Avatar f tn I have worked successfully with a few bipolar children and I love it. I have also just started on tryleptal (300mg in the morning and 300 mg at night. I take it with a few other drugs, and so far I like it very much. If I can answer any questions for you, especially about behavior, please let me know.
Avatar m tn i was on invega for 3 years at 8 mg a day and i was wondering if invega can cause you to gain weight and have blood clots in your legs
Avatar f tn I got on Invega back in Aug 07 and am enjoying a nearly normal life. I also am on Lamictal & Lexapro but I don't think 3 meds are good for everybody. I'd tell your shrink that you need less to get more effect. It might just be temporary but I wouldn't chance it.
Avatar n tn How does one switch from Risperdal Consta (50mg Q2wks) to Invega Sustenna??
Avatar m tn I have been taking invega sustenna (antipsychotic) injection every month for over a year now and since then have no semen coming out when I ejaculate and have no pleasure from the orgasm at all... could this be permanent?
11055444 tn?1414944590 no clinics here...this has made me behave in manners that is not myself....it was on a trial basis with invega,...i hit rock bottom yesterday.. not feeling safe today and pissed off.. i have no privacy.. now i'll end up back in the hospital again, i'm afraid...how could all this happen.. i was fine.. my close cousin passed this last week.. i am overwhelmed with stress and anxiety and they are not so nice about this at our hospital..
Avatar f tn I wanted to know how to loose weight on an antipsychotic like invega sustenna. I have tried fasting I am possibly going to continue it. But I can’t keep workouts consistent.
Avatar f tn As you will know Seroquel is a very calming anti psychotic, whereas Invega is quite agitating, I think by dropping the Invega you will have a lot less side effects ( fingers crossed ) You might feel quite drowsy for a few weeks because of the Seroquel but the extra 50mg he has given you isn't going to be too harsh, my doc usually increases my Seroquel by 100mg. With it being the XR version as well, you will have less drowsiness.
11055444 tn?1414944590 is anyone out there to help me deal with withdrawals from invega 3mg...put on as a trial basis, now can't afford the medicine.. and my xanax was stolen last week.... i have none.. i don't abuse my meds.. never had this problem before.. in a bad state now for several days that keeps getting worse by the day...don't wanna look bad to my dr.. he has helped me with my ptsd...so hurt and don't understand what my head is doing.. the medicine was working.
Avatar n tn Finally, since about year he began giving him INVEGA (paliperidone) injection 50 mg which he is fine with it. The problem is that he has become sperm non-existent as he told me. Will it disappear in case he stop taking the injection after a long period of use???? I am very confused, particularly as he wants to get married and be a father.
912156 tn?1242874384 invega is time released so you cannot cut it in half or chew it. the actual tablet will make it through your digestive system in tact but all the meds will slowly seep out into your system. i am on invega. i am slowly going off it. but not soon enough. i am so sensitive to heat now, and i get the twitches and spasms and my whole body falls asleep but i can still feel pain, het and cold etc. but i can't move.
20914619 tn?1637171288 ve struggled with depression in the past l, but wonder if this is all related to the Invega in some form or another. I'm having my thyroid checked with my physician next month to rule out any problems... but I have read Invega may cause thyroid issues. If this is so, is it reversible once you stop taking Invega? I'm very concerned! Please help.

Avatar m tn My blood sodium has been low in the past which is in part responsible for my past seizures, AND the medicine for my past hallucinations did not work very well. Now I take salt twice daily to help prevent seizures in addition to the medicine. The hullications went away within 30 minutes after taking salt in April. So, I am wondering if low sodium could have been a caused to my transient blindness?

Avatar n tn My wife was put on Invega for 7 days while she was in a psychiatric facility (6mg twice a day). She stopped taking it the minute she was released. It's been almost a month since she's had her last dosage. She now has hand tremors and is totally exhausted all the time. I know these are symptoms of the drug.. now long can she expect to have these symptoms? How long does it take for the drug to be completely out of her body?
Avatar f tn Should I stop consuming cannabis with invega sustenna? And if I don’t what are the interactions I was just told it causes sedation.

Avatar f tn It all started with me waking up in the middle of the night and as I was trying to fall back asleep, there were words and visions (sometimes scary) just constantly flashing in my head and racing. I don't hear anything. It's just thoughts. Ever since then, when I watch TV, I repeat in my head everything they say. When I don't think about it, I stop, but when I remember that I was doing it, I start again. It's making me feel crazy.
Avatar n tn m having depression from an antipsychotic medication called invega. My pharmasist friend told me that it decreases something called dopamine in your brain I'm wondering if getting on anti depressants could help reverse this or perhaps that just touches base on other issues other than what I have reason to be the cause (the invega). Also is it possible to ever feel happy without these medications or do I need something that potent (the antidepressants) to get back to normal?
Avatar m tn I want to get checked out due to a similar drug(invega), my heart rate really accelerates when standing and Im not on my beta blocker. I also have other symptoms.
Avatar m tn hey , i've found that some anti pychotics work in stabilizing the moods but ,the problem is the weight gain and impulsive eating , i'm actually due to see the shrink in a weeks time to see about Ablify and Invega , apparently from two of my friends you don't gain any weight on them so fingers crossed i might be put on one or the other , i don't seem to get any other side effects , except i don't go well on antidepressants for the obvious reasons .
