I was on the 234mg injection every 3 weeks. It did run out short for me. There is a common side effect where it increases ur prolactin hormones. It basically makes ur body think ur pregnant. You may lactate, get big boobs, gain weight, and lose ur period. However, there are 2 meds you can add to it to prevent this effect (added also reverse it if it's already happened): abilify and metformin. Abilify worked for me but I have agitation so I went on the metformin and everything was fine. Most doctors do not know abt these drugs reversing the side effect of increased prolactin. So it may take some convincing and research on the dr part.
Invega/Risperdal were the only meds that I saw improvement with my symptoms (voices, paranoid delusions)
