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.
Avatar m tn Weight gain is a known side effect of Invega. The second concern you mentioned is a potentially rare adverse side effect of Invega. It would be essential to call these concerns to the attention of your psychiatrist so they could see what the potential cause was and decide what the appropriate follow up was within their professional discretion.
912156 tn?1242874384 oops, forgot to say that the odd thing about your symptoms is that they have lasted even after all the drug is gone from your system. That would seem to mean that some damage was done, but on the other hand maybe there's some weird and very unusual other effect going on. I'd guess your best hope is to find others who might have undergone the same thing as you, either through J & J or maybe the FDA. Good luck to you. P.S. SSRIs can have lots of unexpected effects, too.
Avatar m tn Well will wonders never cease? Are we surprised about the information? I guess they had to spend money on something after they couldn't buy donuts for doctors offices anymore.
Avatar n tn The sites I have found all back link to the company site that makes invega, it shows all the symptoms, side effects etc... but does not indicate how long it takes to get the drug out of the body nor how long (after discontinued use) the symptoms begin to fade. Has anybody experienced these symptoms?
Avatar m tn Hello, Invega sustenna may cause difficulty maintain and erection, decreased sex drive, impotence, or difficulty having an orgasm. But these side effects are not permanent and should go away one the medicine is stopped. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar f tn Well,I'm not on the Invega anymore.Seemed too strong for me.Now I'm on Lamictal,Seroquel,Xanax,and Propranolol.I just had my thyroid tested and I'm borderline Hyperthyroid.I have read that either Bipolar can cause Hyperthyroid,Hyperthyroid can cause Bipolar,or it just plain mimics Bipolar disorder.Now I have to make an appt with an endocrinologist to see what to do about this.Has anyone else heard of this before?
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.
Avatar f tn Weight gain is one of the documented side effects of invega sustenna; if you are on it, you aren't going to lose weight unless you work hard at it. I suggest you talk to your doctor and see what kind of weight-loss plan you can devise. Also, one form of exercise that does chip off the weight slowly but surely, is walking. If workouts are too much or too hard to keep up, try building a walking pattern into every day. (Park further from your work or school and walk the difference, etc.
Avatar n tn For the past couple years I have been on paliperidone which is generic for invega which I know can cause extreme weight gain. Couple that with my increasingly poor eating habits, I definitely ballooned in weight. For about the past two months I have gone on a heavy calorie restriction that I know is deemed to be unsafe and unhealthy. I want to say now that with respect, I would prefer you focus on my question at hand and not about telling me to eat more food than I currently do. Thanks.
Avatar n tn My therapis talked about adding an anti depressent in the future if I want so im wondering which one works for yall? I dont want one with sexual side effects(negative) she recommended wellbutrin. How should I feel on this if I decide to take it?
Avatar n tn How does one switch from Risperdal Consta (50mg Q2wks) to Invega Sustenna??
1069565 tn?1255536393 Your symptoms of involuntary movements in the arms, hands, and legs and achiness, headache, drowsiness, decrease sex drive etc are side effects of Invega that you are taking. Headache, drowsiness, decrease sex drive etc are also seen with Celexa. Your symptoms are probably due to improper control of the bipolar disorder and taking medications with similar side effects. You need a change of medication. Please discuss with your doctor and ask for a change in prescription. This may help.
Avatar f tn t know about the other meds but I take depakote and I found it helped with my anxiety and stabilised my mood quite quickly, i think it was simply because of the sedation side effects though..and the dose. Are you experiencing high anxiety at the moment? Could you be breathing fast? sometimes we get pins and needles and tingly sensations when we hyperventilate. Hope you feel better soon!
20914619 tn?1637171288 m a 37 yo female and have been diagnosed as schizoaffective with bipolar features, and in May was started on Invega 224 mg injectable and 12 mg oral once daily along side Topomax 10mg once daily. But since being prescribed the Invega in May I've gained significant weight (30 lbs) being the heaviest I've ever been in my life. My hair is growing in darker and coarser, and I've been battling extreme depression. Usually an active person I cant seem to motivate myself to do anything.
Avatar m tn In less than 30 minutes after taking Zoloft, I get these side effects very profoundly. It is interfering with my daily activities, and my temperature seems to fluctuate easier. It lasts almost all day, but it subsides as the day goes. My guess is that My medication, and it might be Zoloft, is producing these bad effects. I think serotonin syndrome is a reasonable idea. My idea is to try to only take 50mg tomorrow instead of 100, and see what happens. Thoughts?
539549 tn?1315981662 My mood haas fianally improved after being horribly voulatle and easily upset. But for some reason I can't sit still. Its really bad I feel like I'm having some kind of anxiety or something and that I'm constantly pacing or walking back and forth. Its like even when I was sitting down to study my flash cards with my mom I was just rocking back and forth on the floor cuz I couldn't sit still for even five minutes. This has been going on for almost three or four days now.

Avatar f tn Its important to distinguish temporary movement disorders (extra pyramidal side effects) from permanent movement disorders such as tardive dyskinesia as temporary movement disorders are very common with antipsychotics and its essential they be treated or they can be quite painful and debilitating.
5700140 tn?1372651764 I been burning since 10 pm this happens every night goes on for hrs my anxiety is rising and I just stop burping..What is the cause of this? I take lamictal for seizures,xaxan invega, it is my meds do this,seizures??
Avatar n tn the hospital took me off prestic, seroquel and lithium and the neurologist put me on lamital for both seizures and depression. also, i am taking invega and ativan for anxiety. the reason for my seizures is because of medicine. i lost my memory, use a cane and bit my tongue badly. caution: beware of anti-depressents--they can lower your seizure threshold. thank god i am getting better.
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 f tn The reason was that the stimulant drug would affect the wrong part of the brain as well as the target area in his case, and when that happens, concentration improves, but there would have also been side effects of angry outbursts and rage. It turned out they HAD tried a stimulant drug for a short time, and that's exactly the reaction the little boy had! I have never been on a true ADHD stimulant, but was tried on Topamax as a different sort of migraine prophylaxis medicine.

Avatar m tn I was wondering what effects occur in the male body as a result of shrinking gonads. Does it affect T levels in the body?
