UPDATE: FDA acknowledged our Invega Sustenna drug-safety appeal.
On January 14, 2025, my wife Jodi and I sent a formal drug safety warning to then-HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and then-FDA Commissioner Robert Califf, asking the FDA to take immediate action regarding Invega Sustenna (paliperidone palmitate) and related paliperidone products. The FDA’s Division of Drug Information (CDER) responded and confirmed our letter was forwarded inside CDER for further consideration, with follow-up only if they need more information. 
Why this matters: families deserve real oversight, transparent risk communication, and a system that treats adverse-event reports like the fire alarms they are, not like junk mail.
And to those experiencing negative effects this drug, fans of Rob Reiner, and anyone looking for answers after Nick Reiner: if medication questions are part of the story, the safest path is facts and documentation, not rumors. Preserve timelines, request records through the proper legal channels, and report suspected adverse events through FDA’s reporting pathways (MedWatch). Even one report can become a data point the system can’t ignore.
If you’ve experienced serious side effects, “rebound” episodes, or troubling outcomes tied to long-acting injectable antipsychotics, don’t stay silent. Report it. Document it. Push for accountability.

By the way, rawbanana was one of only a few people that left comments on the U.S. FDA website about Invega Sustenna. Can't see the date on the above letter, but perhaps those few comments put pressure on the FDA to finally respond to the Moyer family. https://www.regulations.gov/document/FDA-2007-D-0369-2225/comment

Thank you for sharing your recovery progress. Do you feel you have to slowly rebuild your old mind back? Did you have a lot of anxiety after smoking? Invega causes lack of motivation and weed sometimes does the same, how did you cope?

WEed helps remove invega from the body as many who have recovered from it said. I would suggest smoking it.

I’ll probably smoke it every now and then but not regularly.
To be honest, when I was high I was actually more motivated to do things I was putting off like cleaning and organising so I managed to get quite a bit of that done.
No anxiety after smoking but I did freak out a little bit in the beginning which stopped and became an enjoyable high once I was relaxed and getting stuff done, used to love getting high and looking up at the stars so I did that and it brought me the same joy it used to, it was nice
 
I’m going to an appointment with my psychiatrist today, I need answers. Four months has passed since my last injection and I feel identical as when I was on my injections. I don’t feel any dopamine hits throughout the day, but I’m still drinking that coffee out of habit to try and wake it up. I’m scared out of my mind that how I’m feeling now is just going to be my new normal. Maybe I’ve already recovered from invega and I’m stuck like this. I hope not, but it seems that way as I’m not noticing any improvements what so ever.

I think the last things to recover could vary per person.
Motivation hasn’t quite fully recovered for me but has got better in the sense that early on I had to really push myself to do even basic tasks like brush teeth but now I just get up and do it.
Endorphins from exercise started to recover around month 4 I think.
Full sexual function around month 6

Don’t let the psych gaslight you into thinking that what you’re experiencing is a condition returning and not the effects of the injection cause that’s what they do. I remember month 3-4 being really tough so just hang in there. This isn’t going to be a new normal, you will recover!! Just need to give it time. You’re not stuck like this and you will get through this, just be aware that the psych might try to dismiss what you’re going through from the injections.

Yup that was before i was instutionalized against my will in 2019 i think it was.

How do you not know what year you were injected?
And if you were here since the first thread in 2013 reading about everyone's experiences on this drug, then why did you agree to get injected in (you think) 2019? If you knew how bad it is?

Because my memory at the time was not great i had full on psychosis and cotards syndrome. But i am pretty sure it was around april of 2019

I didnt really agree to be injected but the injections where better then getting no help for psychosis at all in the psych ward. I was not exactly thinking in there
 
What the actual fuck. I was told invega should be out of my system in three months, what is this bullshit. They can inject me with something they have no idea the long term consequences. He told me that Invega has no side effects also! They are trying to blame the fact how I’m feeling is because of psychosis. I’m lost for words. No wonder people just opt out on this drug, as you get no support and they divert the conversation away from the injection like it’s secondary or something. No the reason I feel the way I do is from Invega. I know what it feels like

Almost everyone has a similar experience. Mine told me it should be 5 months, blamed all the side effects on my mental condition, said some other patients were okay with the results. Then said how the original monkey psychiatrist couldnot have been wrong about having me injected because he is so qualified. Any reference to examples of other people who had same side effects as me was treated as non sense. This is also a culture of people who take any question or argument against their judgement as an insult, get crazy mad and try to punish you for saying it. ..dont be angry...focus on recovery. Real scientists are interested in research and truth, not psychiatrists. ..
 
i am more traumatized due to the behavior of a mental health worker , he was eager for me to get both the first and second injection. He knew the system and effects of the drugs and he just wanted to "shut down a sucker like me". His voice shook when he spoke to me, then completely denied that he knew anything about my injections, denied many things he said to me. He was the architect of all that happened. Everything about his behavior was off. Everything in my body was telling me that i should not do what he was telling me to, but he kept enticing and insisting. If i had given it more thought i probably would still have my life. I will never view people the same again. I will never trust people again. Autistic people trust too easily thus are considered suckers. I witnessed the most horrifying face of humanity. An experience that taught me about the real nature of people, but at the cost of me losing my entire existence. I was seeking help to heal from trauma caused by a different set of monsters, but the person i ended up infront of was also a monster under the mask. He wanted to see my suffering and downfall, which is something that he is probably proud of.

That sucks man. What was their reasoning for you to have the injections, if you weren’t in a psychosis. I was in a genuine psychosis that was drug induced but still the measure of Invega being used was overkill. I have autism as well and this medication has amplified all the negative aspects of my condition.
