It is probably really good as an impacting drug to fastly cope with mania. Non the less I hope not to take it any longer. I really dislike most side effects related to prolactin (even if it is what it makes it effective?).

I was really ready to give up, and go to a hospital. Then she started me on Invega 3 mg every night and I have NEVER felt this good, and I am 57, have had bp all of my life. I quit smoking several months ago, and have had two months of acute bursitis in both hips, so no exercise. So I have gained about 5 lbs, and think it's the combo of those three things. At this point, with the way I feel now, I can tolerate a little chubbiness!

I was on Risperdal for many years. Looking back after being on the Invega...I wasn't me. I feel like I'm not in a fog any more or have to sleep all the time. I can concentrate, I think clearly, I can write (I'm a college student so have many papers to write), I have my interests back. I love this medication. It as changed my life so much.

I was on Risperdal for many years. Looking back after being on the Invega...I wasn't me. I feel like I'm not in a fog any more or have to sleep all the time. I can concentrate, I think clearly, I can write (I'm a college student so have many papers to write), I have my interests back. I love this medication. It as changed my life so much. I actually enjoy doing things now...being with the family...interacting with everyone!! Thank you so much for finding this medication. In all the years I have had to deal with my Bi-Polar I have never felt more like myself then I do now (just without all the bad stuff!). Oh, and a nice side effect is that I have lost 17 pounds which I put much more then that on when I was on the Risperdall. This is a wonderful medication in so many ways!!

This drug has helped me tremendously. My racing thoughts were unbearable at times, but they've been controlled since starting Invega 2 months ago (9 mg)
