Hello Doctor,
I've been on Invega Sustenna (100 mg) for 10 months, and since starting it, my metabolism has changed drastically. I used to eat over 2000 calories daily without gaining weight, but now I gain a kilo if I eat just 100 calories over 1000. I stopped the medication two months ago, but my metabolism still feels off. How long does it usually take for it to return to normal? What can I do to help?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Here are some key points:
Adjustment Period: It may take time for your metabolism to return to normal after stopping Invega Sustenna.
Regular Exercise: Engage in cardiovascular activities and strength training at least 150 minutes weekly.
Dietary Choices: Avoid high-fat and processed foods; focus on a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.
Monitor Intake: Keep track of your calories to maintain a healthy balance.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to support your metabolism.
Consult a Professional: If issues persist, consider consulting a healthcare professional.
Be Patient: Recovery may take time, so stay consistent with your lifestyle changes.
