Hello all, right now I am on the Invega 234mg injection and 1000 mg Depakote. I am wondering if I would be better on the 12 mg ( 6 mg and two 3 mg) Invega tablets along with the same Depakote. Something may need to be changed. I cannot sleep at night when I drink green tea. I wake up late. But I feel tired in the day-more wakeful at night. My parents are not willing to do me the small favor of waking me up so that I can fall asleep earlier. Alarms don’t work- for some reason they keep me awake-maybe some anxiety around this. What is your experience with this dosage? Any side effects or other effects that I should be aware of? When I was on 15 mg Abilify or even 7.5 mg I had weight gain, cognition and memory problems. The same occurred with 15 mg Zyprexa. I want to find the optimal dose for controlling symptoms and functioning well. I am wondering if Modafinil will work for daytime tiredness. I have heard for some people on this forum 5 mg Abilify works. Does a 5 mg Zyprexa work for you ?
Also, I forgot to mention- I am going to college in the day- which is why it is important that I address this. Thank you for your answers.
I think I was just having a bad night. I have some ideas of how to fix my issues.
I’m on the highest dose of Invega. I get the Trinza injection. Have been for about 5 years.
I have the best results with caffeine for staying awake. Otherwise I’d be like you.
Can U tolerate caffeine ?
Meds like Wellbutrin can help with daytime drowsiness too.
Talk with your pdoc.
