I had to use this drug for a year because of a drug induced psychosis and it was the worst year of my life because i became zombie like and I had to deal with the breakup of my ex at the same time. I’m so happy I’m over this now and back to my old creative and happy me !
Yeah I'm one of the unlucky ones with this drug and it was scary! Extreme sleepiness (14 hrs sleep and still tired) along with the worst tachycardia I've experienced( my heart rate doubled to a resting 120). I'm glad I stopped it though my doctor was super aggro about it.
this medication has turned my once vibrant funny and outgoing daughter into a recluse in a zombie like state. she barely seeks she stares into space and moves in slow motion. while sh no longer has manic hyper episodes she is now on the opposite end of the spectrum . i must say its a bit unnerving seeing this hallowed version of my daughter but i do my best to support her. i love y adult daughter and want the best care for her.
Terrific! My students here in Japan are dealing with Xeplion (the name for Paliperidone in Japan) and this video is a clear, watchable overview of the drug. Thanks so much!
Thank you for making these videos! They're very helpful to me. I'm watching these videos trying to emotionally prepare myself for the idea of taking medications. The music underlaying this video, with the minor key and EDM beat, feels haunting to me. This is counter-intuitive for me, since I want to become more relaxed about needing help. In the future, if the background music could all be happy or calming, that would be great! No pressure.
Already 3 of my friends took their lives because of the states psych meds developed their conditions into. The middle friend, who said he was just curious, getting his first hospitalization referral, almost burnt down his entire apartment building, intentionally, with even lithium in that cocktail of his! I stopped taking this garbage in time, and remained alive (though I had always been a non-compliant patient, with the side effects worse, than the schizophrenia itself).
I see a lot of people had bad experiences with invega. however invega sustena saved my life. I have schizoaffective disorder and would be in and out of hospital without this medication. The difference is mind boggling... I feel like the reason for bad experiences come down to irresponsible use of the drug. This REALLY isnt for depression or even for anything else than schizophrenia.
I agree with your comment! This drug was the best one out of the 3 or 4 that I tried. I felt like I was actually myself, no brain fog or heaviness! The reason I'm on TH-cam researching is because I've been on this drug for exactly 10 years and I'm wondering how safe it is long term. Do you know anything about that? I tried to go off of my med in 2018 but it was terrifying...I just wonder if it would balance out or if I'm permanently "schizoaffective". Thanks!
Hi thank you so much for commenting! I know that in comparisons to other antipsychotics Invega is one of the most safe medications long term. There is a lower risk of akathisia (or restlessnesss). Also, of other comorbid conditions like metabolic syndrome. I highly suggest you stay on this medication over any other antipsychotic. Have a blessed day.@@liannelessard3609
I remember taking that medication at a young age. I hated it. I had abnormal eye movements and and rapid heart beating. My eyes were literally stuck in the ceiling and all my doctor did was increase the dose. Every time my mom kept making me take it she would get mad when my eyes are stuck up my skull. I also had a hard time sleeping because my fucking eyes won't close because of the increased dose. It was frustrating.
We're you not ever given a prescription for a drug that counteracts those side effects? I can't think of the name right this sec. It's been around for years and years. It's chemically similar to benadryl and benadryl can be used as a substitute if need be.
was forced to take risperdal then went on to have 4 shots of paliperidone. i had my last one was feburary, i didnt have schizophrenia or anything, i was in hospital due my eating disorder. i am worried its done permanent brain damage. i have severe anhedonia, lack of motivation , slow thinking cant concentrate, no periods , sucidal and insomia. its now june and no improvement, i have no dopamine or serotonin . i am doomed and going to be like this forever
@They have NO AUTHORITY I read that it reduces the amount of Glial Cells and can't be repaired nor regenerated. Have you looked into it? Also, is there any chance based in your case that is there possibility which your memory might increase cognitive function..etc.
i wonder if she implores a neurologist before prescribing drugs in general?? seems psychotic disorders are assumed by symptoms rather than checking for neural spiking with scientific measures
My son was just injected with a 1 month shot even though he has akathisia, constipation with some blood in his stools, agitation, and sexual dysfunction after just 1 week on the week injection. Does this make sense that they injected him for another month with these side effects? Hopefully, there will be no more side effects.
Discuss this with your provider. It may be that he reacted to the loading dose and as it tapers off in the body those effects will diminish. If not, be your son's advocate and speak up!
@@LevelheadedMind I am trying to be his advocate, but they went ahead and injected him even though I was trying to tell the nurses about the effects of the meds and that they have to change meds but they went ahead anyways. So is it normal for a loading dose to have these effects in the beginning and diminish afterwards? They put him on Congentin and a few other meds now. the less meds the better in my opinion cause now he has more meds to taper off of. this sucks!
This "drug" makes my heart beat out my chest sometimes. You also sleep for way too long and feel no emotion when taking this. The ones who force this on people are 😈
My least favorite antipsychotics are risperidone and invega . I was very confused on these drugs. I like perphenizine better. I prefer the 1st generation antipsychotics.
Someone i care about was taking this medication. They stopped, claiming they didn't want a six inch needle stuck in thier stomach every month. This sounds like a rabies injection to me. I suspect the claim stems from his disease and not reality. Can anyone tell me how the injection is actually administered?
@@carolethorn3211 wow, I am so so sorry for your lost. My heart and prayers goes out to you and the rest of the family.

It's not a anti psychotic, it's a anti psychosis drug, If pooling serotonin in the mind cause greatest bodily use out of it it's be psychosis causing if serotonin was magnify, the reality it's not a anti psychotic control mechanism, psychotic emotion is anger with flight mechanism or sadness, that's caused by low uptake of serotonin.
People with depression can't have happy go lucky high serotonin psychosis emotion delusion , depressed people get psychotic depression, in the Parkinson's an tardive dyskinesia people simply didn't have high serotonin an dopamine schizophrenia
Drug induced psychosis isn't predisposition to psychosis, that's predisposition to psychotic emotion, people with normal serotonin have a normal balance of psychotic an psychosis emotion, depression is psychotic emotion switched on all the time that paliperidone isn't a control mechanism of
In reality the only control mechanism, the only true anti psychotic is something like marijuana that raise serotonin in the depressed an raise dopamine in the Parkinson's case, that mild regular use stop psychotic being switched on the restore a normal balance of psychotic an psychosis emotion
It's a mistake people with normal serotonin uptake make in thinking psychotic emotion is associated with psychosis emotion because they got drunk before an it was a psychotic or psychosis outcome drinking is induced bipolar, that people with depression smoking marijuana that isn't the reason they are psychotic,they are smoking weed in response to psychotic emotion because it's traumatic completely sober
How does paliperidone be a control mechanism of angry or sad psychotic emotion, it's simply not a anti psychotic, it's an antagonist of psychotic emotion in people with psychosis switched on from predisposition to psychosis
So I’ve been using invega sustena injections for 9 months and I’ve been off them for 2 months now but whenever I drink alcohol I really can’t get drunk I only feel numb and I heard from some people that this is permanent so is that true ?
Yeah, right. Stand akathesia with that kick of impending doom for half a year! There's absolutely no way you won't do something to your in non-contained conditions, being in this state, cause it's literally the worst suffering possible. You people are "good" 😂! Do some homework on R. D. Laing, and what Loren Mosher's Soteria Project was (and what was done with it, because it turned out to be such a threat to big pharma business).

How did you get off of it?
Lucky you😢 my mom has never been the same I don’t know how to help her 😭😭
Did the psychosis go away permanently?
Do a segment on the horrifying side effects of this drug as well, the reality of this drug.
Makes my heart race makes me shaky and makes me not sleep for until I stop taking it and take olanzapine again no orgasm crazy as hell

I can testity. My life went from good to hellish
Tell us more
What did you guys do instead
Invega sustena is poison jhonson and jhonson are satan
we are experiment rats for them dont die
Wouldn’t argue with you. Can agree on this. 😊
I was on a cocktail of meds a few years ago that zombified me, but this med with a couple of others has really helped me be me again.
Thank you so much for these videos. I just moved the mental health unit at my hospital, and these are really helping
I'm glad you find them helpful. Thanks for watching!

What did you end up doing. Meds can be reduced very slowly
Please change her onto abilify instead, which is what I did. Paliperidone is the worst I hated it

get some stimulants
how is that going to help
At least you're off this poison. Give it some more time. After 3 shots of paliperidone I knew how bad it was and switched immediately to abilify
been the worst if all APs for me. wasn’t even on injections, only oral. made me infertile

And number EIGHT...How to get off of it safely?
Depending on how long you have been on it, it is best to taper off slowly, discuss with your provider.
