 5  Schizophrenia None Before taking this drug, I always felt depressed... All my life, all the time, I felt down... Now I feel normal, it balances the serotonine level in the brain... Have been taking it for 1 year (before that, one year of Risperdal Consta), have to take it for another 3 years, I feel so normal (and not down anymore) that I am afraid to stop it... But we'll see in 3 years M 29 5 years

 4  Mood stabilizer I've been impotent for six years, I've gone from 153 healthy athletic build to a fat 221 pounds. I never have energy to do anything. I've lost interest in everything. I'm constantly burned out. Never have any energy. I was happier being manic and smoking weed, yet B.S. and government love to control veterans. This shift has sucked for six years yet it makes me stable yet it's made me gain 70 pounds and has shrunk a huge dick. M 32 60 months

 3  schizophrenia tired, less energy, elevated prolactin, weight gain, depression. Injected into shoulder. Updated version of Risperdal Consta bi weekly. Sustenna only has to be taken every month vs two weeks for Consta. Been on both. Like Sustenna a lot better, because of less injections. It made Consta obsolete to me. M 31 4 months

 1  Wrongful court order 400mg x 2mos; 117mg x 10mos. It is a chemical lobotomy, permanent weight gain and loss of motivation and happiness, lack of ability to sleep, and mild-disassociation with reality. I pissed off the medical doctor who evaluated me in Phoenix where the acccs system is abused by the police department and local citizens. They do this to everyone for non-compliance/being argumentative. They treat everyone with mental health for fun because apparently they think it is free and cheap or something. So now your SS & MC and Medicaid taxes pay for my health insurance for life. Horrible drug, should be eliminated. Has strong and permanent side effects including loss of motivation ambition and permanent weight gain. Mild disassociation with reality. M 32 1 years

 1  Bipolar Horrible. Nothing to say anymore, dumber, fatter, weaker, loss of emotion. Heart pain, hurts to stand on feet, back pain, constant runny nose, sneeze all the time..memory is so shot. Sometimes I lose balance, had some painful acne. Hospitalized because I went blind with white light whenever I stood. Almost got lost in the parking lot because I couldn't see anything. Also sometimes have trouble putting words together, and I have brain farts where I forget the numbers or facts even though it was a couple seconds ago. Can't learn new materials no matter how many times I go over it. All I want to do is sleep, work is such a chore and I do barley any hours. Now I forget my dreams minutes after having them. Floods your brain receptors and stops them from firing, so brain dead is a literal statement. Also I developed such anxiety, I always think the worst is going to happen. Never had it before the injection. Can't swim anymore my arm doesn't contract and retract on the left side. As well I got OCD like it's so annoying, I always count like 2,4,6,8,10...all day. The only time I don't is when I sleep and I can't help it. Parents and psychiatrist forced me to take this since day one I never wanted to take it. Violated for life! It has a long half life but that's just blood not fat any your brain is %60 fat so I feel the dumbness lasts forever. Yo f**k this I used to be amazing at rapping, now I can't for the life of me. Literally disables you, at such a loss. M 23 12 months

 1  Schizophrenia and psychosis Anhedonia (loss of pleasure) Suicidal ideation Hopelessness Akathesia Stiffness of muscles Negative symptoms (loss of sociability, loss of appetite, loss of will/motivation, loss of energy) Nausea Memory problems Loss of creativity Stress Depression Psychosis (delusions, voices, lies) Numbness in head Loss of coordination Slowed cognitive processes/impaired cognitive processes ADHD like symptoms (loss of focus for sustained periods of time) Headaches/brain pain in a sense It practically made my life hell, I feel sorry for anyone taking these drugs and pray that they may find a doctor who specializes in alternative treatments and seek holistic healing from God and natural remedies (orthomolecular, naturopath, homeopath, cognitive behavioural therapy), and other. Thank the Lord I got off this medication, it proved to be a fire too great for me. Not only that, but I became a porn addict and still struggle because of the loss of pleasure, I would not recommend this to anyone. M 20 6 months
