So I was on oral Invega, but was forgetting to take my medication quite often, so pdoc has switched me to the Invega Sustenna injection. I got the first loading dose 2.5 weeks ago and the 2nd dose a week later. For the last week, I have had an increased appetite. I feel like I am starving unless I eat many times a day. Could this be caused by the Invega Sustenna? Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Hi Squirrel1983, I take Invega Sustenna and have never experienced that, but everyone's different. I would ask your doctor about it.
