You need to learn some manners and not call random people “$ucking stupid” Invega Sustenna did a good job at knocking me out psychosis and it’s held me stable for a little over a year. It just comes with bad side effects. Weight gain and not being able to move my body fast to workout being the most prominent. So I’m looking to switch to a different AP one that’s not associated with “slow movements” like Invega Sustenna is. I’m looking to changing to Geodon and hope it doesn’t have a weight gain effect and doesn’t initiate slow movements and keeps me out psychosis. I’ve been dreaming of a weight neutral AP ever since I’ve started taking APs but the thought of going back into psychosis is very scary.

Not everyone here has psychosis I was completely misdiagnosed

Jezus fucking christ most people complain about not having any improvements for 6 or 8 months straight thats what im afraid about i dont want sudden improvement ....i want gradual improvement... month 3 completely sucks and is way worse than month 2. I want to see some goddamn improvement in month 4 or 5.
If this doesn't happen i kill myself hands down.

I don't give a shit if i can't get high those are worries for later. I just want to feel normal again

I'm wondering if its the drug still being active or brain damage which needs to recover..what a mess

My improvements are gradual and I can say Im not suffering even close to how it was at month 1 stage. But even if they are gradual you will at one point "stonk" in improvements.
 
Had no anxiety for month but now I got it strong and then it went away. Seems like withdrawls. Also got lot of sweating for no reason first time.

I read that it doesn’t have a weight gain effect and read a lot of reviews that it doesn’t effect working or anything like that. It doesn’t say significant weight gain in the side effects and is known to be less of a sedated. You’re the first person who I’ve talked to that’s given it a bad review

No one ever has anything good to say on this site most of you aren’t even mentally I’ll and are complaining that Invega took away your life try actually being sick and having to be on Invega and dealing with the negative effects of the illness and being scared to switch medication in hopes you won’t relapse. Suck it up and go workout, take vitamins be optimistic and wait six months for Invega Sustenna to leave your body completely. I feel like death and have been on it for a little over a year. I have chest pains, eye twitches in a blank fog most of the day, can’t sleep and am 15 pounds overweight and can’t workout I don’t feel like doing a fucking thing and have no hope for the future. Everything fucking sucks and on top of it Invega has made me look way different and I can’t even hold down a fucking conversation. It’s 5:52 pm and I’m in bed miserable.

You know... you're right. I try not to mean to be so opinionated. And that's what these threads need, is more objective answers.

Oh no. Never been on it, and hopefully never will.

I've only used antipsychotics to force me to sleep after speed binges, I use low dose (25-50mg) quetiapine (seroquel) as a sleep aid occasionally.

I've just developed a habit of following this thread. I'm baffled how full of misery it actually is. I gota very good friend who's a schizophrenic an he's on Zyprexa and and few other meds i can't remember. He's decided twice he's healthy enough and doesn't need the drugs anymore. Both times have ended in 2 weeks time him being hospitalized. And every time they've taken him in it's been about 6 months to get him stabilazed and let to leave to home. I also know several people on APs. No one of them would take them if they had a choice. All of them hate what the medication does to them. I just find all this extraordiraly sad.
 
Is it true that a lot of people commit suicide while on Invega? If so can you link stats that say it.

It makes everybody suicidal so chances are high that lot of people but most likely 55% or less commit it. Dont have stats but all people who take Invega are probably considered schizophrenic even if they arent so stats for suicide rate for schizophrenis is 10-55%, invega surely makes it highest. But why is that important to you. There is actualy no proof for this and people who make stats wont bother with this specific Invega issue, instead they just generalise it.

This really at all doesn’t make sense that they can have the right to do that. The United States law written law clearly express and says that they don’t have the right to force injections
 
This Invega misery will still continue if we don’t do anything about it(legally only) by filing a petition against the people who were responsible for this. It’s definitely possible for this to prevent this horrible eternity torture if we file a petition against the government.And not all people who work for the government are corrupt people. In fact I’ve seen many nice,caring,generous,fair people who are judges,lawyers,therapist,cops,nurses,doctors and other types of government jobs and even some psychiatrists like dr. Peter breggin and the psychiatrists in ” alternativetomeds.com” that they only want to help society instead of oppositely what many of you went through😥

Hi, I have been taking Invega Sustenna 150mg monthly injection for 1 year and 2 months now. I have been going through the same shitty feeling the entire time I was on it which is basically periods of really low moods/drowsiness/tiredness/and no motivation to want to do anything 15-20 days after getting injection, then I start feeling a bit better when its near time to get injection again (last 5-10 days), then I get injected again and its back on the rollercoaster. It's been up and down this whole year and I think some people who felt what I felt would possibly commit suicide but that just isn't an option for me... I am going to take a leap and stop taking the injection even though I am being forced to take it by treatment authority but guess what I don't give a shit, this is my body and I should have a say what goes in it especially if its making me feel miserable!

So my question is... how long do I have to be off Invega to feel normal again. I have memories of being a young kid feeling happy when I woke up every morning... I really want that back.

Side note: The meds did take away delusions I use to have even when i was on abilify.... but with the added bonus of making me miserable day and night

I can help you not take this poison and file a petition against the people who were just selfish,egotistical people who not only bothered to be fair to their own written laws but forced mandatory treatments
 
I'm noticing I sweat more recently for no reason, also my back were sweaty yeasterday. Getting random anxiety for short periods of time.
