This drug is a break through in delivery medicine. Sustenna replaced my Consta Shots. I only have to take one shot a month. Thats equivalent to 30 or more pills a month. There talking about delivering the medicince through an inhaler. I don't think it's in testing for Sustenna, but I read articles about Consta being distributed through inhaling the medicine versus injecting into your arm. The side effects are not fun for the medicine and I hope to not take it much longer. After taking this medicine, there sometimes feels like there is no alternative. The injections are sometimes sacry, but i'm use to them from being on Consta. I some times feel desperate and alone because this drug takes away all your feel good emotions. F 27 6 months

 3  schizophrenia tired, less energy, elevated prolactin, weight gain, depression. Injected into shoulder. Updated version of Risperdal Consta bi weekly. Sustenna only has to be taken every month vs two weeks for Consta. Been on both. Like Sustenna a lot better, because of less injections. It made Consta obsolete to me. M 31 4 months
