Invega Sustenna update

Posted by vbs on May 24, 2013, at 13:48:56

I received my third Invega Sustenna injection yesterday. I just want to share that I feel really good today. I'm not hearing voices. I feel peaceful. I hope this positive state of mind continues.

vbs,

Thank you for the update. I too hope that you'll continue to feel more at peace without any voices as you continue to receive your injections.

T.

I get it once-monthly (every four weeks).

So did it take three months to begin to work as you sound like things are going very well. Phillipa

I've been on it for five weeks. The very first injection is followed by a second injection one week later. Subsequent injections are given every four weeks (28 days) after the starting doses. I need to remind myself to exercise patience. It does take time to engender a robust response. I'm grateful that today is a good day. It feels good to have a peaceful and quiet mind. Tomorrow or next week may spell a different story.

Yeah, Invega Sustenna has been working well since last Thursday's injection. I've been practically free from hearing voices. It's definitely a blessing.
