For Schizophrenia "First of all, I want to let you know that I don't actually think I am a schizophrenic person. But oddly, this medicine gives you a hot feeling on the head. Sometimes it comes with hot flashes from the head. I have experienced those, and since I was labeled as a schizophrenic person, this medicine did not suit me. As I had said, I was not actually schizophrenic. But like I said, the hot flashes on my head cause me severely burning pain throughout my body and my head. Then I feel weak and my head disassociates like I'm about to pass out. But actually, I feel like my brain is overheating, which is the cause of this condition. Then, the voices I'm hearing start to fade away after a while of this experience. Due to a hot flash, I was panicking and then did something to halt this process, which was a mistake by me. Now, I use this injection for the hot flashes only, as I don't think I'm schizophrenic. Other than that, it seems good for anxiety."

"I’ve been on Invega for about two years. I started with Invega Sustenna (shot once a month) for about 6 months, then switched to Trinza. Overall, the drug has worked really well for me until I began to develop tardive dyskinesia. About 6 months ago, I also had a mild manic episode on the second-to-lowest dose. Because of this, they upped my dose, and I’ve gained 30 lbs in 6 months and have no sex drive. Such a better option compared to Haldol and lithium, which made me gain 60 lbs and had so many other side effects. I lost 30 lbs when they lowered my dose to the second-lowest of Invega, but unfortunately gained it all back when they upped the dose. I hate taking medication, this is all still kinda new to me, and I want to eventually get off meds, but my psychiatrist won’t let me."

For Schizophrenia "The Trinza has been the best med I have taken for my schizophrenia. After about two and a half months, I get real moody. It works fine, but about two weeks before the next injection, effectiveness wears slightly."

For Schizophrenia "it worked for me, it's really individual. I'm still growing breasts, but I tried 10 years of resisting the man boobs and libido, and to be honest, it took me going to jail to stop caring about my weight. Now they have Ozempic they can add for weight loss and Zepbound. It took me an entire year to start working, but all the newer medicines like Abilify and Geodon stopped working like they were too weak. I think it helps that this medicine is effective against mania as well, but so far, I like it. I would go on this forum and ask for advice on medicines, and from Latuda to Abilify, I lost sense of the real goal, which was to get better. In summary, give it a try, because you can be paranoid of weight gain too. I gain no weight on the Trinza."

"Invega Trinza has been my miracle prescription medicine. I was on Invega Sustenna for a year before being put on Trinza (3 months). I’ve had no side effects while taking Invega. I literally LOVE this medicine. It has eliminated all my paranoia. This medicine has made me happy again. I’ve been searching for happiness for over 10 years. If you’re looking for a medicine that actually works, I highly recommend trying Invega. It also has made things way more clear and focused. Recovery is possible. Be patient and focused on the healing process. Sending you positive vibes."

For Schizophrenia "Highly recommend this medication. Absolutely works with very little side effects. Been on it for less than a year. Lost 30 lb in the first 6 months of taking it. My appetite has also been down. Sometimes I forget I'm even hungry, and a salad fills me up, which is GREAT! Also, my sex drive is fine, great libido despite my age (I'm about 40). The best is not having to mess with pills every day, wondering if you forgot to take your meds and what will happen - with this, you get an injection every three months and you're good to go! I now only see my doctor 4 times a year and am doing very well. Like I said, LOST WEIGHT on this medication, and LIBIDO/SEX is great with absolutely no side effects yet! Hope to be on this for a very long time!"

For Schizophrenia "Taken for almost three years, this drug is awful if you're wanting to work, the impaired thinking and the sleepiness make it absolutely hard to work in any workplace. Only try this as a last resort."
