User Reviews for Invega oral

I wouldn't wish this drug on my worst nightmare. Pretty sure it destroyed my ability to have orgasms and gave me severe anxiety -uncontrolled movements, etc. Only when I stopped taking the drug and it had a chance to exit my system did this TERRIBLE anxiety subside! I feel like my brain has been re-wired, having zero interest in sex, or possibly even being able to reach climax impossible. Yes it did help with hallucinations, but NOT WORTH IT IN MY BOOK!

It calms my moods, relativizes thoughts importance. However it makes me sleep 12 hrs a day and causes vivid dreams also makes you gain weight. I experienced lower back pain incapacity of remembering words. In the bonus side it calms your mind and doesnt let you fly away with thoughts.

This medicine is actually a terrible thing if your taking this stop its not helping you at all your being told it does so your mind rationalizes what your body is injesting much like a tylennol but in all actuality its absolutely frightening if your taking this medicine it actually means you've likely pissed life off and now life wants you "corrected" or dead whichever happens first i was taking this medicine by court order because my mom had me evaluated after i made one mistake with the law i know right talking about wierd ass parents i havent been in trouble with the law sense.... in fact im in college and going to school to be nurse however this medicine at low dosage has no effect at the higher dosages which they can prescribe 21 mg think on this if they can prescribe it someone is taking it.... however when i took 21mg i wound up losing control of all functions of my body if this drug can shutdown your body functions temporarily in one dose what is it doing to your body over type this "medicine" is actually injesting "death" if death is your thing go for it if its not stop immediately while going to nursing school you learn about compounds if you compound this dosage over time you will be increasing your chance of alzheimers cronus and the ability to use your ligaments TRUST ME IF YOUR ON THIS STOP and the guy who diagnosed this to you is likely just using you as a test subject for this tablet prescription it is not fully tested in anyway Read More Read Less

My main complaint about this medicine is the weight gain.Other than that it is a good medicine

I decided to try and this is the results.Medicine causes weight gain, rapid heart beat, sexual dysfunction, this medicine is crap

Where to start , works okay. Side effects are weight gain, and sensitivity to hot weather.

I was diagnosed with "schizophrenia" at the age of 35, so quite late. Invega (6mg) makes the voices in my head completely disappear or preventing them. Besides, bizarre delusions, like equipment that can read your mind, are eliminated. Taking Invega gives you a calm mind, thoughts don't ramble. Furthermore angry feelings are decreased. Because of the gradually and continuous release of the medicine (new release system), one doesn't feel a drug boost - drugged. Now the side-effects : I need more sleep, sleep longer. I feel tired, less fit. Taking Invega for the first time might give you nightmares. And you might drool when you get higher doses. Sometimes a light headache can occur more frequently. When you stop with Invega (or Risperdal) I experienced a little bit of strange movements with tongue/mouth/jaws. This stopped after a few months. And I think I got heartburn (reflux problems) from it. Invega is very effective diminishing the positive symptoms. But I'm not sure about it, when it comes to negative symptoms. Invega makes me lazy, and less motivated - indifferent. I'm not sure about the following fact, but I think it's true : Risperdal gave me a bit of depersonalized feeling (increased it) - like there was a (virtual glass) barrier between me and the outside world ("cloud" in my head). Invega, resembles Risperdal, but didn't gave me that depersonalization / derealization feeling at all!! I don't feel completely OK yet, but for now Invega provides me with the means to manage my life quite well, without help from other people. 3 mg Invega as maintenance dose is still quite effective. I still long for a complete recovery, although extremely rare when one has schizophrenia. Read More Read Less

Moon face blank look babbling

I have been manic and crashing with delusional thoughts for the past eight months and finally went to a new pdoc. She put me on welbutrin, but I was still terribly sick. I was really ready to give up, and go to a hospital. Then she started me on Invega 3 mg every night and I have NEVER felt this good, and I am 57, have had bp all of my life. I quit smoking several months ago, and have had two months of acute bursitis in both hips, so no exercise. So I have gained about 5 lbs, and think it's the combo of those three things. At this point, with the way I feel now, I can tolerate a little chubbiness!Read More Read Less

This medication has changed not only my life, but the entire family dynamic in my house. Throughout my childhood I struggled with ADHD, anger, aggression, depression, PDD-NOS, and even spent some time in the hospital. The change after 3mg of Invega once a day was almost immediate. I just love life now, i'm always happy and I laugh at everything! It's a really big deal to me because I feel like I struggled all my life until now.

My son started invega to supplement zyprexa. He broke out into a severe rash after 3 doses of 3 mg. Had to be taken off.

I was on Risperdal for many years. Looking back after being on the Invega...I wasn't me. I feel like I'm not in a fog any more or have to sleep all the time. I can concentrate, I think clearly, I can write (I'm a college student so have many papers to write), I have my interests back. I love this medication. It as changed my life so much. I actually enjoy doing things now...being with the family...interacting with everyone!! Thank you so much for finding this medication. In all the years I have had to deal with my Bi-Polar I have never felt more like myself then I do now (just without all the bad stuff!). Oh, and a nice side effect is that I have lost 17 pounds which I put much more then that on when I was on the Risperdall. This is a wonderful medication in so many ways!!Read More Read Less

weight gain is only side effect---no insurance buy from Canada online!!! Greatest country in the world -- we cannot take care of our sick ????

I have been on numerous medications for my condition and Invega Oral has been the most effective, with the least amount of negative side-effects, particularly no morbid weight gain, prevalent in every other medication I've been prescribed.

This drug has helped me tremendously. My racing thoughts were unbearable at times, but they've been controlled since starting Invega 2 months ago (9 mg)

CAUSED WEIGHT GAIN HIGH CHOLESTROL VERY HIGH TRIGLICERIDES

My son has been on it for 2 months Continues to talk to himself and laugh hysterically, elevated mood Other symptoms better - paranoia, delusions, pacing, Says he feels better and it's working, need to give it more time Very easy to use, weight gain

horrible did not work at all, greatly increased bipolar psychosis

Current maintenance dosage 3 mg (was 6mg) Invega. After taking Invega my positive symptoms vanished completely after a number of weeks, furthermore I don't get an unreal sense (depersonalization) which was the case with Risperdal. Unfortenately I got the following side-effects (discussed with my physician): - weight gain (8 kilo's) - sometimes strange expression around mouth, stiffness - tiredness/weakness, need more sleep - intense dreaming, sometimes nightmares - harder to breath through nose - increase of ALAT blood values (80) - dizziness after sudden activity For now the positive effects outweight the negative effects.
