Does Invega Sustenna Cause Permanent Brain Damage?
My son was given a 234mg shot of Invega Sustenna 10 weeks ago. I m only grateful that we were able to get him out of the hospital before they gave him any more of this poison. It s destroyed his life and ours, his parents. He is completely despondent and unable to take care of himself now. He moved out of his apartment, lost his job and stopped going to school. All because of the side effects of this horrible drug. He s on the verge of suicidal all the time. He was never like this in his life. He is afraid that he has permanent brain damage from the medication. Is there any way to purge this medication out of his body - any remote possibility, no matter how far fetched is worth trying. But I m also afraid that the damage to his brain may be permanent. I haven t been able to find a single case in any drug forum of anyone returning to normal after taking this drug. Please don t tell me that he feels bad because he needs more drugs. The drugs are killing him. Thanks
