I don’t get it I weigh 108lbs but Invega Sustenna changed my facial structure so much and made me gain fat in weird areas I look nothing like my previous self. I hope ppl know on here who are trying to lose weight just because you lose the weight it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to go back to your previous self at all. That’s a warning.

I gained fat in my face as well.
 
Hey you all, i talked to dr anne blake tracy . She said if you are on 2 meds you should taper off the 2 meds at the same time. Not one After the other like i thought. If you have been on a med for 5 years 1.5 years is enough withdrawal time. You can count 1.5 years for every 5 years

Relax, a few injections aren’t going to change your bone structure in such short amount of time.

And the face fat thing, show me somebody with a ripped six pack and bloated face. It doesn’t happen. Maybe a few unlucky people, but it has nothing to do with this drug, it’s genetic.

Dude just provided evidence. It can effect bone structure.

When should recovery start? Have you been on invega and recovered?

3 months is probably a little too early for recovery. I wouldn’t get your hopes up for a recovery that early. I took invega for 4 months and I still haven’t recovered after almost 10 months.

It's probably to early to recover fully but i did start to recover after 3 months. My sex drive came back after 3 months and my anhedonia started to go away around them to. However other things like my attension span didnt come back until about a year later or so.

It’s not gonna do anything noticeable to the bone structure in a year or two be reasonable. I’m not saying this to argue but why create unnecessary panic? Do you blame them for not believing in the real grievances like anhedonia when we cry wolf about this kind of nonsense?

It’s a forum, sort of the point to be discussing issues. I was 100% respectful to you and I have the right to my own opinion. <edited out unnecessary comments - SMod>

10 to 15 times more concentration in bone compared to blood is no joke

My facial structure has definitely changed. It’s very sad and I only had the injection for 5 months

Doesnt zyprexa converts you into a fat f*ck ?

Not me my gut is almost gone. But i have been watching what i eat and lifting weights 3 times a week now since i went on it. Basically if you take in less calories then you burn you will lose weight. Watching how many carbs you eat is also important to

face bloating is a side effect of invega so is face deformation enough posts on reddit and other forums discussing warped bones and bloated face. Antipsychotics get stored in the bone marrow and can influence bone growth and maintanence they also supress the immune system in bone marrow

I also experienced facial bloating as you can clearly see:

We understand your point that if you get lean enough you won't carry facial fat. I think you're missing the point that the way your metabolism, hormones and facial fat distribution changes on invega doesn't allow you to get that lean or ripped.

No. Why would you blame the patient for a psych not believing in proven side effects. The psychs have your close-minded attitude toward the med, that's the only issue

It's not panic. Just because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it didn't happen to anyone. You have the right to your opinion, but your opinion looks ridiculous if someone shows you the research you asked for and you choose to disbelieve and disregard it. If you don't have an open mind, don't ask for research.
