My recent invega shot was on wedesday night. Everything was fine and i went to bed. Woke up extremely groggy and the whole day at work on thursday was extremely hard as i had trouble keeping my eyes open, my head was heavy and i was tired. Friday was the same but a little bit improved. One guy i worked with said i looked drugged others said i looked tired. Today is saturday and i feel lethargic usually i would have gone for a walk in the park by now but ive just been lying around. This is the first time since ive started working two years ago the shot has had a negative effect. If these side effects wont go away i wont be able to work as i operate heavy machinery.

Weird that this happen given that you were on the same shot before without those side effects.

Are you using invega sustenna or trinza?trinza shouldn t supposed to cause this side effects but some dosage of sustenna may cause groggy feeling after one to three days after shot.it should go away approx. 1 week later

Thanks, where did you get that information, I searched online and couldn’t find specifics like that?
It’s true though, the feeling is going away.
It feels a little bit like a combo between a bad concussion and the side effect of my second covid vaccine.
Yeah it is weird. I have no idea what changed. I checked the expiry date on the medicine package and it has a year and a month to go before expiry. I saved the lot number just in case I have to look into it.

I’m sorry to hear this’d. I used to be on invega as well. I switched to abilify and it’s good it can however have weird side effects which can include compulsive shopping and gambling

Ok thanks, when on invega how often did you experience it after injection?
İn the beginning of treatment.after 2 years its lost
Ok, but I have been taking invega since 2016, and this is the first time having the reaction. That doesn’t count when I first went on it, I felt terrible in many ways.

I’m thinking about making the switch to abilify, but it will take a problem like this with invega to trigger the change. Bring on the compulsive sex, gambling and shopping, I could live a little after 6 years on invega.

Ok.i m sorry to hear this.i only experienced in the begining of treatment.then its lost by time.
It’s difficult finding a good prescription eh!
Yes, it is. Sz is a crap situation to be in.
At least it makes us stronger… as with all illness. That’s the eternal reward I guess
I like the what doesn’t kill makes stronger idea. It’s sort of reflected in the phrase to ‘get better’. Although, getting sick does not always make a person better, sometimes illness can be disabling. You may be better than when you were sick or injured but not before. So there could be a difference between getting better or getting well.
cool im no philosopher haha i just believe that when we hurt in the body the spirit is being purified… it seems too hard at times though…i still havent lost hope though

Even though sz is of the mind I think it is a disease of the body, which is demonstrated by the effectiveness of medication. Some might argue erroneously that it is the spirit, but I don’t accept any of that.

And when I say spirit the closest thing I can agree that exists is the Will of the person. I’m not religious.
