Invega
I'm currently taking invega and experience some muscle stiffness and headaches in the afternoon. I had dry skin at first and was very lethargic at first but that has passed now.

Invega
I have been on invega for over a month now. My skin is breaking out more and I have had two light periods in the past month, but no restless leg syndrome as of yet.
I was also very lethargic at first, but I am fine now.
Anyone else experiencing these side effects?

Side effects from Invega
I took Invega for several months last year for frequent nightmares and insomnia. it made me very ill. I experienced such side effects as restless feet and toes, Continues invulentary jerking and shaking hands, arms, and legs. I had a hard time eating most foods and lost 55 pounds. It effected my speech. My breasts produced milk and my menenstral periods stopped. My motor skills were so effected that I had to stop driving a car. I became much more depressed and anti-social. The jerking and shaking of my arms and legs kept me up at night so I could not sleep. My psychiatrist didn't believe my symptoms were from the Invega and I went through many medical tests. Finally I was referred to a Neurologist who personally spoke to my psychiatrist on the phone and convinced her to back me off of the Invega. It took a few months for most of the symptoms to go away. However, I still experience the restless feet and toes, and change in speech till this day. I think they may be permanent symptoms from the Invega.
