User Reviews for paliperidone palmitate intramuscular

Almost immediate onset of severe tremors (Parkinson-like)which have not subsided in 3 years. He is almost unable to eat unassisted at times. This was piled onto my bipolar spouse's regimen while also on lithium, Depakote and diabetes meds. He was successfully coming down from a Manic episode when this was added (unnecessarily, I believe). I WOULD NOT GIVE THIS MED TO A RABID DOG, MUCH LESS A HUMAN BEING. We also believe he experienced extreme, rapid muscle loss after taking this poison. Sorry. It may help some people but NOT us, and I would not recommend it for bipolar psychosis. Read More Read Less

I have Bipolar I Disorder with psychosis, it keeps the psychosis at bay. I'm no longer in an episode so there is no need for me to be taking it. I am required to however, I feel tired all the time, I never feel rested.

I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. My Dr. prescribed Invega 3 mg pills along with an anti-depressant to assist with pain management. I was extremely skeptical when I read what Invega was designed to treat, but at the time I was in so much pain I was desperate to try anything. Strangely enough it has helped! I'm not 100%, but I am able to work.

I went through a period of sycosis from end of January 2011 - March or April 2011. Started getting the shot in March I think and in a month or 2 the sycosis subsided. Been on it now for almost a year and haven't heard any voices that aren't really there or seen anything that isn't really there. This was probally my 5th time having sycosis. This time I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. I haven't really noticed any side effects. Except for I had lost some wieght then gained 20 lbs back and I am making alot of the hormone that you have when you are pregnant but am not pregnant. That causes me to produce milk. When I first started getting the shot I was scared. Getting the shot in the arm hurts for a few days afterward. The hip doesn't really hurt at all. Read More Read Less

My experience with this drug has been short, but in that time I have found it to and effective option when the oral medication fails to alleviate the symptoms of schizoaffective disorder, symptoms in particular audio and visual hallucinations.
