"I feel the 150mg injection is too high a dose for me but I do not experience symptoms of Schizophrenia on it. The side effects I experience from the medication are high prolactin, sedation, drooling during sleep, palpitations, weight gain, flat affect and lack of interest in everything unlike when I was on the 3mg tablet. I want to return to my lower dose tablet to lose the weight I have gained and to regain the autonomy around taking my medication."

"I experienced catatonia and low mood for 6 months before getting the Invega Injection. After taking Invega Sustenna I'm more active with hobbies and interests, there's always movies and music playing, reading, going to the beach, cooking. Life is more vibrant with Invega, I don't spend my day lying in bed anymore."

"I’ve been on this for about 6 months and my biggest side effect is weight gain. I’ve put on 100 lbs. I also have a constant runny nose and can’t stop sneezing in the sun. The medication changes the way I am, the way I think. I’m not as clear headed, I pace a lot and sometimes have trouble speaking. It has eliminated my hallucinations and delusions."

"Do not take this medication. It will make you a zombie. It will decrease motivation majorly, take all of your emotions away, and make you a bump on a log."
