Oh itā€™s bc If it doesnā€™t work for u ur one of the people thatā€™s plagued with the everlasting side effects that can take a year or two to go away. I wouldnā€™t be if I was on the pill like u but on the injection if it doesnā€™t work for u itā€™s the most terrible thing in the world- most people end up despising it and telling everyone how bad it is then- kinda like a bitter divorcĆ©. Lmao so my bad just ignore me!

Hey man! Hope everything is better by now for you.
You are off the invega for 2 years and still have no sexual function??

Best,

I am happy i came here and read this form because i am dealing with the same side affects no feeling ā€¦lack of sleepā€¦no sex drive and i only had 2 injections ā€¦i am on court order for 6 month to take meds ā€¦but it definitly wont be this injection ā€¦going back to risperdal anybody know if it causes the same affect as this posion.

I hate the Invega shot, it really messed up my mood, made me want to walk all the time (couldnā€™t sit down and concentrate), and made me gain 40 pounds. The pills arenā€™t as bad though.

Hi,

I hope you are doing well!

Did you have sexual dysfunction? When did the sexual problems disappear completely ?

I still have sexual dysfunction more than 6 months after, but then again I sit a lot so it kind of leads to erectile dysfunction anyways. The watery jizz problem goes away eventually though.

I donā€™t know how can we sex with partner without a healthy erection or even enjoy masturbating. Itā€™s good to know that you can ejaculate semen though. Itā€™s a good news. When were you able to ejaculate semen ? How many months it took you after drug discontinuation?

My testosterone and prolactin level are in normal level Iā€™m just waiting to recover sexually. Itā€™s been 1 month and 17 days and still counting the days. One urologist said I need at least 8 weeks from discontinuation in order for the sexual problems to completely disappear. I donā€™t know how but Iā€™ll see.

The half-life is 25-49 days, and itā€™ll take roughly 5 half lives to exit your system 97%. That makes it 125 to 245 days to be almost fully out.

Yea I stopped my last shot in October of ā€˜17, so itā€™s been about 7 months for me. Iā€™m on my 6th half life and I feel better but I still have a feeling that thereā€™s still one or two more half lives left in me. Iā€™m jealous of the people that get thru it with just 5 half lives- I read online that some need up to 8ā€¦ what I will say tho is that laying out in the sun does WONDERS on speeding up the breakdown of the invegaā€¦

Hi guys just wondering how people are getting on after the invega shots. Has the sex drive come BK to normal for many ?

Hey does anyone else notice that they never feel tired anymore no matter what they do? Sleeping has not been the same since taking invega sustenna. I find that I literally cant sleep and when I do sleep itā€™s only for a short amount of time and I feel like Iā€™ve been awake the whole night. I dont get not one side effect from not sleeping like I never feel exhausted or lethargic or have the inability to focus I feel 100% normal. Itā€™s the strangest thing. Iā€™ve been this way for a year now. I regret ever taking this poison. My life has not been the same since and Iā€™m also still lactating and I canā€™t feel cramps when I get my period. Also the hair on my body doesnā€™t grow. I have complete and total memory loss. No drive or motivation. No emotions. No thought process. No self esteem or confidence. I canā€™t even remember what I look like. I canā€™t meditate. I just feel completely brain dead and itā€™s terrible. All I wanna do is stay in bed now.

Hi Liverpool,
Hope everything gets better for you.

My sex drive is zero. How is yours ?
Are you able to get a healthy erection and ejaculate semen ?

Iā€™m 1 month and 17 days off the drug, I stopped taking any medication cause Iā€™m concern about the side effect of them. Iā€™m seeing another urologist in couple of days to see what he would do with my sexual issue. It seems thereā€™s no difference if I wait more couple of months or now I should do something about the symptoms.

Hi med , Iā€™m off it almost 2 years at this stage , everything is fine really erections are ok, itā€™s the sex drive the toughest part I think. Mine is ok ATM but not where it was before the shot. Do u try a tesosterone booster r anything?

I donā€™t take any tesosterone booster coz my T is in normal range. Hope everything gets better soon.

Most things are fine nowbut it was a tough time being on invega injections alright.it took away alot of my energy alsoā€¦ How u feeling in general since u stopped mind me asking, can u drink alcohol like normal ā€¦

It does really take a lot of energy. Iā€™m okay in general trying to maintain stable mood I can conversate, laugh, feel sad and happy. What concern me really and makes me angry is the sexual part. My erection is weak so is my ejaculation. Some time I ejaculate water but I guess Iā€™m used to it now. I stopped drinking now but I remember when in my first days of the injection like 6 month ago I was able to get tipsy. When did you recover from erectile dysfunction and the watery jizz?

Ya I know how u mean , I can Converse and feel emotions and all that fine, it just feels like my body wasnā€™t the same after it unfortunately. But Iā€™m not to bad. Ya the sex drivevthibg would really piss u off but u get used to it, erections not sure maybe about 7 r 8 months , sex drive still not fully there. Watery jizz does kinda half go away too after 6 r 7 months

Yes I am currently on invega sustenna and I canā€™t sleep for more than 30min to an hour at a time and I donā€™t feel tired. Itā€™s soo weird, like having next to no sleep doesnā€™t affect me at all.
