this is very good video. I am a fresh graduated nurse and I haven't administered Invega to patient when I was a student. In this video, I have better understanding about how to prepare and administer Invega. Thanks for your sharing
Hi to all! I'm not in the medical field. A mom whose son has been taking the Invega injection for the past two years. I just want to thank all the traveling nurses who do home/curbside visits cause of covid lock downs, a mighty heart felt thank you! My son had just began to get calm and somewhat back to being in this reality when the covid lock downs began. His nurse had to do isolation for what turned out to be a month, he wouldn't accept the shot from anyone else , and we all experience a terrible phase. We called police but since he had calmed down no arrests or write ups. So I want to say how much I appreciate all the hard work you do and support. Lol on their first curbside visit my son's claimed she hit bone to get even with him for his past weeks behavior at home for me. Calmly telling no she wouldn't do that. you probably jerked as needle went in. He's so much taller she's barely 5. My suggestion to both, he stand in street while she on curb to help even out the height differences. Next visit I went downstairs with him to make sure they remembered to tried it this way. My son doesn't like needles but it was our only option left at this point. So glad this worked out for the both of them. he still complains of site pain and baby's his arm for few days. Lol glad to having my son back for a bit of time. It doesn't entirely remove the voices just quieten them so he can function and have confidence in himself again. Thank you.

Great presentation Miss.Lyn! I'm a new RN graduate and l have a interview next week at a Psych hospital. I'm reading a lot of these rude comments from some people who seem to have serious psychiatric issues. How do you effectively redirect negative behaviors while maintaining your professionalism at work?
A DeNae First of all congratulations on your graduation, I’m so excited for you!! To answer your question, it depends on the “variables”. The first thing I try to do is acknowledge that I hear their comment/remark regardless of how inappropriate it is. I then let them know I’m aware that their anger or rude comment is misdirected or not appropriate and give them an opportunity to change their narrative. Then I set a limit or guideline that the behavior will not be tolerated by me. If no change in their action or verbiage, then I stick to my word and I take action. Initial action on YT is a delete and block. Sometimes I keep some of the comments on YT so others can see actual mental health mindsets in action. When I’m at work, however, the initial action is to walk away reminding them that we can revisit a conversation when they are calm and respectful. I’m good at pushing a mute button. I can ignore folks easily now. Life is to short and I will never get paid enough to tolerate or accept verbal abuse. One of the variables I have to always remember is: is this person sick and in need of my guidance or is this a behavioral issue. I have way more tolerance for TRUE mental illness. 99% of patients come back later and apologize, and that makes me smile. I always immediately accept their apology because for anyone to apologize is a big step. Now for staying professional. TBH, that is not always the case. Sometimes you have to meet people where they are in their mental illness for them to understand you. So , I would say there have been times when I haven’t been professional, but felt it was appropriate at the time, If that makes sense. You will get to learn your patients and the milieu and how management allows or expects you to run the unit. Our staff have complete autonomy regarding how we handle our patients so that’s another variable. I could go on and on but I’ll stop here. I hope I answered your question. Sorry for the long response. If you need anything at all, please let me know. Good luck on your interview!
@@MissLyntheRN thank you so much! Everything was well explained and l appreciate you taking your time to do so. I have that interview next week and l have a HHC case manager interview also.. I'm excited and torn between both🤷🏾♀️

i like that you are neutral about it ....

@@dreamznaspiratons7064 I took a brief hiatus from invega and noticed my physical health rebound tremendously, but my sense of reality took a plunge leading me back to invega with a strict diet plan and workout regimen. I KNOW IT'S HARD BUT YOU CAN NOT LIVE A SEDENTARY LIFE ON I/M ANTIPSYCHOTICS, STAY ACTIVE AND WATCH YOUR BODY TEMPERATURE!
I’ve been getting these invega injections refusing to look at the needle, and boy now that I seen this video I am amazed I even went through with the injection without knowing how freaking long the needle was !😬
I used to be fine looking at needles growing up I was brave and felt nothing Now I feel everything can’t look and suck in my breath crunch my eyes and tense while it’s happening
It took me 8 years to get use to side effects of psych drugs, because of the 117 dose I don’t complain anymore. I’ve been on it for 5 years and 6 months ago they tried to switch me to abilify but that didn’t work for me due to other non mental side effects but now I’m back on 117 thank God. I also take depakote and for about a year in a half wellbutrin and I’m fine. But it’s different for everyone.
Wellbutrin is not a ssri. It's the same thing on the shelves to help someone quit smoking. I forgot the name but I did my research. Plus it made me hate smoking. This shit isn't for everyone. I don't even recommend this one really. Doctors pushing meds when people need to seek God is sometimes the main problem with schizophrenia. They have misdiagnosed so many people and these drugs can create chaotic crisis's and death. It's sad how many people are suffering now from mental illness and I do believe the government has a lot to do with it.
I thought you were going to show how to give in the arm but I have learned that you take the 2nd shot in 8 days wich the doctor did not tell me this I'm thankful for that
For Aristada it’s recommended to tap the syringe 10 times and shake vigorously for 30 seconds to ensure uniform suspension. That should help with clumping.
Hi, Miss Lynn: I have been receiving invega sustenna for 6 months now. 6/7 times I did not get any injection site reaction on the deltoid besides pain, which I put ice on it because it gets sore. The 6th time I got a hardened lump on my left deltoid that was red at first It's getting smaller but very slowly. This was in the beginning of March, the seventh time I had no reaction. When I got it the 6th time the pain was excruciating, it may have been the way my psychiatrist administered it because the nurse went on vacation. Now looking at this VERY informative video 👏, I see there are 2 gages. They may have used the bigger Gage because I am 176lbs sometimes 166lbs (my weight fluctuates My question is, how long will it take for the hardened lump to go away? And since I have to get the injection in the left deltoid in a week, will my nurse have to work around it? Are there ways I can get rid of the lump? I exercise every day. Thanks 💜
TheKillersFan 333 Hello, most often than not, the result of injection injury or discomfort is usually due to how it was administered. The person giving the injection should ensure that it’s in the muscle for starters. As a recipient, you should always try to relax that muscle so that the needle can enter the injection site with greater ease. As for the healing, where that lump is, everyone is different. I’ve known some to last as little as a week or as long as 3 weeks. You keep monitoring it and make sure it’s not getting bigger. Follow up with your doctor if you see any changes or have any concerns or questions about it. If you get a fever, that could be a sign of infection and you would definitely need medical attention. Take care.
Mrs.Lynn this medicine has been suggested for my son. He is talking more on caplyta on abilify he was not as verbal. I am scared to loose him speaking . we have noticed that caplyta has not really suppressed all of the negative or positive symptoms. Would you suggest trying something else?
@@dreamznaspiratons7064 I often wondered about that. Sometimes his mannerisms would change and he would speak softly and point kind of child like. But with that there should be something traumatic in his life and I do not recall or know of anything very traumatic in his life.
I get used to get this injection but now I'm getting the 6 month injection and the needles hurt like heel is there any technique they can use to make it hurt less
Hurts during injection, or soreness and pain afterwards? Is the same person who has previous injections giving this one? Has the needle size changed. Please ask your provider what’s changed and hopefully they can pinpoint the source of discomfort for you. I wish you all the best!
@@MissLyntheRN the needle really hurts during the injections... The size of the needle hadn't changed... The shorter needle feels like a bee sting and the longer needle hurts... Thanks for your replies it's really comforting
This video is about how to administer the injection and what it’s used for. I am not here to market it. This is not the forum to continue to put the drug down and antagonize me because I posted a video about it. It’s clear that you don’t like Invega so please state that fact, and move on. Thank you.
pustel please speak to your doctor prior to rid your body of a needed medication. There are side effects to medications that are stopped abruptly. Talk you your team about putting you on a medication that you feel comfortable with.
@kellenharris Clearly there is an issue with you. I’m not sure why you are angry with me for demonstrating a medication administration procedure to healthcare professionals. Please take a moment and try to verbalize without insults why you are angry, and maybe I can help you. If however, you are unable to do that, then that’s ok but Do NOT, hurl any additional insults. It will not be tolerated. Please and thank you.
olaolga Another special person who clearly has not watched the video. These are not forced meds and I am not the manufacture. Each person has a right to refuse this medication. Please move on.
@@ziggeyn405 The side effects I've experienced from it are weight gain and drowsiness. But now that's less of a problem because I've decreased it even further. Currently down to 3mg. I can think and work normally on it yes, it has even allowed me to go back to school.
Hello, I’m not sure what you mean by “material”, maybe ingredients?? If so, please check out the Janssen website to see if any of the information they have may answer your question. Thank you!
There are three approved long acting Invega injections. They should be effective depending on which one you use. There is a 28 day, 3 month, and 6 month injection.
@@MissLyntheRN I know but Is the invega sustenna effective for 4 to 5 weeks once injected How long does it last and effective from the day 1 once injected with ?
I once gave the first injection of 150mg for my patient, however she reported pain 2 days later in her deltoid, upon inspection there was no visible discoloration (redness or bruising) however i noticed that there was hardening in the muscle tissue in that area , the deltoid muscle felt rather harder than it should, thus causing the pain. Any remarks on what that case is ?
Hello I have a dosage for this month and I lost my insurance, I have the injection but not the coverage to take it ... I tske 234 mg. Can I do it for my self? Gluteus or deltoid?
@@MissLyntheRN what injection medication is good for manic depression bipolar 1 and Mania I'm reading about Abilify injection and lithium what is the best one to take including the one you're talking about
@@JamarLDrCold Jamar, so much depends on your own body... there will never be a "best" one until you've tried it and tested it. Some people swear by lithium, others can't tolerate it. Some people love abilify, others can't tolerate it. Sodium valproate is another common one used for mood disorders (its a mood stabiliser).
This question is difficult one to answer as it depends on so many factors. Some include, your bodies metabolization, the time frame and the mg of drug injected. I do know that this particular dose and brand in the video is designed to last 28 days according to the manufactures information page.

My Daughter is 31 kg. She is aggressive since 2 months ,have not slept for 8 days ,speaks meaningless since 2 days.doctor has recommended 75mg invega. Is the dose ok. What is the criteria for 75 mg or higher body weight. Pl guide
Thank you so much for your question. The weight suggests that your daughter is more than likely a minor child. Invega is contraindicated in children under 12 years of age. It’s very important that you discuss side effects, age, weight, and short term, long term efficacy with the prescribing physician. As a nurse, it’s outside of my scope of practice, even negligent to speculate or provide advice regarding medication and “if” the dose is ok. The physician has all background information regarding your daughters current condition and history and would be the best at answering your question fully. The best to you!
Thanks a lot🙏 for your reply. She is an adult 22 yrs old,but is thin amd underweight,so went in depression,then aggression...... Anyway thanks again for reply and nice video
@@radhekrishna8090 Thank you for circling back to respond. I assumed because of the weight that your daughter was a minor. This is a perfect example of why not speculating and having all pertinent information is so vital. Thank you again!
MY SON TAKES THIS MEDICATION, WHEN YOU GET THE BOX, EXAMPLE BOX SAY 234MG DOES THE INJECTION HAVE TO SAY 234, THEY JUST INCREASED HIS MEDICINE TODAY,IS THEIR A HIGHER DOSAGE?? PLEASE IF YOU CAN REPLY TO MY QUESTION I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOU??IS THERE A LARGER DOSAGE, INJECTABLE,OTHER THAN 234 MG
Hello, the “example” box does not have to match , however, the actual injection packaging should match. There are higher dosages labeled for Trinza, but without all of the information it’s hard to answer this question. Always confirm dosage amounts with the provider. There is currently long acting Sustenna, Trinza, and now Hayfera, so it can be quite confusing.
"You will never have time to read all this. Look at all this." - lol Love it! Thanks for the video! I've never seen this used before (new nurse in a psychiatric hospital) and wasn't there when my patient received the injection, so was just curious... :-D
The first two intramuscular doses HAVE to be deltoid. Deltoid will absorb quicker (i.e. take less days to take effect). The manufacturer advises that after the first two, then gluteal can be used if the patient prefers. For any injection bigger than 2mls, gluteal really is the preferred choice because large doses are uncomfortable in the deltoid. But gluteal muscle has a poorer blood supply compared to the deltoid muscle. So gluteal will take longer to absorb into the bloodstream (and theoretically last longer in your body). In my experience, gluteal can be a problem in overweight patients, and some people get embarrassed pulling their pants down for a gluteal injection.

@@dreamznaspiratons7064 I took a brief hiatus from invega and noticed my physical health rebound tremendously, but my sense of reality took a plunge leading me back to invega with a strict diet plan and workout regimen. I KNOW IT'S HARD BUT YOU CAN NOT LIVE A SEDENTARY LIFE ON I/M ANTIPSYCHOTICS, STAY ACTIVE AND WATCH YOUR BODY TEMPERATURE!
This was a great tutorial! Well done! I work in psych I was a RN for 15 years before I became an Np! Have you ever thought about teaching !
Thank you, I have thought about teaching but I just currently stick to precepting.
Very good at demonstrating this one :)
Thank you!
I’ve been getting these invega injections refusing to look at the needle, and boy now that I seen this video I am amazed I even went through with the injection without knowing how freaking long the needle was !😬
coward, they will someday inject u.
I used to be fine looking at needles growing up I was brave and felt nothing
Now I feel everything can’t look and suck in my breath crunch my eyes and tense while it’s happening
It took me 8 years to get use to side effects of psych drugs, because of the 117 dose I don’t complain anymore. I’ve been on it for 5 years and 6 months ago they tried to switch me to abilify but that didn’t work for me due to other non mental side effects but now I’m back on 117 thank God. I also take depakote and for about a year in a half wellbutrin and I’m fine. But it’s different for everyone.
It certainly is!
Wellbutrin is not a ssri. It's the same thing on the shelves to help someone quit smoking. I forgot the name but I did my research. Plus it made me hate smoking. This shit isn't for everyone. I don't even recommend this one really. Doctors pushing meds when people need to seek God is sometimes the main problem with schizophrenia. They have misdiagnosed so many people and these drugs can create chaotic crisis's and death. It's sad how many people are suffering now from mental illness and I do believe the government has a lot to do with it.
Thank you! Home health nurse here, giving my first Invega today:-)
I thought you were going to show how to give in the arm but I have learned that you take the 2nd shot in 8 days wich the doctor did not tell me this I'm thankful for that
You can actually take the 2nd dose as early as 4-5 days now.
Is this the same for Aristada injection? I heard that one clumps up. So you have to give it quick.
For Aristada it’s recommended to tap the syringe 10 times and shake vigorously for 30 seconds to ensure uniform suspension. That should help with clumping.
Thanks so much
Hi, Miss Lynn:
I have been receiving invega sustenna for 6 months now. 6/7 times I did not get any injection site reaction on the deltoid besides pain, which I put ice on it because it gets sore.
The 6th time I got a hardened lump on my left deltoid that was red at first
It's getting smaller but very slowly. This was in the beginning of March, the seventh time I had no reaction.
When I got it the 6th time the pain was excruciating, it may have been the way my psychiatrist administered it because the nurse went on vacation. Now looking at this VERY informative video 👏, I see there are 2 gages. They may have used the bigger Gage because I am 176lbs sometimes 166lbs (my weight fluctuates
My question is, how long will it take for the hardened lump to go away? And since I have to get the injection in the left deltoid in a week, will my nurse have to work around it? Are there ways I can get rid of the lump? I exercise every day.
Thanks 💜
TheKillersFan 333 Hello, most often than not, the result of injection injury or discomfort is usually due to how it was administered. The person giving the injection should ensure that it’s in the muscle for starters. As a recipient, you should always try to relax that muscle so that the needle can enter the injection site with greater ease. As for the healing, where that lump is, everyone is different. I’ve known some to last as little as a week or as long as 3 weeks. You keep monitoring it and make sure it’s not getting bigger. Follow up with your doctor if you see any changes or have any concerns or questions about it. If you get a fever, that could be a sign of infection and you would definitely need medical attention. Take care.
Thank you so much much for your reply and addressing my concerns

Mrs.Lynn this medicine has been suggested for my son. He is talking more on caplyta on abilify he was not as verbal. I am scared to loose him speaking . we have noticed that caplyta has not really suppressed all of the negative or positive symptoms. Would you suggest trying something else?

I’m personally opposed to the dart like motion because some patients complain that it’s painful. But thanks for the comment!
@@MissLyntheRN I understand.I haven't had any complaints.It takes practice but my patients have said its less painless for them.
How long do side effects from the Invega injection last? Ive been off of the injection for a month and I still have foggy vision.
I get used to get this injection but now I'm getting the 6 month injection and the needles hurt like heel is there any technique they can use to make it hurt less
Hurts during injection, or soreness and pain afterwards? Is the same person who has previous injections giving this one? Has the needle size changed. Please ask your provider what’s changed and hopefully they can pinpoint the source of discomfort for you. I wish you all the best!
@@MissLyntheRN the needle really hurts during the injections... The size of the needle hadn't changed... The shorter needle feels like a bee sting and the longer needle hurts... Thanks for your replies it's really comforting

How does it effect the gaba system and the cerebellum along with the cerebral spinalfluid
Hack This That question is above me
This video is about how to administer the injection and what it’s used for. I am not here to market it. This is not the forum to continue to put the drug down and antagonize me because I posted a video about it. It’s clear that you don’t like Invega so please state that fact, and move on. Thank you.

Rosina Lambert Because this is not a medication that I need. This is meant to show clinicians how to administer this med. please move on . Thank you
@kellenharris Clearly there is an issue with you. I’m not sure why you are angry with me for demonstrating a medication administration procedure to healthcare professionals. Please take a moment and try to verbalize without insults why you are angry, and maybe I can help you. If however, you are unable to do that, then that’s ok but Do NOT, hurl any additional insults. It will not be tolerated. Please and thank you.

is there any serious side effect ?can you think and work normally
@@ziggeyn405 The side effects I've experienced from it are weight gain and drowsiness. But now that's less of a problem because I've decreased it even further. Currently down to 3mg. I can think and work normally on it yes, it has even allowed me to go back to school.

I was on invega for 6 months. I became a suffering vegetable, throwing up every day. No energy. No emotions. And its a chemical castration
How long does Invega Sustenna Is Effective For Once Injected
There are three approved long acting Invega injections. They should be effective depending on which one you use. There is a 28 day, 3 month, and 6 month injection.
@@MissLyntheRN I know but
Is the invega sustenna effective for 4 to 5 weeks once injected
How long does it last and effective from the day 1 once injected with ?
for me it took time. maybe 2 weeks or 3 weeks

Do you have experience with Abilify Maintena? I’m on it
TheCatz Yes, I do administer that under Dr.’s order.
Thank You 😊
I once gave the first injection of 150mg for my patient, however she reported pain 2 days later in her deltoid, upon inspection there was no visible discoloration (redness or bruising) however i noticed that there was hardening in the muscle tissue in that area , the deltoid muscle felt rather harder than it should, thus causing the pain. Any remarks on what that case is ?
It should be reported and discussed with clinical management.
Hmm benzisoxazol is apart of the chemical structure which last I checked nobriliem is in it
Does this syringe have calibration?
No it doesn’t
Very informative!!
Chassiddy Williams Thank you!
Hello I have a dosage for this month and I lost my insurance, I have the injection but not the coverage to take it ... I tske 234 mg.
Can I do it for my self? Gluteus or deltoid?
Please consult your primary care physician. I’m unable to give medical advice. It’s unlawful and inappropriate.
@@MissLyntheRN what injection medication is good for manic depression bipolar 1 and Mania I'm reading about Abilify injection and lithium what is the best one to take including the one you're talking about
@@JamarLDrCold Jamar, so much depends on your own body... there will never be a "best" one until you've tried it and tested it. Some people swear by lithium, others can't tolerate it. Some people love abilify, others can't tolerate it. Sodium valproate is another common one used for mood disorders (its a mood stabiliser).
Does it go in a sharps contai er afterward
Of course!

Is that for three month ?
David Rafael . No, this one is monthly. They do have the Trinza for 3 months
How long does it take to leave the body if you we’re injected 5 times.? Need answers
This question is difficult one to answer as it depends on so many factors. Some include, your bodies metabolization, the time frame and the mg of drug injected. I do know that this particular dose and brand in the video is designed to last 28 days according to the manufactures information page.
Look into benzisoxazol on the chemical structures of the and also look into NO on the periodic table
@Hack This don't mean to ask another question,but what's your reasoning for looking up "benzisoxazol and NO"

Is the dose ok.
What is the criteria for 75 mg or higher body weight.
Pl guide
Thank you so much for your question. The weight suggests that your daughter is more than likely a minor child. Invega is contraindicated in children under 12 years of age. It’s very important that you discuss side effects, age, weight, and short term, long term efficacy with the prescribing physician. As a nurse, it’s outside of my scope of practice, even negligent to speculate or provide advice regarding medication and “if” the dose is ok. The physician has all background information regarding your daughters current condition and history and would be the best at answering your question fully. The best to you!
Thanks a lot🙏 for your reply.
She is an adult 22 yrs old,but is thin amd underweight,so went in depression,then aggression......
Anyway thanks again for reply and nice video
@@radhekrishna8090 Thank you for circling back to respond. I assumed because of the weight that your daughter was a minor. This is a perfect example of why not speculating and having all pertinent information is so vital. Thank you again!

MY SON TAKES THIS MEDICATION, WHEN YOU GET THE BOX, EXAMPLE BOX SAY 234MG DOES THE INJECTION HAVE TO SAY 234, THEY JUST INCREASED HIS MEDICINE TODAY,IS THEIR A HIGHER DOSAGE?? PLEASE IF YOU CAN REPLY TO MY QUESTION I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOU??IS THERE A LARGER DOSAGE, INJECTABLE,OTHER THAN 234 MG
Hello, the “example” box does not have to match , however, the actual injection packaging should match. There are higher dosages labeled for Trinza, but without all of the information it’s hard to answer this question. Always confirm dosage amounts with the provider. There is currently long acting Sustenna, Trinza, and now Hayfera, so it can be quite confusing.
"You will never have time to read all this. Look at all this." - lol Love it! Thanks for the video! I've never seen this used before (new nurse in a psychiatric hospital) and wasn't there when my patient received the injection, so was just curious... :-D
Brian Gomez Thanks for the comment. Welcome to psych! ❤️

Shakera Kathleen, FNP-C. Thank you so much!
Do you know what the decision process behind gluteus or deltoid is? I prefer deltoid.
famillioner Honestly, I go by patient preference. I try to convince them that the soreness is less noticeable in the gluteus, but most choose deltoid.
The first two intramuscular doses HAVE to be deltoid. Deltoid will absorb quicker (i.e. take less days to take effect). The manufacturer advises that after the first two, then gluteal can be used if the patient prefers. For any injection bigger than 2mls, gluteal really is the preferred choice because large doses are uncomfortable in the deltoid.
But gluteal muscle has a poorer blood supply compared to the deltoid muscle. So gluteal will take longer to absorb into the bloodstream (and theoretically last longer in your body). In my experience, gluteal can be a problem in overweight patients, and some people get embarrassed pulling their pants down for a gluteal injection.
After gluteal injection (2 days ago) there is some pain like sting when touching it and it feel like small hard ball. Is that’s normal?
Thanks for this video!!!
