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 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 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 n tn How does one switch from Risperdal Consta (50mg Q2wks) to Invega Sustenna??
912156 tn?1242874384 I too though there was something seriously wrong with me. Taking the Invega might have triggered this latest round of anxiety / symptoms. During my breakdown, I would get dizzy / lightheaded anytime I stood up. I spent 2 weeks lying on the couch watching the Golden Girls. Also, if you are still taking the Lexapro, lightedheadedness upon standing is a common side-effect of this medication. Trust your tests and your doctors. However, it might be worth taking another look at your thyroid levels.

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 n tn s only 2 options which are Invega and the other one I think is rispidol which she basically said invega converts into that or vise versa so basically they said I'm stuck on this one medication and it's been making me heavily depressed I've been having face twitches and leg jerks towards night time. As well as sensations going through my body everytime something stress related happens or even a muscle twitch could set that off.
912156 tn?1242874384 Hi 7 months ago i was given a drug called invega that is time released and i was instructed to cut it n half and take it wich almost killed me. This drug is known for causing arythmias by prolongation of the QT interval. I have since stoped taking the invega. I dont take any drug, not even asprin.
Avatar m tn i always try to listen to feedback from patients rather than doctors - they aren't the sufferers and their experience isn't life experience its purely clinical for them. I want to ask how many of you really benefit from taking medication? I have had Bi-Polar for 19 years now and Ive been filled up on every drug to hit the market - all they have ever done is to turn me into a zombie and give me untold side effects!!! for e.g. i am easily 15-20kgs overweight thanks to medications.
20914619 tn?1637171288 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 n tn I started to take invega because risperidone was making me gain a lot of weight. I changed but I can't lose that weight. I was already taking sertraline I still take it. I stopped having my period when on invega and Pregnancy is not on the table already done the test. Can anyone help me?

I get at the worst on the weekends when everything is winding down from my week that is stressfull. just don't think its the meds doing it to me. and why should I be differnt than I have been before I lose it and yell alot but that is me.
Avatar f tn I am on an invega shot for my schizo affective disorder but cannot find a doctor that will treat me for adhd and because of the symptoms of my adhd I have developed a substance abuse problem in an attempt to self medicate and fight the anxiousness and boredom that I always feel....I need help but no doctor is willing to help me...
Avatar n tn HEy guys Ive been on lamictal for a while now and invega and ive been doing pretty good, Id say about 70 percent of where I feel I should be. I still feel a lil sad at times but overall Im in a constructive mindset. 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?
912156 tn?1242874384 285lbs and i smoked a pack a day till just recently. 5 mos. ago i took a drug named Invega wich is an antipsycotic but was given to me for bipolar disorder. This drug is a revoloutionary drug in that field in that it is a time released capsule of palpharidone wich should never be crushed, chewed, or cut before taking. Unfortunately I didnt know this at the time.
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 one is withdraw symptoms from the lowet dosage as you taper down. Two is the brains struggle with the absence of the drug. If you were one of the unfortunate few who experience Brain scratching or water also call the brains apps in correlation with moving your head or shifting your eyes from left to right, I have great compassion for you. My psychiatrist has taught me how to break open the 37.5 mg capsules and separate the actual tablets. I am going down one level every two weeks.
Avatar f tn I,ve prayed but I was on injections of the highest dose of Invega only because I rejected taking olanzapine because I am a mum.
