"I was first given risperidone for a manic episode related to mainly hypersexuality. I have been switched to paliperidone because I started having problems with my liver. Since I'm on paliperidone (probably like 3 months now), I don't really see a difference personally. But my libido is starting to go up again, which for me is one of my first signs that mania is coming. So I'm not sure if paliperidone is better for me than risperidone (besides the liver issue)."

"Been on risperidone 6 mg for many years. Doc took me off and put me on Invega Sustenna 128. On 4th month. Much less foggy in the brain. Lost 10 lbs, sex life back. Very grateful for Invega."

"This drug is not good for me. I’m not feeling great at all on it. My brain is not functioning how it should and, dare I say it, I’m actually feeling suicidal."

"Works like Risperdal with fewer side effects. Eliminates delusions and mania. In conjunction with lithium and Klonopin, I am fairly stable."
