It depends on the skill of the person administering it imo. Some people really don’t get it whilst others do it in a way that you hardly noticed it

Depends on the med invega hurt like hell I didn’t notice any pain on abilify or haldol hence why I gave the pain scale a 2 if it were the one I’m taking now I don’t even feel it go in or out it’s painless

I hate the fact that people tell me. The reason you are on injection is because you didnt take your pills before. But f them. I think injection is better than pills. Invega sucked any way. Ive had one injection of abilify and i love it. Its so smooth. No side effects. Its the extra pills of abilify im taking that are messing me up Just waiting for sex to improve. I really hope it does over time. People on here have said invega takes a long time to recover from. This injection is good though. Hope youre not taking invega injection. Last night i was understanding my girlfriend. It was the greatest feeling to the world. Please brain. Fix the corruption. Abilify injection is good. I rather have injection than pills

Does the injection hurt?

In the gluteal muscle it does not. When I had it the arm yes it did sometimes.

Are side effects different/more pronounced for you?

I have not taken the tablet form of Invega, so I cant compare.

What are the pros/cons of the injection for you?

The injection is free for me in the public health system and it gives the doctors confidence because they know I am not skipping my meds

I’m on a 3 month depot. I have it in the buttock. It stings about as much and about as frequently as having a 14 day/monthly depot. That’s infrequently, and not very much.
