Im on Invega depot (approx 9mg in tablets), I urinate often because I smoke a lot and drink water after smoking. I know that anxiety can make you want to urinate often

Thank you for reply @TheFountainPen i just ask the q same question to one pharmacist this is his reply i hope it helps.

This may be temporary.

You may develop gradually tolerance to the adverse effect.

It is uncommon for it to stay for long or permanently.

I hope your symptoms resolve soon.

I am on 6 mg invega and I urinate often during the night. I wake up at least 6 times to go pee at night. I also wake up every hour during the night.

@November @Newlyborn do we experience some kind of kidney problems or its just common thing that we should not worry

14

I am honestly scared. I have blood test on Tuesday to check these things. I am praying it’s not pre-diabetes or diabetes, or kidney problems.

15

How long have you been on this dosage @November. Diabetes is low chance but i don t think it would a kidney problem also because looks like all the user is experience same side effect.

16

I started off with the injection was on injection for 5 years then I switched to this dose been on this dose for one year.

İ just ask another doctor and here his answer below

Frequent urination is a known side effect of Invega.

You should not worry about this, this is a temporary side effect. You should continue with the Invega. The urge to urinate will come down surely. Just continue with the medicine and you can expect it to come down in three weeks or so.
