This medicine has worked very well for my mood regulation (bipolar type II and / or borderline personality dirorder & Schizoaffective (Schizioid / thinking along /w mood problems). Mental illness, in some instances, is extremely hard to diagnose, and you may never know exactly what the diagnosis is. It is best to try medicines in combinations untill you find what works. I am using 6 mg of Inveg...

This drug is not labeled for bipolar. Doctors still prescribe it off label for bipolar. It might work well for schizophrenics, but it will suck the life out of you, if you’re bipolar. You will lose all your creativeness, your motivation, and your drive. It’s been eight months since the two loading doses I took, I don’t see myself ever getting better. Please don’t take this drug if you’re bipolar.

Makes you not want to do anything. Sucks the joy out of life. Makes you want to kill yourself. But it doesn't bother your eyes and ears as much as other antipsychotics. It makes you cold and lazy. It makes you gain a medium amount of weight. You'll need a laxative. My hair is falling out. Not hungry but I can still eat normal. I feel rested. It doesn't knock you out. Best antipsychotic I've been on so far and I've tried 6 of them. It works really well for the psychosis. It's had the least side effects for me.Read More Read Less

This medication has taken my life away , I have developed insomnia I also have no energy to get out of bed . I have been on it just over a year and symptoms are getting worse . Take it if you like sitting around all day as you wont be able to do much more , Ive developed memory problems lost nearly all my muscle and put on 15 kg even with dieting . I doubt weather the medication will help most people as it mainly helps people that hear or see things not the average person . There were a lot of side effects I didn't write about if you take it you will find out like I did that everyone is different Read More Read Less

My psychiatrist gave them to me because I was terribly depressed and anxious and escitalopram and benzodiazepines weren't cutting it, off-label. Let me just say : meds don't get an indication for no reason. It barely did anything for my depression. Helped my anxiety a bit. But it basically just slows you down to the point you sleep for 14 yours and still wake up tired and take 1 hour to get out of bed. My mouth was more often than not very dry to the point it hurt and it tasted terribly. And I was only on 3mg. I have absolutely no idea how schizophrenic people manage to live like this.Read More Read Less

This medicine by far has been the only medicine so far that my son has tried and has a significant impact his life . We have tried many many different medications and combinations and nothing has ever helped With any significance this medicine has been a godsend !! It allows him to think clear feel better and live his life every day in a good mood it also cuts down on his aggression by 95% ! I finally see my son back and I haven’t seen him in years and I owe them a lifetime of gradutudee , I pray it stays this way !Read More Read Less

I've been on Paliperidone for about a month now and I was scared by other reviews about weight gain and other crazy side effects. I have actually had a suppressed appetite and lost 10.4 lbs. Medication does not work typically on me like others. I have so much less anxiety and my mood and voices are now under control. My suicidal ideation is pretty much gone. I started at 3 mg, but it wasn't effective until I got up to 9 mg. I have Schizoaffective disorder. This is the only medication that I feel is helping me cope. It was also a last resort because I've been on all of the old "typical" antipsychotics and the new "atypicals."Read More Read Less

I have been on all the other antipsychotics and this one has helped me the best. I do not have hallucinations as much and my mood though is ok. Worst side effect though is the flat affect I have. But for the most part I would say this is the best one.

This medication has helped me so much. I have tried a few different meds ( like rispiridone) and itdidn't effect me as well. This has allowed me not to have the negative thoughts and feelings with a combination of celexa and depokote. This combination is the best for me. I am truly grateful to feel alot better these days.

Mental illness, in some instances, is extremely hard to diagnose, and you may never know exactly what the diagnosis is. It is best to try medicines in combinations untill you find what works. I am using 6 mg of Invega, 1500 mg of Depakote ER, & 60 mg of Cymbalta. I feel better than ever before. Good luck.. Also, this is the best atypical antipsychotic, in my opinion, because of its efficacy (how well it works) & side effect profile (none that I've noticed besides low blood pressure which is actually a good thing in most instances) They use special technology to allow the drug to be metabolized over a 24 hour period which is best for symptom control. This is the most technologically advanced medicine right now.Read More Read Less

Son, was given, he just turned 8. 3mg dosage. First 2 days he was extremely hyper and confrontational. Days 3 and 4 were ok but seemed very subdued. Days 5 and 6 he was shaking extremely subdued and drowsy, and was even sent home from school. Syptoms were like overdosage.
