User Reviews for Invega oral

I take 9 mg of this, and it is a pleasant experience. I feel relief when I take this medication after missing a dose. My thinking becomes clear again, and my agitation goes away completely. I took Risperdal for many years before this, and I've found that they both work well. I'm a male and I haven't had any of the side effects that are listed except for the weight gain. I try to stay on the Mediterranean diet, which keeps my weight just within the normal range.

I have been on Invega 6mg for over 2 1/2 years. I was diagnosed with Bipolar when I was 18 and am now 26. Over the period of 6 years I went through over 10 meds that didn't work. Invega is a miracle to me. I have not gained weight, in fact I have lost weight after being on Zyprexa. I do have raised prolactin levels and don't menstrate, but my mood is stable and I have not had an episode on over 2 years. This drug has worked for me and even with the side effects I will continue to take it.

My son is not only Bipolar, but PDD, more autistic, and schizophrenic. I believe he is taking too many meds and I am hoping the second opion we will be getting in a couple of weeks will shed some light.

My daughter has been on this medicine now for almost a year and this medicine has worked out for the good mostly for mood disorder nos.

Before taking Invega, my racing thoughts were out of control. 3 mg. didn't work, 6 mg. worked a little bit, but the very first day i started 9 mg. it completely stopped. I like this medication a lot.

this medication has been very good for me with no side effect's and very small size so it's easy to swallow

My wife was put on invega after her breakdown. She was on 18mg for 6 months and is now on 12mg plus 400mg of wellbutrin daily. She has been stable for the last year but has developed trembles and face and tongue problems. She still has no energy or ambittion.

Hi, All I can say is this drug (Invega) mixed with a few other drugs brought me back to reality.I could tell the mim. my Doctor put me on invega. Dennis

I've been on invega for now 9 months. And its eliminated paranoia, audiory hallucinations. Knock on wood. :) I have gained weight and have a high prolactin level and vivid dreams. Sometimes I also wake up at night. But I'm still very happy just to have the hallucinations gone. Its still worth it in my opinion.

Feel light headed,fevers,

It stopped the paranoia, voices, and delusions.

medication is causing nausea is this normal. Also dizziness however this is probably short term. Want to know how effective with the use in teenagers for Aspergers Syndrome. Carer.

Was tired and had a racing heartbeat for the first week. A very strange experience to have that combo. But it only lasted for one week. Not a bad trade-off for what it does. It has worked wonders for me. I'm even going back to college.

i have tried a lot of other meds. and this one has worked wonders for me i does not drag me down like the other ones i call it my wonder drug

My son has been taking Invega 3mg for over a year. His episodes of violent rage have completely vanished. He's a typical teen again. He has gained weight though. About 30 lbs. When I weigh the weight gain versus the violent eposides of rage... The weight gain wins, hands down. We couldn't have dealt with the rage anymore.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar I disorder almost exactly 6 years ago (I was 20). I've gone through about 7 doctors and even more medications. The dosage that has finally been successful the past 2 years has been lithium, lamictal, and invega. I used to take geodon, but my personal feelings of distress (more physical than anything else) made me beg for something else. And then, whala! A new drug called invega. I soon was able to study for school better, my relationship with my then girlfriend now wife went to new heights; I even have been able to sustain a job for the past two years, all while buying my first home at 25 and a new car. I truly attribute invega for giving me the stability to be myself again. Read More Read Less
