Brief Answer:
It may take 6-9 months to get period properly.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

INVEGA SUSTENNA contains paliperidone palmitate as active ingredient and it has quite LONG half life. It takes time 6-9 months to eliminate completely from body.

It can elevate blood prolactin level (hyperprolactemia) and leads to ABSENCE of period for long time.

I suggest you to undergo some basic investigation like complete hormone tests (LH/ FSH, Progesterone, serum prolactin, Thyroid profile etc) and one pelvic ultrasound scan to rule out some other underlying pathology (if any).

You may require hormonal contraceptive pill or progesterone pill to induce period. Kindly, consult with your treating doctor for proper management.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Regards,

Hello,

Thanks for follow up query.

Yes, birth control pill helps to induce period and you will get period soon. It should be taken for 2-3 cycles continuously to get effective result.

Take pill regularly for 21 days and then 7 days gap to get withdrawal bleeding like period. Repeat the same for next cycles also irrespective of period. It will be more helpful.
