While I'm fully aware that plenty of patients are helped by the Invega injection, I feel it's my personal crusade to spread the word about what no doctor will warn patients about nor will the Invega information packet tell you.
A single shot from Invega can cause sever anhedonia for up to one year. You can potentially lose all positive emotions for a year. Since I've been speaking up about this awful side effect on multiple platforms, an impressive number of patients have reached out to me looking for assurance that the symptom was temporary. It is. It just feels like forever.
If anyone reading this wishes to minimize their risk, opt for the Abilify shot or the Olanzapine shot. I've heard of no such side effect with either one.
The word needs to be spread about Invega.
