Bipolar Disorde
"Been on this for 11 months for my bipolar 1. Side effects have been very minimal compared to other anti-psychotic&#039;s I&#039;ve been on. I&#039;m on the 156mg every 28 days. I also take topamax, cogentin &amp; melatonin. I feel slowed down compared to when I was living in a manic state, but I&#039;m trying to get used to it. It&#039;s not a sleepiness but a lack of mania I feel. But I do feel sleepy between 5:30 &amp; 7pm I&#039;m guessing that&#039;s when the sustained part of the medication kicks in. I have had some moderate weight gain. I have had severe problems with muscle rigidity with other anti-psychotics, so I am super happy to find I don&#039;t have to go through that with invega sustaina! It did give me a big knot in my arm, so I get it in my butt now &amp; that&#039;s worked out better!"
