Maybe-if weight gain: Invega Sustenna (paliperidone palmitate) & Zyprexa are different,used for same diagnoses. Thyroid dysfunction may be common in major psychiatric conditions so difficult to establish causality. There are look-back reviews indicating possibility of these medications affecting thyroid state; getting thyroid panel before starting either drug is a good idea (to rule out pre-existing thyroid problem).Weight gain can be related.
