Medications
1

Any one on a lower dose than 100 of invega?

2

On drugs.com the invega sustenna got the lowest rating of them all. That scares me

3

Invega is a bad antipsychotic. Clozapine is much better

Are you on invega?

6

Nope I’m on abilify

7

Invega should not be an option for antipsychotic there is not getting off if you’re screwed

8

Clozapine was horrible for me Damn couldn’t imagine invega then

9

Abilify seems like a good one one. My doctor is either an idiot or he did this on purpose. He probably would convince himself that I should be on this. Big mistake

10

Sorry I need to reduce that’s all I can do I guess

11

You need to tell your doctor this stuff. I know mine doesn’t listen either tho its frustrating

12

Abilify caused me td after 7-8 years on it. I take less now and the td is gone. My doc prescribed me cogentin. Not supposed to be prescribed for td. O well.

Hell take away my car. He doesn’t know anything. He’s a Muslim ■■■■■■■. Left me in psychosis for years put me on invega when I was dying. He doesn’t help never has. I’m getting a new doctor finally. I need my car though. I can drive. All psychiatrists probably just look for a reason to take away your car. Hes a jerk

I hated cogent in. They thought I was stiff or something. Gave me dry mouth. Nasty feeling

Hello there

I am on paliperidone it is same as yours. I get 50 mg injection every four weeks. I have been doing this for the past six years and I never got sick again. But my head doesn’t feel completely alert but it is manageable. I drive take care of my home and my son. I live normal life.

I hope this helps.

I am on 75 mg invega every 4 weeks. It works better than zyprexa for me. My challenge is to get active, eat healthy and get strong physically. I like walking.

I should add that the injection is free for us in the public health system in Trinidad and Tobago. That is a plus.
