I changed from every 3 weeks to every 4 with my invega. Bad idea. I am having symptoms. Get my shot tomorrow, was supposed to yesterday. Feeling really shaky and stressed, irate. Can’t handle any stress.

That’s so hard @anon4362788! So will you ask to switch back?
I had to do it every 3 weeks because it was causing things to get weird with me by the time the 3rd week was turning into the 4th week. If I remember right I was more restless, had a harder time sleeping and was more anxious and overly alert.
Have you considered Invega pills? If you think you can get used to taking a pill every night/day then I would say maybe think about it. I switched from the shot to the pills and can say it keeps things consistent.

can they come to your house?
I’m sorry you’re feeling lousy. Try to take it easy today. How long does it start to take effect once you get the shot?
we get the same 1, about a day or 2 moods start to get stable for me. Sedation kicks in after a few hours, after being manic and off the wall
A few days.
No @Winterblues they can’t come to my.house. I cpuld get my doctor to do it but i still have to pick up the med over 20 miles away
