For Schizophrenia "I have been diagnosed with bipolar with psychosis in June 2020. I got 2 loading doses of Invega then two other doses in two months, a total of 4 doses. Now I am 10 months since the last dose still suffering from weight gain (20 Kg), erectile dysfunction with numb penis and shrinkage, less semen volume. This drug is awful. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION AT ALL. Unfortunately, I did not have the choice to accept or refuse the drug because I was admitted to the hospital at that time. They took the consent from my parents who did not know what this drug is. This is a post for humanity, please do not use this drug, it ruined my life totally."

For Schizophrenia "Put on this medication for two years. I don't hear voices or anything, but yet I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. It made me forget words, feel stupid, have impotence, erectile dysfunction, sexual problems overall, decreased ambitions, decreased confidence, felt swollen, and my life turned upside down. I got off the medication two months ago and have been increasingly feeling better. I hope all the side effects wear off and I can go back to normal. I hope."

For Schizoaffective Disorder "Such a horrible, horrible, evil drug made me depressed, caused erectile dysfunction, made me puke, made my eyesight worse, made my brain feel foggy, and caused me to itch and sweat profusely. Mucks around with my whole nervous system, it needs to be taken off the market! This company and its supporters should be sued immediately."

"Many people who have taken LSD hear voices, get delusions, this happened to me, but long ago. I had temper, and I was given Invega Trinza. I had brain damage, difficulty in walking, impotence, weak muscles, and more, my symptoms had gone long ago. But I had abusive language and temper, it didn't help my temper. It's almost a year since I stopped Invega, and I still have difficulty in walking, let alone running. My ability to play chess has been affected by this drug. For me, there was no positive result."

For Schizophrenia "I went into the hospital with OCD-like symptoms. A doctor misdiagnosed me. I am now suffering what no human should. I can no longer work, I have anhydrosis, neuropathy in my feet, permanent impotence, blood pressure issues, brain tension, pacing, bedridden, tremors, can no longer exercise, painful leg swelling, and constant eating because of withering murderous thoughts. The neurosurgeons can't figure out why I have had a severe decline in such a short period of time."

For Schizophrenia "It made me feel akathisia along with insomnia, erectile dysfunction, and anhedonia. It was useful for the positive symptoms like paranoia, delusions, and racing thoughts, but at huge costs. You are basically trading a huge portion of your own happiness and energy for controlling your symptoms and likely never becoming psychotic again. I am not saying it is totally bad, but it can work for some people. This is your decision to make, with Invega, you will suffer some serious side effects in return for never becoming psychotic again."

For Schizophrenia "Before I took Invega injections, I was motivated about life in general. Ever since, I've experienced erectile dysfunction, emotional numbness, blank mind, memory blankness on 150 dose and 75 dose. I wouldn't recommend this drug, maybe only to people who have drug addictions. The side effects outweigh the gains."
