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.
Avatar n tn There are some websites that tell you about medications giving you the affects it has on the body, with all the info. You can put in medication side effects, or drug information and pull up sites. I just check on a med by doing that.
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 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 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 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?
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 n tn How does one switch from Risperdal Consta (50mg Q2wks) to Invega Sustenna??
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.
912156 tn?1242874384 The doctor prescribed 3mg capsules of invega once daily along with I think 10mg lexapro and told me to se the nurse on my way out who gave me 6mg samples of invega and instructed me to cut them in half. The following Monday I started both drugs.
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?
Avatar m tn In July 2008 I switched over from Zoloft and Invega to Wellbutrin and Cymbalta. At that time, these were my only medications. In August 08, when I stood up from my chair, my legs had terrible tremors. They were so bad that I had to hold onto the desk. This still happens today. I also experience leg tremors when descending stairs - but not going up. I get minor tremors while going from a standing to a sitting position. My right hand has started to tremor - kind of fast but mild.
Avatar n tn Celexa is a more preferred drug for OCD at a low dose for children. This drug seems to work the best with the fewest side effects. If you don't mind what type of OCD subject is it?
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.
Avatar m tn m not sure if Zofran is used in children but you could ask. Tetrabenzene is used but that has some serious side effects so that might not be for children either. But there are other medications as well. Clonidine in patch form (Catapres) is especially helpful for tic like motions (tardive tourreticism which is a variant of tardive dyskinesia I have as well). I am on Tenex which is helpful as well. I believe both of those are used in children.
Avatar n tn My son just called and asked if I could drive him and some friends to the ice skating rink and I sadly had to tell him to ask dad. I heard a bit of sadness in his voice (he is 11) since he and my other children know that mom is always the one to go to for things.Thankfully my husband agreed to drive them but I feel guilty because I know hubby is not going to pick up the slack when it comes to the kids and I am sure that they know this too.
