Ratings, Global PI Sheets,  and Other Useful Links for Invega (paliperidone)

 

RemedyFind / Revolution Health ratings for Invega  - Nothing yet, so stay tuned.

Full US PI sheet.  - The one I have on this site.  Current as of today.  May be out of date when you read this, but the URLs keep changing on manufacturers' sites.

Invega's UK Patient Information Leaflet - Much easier to read than US PI sheets.

Invega's UK Summary of Product Characteristics - British equivalent to a PI sheet.  Not as comprehensive as the US ones.

Invega's European Public Assessment Report - Patient Information Leaflets and Summary of Product Characteristics in 22 EU languages: bălgarski, español, čeština, dansk, Deutsch, eesti keel, elliniká, English, français,  italiano,  latviešu valoda, lietuvių kalba,  magyar, Malti, Nederlands, polski, português, română, slovenčina, slovenščina, suomi and svenska.  Looks like they finally got their Maltese information from the drug companies.  Plus scientific discussion and the European equivalent of new drug approvals (NDA).  If only there were so much transparency on the FDA's website.  Although it takes good luck with Google to find anything on the EU's site.

Official Invega website - Not much there other than asking you to sign up for spam, er, newsletters.  At least they put us crazy people, uh, consumers out front instead of everyone involved who either isn't or is in denial about being nutjobs like most other sites.  Plus Janssen recognizes that being mentally interesting isn't limited to those who are skin-tone-challanged.

Invega's Manufacturer - Janssen's official website - A subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, Janssen makes nothing but meds for the mentally interesting.

Invega - Risperdal in a fancy bottle.  OK, they're more about how Invega is used to extend Risperdal's patent, but I like the line about the bottle too much.

Take care of yourself, and keep taking your crazy meds!

If you still have unanswered questions about this or other medications, including which one is, or combination of meds are the best for you, your best bet is to ask on Crazy Meds Talk.  Better yet, if you want to let the world know how they worked out for you and want to help out others in their quest for the correct meds, join the party.
If you 
want to discuss your issues, I suggest checking out one of the various support groups online.  
Otherwise, if you're letting me know about how much you like or hate the site, or  need to let me know about medication effects in private, then just drop a note to jerod23 at gmail dot com  Honestly, I usually don't have a lot of time to answer e-mail these days.  The snide autoresponse message that may or may not hit your mailbox is going to tell you the same thing.
Another problem is that you may not get a response even if I wanted to send you one.  You see, so many dickweeds with malicious intents and too much time on their hands have appropriated the crazymeds.org domain name to use for their spam, viruses and the like.  Subsequently some lazy-ass e-mail protection software authors just go by the domain name, and not the IP address.  So I've been blacklisted because of the actions of others.  Or the software just doesn't like the domain name because of the "crazy" and/or "meds."  Or your question about a particular medication will set off spam flags.  So the e-mail just wouldn't go through regardless.  Sorry.

 

 

Hey, did you find this page all by itself through Google or some other search engine? Great! But to really appreciate the entire site, you need to start here.

 

Dead tree references:

You must be joking!  For a drug approved at the end of 2006 there's not going to be anything in books now.  There will be something in expensive journals, some of which we'll get our hands on eventually.  As it is general source material came from all of the following printed matter:

The PI sheet.

A handout from the pharmacy.

That's it for the paper-based stuff.  Everything else in print about Invega is in the peer-reviewed journals, and for people like us those are practically gray literature.   Outside of the abstracts on PubMed, we usually aren't getting much in the way of full text.

More general source material came from the following online sources:p>

Psychiatric News

Davis's Drug Guide

The Carlat Psychiatry Report

All other online sources, e.g. abstracts on PubMed, will have direct links to the source when used for specific references.

All rights reserved. No warranty is expressed or implied in this information. Consult one or more doctors and pharmacists before taking, or changing how you take any neurological and/or psychiatric medication. Your mileage may vary. What happened to us won't necessarily happen to you. Nobody on this site is a doctor, therapist, or a pharmacist. We don't portray them either here or on TV. Only doctors can diagnose and treat an illness. Some doctors tend to get pissed off by patients who know too much about medications, so tread lightly when and where appropriate. Diagnosing yourself from a website is like defending yourself in court, you suddenly have a fool for a doctor. Don't be a cyberchondriac, thinking you have every disease you see a website about, or that you'll get every side effect from every medication. Self-prescribing is just as dangerous.  All information on this site has been obtained through personal experience, the experiences of my friends, the experiences of people reported on online support groups, and from sources that are referenced throughout the site.  Know your sources!  As such the information presented here is not a substitute for real medical advice from your real doctor, just a compliment to it.  No neurologists, psychiatrists, therapists or pharmacists were harmed in the production of this website. All brand names of the drugs listed in this site are the trademarks of the companies listed after them in the pages about the drugs, even though those companies may or may not have been acquired by other companies who may or may not be listed in this site by the time you read this. Always read the PI sheet that comes with your medications and never ever throw them away.  If you didn't get a PI sheet, demand one.  Loudly.  Crazy Meds is not responsible for the content of sites we provide links to.  We like them, or they're paid advertisements, or they're something you should read to make an informed decision about a particular med.  Sometimes they're more than one of those things.  But what's on those sites is their business, not ours.  Very little information about visitors to this site is collected or saved. And from time to time I do look at search terms used to find it in an effort to make the information I present more relevant. Use only as directed. Void where prohibited.
